What are your build plans for this winter?
I have a 97 superglide convertible I’ve been upgrading. The joke is I can never get rid of it bc I’ve put so much money into it making it mine. Lol...I enjoy it so worth it to me. It’s now a semi-show bike since I got a road king I mainly ride and my dad likes to take it around. I enjoy the chase and reading the forums and magazines for ideas. Probably spent 100hrs reading on wheels and front end upgrade and finally ordered the parts. Here is what I have scheduled for this winter:
Paugcho wide springer
Mammoth spoke wheels. 18x3.5 rear and 21x3.5 front
Matching chrome pulley and polished rotors
Chrome performance machine calipers front and back
Chrome inner primary
Chrome starter
Nash 14” gimp bars
Motogadget bar end turn signals.
I’m not installing these myself bc there is so much this winter so no build thread
. However, I would like to know what everyone else has planned this winter??Last edited by AwesomeAustin; 01-22-2019 at 06:56 AM. Reason: Add pics.

I did my engine and suspension work last winter. Installed Andrews cam and sent my heads to Big Boys Head porting in Maine. Who is doing your head work?

Extensive CNC porting, texturing, and blending with an emphasis on best all around performance
Oversize Stainless 1.900" Intake 1.610" Exhaust valves
Newen Contour-BB CNC valve job
Our beehive style valve springs are manufactured from ultra clean high silicon / vanadium Kobe alloy wire and are certified up to .600 lift
Compression chambers machined to 86 cc. Mine were measured at 88.2 cc when I did my big bore and this with my cam advance key, .030 gaskets, and Andrews 37H cam should get me to around 10:1 (9.4 corrected) compression which is about max for the 37 and 57. I figured since I was doing the heads with larger valves I should do the throttle body as well while I was there otherwise it was all just for the higher compression.
Which cam did you put in?

Definitely an aluminum swingarm. That's paid for and about ready to ship. Also a new Lyndall rear sprocket (already in hand.) And some type of license plate hanger that I haven't yet figured out.
Definitely a cam chest overhaul. Probably an S&S gear drive conversion.
Probably a 98-100 big bore kit and CNC heads. Still weighing my options there. If I do that, also probably doing a HSR45 carb and maybe a Thunder Heart.
Rear shocks and Speaker 7" Adaptive on deck. Already picked Howard's brain and it sounds like my best upgrade path is Ohlins piggy backs.
