Last winter, I installed the CCE upper triple tree, which includes new tubes. I added Race Tech Springs and new valves. About $1k in parts. This produced a major improvement in low and high speed handling. The front end is much more precise. I recommend it to anyone with an 09-13.

This winter, I'm doing the comp upgrade, changing my V&H ProPipe for a SuperTrap Supermeg (quieter), and may finally add 89 cc S&S head. I'll probaly wimp out and pay a someone to do the heads.

Spoken like a true southerner.... don't forget we have sub zero temps and several feet of snow and ice for 4-5 months in the north.

If you are happy with your bike as it is why not stretch your horizon and get a sled, crotch rocket or dirt bike to play with?

Would never get me in the south my friend... I love the four seasons... I don't complain when one ends and the next one begins... Harley weather turns into nice scenic cool air and fall scented rides... then into deer season, then to ice fishing and snowmobiles, then riding season again in late April early May... NY is a shithole of a state for politics, but weather-wise, I love it..

Sure, cause VA never gets any winter weather. Us "yankees" can still function when 1/2" of the white stuff falls.
