Thanks Joe,
Got lots of work left to do. I think you might end up with that piece of chit backing plate to see what you can do with it. Didn't think I would miss the Forcewinder but that backing plate allowed me to run some cool RSD breathers. With the nitrous backing plate I'm fubared.

"I saw some pics of German that had black springs and they were sweet. I'm still trying to find a better damper. I've been looking at fox shox and I've emailed them to see if they could help me out with a product."

Check these out.

Dakota digital. It is the nicest gauge out there in my opinion. At Sturgis this year the booth for Dakota had a Crossbones and it had that gauge. My ol lady bought it for me right there cause it looks so good.

Brett,
I have a worx shock but because of my lowering kit on the front end it doesn't fit.

Exhaust is on, NADS electrical hooked up, horn is relocated, bottle mounted, new grips, air cleaner from Joker machine. Bigger injectors, Got the NOS hose measured out. Have to take the bottle brackets and arming switch off. Going to polish the arming switch then take it and the brackets to be etched. Need a few odds and ends but it's coming together. I like the air cleaner and cover over my Forcewinder. Need a new clutch cable it's probably 2" too short. I have to give all the credit of the labour to my Indy. By the looks of these pics ill have to giver a good bath when my bikes finally home. Found a good deal on an electric fireplace for the garage on the weekend. That's where we watch the fights.
