Congratulations,
But, and it’s only a suggestion.
Loose the Hypercharger or at least the blue insert.
( They have chrome ones)

Welcome to the nightmare. I'm a Pan and Shovel guy myself currently riding a 93 FLSTC. I don't think I had as much aggravation with my '77 FXS that I owned for 36 years than I've had with this evo I've had for two and a half years. It is clear to me that the Evolution was NOT the solution!

I've owned a new shovel and a new Evo, as well as a new twincam and still have my Evo. Says it all.....

You got me there.? The blue insert is actually part of the light effects package. Why lose it and keep Hypercharger? Not that sold on Hypercharger. I have a spare S&S on the shelf. I thought about switching the tear drop air cleaner.
