I haven't done any winter mods on my Softie since I bought it 4 years ago. It pretty much had everything done to it already when I got it. The only thing I've done is change out the cam bearing, and up the jet size in the carby. I pretty much love this bike the way it is. Tomorow it is suppose to warm up to 57 deg., so I am going for a ride.

I made great progress but not done yet. I put up a white board with all the projects and it has 60% erased off.
I have two Cobra programmers to install, a set of tires, three Xied's to install, preload spacers for the Dyna, finish sanding a fender project and port and rejet the Ural.
Once that is done nothing more will need to be done to the bikes. Really, I am finished with what I will do to them. Absolutely. I can't think of any more to do.
No! I really don't think that I need cams.

I blew all my extra cash the first year I got my bike. Only mod I did this year was adding the digital speedo/analog tach combo. I'm itching to try it out if we'd get a few good rains to wash the salt away.

Almost done. Waiting for a PCV from Fuel Moto and that will do it. So far mostly cosmetic stuff. Seat mod from Mean City Cycles, HD shift linkage cover, HD round nostalga air cleaner cover, new battery, Brukus saddlebag secures, about $800 worth, which is more than my wife says she can afford. LOL! Suppose to be 65 degrees here Saturday so I guess I better take them both out for a RIDE!!
