Good test ride

Got a good test ride in today with my new set-up and I love it. Its like riding a totally different bike. I was a little worried the Super sweep bars were going to be to much pull back but man are they comfortable.

The Heat Demon Grip Heaters work great. It takes a few miles to heat up but they get nice and warm. My thinner leather gloves and those will work on the coldest days. I am going to order there seat heater next.

I do miss having a tach a little but its not a big deal.

Tach

Bob- When you were cruzing the Carlini web didn't you see the gauge cups for your bars ? I think it would look great.

Glad the test ride was a success. You did a great job on the build and the bike looks killer.

Ya I have seen them. This are actually the original bars I was going to go with before I put the 07 SE bars on. I was going to use there cup for the speedo. I decided to go with the SE bars instead.

Now that I have the bars I orginally wanted and have them clean, I dont want to mount a tach or anything on them. I also sold my tach to Jackjr along with the bars.

If I miss having a tach to much I will go with the HD combo or one of those mini digital ones.

good ride

That is great that you got some driving time in. I have averaged just over 50 miles a day since 2/22/10 so as of today I broke the engine in at 523 miles, finally.

I'm used to no tach with my 07 Sportster, but I would like that gauge also.

The bike rides far more comfy/stable than my other, let alone almost double the CI/cc's. I can't wait to go to a bikefest tomorrow, so I can open her up more than I have, due to breaking in the big-D.
