I should say I'm psyco about AFR ever since I blew up my first 883-1200 conversion. It wasn't the 88" one, this was before that build. I just threw a 170 main in the CV40 and hit the interstate. One long uphill with a headwind and all of a sudden, power just fades and oil starts spewing out the breathers... Live and learn.

Yeah, on a performance motor it's nice to know where the AFR is.. I've been using a Wego for several years now. Light tip in cruise, 14-14.4... Hard acceleration and hi rpm, 13-13.6. Piece of mind....
Slow and steady on the bike this weekend. I got a set of I dunno what bars but they look cool on ebay, I decided to keep it clean and run the wiring internal. No holes, I'll make em':
Yes, I sanded down the burrs before running the wire...
I also bobbed the front fender. I didn't like all the holes from the Electra Glide trim, and I've always thought the fenders were too large.
I also completely rebuilt the brakes too. Since I got that replacement caliper I took the front system COMPLETELY apart (pistons out, seals cleaned, gunk scrubbed off, lines cleaned out, etc...). Put it all back together with Dot 5. Didn't take any pics though, after all, we've all got Evo's. Chances are y'all have been thru the brakes on em' before.
