Evaluation after mods.
Thought I would post my experience and opinion for the sole purpose of wasting time
. Just joking. But maybe this will help someone. Took the bike out for a long ride on Saturday and I was very surprised at the BIG difference in performance. It seemed that as I shifted and hit the gas she just kept climbing and was a pleasant surprise.
My opinion inthe diffence is the Vance and Hines staggered shorts in combo with the Dobeck fuel module. Secondly, I believe between the removal of theold exhaust and the stock controls and brackets I'm about 75lbs lighter. The forward controls are aluminum and weighed much less.I didn't confirm weight but I'll tell you what the box of stock stuff weighs compared to the new parts is quite a bit.
I didn't even do the air cleaner yet and not sure if I will. At least til wifey give me my card back

RE: Evaluation after mods.
You might as well do the air cleaner too, you've already spent the big bucks.
The AC isn't too bad by itself.
This is a great place to waste time.
It's an expensive place to hang out though. LOL
Too many good ideas.
