This all relates to this thread because I will be home a lot to help the wife, but at the same time, I'm gonna to finish all of the mods I've got stashed in the garage simply because we won't be going anywhere for a month or so.

Jacking the bike up and pc'ing the tubes along with a bunch of other stuff, throwing on the shot gun...maybe even have time to meditate on a seat design!!!!

Anyways, welcome to all of the new Lo guys, i agree we should have our own forum. Its gonna be a bitch for me to copy so many pages and boil it down to the meat of the thread, but it's still a goal I have set.
Congrats brotha!

never heard of that myself either.. though if anything use the HD Engine Brightener or the S100 engine cleaner.. they're both pretty much the same product (silicone) with different price tags.

And you paid 177 for it? I only paid 151 and some change for mine.

I use Windex to clean the denim paint. Spilled gas on the paint once. It left a stain and I thought the paint was screwed. Shot some Windex on it, wiped with a microfiber rag and it was good as new.

Default First Mods....

Finally got my first mods finished this past week and I am stoked to finally get started with my customization.

I had the dealer install a SE Pro Stage 3 kit installed, D&D Low Cat exhaust (which are friggin awesome) and an RSD A/C.

I hope to get my bars changed next but got to pay off this round first LOL.

Looking forward to doing more and any suggestions. Thanks guys.

Hey Boys,

Just wanted to share my mod from the weekend.

For those that have swapped the floorboards for forwards... I installed the Arlen Ness 3" extensions... All I can say is WOW. So comfy!

I put them on, Sunday... my only complaint was that I didn't do it Friday (cuz we rode 250 miles on Saturday)

I have a 34" inseam.. if any of you guys have thought about it... DO IT, Do it Now!

M
