What did you do to Your Sportster Today?

Down low - up until ~5000 rpms - the Sporty 1200 does better.
Depends on what's you want.
The only Indian I've seen that's worth a look is the Bobber. It's looks get a - "meh...it looks ok..." - from me. I wouldn't even remotely consider replacing my Nightster with one. All the other Indians are just butt ugly in my opinion.

Finally got my Bassani Forepower slip ons tonight so I decided to throw em on. Couldn't have been more than 20-30 minutes between removal of the stock and the installation of the new slip ons.
Let me start by saying, I'll most likely be disliked around my neighborhood from this point forward. These things are LOUD. I'll update as far as any performance boost I feel after tomorrow's ride. Until then, I'll leave you all with some photos.

1)Installed the Custom Dynamics "eclipze2" on my bar end indicators so I can run them as running lights as well as turn signals. The indicators only use 2 wires as opposed to the factory 3 wire system.
2)Grabbed a few 5/16 fine thread nuts & lock washers for the exhaust. Will use them temporarily as they aren't stainless and don't want them to self weld themselves on there.
3)Took a look at the breather bolts inside the intake. Man these things do spit some sh*t into the filter. I will certainly be looking to buy some DK products soon. Either the filter bolts or possibly the catch can system. Sooo dirty in there! May have to do a sea-foam cleanse.
4) Drove her to work this morning, left my house and it was a balmy 0 degree C. Bike seems to like running in the cold weather. Starting in the weather, not so much.

Johnny, go straight to the catch can system, I tried the filter bolts on my sporty, and all that yuck ended up spewing all over my engine.

Fiddled with the battery tender voltage tester. Cool little gizmo.
