Thanks. I'm one of those "void the warranty" types so the agreement with the OL was to pay it off first. Most of the changes are subtle- electronics.

Drag Specialties components.
NAMZ CAM-Bus Controller
Chopper-wiring started

Future plans include:
Signals are non-functioning and leaving in favor of hidden LED strips. Switches are going as well.
La Pera Bare Bones Seat
Foot Clutch and Hand Shifter
Possible fender chop if I can find a spare.

if you change your own oil, in their eyes you voided the warranty. i take my bike to a buddy that owns a shop. 60 an hour is a lot less than the stealership, and i can stand there and watch the work being done

It's one solution
Yep, that's what I ended up having to do. The Harbor Freight lift I bought apparently works fine for non-ABS bikes, but with ABS bikes the compressor mounts to the front shock bolt and the lift couldn't be positioned to give access to both the rear bolts and the area where the compressor needs to fit.

Oh well, took a little more time and I ended up with an extra lift I don't really need, but the Shotgun Shock is on and working well!
