I Broke her down to install cams but the new tensioner shoes didn't make it in the mail. So I'll wait till next week to finish. Adding S&S 583 CE cams and replacing the hex bolts with stainless from Alloyboltz. God I hate removing and installing the exhaust...ugh.

I removed the luggage rack and removed the paint protector sticker...used a heat gun and it helped get it off. Will go to hardware store to find plugs for the three holes.

Bike is 2010 Deluxe.

pulled the windshield and bags, washed all those spots impossible to reach with them in place, and took a nice ride in the country.

Finished installing a set of Wood’s 222 cams and put the short pipe back on. Bike feels quicker, I’m happy.

It looks very neat, where did you get those brackets from to hold the brake cable?

Ordered SE Cannon slip ons for my 18’ Deluxe. Dealer had a special on a free install w/ the purchase of mufflers, and I had a $250 store credit. It’s still too cold here for me to ride, and the special ended on 1/31, so I figured what the hell.

My bad, haven’t changed my profile information since moving. Yesterday’s ride was in Central Virginia, this morning, sipping coffee and watching the rain come down.

Thanks, I purchased them direct from Harley. If I remember right, I had to purchase two because they don’t come in a kit.
