Default Sup Folks.

Last couple months, I been working out of town and had to get the bike off the brain. Now my Lo sleeps in a nice cozy blanket for the winter. Maybe on one of my days in, Calgary will get a chinook and wake her up again. Until then I have to get the bike off the brain or else I will end up starting all over with mods haha. I already know what I want to do this spring...finish bling off, center pipes and other small projects including something to do with the seat.

Oh and had a great riding season. Looking forward to next year.

Anyways, cool seeing the regulars helping out the new riders. And of course your mods!

Hope all is well.

Cheers

I work every other weekend so 2 weeks from this coming weekend I start on my mods list. 1st order of business is to get my cholos and get them installed and the reason for that is to see what it entails and to see if I have any extra parts to send out for chrome with the rest of the pieces I already have decided that needs to come off for chroming. Do the cholos come with added pieces to mount the pipes? I then send it out for a new Dyno. When I get the bike back from dyno and get my chrome back the bike gets sent out to get my seat reworked in black and white to match my paint scheme and gel packs installed where my tailbone sits. When the bike comes back from the seat upholsterer I order and put the 16" Gangster apes on capped off with white hand grips to go with my paint scheme and my black and white seat. The majority of time my bike too will be sitting under a heated blanket for the winter as well. I don't mind riding in the cold but my bones do! Getting old blows!

Ya bud everything u need except gasket come with the kit. FYI...I got the torque cones and removable baffles sent also. Turns out after 3 dyno combos...they TQ cones out performed baffles, alone or with. About 8 TQ difference. Matters what you got for engine set up. My 255 cams are meant for low end rpm...I assume thats why.

Sounds like your bike will rock once done. You planning on lowering it? Cholos demand it

Lot of sick bikes I am sure you got to see different looks already. Soon as you pull up to a meet with those cholos...you will get attention. Always a crowd asking about my pipes.
