What were you doing to the bike that you had to remove the tank?

@ murderface

Love the shorts on your sled. I have searched you tube for videos so I can hear what they sound like, but it is nothing like in person I am sure (even when I turn the bass all the way up). I'm getting the same on mine, I just hope it sounds better than the hippie kid across the street on his moped...and leathers, WTF.

This is the rear D407 tire's verbage... http://www.dunlopmotorcycle.com/tire...ire.asp?id=107 (front's site is http://www.dunlopmotorcycle.com/tire...ire.asp?id=111)
  • The new D407 tire is made for 2009 FL touring models, and therear tires feature Dunlop’s advanced MT Multi-Tread technology.
  • MT Multi-Tread rear tire incorporates a tough tread compound in the center that runs cooler to provide stability, excellent traction under braking and long life, and to each side is a section of lateral-grip compound that enhances traction at higher lean angles for great grip while cornering.
  • Reinforced multi-layer tire carcass gives the tire maximum strength for long life and provides great handling at all speeds and lean angles.
  • Bold, angled lateral grooves in the tread pattern evacuate water from the contact patch on wet roads.
  • Developed and tested jointly by Dunlop and Harley-Davidson engineers in the lab and on the road.
Also, here are a few pics of the bike. The tank is not on yet, so it looks a little odd.

Bike looks sick man! I really thought hard about getting the BRs but I just couldn't drop that much cash at once.

Not an ape or highway bar guy, but those look great together. Really like 'em. Have you had the chance to get it out since the LED headlight install? If so, hows the difference in night rides?

The BR bars are some nice ones, but just to radical for my scoot. I know he has some more traditional designs, but that wouldn't warrant the hefty price tag IMO.

I was thinking about adding some red where the brushed chrome look was before; however, the difference in blacks seems to have enough contrast to me.

Whatcha think?
