Well the major work on my bagged Lo is finally done. I got the bags put on last night. They look pretty good except for one bag being about a half to 3/4 of an inch farther forward then the other. Not really noticeable unless you look real close so I'll try to leave that alone. I'm really loving the new pipes. I haven't done a leak check yet but I'm not getting a ton of decel pop and no loud bangs so I don't think I have any leaks and the tune from fuel moto seems pretty good so far. It seems like a different bike with the pipes and the seat of the pants dyno says it's got a little more get up and go. I'm also loving the look of the bike without the sissy bar bag on it. Of course it can go right back on if I need it. If someone gets the new RSD gas caps with the low fuel light let me know if your miles to empty counter still works on the odometer. I'm thinking of going that way but I still want my miles remaining thing to work.

So what you're saying is...you're NOT going to buy my BSS's..alright. fine. i get it. jk. Looks good..looks comfortable, if I had a woman who wasn't a dirty pirate hooker, i'd do a similar set up..
On a new topic.. I finally had my bike properly mapped for the PCV. I had been running one of the downloads from DynoJets website, and it was the right motor, right exhaust, but wrong intake, so was too damn rich.. well, now it's correct for the correct set up, and let me tell you..the difference is amazing.. straight off the bat i notice that as soon as I touch the throttle she pulls forward and sends me sliding a bit backwards.. and no more decel popping, and seem to be doing more alright on gas..but i haven't done a mileage check yet.. point being, if you don't have the correct map set up in a PCV.. it's worth the money to have it done. You betcha.

I have to agree on that one. After my tune I noticed what you described. The throttle response was way better. Fuel mileage was a bit better but not a big gain. I still get a small amount of gurgling on decel but it is not bad at all and sound kind of cool.
Hey guys, just thought I would post some new pics since I finished adding for the upcoming riding season. Added blacked out front forks, black billet caps for everything, LED Headlight, Headlight Trim Ring, Various Powder Coated bit and pieces, New Shift Linkage, SEPro II Tuner, Stage 1 program and intake. I love how it has all turned out.

Yeah, I was going to say the same thing. Looks nice and clean.
BTW, you home yet Dave? I assume we'll start seeing pics when you tear into things. Seeing your sig pic makes me want to have a silver one, might have to paint mine some day. I love the silver/black contrast.

Thanks for the compliment! 1 more week! This has been the slowest month of my life. I will definitely have it torn down soon. Expect some pics sometime around the 6th or 7th. The only other color I wish mine was is that Pewter Denim Harley had a while back... maybe when this paint gets all worn out I'll try that out. I plan on having this thing for a looooooooong time...

I know it is more cash out of pocket but have you thought of going and having it put on a dyno for a good tune. I used a canned Fuelmoto map on my Lo with a PCV it ran better then stock then I had the bike dyno tuned and new maps and the bike ran even better.
I just got an email from Dynojet and they suggested that i try the power vision tune for the SE air cleaner and Bassani Pro Street exhaust. They said it should be pretty close to my exhaust/air cleaner setup.
How are all of you keeping the satin chrome clean. My Lo is only 1.5 months old and already the satin chrome on my primary looks like crap. All smudged up with road gunk. No mater what i clean it with i cant get all the smudges off.
