Default Pipes, tune, rode

So I installed a pair of Rush 1.75" baffled slip ons. Flash tuned the ECM with a Power Vision....And rode. All in under and hour. SCORE!

The fun in personalizing a motorcycle or car is personalizing. If I wanted my bike to look like everyone else's, I would have left it the way I bought it.

There was no way I was going miss a ride in today's glorious weather, so got the NT off the jack stand, disconnected the battery tender, wheeled it out the garage, and when I hit the start button it engaged the starter and then the solenoid started clacking.

Shot over to my local supermarket, Meijer, and got a DieHard for $90 , installed it and went for a great ride.

DieHard are made in the USA by East Penn.

Installed my windshield and wrapped my sissy bar with 550 cord (did not want to powder coat it after I modified it).

Installed my DK 1.5" tank lift. Now I need to paint the tank tabs and the fuel line barbs gloss black so they're not as noticeable/ugly...

Washed the bike this morning for the first time since I bought it in November.

The denim paint just doesn't seem to get dirty... really it was the black handlebars and the headlight that needed a cleaning.

I pulled my cam plate out in order to put cams in this week at work, cut the pushrods, pulled console to get hydro dipped and to check resistance on my fuel level sensor vs resistance at gauge connector. Gotta pull the pump assembly it's stuck at full since ape install. Also adjusted tank fit so I can figure out what size lift I want. Gonna go with 1.5 or 2, decided yesterday 2 kick the hypercharger and get an outlaw 636 from dk. I sat on the bike after words and just smiled when I grabbed the bars, I love the look of my bike from the seat, and I love the feel of the apes, so much to do so little time b4 all the snow is gone

Got some things added to the Fat Boy. I love that Nacelle.

Still wet out side everyday and with temps dipping below freezing not ready to take it out just yet. Can't wait for warner weather.
