"DIY MODS" and TRICKS to SAVE $$$$$$
#431
I purchased a stock 2004 classic (electra glide) and punched the baffles out. I noticed an immediate improvement in the acceleration from stop. High end performance didn't change. NExt for me is to mod the exhaust to a true dual and replace the pipes.

Garage Door Opener
To whoever posted the initial idea on the garage door opener---Thank you! I just finished this mod myself on an 09 Street Glide and put a total of $6 dollars in it. I used an extra remote that I had and paid $3 for a momentary switch from Radio Shack along with $3 for some velcro. I used the blanks in the filler panel and put the opener up in the fairing. It took me about an hour (and 4 beers but I drink fast) and it is up and running. My wife said it looks like the switch was meant to be there!
Again, thanks for a great idea.

there's a lot of discussions about visibility and lighting. At night, my 04 E-glide classic is ok, but daytime I want to be NOTICED! I began searching for lighting. Here's my first addition. A set of side marker lights that look pretty good. My only reservations were drilling a 1 inch hole in the tour pak!
They function as turn signals only. I have considered a set of RED ones like these to augment the brake lights..but I'm going to wait. They look decent..the chrome bezel around the outside is neat, the thickness (less than 1/2 uinch) makes them low profile.

$35 Road King Windshield bag
Wanted a windshield bag, but didn't want to drop $75 for the HD version. Too small, black latch & too much $$.
Found a "generic" bag with chrome studs for $30 at a local shop, ordered a bag of 10 "black studs" from the Mustang seat folks for $4, and swapped the studs, same holes and all. Ended up with this after about 10 mins work.
