Default Waiting.. On parts

I decided to change my bike up. I'm done getting beat up by my "cool" riding position and crappy suspension. I sold off a bunch of stuff and picked up a 2-1 FXDF head pipe with a reverse megaphone, new lowers so I could run a front fender again, full Works suspension, T bars, and some other small stuff. Now I'm sitting around waiting on parts and powder coat (Thanks for the hook up Joe!) to show up so I can get this thing back on the road. Nothing like 70 degree temps and hundreds of bikes on the road to light a fire under your *** to get a project done!

Funny thing, I'm away from home on a business trip so last night to kill some time I went down to the local Harley store. I was talking different bars with the sales guy and he was telling me how many people come back a few weeks after getting mods done because they can't ride for more then 45 minutes before they start feeling pain. They love the look of the mods but the body doesn't agree.

DTDK the pipes have been sold.

I got the 12.6 steel trackers and triple rate springs. I'm going back and forth on ricor intimidators.

Joe I can't wait to get that stuff. Shoot me a text and let me know the bill.
