Sorry not to hijack the thread, can you post the details of the phone holder. I have Galaxy S4 but can't seem to find a good holder. Also does it work good on bumpy roads?
Now to the thread, I went on the Wildflower and Yankees Tavern run (360 miles round trip) on Saturday with my riding group and did a lot of cleaning and waxing after the return. I hate washing my car but for some reason cleaning the bike is fun!

I spent 4 hours cleaning my bike yesterday for that picture. LOL

I don't really like the Galaxy S4 holder, cause I carry my S4 in a OtterBox case. The S4 only clicks to the holder w/o being in the case. I haven't really tired it on any long runs yet, but I would be confident it would hold on bumps and all. I bought mine off of ebay.

Picked up my 2014 48 about a week and a half ago. Immediately felt it was too quiet, a quick Youtube search and found a guy who drilled a 1 inch hole in his stock exhaust baffles to hold me over until Vance & Hines released their Big Radius for the 2014s... I know, I know, not good to do but, it was a quick fix and has worked pretty well aside from the horrible decel pop I get without a tune.
Today, I was greeted with an email from Vance & Hines that their 2014 Sporster 48 Big Radius has started shipping and immediately called the dealer to get mine on order so, here is a list of parts I am hoping come in by Friday;
1. Vance & Hines Big Radius 2into2 BLACK
2. V&H Fuelpak FP3
3. V&H Naked VO2 (not sure of the filter cap I will go with just yet so, went with naked for now).
Now I wish I also added the speedo/tach combo as a stock replacement but, I can always pick that up later...

Installed Power Commander V, Mocked up and mounted custom DIY seat, and primed custom DIY rear fender.
Adding an edit: That is the DK seat hinge so you can see how it sits( those are 4" springs, I'm 6'3 225). I like it, and the hinge feels like it is bomb proof.

Their website doesn't display the information yet for the LEMANS/DRAG Part # but, armed with the email I went to the dealer and had them order it ONLY because I had about $300 worth of dealer credit from when I picked up the bike...
The exhaust should be the same for all sportsters 883 and 1200 alike...
V&H Part Numbers are...
Black 46067
Chrome 26067
Oh and today, I put the black headlight surround on in place of the chrome, put smoked front signal lenses and swapped to amber bulbs. Also picked up the 2014 sportster service manual.
