Replacing the front brake with a Brembo caliper, bigger floating rotor, and bigger master cylinder. Also replacing a leaking shifter shaft seal and adding 3.37 gearing.

Completely satin blacking the Ultra. Im doing all the powder coating and paint myself. Already powder coated a bunch of stuff and am amazed at how great it came out...if you do the required prep work, your powder coat can have professional results...
