Bike back from the shop

Soooo, got the front controls, tallboy seat, RSD Turbine Air Cleaner, and SS V&H exhaust which was not correct. Luckily the dealer is going to order the black pipes as I requested and will make things right.

Overall the bike is completely different, but it a good and bad way. The forward controls are great, but the Air Cleaner digs into my calf like nothing I have ever experienced. I will longer pegs with a brake extension (away from the bike, not forward). Anybody have experience with this?

Also, the Tallboy seat is ugly as sin... but it fits very well and is extremely comfortable compared to the stock seat and the wife approved of the back side.

I also ordered a black HD LED Headlight while I was there, so more pics to come.

your going to pay a dealer to change the seats and pegs?

You must pay the cage dealers to change your wiper blades too!

yea, the seat is fugly to say the least.

Im not paying the dealer anything, as the labor on all my mods has been free. The only reason I had them do the seat and controls is due to the ecu reflash needed for the exhaust and air cleaner.

Any help out there for longer pegs or brake levers that are extended outwards?

btw, if you are talking about the dealer download for the a/c and pipes, unless you are getting that done for free you may want to skip it and get a decent tuner. depending on how far you are going to go with engine mods, there are different variations available. if all you are doing is a/c and pipes and nothing further, take a look at the fuel moto micro tuner....i have one and love it, and the best part is it's under $200. if you plan to do cams or big bore kits, you may want to look at a power vision or thundermax tuner. really think about it though...maybe ride for a bit and read here for a bit. the reason i say that is because when i first got my SB, i swore that i would only do a/c and pipes. the more i read on here and the more you tube videos i watched on how to do cam changes or big bore kits, the more i realized that it would be a cool project when the snow is on the ground. long story short, i thought for sure that i would never do cams, and now i'm shopping around for them!

did some plasti dipping today as well as got the reflectors removed. Looking better, but still cant wait for the correct exhaust. And I am still in a love hate relationship with this seat. If anyone is looking for a stock seat, I have it for sale.
