Hammer02, how many inches did you drop the rear? Is it an air ride? I'm a aggressive rider and can drag the jiffy stand with the stock ride height. I would love the drop the rear but afraid that I will bevel the side of primary.
I don't know if it has an optional remote or not....I think it does but I didn't order one.
What I ordered was a Platinum Air Bleed/Feed set up. Of all the kits discussed on the board that seems to be the one with by far the most fans....so I went with that. It was 1250 bucks to my door.
I opted for the chrome SE back plate and a chrome HD bow tie air cleaner cover w/skull insert that covers a direct replacement SE air filter a K&N HD-0800. There are 4 holes in the cover which shows the K&N well ok only the front and back you can see through. Provides a lot of breathing area and a bit of show-off. I like it, happy with it. I was seriously thinking about the hyper charger but every bike I sat on with one made my knee lay against it... not for me..
No complaints with my Hypercharger, wrinkle black on my Bleck Denim Train looks sharp IMO. I personally decided to go with what I thought would look good and provide adequate air flow. I've heard the "not the best for performance" argument, but if performance was priority #1, I would have spent half what I paid for my HD and bought a new Kawasaki ZX-14, which will beat the non-street legal VRXSE and probably 99.9% of modded HD's on the road.
As it is though, I bought a HD because I wanted to be comfortable getting to where I'm going and look good doing it, as opposed to riding 400 pounds of plastic dressed like a power ranger. To that end, I buy what I think "fits" my image of what I want the bike to be, and leave the quarter mile times to the guys on plastic.
