Custom Dynamics

I contacted d2moto

"Dear Customer,

Unfortunately, we do not have the Integrated Tailight with turn signals for your year and model. we only have the Tailight ONLY (without turn signals) for up to 2011.

Thank you!

D2Moto"

I have a 2012, is there another seller that makes lo-profile brake light?

I would give Customdynamics a call. I believe they have one.

Build quality seems really good so I'm not worried about them coming apart like the Vance and Hines baffles did. Volume wise they are in between stock baffles, and Vance and Hines quiet baffles

Thanks Fatbob. I pulled the trigger on these and can't wait to hear them. Now I just need my pipes and goodies from FuelMoto (coming tomorrow) then I'll be a happy camper. BTW, I sent you a PM about your Phase 7

I added the Harley race tuner and nickel lined sleeves. 660 custom ground cams adjustable push rods, heavy duty lift springs, ported the heads. Haven't put it on the dyno but should be around 130 hp. Not sure on the torque, my buddy has a dyno so that's next.

Default Tank Lift Q

Hows everyone doing... Still trying to catch up.. still half way into the story of Jims rebuild.


I pulled off my badges and I put on the lift.. I did the front and the rear lift.. My hope is adding the rear lift will compensate some for the lift and not equal as much loss of fuel.. Jim do you think it will help?

just a word of warning, i did a 1.5" tank lift on mine, and although it looks awesome, i never knew how much gas i was actually losing as a result of reorienting the tank.. but when i brought my bike in this winter, i ran the tank down until it was sputtering, then when i was removing the tank, i was draining the rest out (because i knew it wasn't 'empty' because of the tank lift', and i still pulled a full gallon of fuel out of the tank. i was getting about 180 miles to the tank when running highway, but that was also down from about 220-230 without the tank lift.

i'm also removing the lift because with my bigger engine, i want every drop of gas back.

Looks good man! get it all tied up and post some good pics. I like the black tips too! How much more black are you going to put on that damn thing?! Haha!

And yea, they are heavy and seem like some seriously high quality pipes!

They are quality, but unfortunately, I hit a little snag tonight. The brackets welded to the mufflers were about 1/2" different from one another. So when I went to mount the right muffler, I could not push the muffler far enough onto the headpipe to get the bolts into the bracket mounted on the frame... Called the company and he had my try a couple things that I had already tried, but asked me to take a picture and said he will send me a new head pipe right away. Basically, the head pipe is a bit too long. I took the heat shield off and am going to take it into work and cut a 1/2" off the head pipe to see if I can get it to fit... It's an annoying quality control issue that surprises me based on the quality of the materials used... But at least the company is really quick to stand behind it and make it right however they can.
