What should I upgrade now? 09 Fatbob
Well, I always said it'd be nice to get a HD that has all the doodads I wanted instead of having to pay full price for it all.... Well, now that I have what I always wanted, I'm not sure what to upgrade anymore... lol. Anyway, below is a pic of my scoot. My upgrades thus far include:
VH big radius
Poly bar bushings
Kury kinetics w/ throttle boss
Derby and timing covers
rider pegs
windshield
smoked blinker lenses
LED laydown tailight
Bags
Solo seat
fender bib
upgraded headlight bulbs
RSD intake
Fuelpak LED
I was thinking shocks, but I hear the 412 progressives aren't much better than stock, plus I can't decided on chrome or not. Was thinking of maybe brake pedal and shifter peg upgrades. Not sure if I'm crazy about the batter box band, but I don't care for the HD alternatives. I prefer the chrome console and gas caps as they are.
So, not sure what to do next or am I done? I want a simplistic look, with mostly black with tasteful chrome here and there. I'd love me a set of new style fat bob rims, but I haven't seen any around and I'm not even sure they'd fit.
Anyway...what do you guys think?

Suspension upgrade - best upgrade out there, although not the cheapest. I did a lot of research and went with Hagons and Traxxion as best price point for me. If money had been no object then it would have been Ohlins but at twice the cost I couldn't justify them in my head. I'm doing similar as you mix of chrome and black. Was originally going blacked out. Just get your wheels powdercoated.

Zamaim - No offense, but the powder coated stock rims aren't for me. The new ones that say HD on them though I like.
BTW - what do you have mounted just above your front fender? Is that the fork brace you refer to you in sig?
As for cams - seems a little intimidating task to me to install them. The bike is pretty new to me and not really comfortable dropping cash on things like cams - then I worry about doing it right, tuning, etc. The bike is plenty snappy for me at the moment.

Shocks. Not progressives. They are junk and can't even be rebuilt. Id say Works or Ohlins, maybe Race Tech. There are plenty of reputable brands out there, but those seem to be in the highest regard around these parts. The price of admission on them isn't cheap, but it is unreal what they can do for your ride. Without experiencing one of these shocks first hand, you can't even comprehend the difference...

I like where HD Pilot's head is at! Performance time!!!! Get that motor really roaring or at least have the hearing do some leg work w/ a 30/68 or 30/70 pulley swap.
