HD heated grips. They work great, but they broke after less than a year. I'm on my second set, so we'll see how they do this time around.
I have always come close to buying stuff from Harbor Freight but never pulled the trigger. I take it from your post the Jack is garbage?

The jack itself isn't garbage, but it just doesn't work well with the Dyna and that little tranny lip piece, even with the adapters.

The right tool for the job is J&S or Pitbull.

From everything I've been reading here I'd have to say going with the Progressive 440's instead of the Ohlins. Now don't get me wrong I like the 440's but the Ohlins sound awesome.

1. I wish I would have went with a 120 x 21 in the front rather than the 90. In the works as a type.
2. I also kinda wish I got sideshots rather than my shortshots. Anyone want to trade?

Buying a Sportster as my first Harley. Nice bike but wasn't right for me. Because of Harley's trade in program "only" lost shipping and handling costs when I got the Dyna.
