RE: What do buy next?
Patch..I have the chrome battery cover w/ HD script. Not sure if I included that in my list of upgrades. The motor mount cover is out because I have a toolbag covering it. However, the coil cover sounds interesting. Does it fit an 06?
JV...I definitely want to get the six shooter gauge. How's the install and how does it work once it's on? That's been the only thing holding me back.
Try...I don't ride in the rain. Partially because I don't want my bike to get dirty
...but more because I don't need to take the additional risk. I've been caught in the rain and I really just don't enjoy it. And the bottom line is riding is supposed to be fun. I'm not going to do it if I don't enjoy it.
I was thinking about the windshield you mentioned...so how does it look? You have any pics. Thanks man.

Yea the weather suck's is right on. Also it sounds like you are alittle bored. Nothing to do but look over the ride and see what you can add. You should probably go with your first instink, the windshield. I personally don't like em, but can see where they would be useful at highway speeds. If anything I would go with a small detachable..
Good luck with your decision... There's alway's next week to ride.

Todd the gauge is real simple to install. I think it took me about 15-20 mins with no problems. It works just as good as the stock gauge which wasn't very acurate to begin with. There are five blue lights on the side. They go out 1 by 1 as you get lower on gas then the last one will turn red. Then when you are suppost to be almost out the red will start to blink. I learned that when it starts to blink I have about 50 miles until I need to go to reserve then about 50 miles on reserve before I'm out. Hope this helps.

Wow impresive list, let me provide one tad bit of information, chrome don't get you home. Maybe a new exhaust, air cleaner, carb kit, cam, ect.. something to increase performance or sound. I have a ton of chrome and know the pains assiciated with it plan on spending a few hours a week shinning, and just when you think she is clean you will see another place needing a buff. Get yourself a "pimp-stick" and some good detailing rags and polish your going to need them. Just me .02 worth

I also have tons of chrome and know all about the buffing but like ven. said I enjoy buffing my bike and love the look of it when it's done and it also gives me something to do when I can't ride. I am now working on getting cams installed and I'm having a hard time deciding on what cams to get I don't want to change anything but the cams so if you know of any cams that will work good with a stock motor please post me a few links or part numbers..... Thanks Naz

RE: What do buy next?
That inter primary cover was easy to install, remove 4 bolts from outer and put inter on reinstall bolts, that easy! As for the interface cover it was easy also all but that one bolt which is in a hard place to get to, I ended up having to bend a allen wrench to get to it, hope I never have to take that thing off!! Thanks for the complement on my bike and take care, Naz
