At present I'm nearly there with how I want it But my biggest issues are, I want a Springer & Night Train to add to the stable! I also have in my head exactly how I want them! Dam the forum!
I know the feeling brother! - I want a Deluxe and Road King to go with my Springer. I'm going to end up getting the Road King out necessity, but man those Deluxe's are beautiful!

Nice duals! Can't beat fishtails on a classic.

Looking real nice! I've got to add a Springer one of these days.

Don't forget the reflectors on the rear fender.

As soon as it is warmer, the reflectors are coming off. I have the goo gone waiting for the removal. Gotta be at least 70 outside or I fear i will have a mess on my hands!

Just hit them up with a hair dryer (I used a paint stripper heat gun) and pull some dental floss of fishing string and there will be minimal residue left. I hit it with a little gas on a rag to finish it off. Bikes looking sweet!

Very nice Sprungdave! Love that classic look but how much better does it sound.

Sounds awesome! Deep, much louder, and really gets the dual exhaust chorus going! It sounds like the bike should have sounded. It sounds like a healthy Harley now.

I do think I will have to get a tuner now as the open pipes, I think, may be letting the bike get a little lean at higher RPM. The bike feels quicker, but I can't say for sure if that is just because it sounds so much faster.

We'll have to go for another ride soon. Want to come up this way this time? I can say you will get plenty of opportunity to hear the exhaust if you ride behind me!

Planning on going with Fuel Moto. Of course if I knew someone with a Dynojet Power Vision who was willing to use it to reprogram my ECM and then put it back onto his bike, that would be awesome and free for me! Know anyone like that?
