Nothing. Been out of town for about awhile. I did call bobby wood today and order my 4* gear. Everything should be waiting on me when I get home next week. I'm ready. All this flooding down here has been a drag.

Just got back. It's definitely not fixed! Bah!!!!

Edit: ordered an idle cable for a 2006 Low Rider. Hoping it will be a good length with the bars I have on the bike - and I can adjust the free play. There is way too much slop in the throttle now. I doubt it will fix the idle surging, but it's a problem I definitely want fixed.

The new indicator bezel is a huge improvement, BTW.
The glare off the chrome "dash" on my Super Glide is brutal. I'm about to have it p/c'd wrinkle black to mute it. Might even cut some skate board tape to cover the top of my upper triple tree, as well.

Wow, a 1000 pages on the Dyna line. Pretty cool, for sure. Been a great and informative read. Here's hoping for another 1000 pages, even though MoCo stopped production. tomp dd50

Had a pretty bad exhaust leak on the front cylinder. I never liked the way it went back together after doing my cams. Tried the SE high performance gaskets. Can't believe how well it buttoned up. Best of all, not a spec of decel pop. I'll probably run an auto tune today because who knows how long that thing was leaking until it started actually making noise.

Didn't do much but rode 2200 miles to Sturgis and back with my girl.
I did add a Danny Gray IST seat you can pump up for comfort.
I got back and ordered some adjustable passenger pegs for her because that was the only ergonomic problem the whole way.

Horn relocation to front. Used stock Low Rider horn.
Coil relocation with Sportster wires.
Ignition relocation with FXR switch and Sportster housing.
Battery charger port relocation.
Made a few custom brackets, but also want to say thanks to DK Customs for help with the wiring.

Looks like the Optimate O20 socket. I've got one you can have for the cost of postage, if interested.

From my build thread...

I did some more digging and ordered some XT60 connectors and matching panel mount. I'll have to figure out how to weather-proof it, but I'm familiar with the connector and know it will do the job nicely.

XT60 on left, XT30 on right. The 60 will hande 60 amps, which is PLENTY, but the XT30 is simply too small to grip (I use the 30 on my LiPo RC stuff)



Optimate O20 panel mount. Rated for 10 amps. (The Optimate charger outputs 9.5A) Requires 1" thru-hole. Weather-tite SAE connectors on both ends. I was going to cut off the pigtail connector and splice in ring terminals to direct wire to the battery. Would fit nicely on the early Dyna ignition switch panel under the seat but I'm already using that.
