Made a few changes
Got my scooter back Friday from the indy guy and it's running pretty sweet!
Had him put in a Thundermax ECM w/custom map and a Arlen Ness Big Sucker which I had him set up as an open element. I have to say I'm pretty damn happy with the performance so far.
Rev limiter is at 6500 now and I have far more range between gears than ever before. Great throttle response off the line and through the gears. Seems to be running noticeably cooler as well. He didn't dyno it becasuse all the humidity this past week would have skewed my dyno numbers and he didn't see the point in not being able to give me the best numbers possible. Absolutely no popping on decel now,no matter how hard I let the motor drag.
I also added some black covers to the motor and trans courtesy of Trotter. (Thanks again man.
) It was an easy little change that made for a different look on my blonde motor. Lot's of folks dig the chrome, but I wanted to try something different. I added a few pics of the new look at the bottom.
I also picked up a mint Sundowner for her but wasn't satisfied with the look on my bike so i mounted it and took it back off. I'm thinking of going with a Badlander. Any opinions on that seat? I think that seat will flow much better on my bike, although the Sundowner is a damn comfy seat. If anyone is looking for a Mint condition Sundowner pm me.
Looks like I'm done with mods at least till the winter time when I foray into Ape Hanger territory.

Wow, that looks great. Your motor has a great contrast with the silver and black. All the chrome motors look the same, but that black really sets yours apart. A set of night train rocker box covers might look good also. Great looking bike.

I forgot to mention I plan on doing those rocker box covers sometime over the winter.
Still have to price them out and see how much of a pita they would be to install.

Hey, maybe I'm a trend setter DeeBlues! At least I'll know I was the first kid on my block to try it. Most guys around here are big time chrome ******.
So far, just about every mod I have made is the total opposite of all the other bikes around here. That and the fact that I have an FXD, not a Softy like 90% of the dudes in my town.

Jay - Badlander looks good but is a pain in the a$$. I don't even have to look at my odometer, when my butt starts to hurt, I know it's been about 40 miles.
