Winter mod list for the new Ultra Bob

Well started out with a 2007 street bob with a mustang seat, forward controls, cycle shack slip ons, and a permanent sissy bar.
Here is the mod list and what is accomplished so far:

Relocate ignition to dash - Done

Adapt softail footboards to forward position- 90% finished

Make backing plates for touring bags to go on dyna using easy brakets - 50% finished, the design is done, they are going into the punch press this week

Detatchable tour pak 90% done, just need to paint the tourpak and waiting for jackyls rack in the mail

Road king rear suspension - Done including hidden plumbing

ricors intiminators - waiting for them in the mail

fuel moto stage one air - done

Power vision tuner- done

New badges 60 pan style- waiting for warm weather so the glue will be softer

king cobra headlight - waiting for it in the mail

reckless road king fairing with stereo- 25% done

steering damper - waiting for it in the mail

New handle bars from ebay- waiting for them in the mail, I was planning on having one of our forum members make a set up for me, but with all the other mods in various stages i could not swing them at this time.

Python 2 into one pipes - not started yet as i am waiting to find out if i will do the cams before spring.

Maybe a cam swap, if a deal works out with a local indy shop to get the parts from.

I will post pics and up date this as it goes. The slowest thing was fabbing up all the adapter parts to get things to fit on a dyna that were not meant to.

Future mod list:
fat bob lower legs
sputhe frame stiffeners
sealed spoke wheels for tubeless tires
a speedo tac combo of some sort

With all the stuff you're planning on attaching to your bike, do the Sputhe ( or True Track) sooner rather than later. It'll ride like a dream with road king suspension and stabilizer..

all the luggage and bagger stuff is detachable, and will really only be used on long trips.

The lower air dam is actually called the lower air baffle, but i did find one, cut it and PC it, no big deal and looks kind of different, not bad though
