Default 2008 FXDC Spring Work Done

Spring work done on my '08 FXDC. I bought it back in September, so I only got to put about 1,000 miles on it before it had to go away for the long Maine winter.

Decided to go with the Screamin' Eagle performance intake, Python 2.5" Slash Cut Slip-ons, and a FuelMoto PCIII EFI tuner. After deciding to use the Screamin' Eagle trim ring for the stock air cleaner cover, I had to match the orange on the other side of the bike. Went with NGK Iridium plugs and orange Screamin' Eagle plug wires to add the symmetry I was looking for.

Something about the Willie G. logo really fits my eye, and I decided to run with it. Derby cover, timer cover, front and rear nut covers, brake light visor, valve stem covers, and fuel cap cover.

After putting on the detachable windshield, I noticed that there was an awful glare from the headlight and front turn signals at night. Decided to go with chrome visor bezels on the headlight and the front and rear turn signals. For a comfort upgrade, I went with the magnum Get-A-Grips and like them so far (2 weeks since I installed them).

Still trying to decide on which cams to go with as a mid-summer project. Maybe a compensator upgrade. We'll see where the next mod takes me!
