Spring mods have started!
Spring mods have started!
ok... want to make a few changes to the bob... 90% are maintenance but some are comfort and power related... here is my "to do" list...
new gaskets in primary, new pulley 70t in back (my stock on broke the retaining ring off the back), new oil cooler lines, new oil cooler gasket for crush plate, floor boards, clean TPS, CPS, Speed sensor, replace fuel pump lines, replace in tank fuel filter, weld up heel toe shifter, re cut and weld then install 2-1 pipe, swap SERT to TTS tuner, dyno tune for new pipe
Powder:
black - headlight mount block, pulley, floor boards, all mounting hardware for floor boards, heel toe shifter
blue - top trans case
should not take to long... got most of the powder work knocked out in the shop last night (least the black)
floor boards all coated
re coated my primary... I scratched the **** out of it last year, also did all the mount bolts this time including the derby cover bolts (re drilled and tapped them larger as well for a beefier look)
for my changes to the pipe, i do not want it to drag... and dont want a stock pipe either... so i am going to change the angle of the muffler a bit...
right now it sits like this
I want it to sit more like this.. no does not look like much but now it will not drag and have a cooler look to it
to do this i am just prob going to ajust the outlet on the pipe
simply cut a V out of it and weld it back up to get the right degree i want
then of course i will have to cut up and re weld up the mounts... good thing i powdered this last year huh hahaha
*My V&H big radius with custom coated shields and BCT baffles will be for sale as soon as i get them off the bike

no they are the 1/2 moon shakers i wanted something i could have complete adaptability... i still may have to strip the powder i just laid and cut and weld them a bit i want to move them as close to the bike as i possibly can the ones i have seen stick out a good amount ya know

If you're going floorboards for the rider, are you going floorboards for the rear passenger too?
The wife wants them put on mine, but I think it would look weird to have floorboards on the rear only (maybe not if that was reversed....not sure).
I might just buy an extra set of my pegs+stirrup (Kury Liberator) and put them on the back to give her that "floorboard feeling" without the look.
