Probably for got to state, I cancelled my Samson order for true dual fishtails and Thundermax tuner. The wait was no end in sight and neither was communication.
Good news is I found the exhaust local new in the box, so I am saving considerable money and have it sitting in the garage. Hopefully I can get to it next week. Too many projects at the house that have ran over and eating into my garage time.

PV4 is a dream to use and allows me to change as I personally modify things. I will never chase HP and Torque numbers, but who knows if a cam is in the future. I can load a canned tune, auto-tune and decide if I really need to take to a tuner.
Veterans Day is hard for me, and I don't need to be thanked for my service. This afternoon into the evening I was happy, putting on the new exhaust. It was dark and working with battery powered shop lights in the evening. It was cold, 36 degrees laying on concrete, but it was FUN. Everything done to this bike has been done by me, something about turning the wrenches yourself, which is what I wanted my H4H bike to allow me to do. The initial tune is in, but going to get another one from Fuel Moto sent over so I can compare... So far so good. Yes, a 36' jaunt to burn the pipes off (and here it rack off was in order).
Review Samson True Duals:
Everything except the small crossover heat shield fit well. This shield would not match up with the bend with my mufflers set in postion, I had to get aggressive damaged some coating and took it slightly out of shape just to make it adequate to run. I will probably look to trim a couple problem areas and touch up with high heat paint. Otherwise, it is everything I dreamed of.
Performance: I am running the baffles, which make it a quieter idle. I will have no problem parking it occasionally in the indoor parking under the downtown loft where I live. Crack the throttle or let off the throttle and you know it has fishtails, no lack of sound. Performance is great, tune is very close to spot on with no dead spots and no notice of torque issues anywhere through. I am not looking for a race bike, the stock 114 had plenty of power, this was about style and sound which are exactly what I was going for.
Passing lamp visors installed, definitely getting closer to where I am headed. New turn signal lenses should be here any day.
Those visor rings are a pain in the ***. I have them as well. Bike is definitely coming together.
I bent the mounting point from over tightening the bolt and I was looking at the Harley site to get some new ones and cant find them based on the part number I have 68775-93TA. Where do u get yours??
@abolton89 EBay, Harley doesnt sell them. I got a really cheap set that was new but missing one bolt. And they can be a pain. Bend the visor to match the contour of the light, put the ring on without the visorr or bolt, then spread open and slide visor in from the opening and around where you want it. Then bolt in.

Removed the dog dish hubcap, added HD Annihilator Rotors, and decided to paint the white letters. I am sure the result is in the eye of the beholder I am happy. Waited on any front fork upgrades while I seriously contemplate a springer conversion next winter. Time will tell on that, still some questions to get answers on from front end builders.
