Hey I want some details on dropping the front end. I have seen others mention they have dropped theor front ends by lowering the forks? I am not talking about getting new front springs. can someone clarify this, and let me know if this would be safe to do with a set of lowered progressive springs in the back?

Is the rear guard (as you call it) available for both models and do they utilize the same part number?
For future reference, this is not the correct thread to post this in. There is the "Dyna" forum where you can ask questions like that. This is the "Under $50 thread" where members post modifications that cost UNDER $50 to do.

Cheep air cleaner cover
Got tired of my Screamin' Eagle chrome football.
Not my original idea, don't claim any rights to this, but it is cheap.
The wife hasn't even found out yet.

one pot lid from the dishes from my first marriage.
took all of about 5 minutes from "what the hell" to having it on the bike. Just had to drill it out a bit to accept the nut.
Still have the football if I know I will see some rain. Can also buy one of those foam sponge things that go over exposed air cleaners on tractors and such.

If that one isn't right for you, they make others and the prices are not bad. Get to pick a color you like too.
Without a fender on that front tire left turns are going to toss up any water that might be on the road so I think it might not be a bad idea to get something for it sooner rather than later.
Ya never know when you'll be forced to ride on wet pavement.

I ride with an open a/c...I've ridden in drizzles and I've ridden in torrential downpours. I have yet to have any problem with water getting into the a/c and bogging my motor down. I just don't believe the hype over a/c covers and this and that.

+1 Have been caught in some heavy downpours and never had an issue with my AN BS. During the Iron Butt back in May we had about 3 hours of rain, while it concerned me, I had no problems during or since.
