Road Master
Greg put more air in, Metz need 40/46 cold, they require more air than Dunlops, check their website. You don't want a tire failure, had a tire blow once, not fun.

Greg it appears you have hd detachable bags,any interference problems with the shocks?
Not with the shocks, but with the mega Supertrapp muffler. The bags I have are BossBags, I plan to sell them. I purchased a RoadGlide a few months ago, so don't really need bags on the Dyna anymore.

Greg Looks great..Enjoy riding it till the wheels fall off!
ALWAYS check ya tire pressure.I do
I have the same rear ohlins 215's and got the front forks done by traxxion dynamics 20mm cartridge kit that has rebound & compression damping with the new metzeler roadtech z6 tires and a storz damper it being still harley it handles GREAT!! and a full brembo front & rear brake setup caliper n rotors with a radial front brake master it stops on the dime.
Now i just have to get my *** to drop it off @ rosas cycle for a hot 107 kit..

Havoc, sounds really nice. I am curious re: the damper. What year/model do you have? I had a damper on my track bike because it would shimmy out of some turns, but haven't yet noticed any issues of that sort with my FXD.
I am frustrated on the brake issue, with a 07 FXD there is no way to add dual discs without changing wheels. I have real issues with spoked wheels due to what happens when they get a puncture, so am stuck with the cast wheels.
I am thinking of a 6 piston PM caliper...perhaps a cast iron rotor
.
?

These are radials aren't they? What size do you use? I presume you have cast wheels (didn't think you were supposed to use tubes in radial tires)? If they are cast, are the HD wheels (i.e. you have dual discs)?

Ahhh, relief.... Harley guys actually talking about handling improvement mods on a Harley. Another bright spot in the day. Have raised mine by a paltry 1/2 inch with the 440's, need another inch. Moved the front forks flush in the clamps, good for a bout a quarter inch. Gonna order probably works springs and maybe an inch spacer on top of them.
Modding the pegs while riding, so there's 1 inch more clearance.

09 dyna here.Yes there radials..Im not on the lace wheels
110/80/19 180/55/17..Im using the storz damper
here's the brembo setup im using... 4 piston 4 pad its a agressive caliper and with the rotor and the brembo radial master its a sweet!http://www.qtmi.com/STREETbrakes.html
The 6 piston pm caliper is great also..My dad is running it on his dyna with a pm rotor.
