So, yeah, they were supposed to have done the cowbells, but when it came back they weren't done. So that being said, I'll be blacking out the forks and probably the handle bars. Plan on getting the black LED headlamp and tail lamp, but all in good time.

Yea, I am starting to lean it that direction too (sprinkling on the chrome). After this year, I should be done with the exception of springer bags, full exhaust, shotgun shock, 107" kit... Well ****, I will never be done. As for the coil, I just figured that I am relocating it to where the horn resides now, so we will see if I do anything to it after that. Just about 2 more weeks, give or take a few days, and I should be on my way home and done with this damn deployment 
Good timing too, because it is getting alot hairier out here.

Here is the jack and wood idea that I used before the moto jack:
I know, seems pretty obvious but I pics are always better than words. Doing this you can jack the front up and then add the blocks, or leave it on the jack. In either case, its a one man job.
Thanks Bill! I am trying to get back as soon as possible man. The wife is already mad enough that I got extended out here; I was originally supposed to be leaving today. But once I get home I am seriously going to ride the bike once for a few hours just so I can get the feel again (should help me gauge if the go-fast mods will make it go vroom-vroom more), let it cool down and then tear it down to nothing. There are of course other things that will be done that do not involve the bike, but that is none of yall's business

I know the HD instructions say that after installing my SE Ventillator breather I need an ECM calibration or I could seriously damage the engine on my '10 lo.
Does anyone know if I can install it at home then drive it to the dealer 1hr away without hurting my engine?

Hah, ok, I may, or may not follow through with things in that order. In reality, I will actually probably completely forget that I even own a bike right when I get home.

The general arm chair tuner advice around here is "change A/C or exhaust, no tune needed, change both and get a tune". I can tell you from being deep in the ECM myself, these should be tuned the day you buy it. They run lean and hot for EPA compliance and the greenies. Nothing wrong with that I guess, but there is a lot more power to be had even in stock form, and a bit of cooling to go along with it.
Looks bad a$$ man I'm doing the same thing with mine getting the necelle and have that and lowers p'c denium black
