I'll get some new shots this weekend. One day I'll make it over to the other coast on my bike.

Here is a pic where Rt 66 hits the 40. It seems to be the only pic I took of my bike on the trip. This bike takes everyone else's bike that i ride with every time. It is faster, handles better, and more comfortable as well. 2 of my buddies on teh trip got Tru Track as well since they were there.
It was a lot of fun to leave the 103 with stage 4 heads in the dust. He has 255 cams so once he hits 4000 rpms its over for him. Surprisingly enough he now wants to change his cams.

14" JRI rears from Motorcycle Metal, Howard Messener, a great guy that really does know what he is talking about and comes through for you.

Yup. 14" but they are adjustable. I am thinking about taking them up a little higher so my footpegs don't hit in the canyon's. Flush axle has arrived and will be mocked up today prior to powder coat.
Once again for people who don't have Try Track....get it. It is one of the absolute best things you can do to you Dyna.

Can I do it in my garage with a jack and basic hand tools?

You can. It was not too bad but getting the rear bolts out of motor mount and turning them around was a bit of work. Also getting the rear side piece in was a bear.
I'd imagine if i did it all teh time I would be much better at it. Plenty of people put them on here on teh forums.

Over the weekend I switched to an integrated LED tail light with a black lay down plate holder. I'm itching to do the brembo's in the front like you did. I've been keeping my eye out for a cheap pair of calipers. I'd love to do the Lyndall rotors too....but damn those are expensive. I plan to get lots of stuff powder coated but that'll wait till winter. I have the stock FXDX cast wheels I want to powder coat, my fork lowers and triple trees, my brake and shifter levers. My footpeg brackets. I've got my performance mods squared away for the most part. I'd love to change to a 2-1 exhaust at some point. Probably either one by R&B racing or D&D...probably the boarzilla. I'd also like to change cams at some point. I have S&S 585 now. I think I want to go to 624 or 640.
