i prefer to be rubbed the right way.lol

 

I put mine on the tender, since it's supposed to rain the next few days

 

got confirmation on a new swing arm being sent for a 230 project. got a vision. seeing if I can kind of straddle a vintage yet modern look (umm.. yeah). hope I can get it out of my head and onto the bike.

 

Yeh I relate to that. More used to the carby bikes and evo motors. Still enjoy the relative simplicity of the 107" evo in the Big Dog. Stepping into efi and land of VE's has been a learning experience. and when you learn some aspects of efi tuning, there are still yet more aspects to learn.

your '05 is already set up well off the factory floor- good final overall drive ratio gearing, go forth and add a good cam, raise compression for the cam, tune carb / timing, and ride all day long. 07 and up bikes, tall final overall ratio gearing, efi tuning, tuning product required or go to a dyno shop - more complicated to do motor upgrades and tune them correctly. For example, with the simple cam upgrade in the Breakout, here it is a week later and I'm still dicking around with tuning it in, and entirely dependent on finding a decent base map tune file that has correct hidden cam timing settings that I have no access to tune or change myself. something historically simple adds complication and expense for the average bike owner.

 

Wow Jack that sounds & looks awesome! Definitely jealous...last weekend I out 45 miles on mostly city doesn't even compare!

 

Installed 50mm TB and 4.9 injectors. so far so good. However- that there right above is what having a Hog is all about!

 

Hit a milestone the other day...

 

Nice...................

 

Removed the reflectors. Haven't quite decided on the tanks badges yet...
