Wide glide additions
In the last week, I've completed about $2,500 worth of new work to the '00 Wide glide. Me and my father did the visual work, but WIldcat Harley in London, Ky is handling the mechanical work. Not that we couldn't do the work ourselves, but without nessacary tools the cam bearing upgrade would be impossible in our modest home garage.
Here is a short list of what we've done. Feel free to comment and drop opinions, I'd like to know what you guys think!
-Street slammer handle bars
-Low profile mirros
-Mustang solo seat and fender bib
What Harley is doing...
-88" to 95" Big Bore kit
-10.5:1 forged pistons
-TW50 Andrews cams
-Dyna Tech Carbuerator Jet kit
-Screamin' Eagle Cam tensioner upgrade kit
The reason I didn't go ahead with the gear drive was a cost factor. The cam guides and tensioners as you guys know are problamatic on the 88's. But what's been done thus far cleaned me out. Harley is offering a "Beef up your bike" Special, so this alone is what allowed me to get it done now. Since a 15 month warranty and a Dyno tune are included in the $1800, I feel I couldn't go wrong here.
I included a few pics before we loaded her up, and when we got her to Harley...

Thanks guys. Haven't tested the new mods yet. She'll be out of the shop around the 12th of February. She was pushing roughly 63hp to the wheels before, but they are betting on 90+ after the work and tuning is complete.

Thanks Bro. The paint was a one year only deal with the gold-leaf in the letters. I've only seen one other bike, ever, with the same paint.
