Default RE: This is my Train..

While my bike is in the shop getting oil leaks fixed! I just ordered the wild 1 springer dragster bars hope they look good installed! My wife did not want me to touch my bike because of the stockness (c.v.o.se.springer softail.)of it but I feel like i have to make it my own. Next will be Vance and Hines 2-1 Exhaust and 90' velocity stacksignature to the 2008 cvo se springer with badge and all! Although my bike is 2007 I have to have the 08 air cleaner off the C.V.O.SE. Springer Softail they look sweet!!! But my wife dosent know about the 2-1 exhaust or the air cleaner. I feel the Mrs. is looking over my shoulder so good luck in your customizing.

Thanks for the props, people! [8D]
I have been looking into tank panels lately, carpetride... funny you should mention that~
Yup, crock, those are the V&H Big Radius pipes~ I really like the way they fit this particular bike~ They sound great too, but sometimes I wish they didn't bark so loud~ [&:]
My son like those big tire kits also, lejj~ I think the 200 fitsthe Train just fine myself~ I wouldn't take it any bigger.. but that's just me~ I came off a Hayabusa, with a 190 rear tire,before I gotmy Train and find the 200wide enough for appearance and still cornerable without much difficulty~ It's the skinny **** 21" front that bothers me some... I tend to lean into corners, old habit after riding sportbikes for the past 6 years~
oh yeah.... the Mrs is always looking over my shoulder too, detonater~ That, and the fact I'm just po white trash, is one of the reasons I'm moving so slow on it~ Everytime I find something else I want to ad or change she gives me the "I thought you just wanted to do this and that..." speech... or I just get 'the look'~ The look will keep me locked in my garage for days!!

Well I guess the look is better than gettin beat with a sock with a bar of soap in it! I finally had to spring for a light for the dog house sense i spend so much time there. Oh yes home away from home some times the dog huse is a little cooler than the single wide trailor! He! He!

Oh my God, I love those pipes.
I've been telling myself for a long time thatI'll wait and do it this winter,
but hell man, it's never winter in Texas. So I'm going to pull the trigger this week.

Thanks a lot Blue Dragon,
you just cost me about 1,000 bucks, [sm=smiley19.gif]
considering I have to redo the intake and remap the electronics too.
