yea I am pretty happy with the build and tune. It hits pretty hard down low which is where I normally ride anyhow, actually up to this point I have had the stock rev limit. I have been comparing dyno charts and the power I am getting from 3.5k-5.5k is really impressive.

I keep saying I should just make a post of my build and mods, this question seems to come up everytime I post pictures. But the fairing is a one-off, my custom designed and 3d printed fairing. I probably have 500 hours of design, printing and post processing in the entire thing.

Thanks, its good to see people appreciate all the work I put into it. This was 100% garage built other than the paint. I am the only person to ever wrench on this bike except for the first free 1000 mile service the local dealer did and the dyno tune. only 2 times its ever been to a service department.

Lots of killer rides! Here is a pic of mine that I finished up a couple of years ago.

Ooo, that's a nice clean look on that one! I have a similar (if not the same) air intake from DK Customs waiting to be installed (I'm waiting for my cheapo torque wrenches from Harbor Freight so that hopefully I can do it right the first time). Bright side: any weather nice enough for tinkering has simply been used for riding instead, so I don't mind so much. :P

Default 2006 Roadster

Just bought it couple months ago. I like the double disks, taller ground clearance and mid controls compared to the 07 C I had. The bike came with 2 windshields. Harley SuperSport and Touring. I added Rush slip on mufflers

This is what it looked like when I bought it. I couldn't handle those saddle bags, since when do saddle bags have reflectors?


My saddlebags have reflectors but not on the front for goodness sake !
