I installed a set of Big Boyz ported heads, and a new S&S powertune dual exhaust pipe. They play very well together with the Andrews 57H cams in my 103". It has very good street manners now.

Custom seat from Rich’s, first off the guy does amazing work (knows what he is doing).
Great fitting seat, I can flat foot it with a little extra room and seat fits like a glove.
Called and talked them about my seat and height issues, was told about some issues I would have up front but assured they could work withwhat I had with just a new pan.
With all that supposedly worked out scheduled an appointment. Arrived a few minutes early and the place was hopping (this is mid-weekmind you).
Met some real nice folks.
A little slow getting started but we gotrolling. When I set up the appointment they said I should be all done by 2. So we get started and boom nope this won’t work and we have this other problem…..so we came up with a work around (more $$$). So they get rolling and then they come buy and ask about upgrading material. Man they have some nice leather($$$...)
I just bought the bike a week ago and not in the budget so no thanks(still need tires). This is right after the forth so the shop is getting backfrom a long weekend.
Did I mention the shop was busy, full of lots of nicebikes, a few cars and recliner. J
So they get the seat to fit my@$$ and I take the raw foam seat for a ride, nice fit. I come back and a few more minor tweaks and the gel and foam over the top.
Then its back to the cover and ya it has to be adjusted (more $$$).
Sense they had to sew the panelanyway I asked to have leather under my @$$ (breaths better) and with theleather they used it looks right at home.
Can’t tell buy looking at it, but youcan feel the difference.
That gets all done and we look over the bike and madean adjustment to the front cruise pegs.
Then its off to pay the bill, I wasasked if I wanted to sit down.
Dang blown budget is an under statement. Double the original estimate (with only one minor upgrade).
Would I do it again…..depends.
Right after buying a new (tome) bike NO (but it was this or lowering the suspension).
After I got over buying abike and had at least double the estimate in my pocket and needed the seat workdone for comfort or to fit the bike yes (he/they do great work, but $$$).
I prefer to pay cash for all the work I do (I had 150% of the original bid in mypocket, had to use my CC as it was not enough).
I was planning on my nextbike being a Ultra Low it fits me about the same as this bike fits me afterthe seat work.
But then I was told this seat will fit the new Ultra/Ultra Low,so maybe I can just get a normal Ultra and just put this seat on it.
I also came home with my old seat.
But this seat makes my 09 fit me like the Ultra Low does.
Once I was done I just made the 3:30 ferry back.

Polished wheels. Went for a ride. Got caught in a summer shower... Parked scoot, came inside and turned on AXS TV and am watching one of my favorite all time great guitarists....Jeff Beck in concert in Tokyo. Now that I'm pumped up, hope rain stops.....
