Stage 1 will consist of Bassani 2:1 exhaust, Figure Machine intake in blonde finish, and PV2 tuner with auto tune. I have a removable back rest and rack to put on yet as well as a removable passenger touring seat. These will only be on when needed. Rear signals will be gone, I am waiting for low profile LED tail light with integrated signals to arrive. Smoked out front signals. Not sure about bars yet, I like Wild1 bars as they are nicely finished. Lay down HogRida plate holder is installed already. Also a few other parts and pieces as seen fit.

Still not sure about cams, I put SE255 into my 96ci and it went like a bat out of hell, but not sure what will be a good match with the 103ci. Still lots of research to be done on that.

There are a lot of nice bikes here that give me great ideas. I fear this is going to cost me big buck$!

I know this oh too well! Not my first Rodeo, doubt it will be the last.

The key is to slowly pay as you go...

It's only money and you can't have near as much fun riding a big bucket of cash as that Lo's gonna be.

That's no fun. Winter is on it's way, blast it down to the bare frame, blow the credit cards up and go full custom on that beast. We will be expecting a finished product by March.

Oh....yea....
Welcome, nice bike

I have a question about removing the passenger pegs. The service manual says to remove the retaining ring and clevis pin, pull the foot rest and spring washer from the support. My question is after removing the peg, is there still going to be the bracket or part of it sticking out? Do I need to remove that entire bracket from the frame for a completely clean look? Thanks.

Thanks,
I am Lucky to have a new bike and be above ground to ride again.
I wrote my Street Bob off in July.
I found enough cash to start all over again with a new ride.
Getting the bike was the big part, doing the mods slowly is my enjoyment!
I now get to learn the workings of a Softail!

After you take the peg off there is a torx bolt holding the bracket to the frame. You have to pull the peg to access that bolt inside the bracket.
