That's is a very nice fairing! It will look good on your scoot.
It looks to me that this was originally and FXRD fairing. I have never seen one without the glove boxes, Is that OEM ? or can they be removed from the fairing? Or was it modified somewhere along the way?
We have done lots of installs of these type fairing on various bikes, if you have any specific questions on mounting it , ask away.

Hogpro,
You welcomed me when I started reading HDF shortly after I purchased my first Harley, a 2001 FXDXT. It had 32k then, now it has 47k.

0-24-2012,
Welcome. Your bike does not have the stock shocks on the rear. Just thought I would let you know.

What I have done in this first year.
2nd owner still had the original rear shocks and was willing to part with them, so that was, thanks to you even back then, my first mod.
Pegs and grips.
Hydraulic cam tensioner.
Seat rebuilt by 'Bitchin Stitchin'.
I kept the forwards but I added mid mount pegs.
Added a rack and put grommets in a cooler that holds a 6 pack of bottles, like your Police Box, but $19.95 at REI.
V&H Big Shot Staggered.
I'm on my second new rear tire already, and do like the Michelins better than the Dunlaps. Front and rear now.
Colorado weather being what it is, I got hand guards fabricated in Joe's Garage.
Daymaker LED headlight, Kury LED tail lights and turn signals front and rear. I can SEE
A gasket here and there.

I love the bike to be clear about it, and it may be the last one I own. So I have been proceeding for comfort, longevity and reliability.

So now what? I have the disease and you are partially responsible damn you all!

I don't ever expect to keep up with you, jbco2, Parts Eater, Photo Rider, jpace024, danofxdx, Slv, Mr Natural 78, Jrk5892 or Kk6pg, but I know that someday I will wish I had more than I have.
More of what I'm not too sure yet.

Big Bore
Not until it needs it. On my big trip, through Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Oregon and Northern Ca, and Utah on my way to Sturgis, No one smoked me. I felt that in the Canyons even with the stock 88, I had to hold back when I was riding with 96 or 103 dressers.
Not on the straights though.

Cams
When I put in the hydraulic Cam tensioners, I studied cams a bit, and partially understand the theoretical relationship of Cylinder head flow rates and Compression Ratio and Intake closing but there were so many opinions that I got dizzy.
Maybe at 80k when I need to look at the top end.

Carbs
My hot rod buddy wants me to put in Minuki but considering the difficulties you had I am hesitant.

All three carburetor/manifold combinations were very close in the flow potential based
on the various lifts on these particular casting heads. This supports the suggestion that the carburetor choice has little bearing on actual performance of a stock head of this casting, since the two performance carburetors (Mik42 and SE44) showed only a marginal improvement over the stock CV40 carburetor.
The typical safe cam lift limit for these heads is slightly more than .510”, so keep in mind any gains (or losses) above that in flow potential are mute points.

I have challenged the twisties with confidence, but you rather sold me on the tru track. Is that going to make a difference with my 88?

I am continually rereading your thread to see what I need to do next time I have a Dollar 95 to devote to it.

If you were not in a hurry as I, and wanted to continue the build for another 100k miles, where would you spend my money next?

Well, the unfortunate part of this story is that I sold the FXDXT a few months back and bought a bagger. I am a traitor. Now if I had unlimited funds I would buy and S&S 124, Baker 6 speed transmission, convert to chain drive. The Tru Track made a huge difference in handling. It is difficult to explain but I guarantee that you will notice a big difference in the way the bike handles.

A simple 95 build with cams will make a huge difference. Mikuni is not a necessary part of the recipe, only something I did as I wanted to see how much different the bike felt with it. The bike felt much peppier but you can rejet that stock carb. I'd do cams before a big bore if doing one item at a time. The stock 88 with the 21 cams I had in it and the ignition that were in it at the time made the bike pretty quick for an 88.

If you want to do cams I have the 21"'s sitting here in my toolbox and will give you a great deal on them. They are gathering dust. The funny thing is I have not gotten into much on the bagger yet motor wise. The engine is completely stock 103 with a power commander, air cleaner and pipes.

I need to figure ou what I want to do to the bagger and get busy. Whatever you choose to do, I am sure you will enjoy it. If money is tight send the stock cylinders out for boring and the stock heads too. I also have an extra set of stock barrels and stock heads should you want to ****** them up super cheap.

Regardless, I miss the FXDXT but it is gone to a good home. Now that my juices are flowing again off to explore options for the new ride.

 

lets be real though, your new scoot is sick as hell also!

 

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO say it isn't so Hogpro wow did not see that coming but in your business I guess the addiction is a little easier to support LOL
I put the tru track on mine as well but I am looking at the new front mount that is coming out, so much cleaner than the TT and I would be able to put the HD oil cooler back the way it is supposed to be

Oh dear.

I thought you were the FXDX-Titan. You loved that ride like, well maybe like Rhett Butler loved Scarlett O'Hara. Bye!
Too bad for me, I thought I had found the never ending wisdom of a guru that was willing to explore, experiment, and explain the making of a t-sport into a legend.
Someone got a great ride no doubt. I never did see the final picture, or the picture of your soft-tail either.

No unlimited funds but my 2001 Bonnie will be up for sale when people start buying here (nobody kicks the tires when it's snowing) so I will have some money that I will absolutely NEED to spend come Spring.

I like this 01 too much. 45 years of riding and this is the one I've been waiting for. Not quite ready for the 95 kit. It will need to be done sooner or later. I wish I had your input when I put in the Hydraulics because I wanted to go gear drive but I wasn't clear on the cam mystery. 21's it will be.

I am going to start thinking about at Tru Tracks per you advice. Need to spend that money somewhere and that seems like a logical next step. I will ask you if you still have parts when I'm ready to bump the cams or do the build and I will keep a keen eye out if you ever start a thread for your bagger.

Congratulations on your new ride and thank you so very much for your thread. You put a lot of time in both the bike and the thread and it was the absolute Bomb.

Gratefully,
Paul

 

fogline the 01 TC88 is perfect for gear drive cams I went with S&S easy start 583 will never need compression releases, the biggest mistake I have made so far was giving up my 40mm CV for the S&S G, there is a guy Dave with Killer Carbs, (on eBay) that I have heard great things about, while the snow is on the ground send him your carb to tune and intake to polish! the 40 CV is a little on the small side for my 103" but should be fine for what you are planning. I agree the 88 was fine for such a light bike, I just had to go big

 

Thanks Dano.
I think I should just save all of my money and move to Florida so I can ride everyday.

 

Yea that is a plan, but summer here gets pretty hot that is why we have so many snow birds LOL

 

close thread , ban the traiter ;D
