Yeah I agree with you re the mufflers I have on now (Fuel Moto Street Outlaws). The fishtails with true dual headers were all look/sound and loss of torque. As for the handlebars these are 14" J&P Cycle brand ape hangers, which were inexpensive and the perfect dimensions for me.

 

Yeah. Do a couple of week long trips each year. No windshield, full face helmet. Love it!

 

Less work for the dealerships though which is probably a factor?

 

who knows… working in the heavy truck design field I know that our service department always asks to make things easier for them to work on not harder

 

HD engineering could make things easier but the dealer techs still charge the same amount of time I bet. There are plenty of folks who are going to utilize the dealerships for maintenance regardless. It's us poor sobs that turn our own wrenches that suffer their design flaws. The crazy thing about the clutch cylinder cover is it only requires a hair more clearance to come off with the stock header pipe. Why they could not factor in that little bit of room is beyond understanding.

 

Few shots from today’s ride

 

Hey Oscar how come all your pics are in your hood? Are you really riding or just rolling it out front. Lol
Seriously though good lookin scoot and the LEDs in the lowers are pretty cool.

 

Wanted to ride around the block, but my windshield is torn down and I didn’t want to go for such a long ride without it. So I rode down the driveway and back! Felt like a champ! Lol

thanks brother!

 

Too funny.
I still haven't had a chance to try out the Kahuna grips. The weather has been crap ever since I installed them. They feel good sitting in the garage though. The temps aren't getting any better the next several days. More snow tomorrow but not supposed to be as bad as this past Monday. I installed the old grips on a buddy's Triglide.

 

hope you like them when you get a chance to ride. I tried my heated Kahunas and while they get very hot I wasn’t impressed when rode Tuesday morning when it was 34 degrees. Fingers were getting iced lol. I think heated gloves would work much better.
