Not my Dyna, but helped put on a new Mikuni HSR 42, air cleaner and Bassani Lutzka pipe on my pop’s Superglide. Also started pulling the front end apart for the new front suspension, dual brakes and wheels.

Heat cycled pops bike. This Bassani Lutzka sounds nice! Build quality seems good as well. Bled the new calipers on my bike and my brother’s and mounted his 1/4 fairing to the ODC billet brackets.

The pipes are taking on a nice color.

I was going to wash my bike, but it was just too nice out so I went for a ride instead.

My dad got rid of his bike a few years back so I swiped his Craftsman jack and did the "Dyna" mod to it. Cost 10$ in hardware.

Also Plasti-Dipped my horn cover as a little trial & error. I plan to do my fork lowers this week/weekend.

Installed my +3 DK risers and AN bushings.



Things I learned. 1. A 2nd hand helps a ton. 2. watch the wiring harness when tight bolts. 3. I need another 15 fuse LOL

I split two wires when I pinched them under the bolt LOL I fixed the issue but will replace the right side when I get time.

I will say the new bushings made a huge difference no play at all.

Installed the JES wind deflectors. I ordered the raw metal and sanded them, then sprayed with gloss black paint.
Took a quick 75 mph run down the interstate and noticed a huge improvement with buffeting. Yesterday was really windy here is Central Fl so will make a longer test run this week.

Sorry don't know why pics are turned.....
