I think of something better after my can of tuna.

 

must get your mangina warmed up...

 

Im not the one with a daisy yellow bike!

 

Hijack alert....

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.

Ok, back to the regularly schedule program......

The rear is dropped probably 3 inches....it is as far as the bolts will allow and is essentially a hard tail.

An aggressive rider will rub all over the place....no doubt about it.

That's why I have an air ride set up on the way.

 

What about the front height? What's the air ride costing you? Is it the one with the optional remote... (forget the brand name...) ?

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.

The front is lowered about 2 1/2 inches.

 

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..

 

jealous!!!

 

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.
