Default I went a little crazy......

Well, Christmas was really good. My wife bought me a V&H Tracker exhaust, and a BDL open primary drive, which is awesome. Those were the only mods I was planning this winter, but the wheels started turning, and as they turned I became a little crazy, temporary insanity, is what I am claiming, since I added more stuff. I have now bought Wild 1 Chubby Beach bars, transmission and cam covers, a springer seat(Thanks Ricky!) a detachable sissy bar, a motorcycle table, and am thinking seriously about a new air cleaner, and finding a way to add a shotgun shock. Future mods are blacking out the front end and adding a freight train nacelle, and possibly changing wheels. I have read about you guys getting bit by the mod bug, and did not think it would happen to me. I was wrong.


added the RSD Tracker last night......more to come.

Thats how I am bro, I get one or two things and then im like damn I need that to compliment what I just put on. Im bad bad bad about "having to have" parts which are by custom shops that I "think" might either go out of business or not offer in the future when im ready to buy lol. Hence my recent floorboard purchase...Its a sickness bro, no cure...

Follow the instructions for the BDL install. You must apply RED loctite as specified in the instructions.

Here's a good video on an install:

I saw the video and know that I need loctite on that, and most mechanicals, but I am wondering about using it (blue) loctite on every nut and bolt. Thanks, for posting!

Since i'm doing the same thing now myself I use blue on very little, but that's just me. I have used red on just about every nut and bolt with no issue's.

I hope to see some pics of yours once it is installed, it will probably be another week before I install mine.....I'm waiting on the table to show up first. It seems like it will be easier, then.
