Whoa big fella, I wouldn't change that gauge just yet...some tire manufacturers just announced they are going to introduce some tires that will use 140psi as a "Recommended Pressure"

 

Finished buttoning some things up from my bar swap, tucked the wires a little better by removing the harness cover and pulling them back in that way. Installed mini floor boards I got for Xmas, and put a cheap bar bag on. Also removed the tank lift, after awhile I didn't like the look very much.

 

Finally getting around to installing my big shot staggard pipes. Ended up getting them from fuel moto. Cant say enough goood about them.

 

This is the perfect time to remove the stock baffles and install the W158 TTI's; you will be much happier with the performance and the tone of the pipes.

You did order the TTI's, right?

Seriously, consider them. I've done 3 BSS installs on my 3 Wide Glides and you will appreciate the reduction in reversion in to the exhaust system, the improved low and mid-range torque, and the deeper tone of the pipes without the bright V&H overtones...

Kevin liked the images I took and he uses them on the DK website Smartest $20 you'll spend on that exhaust...

 

Took it for a long overdue ride. In the 60s today. 🌞

 

Well got the bike back from a buddy's shop after some motor upgrades. We didn't have time to strap it to the dyno yet so loaded a base tune he cooked up and I rode around doing auto tune on the power vision to at least get it in the ballpark. I will say I'm excited for him to fine tune it next week. Should run like scalded *** ape for a dyna with stock displacement.

 

What kind of bars are those?

 

Got a Roland Sands Venturi air cleaner, set of Cobra speedster slash cut pipes, FuelPak, Sundowner seat, and LED headlight to put on. The bike is 3 towns away in my friend's garage. I just gotta find time to bring my tools out and put it all on !

 

Being in Texas, three towns away can be, in my case, a ten minute ride, or a three hour one. Hope you get there soon, and make the bike even more your own...Oh, post a finished pic, too... tp dd50

 

Well, more tire related goodness. I just ordered the CyclePump expedition tire inflator combo w/gauge. The BMW guys swear by them, very small, good inflation performance, USA made (mostly...), and a lifetime warranty. We will see how it does.
This will be the crown jewel of my "on the road" tire repair kit consisting of tubes and tube repair stuff, and a really small home made folding track stand gizmo that will hold the bike up so I remove either wheel on the road. This sounds like a lot of stuff but it should pack really small, the target is all this, with exception of the tubes in a 11" X 6" X 6" tool bag, photos as it happens .
