From all the modifications you have done to your bikes what would you say would be the best mod in each category? I am kind of curious what impacted you the most. I have listed mine below. I ride 09 Heritage Classic
Best mechanical mod: Barnett clutch disks
The clutch kit completely changed my ride. So much that it still blows my mind. I never realized how much the factory clutch slipped. For $160. it is top of the list for me
Runner up is Baker attitude adjuster. In all honesty this should probably be number 1 because I truly feel had I left the auto adjuster in it was only a matter of time before ipb failure and clutch wouldn't be doing me any good at that point.
Best appearance mod: Diamond cut Fat Spoke wheels 21"F 16"R
Man this was a toss up. I love the bars I installed but the wheels, the wheels are sweet. I was trying to ball on a budget and went with DNA hoping for the best. Unfortunately the chrome on the front wheel is peeling and will need to be redone but I still say wheels made the biggest difference on looks to me.
Almost impossible to answer for me.. but if I "had" to pick two.
mechanical: Legend Air Ride (which is also appearance when It's slamed)
appearance: Carlini 16" Menace Apes (which was also mechanical, improved the over all riding experience)
That's on the Breakout..
First my bike is a 2010 deluxe.
I would say my 103 kit with heads and cams along with the pro pipe is nice. I do really like my hydraulic clutch though.
For appearance it would have to be the sinister billet daddy wheels, 18 front, 16 rear. I get asked about them all the time. Oh and I can't forget about the suspension, SS and mono tubes.
