Yeah, same here, this was my solution if I wanted a crazy adrenaline rush but it was a death machine so I got rid of it.

Got some really good results from my tune revisions today. Finally nice to get some value out of the PV-2 purchase. Better power, no more decel cracking or loud shift pops.

Here's a shot alongside Mulholland Drive up in the Beverly Hills area. Beautiful day out.

The nice thing is with each engine mod you chose to do, you can always tune it. Still way over my head but I haven't really put any effort into it. Good job brother!

As everyone tells me the bars from Carlini are taller than they say so now I'm stuck.


Can any tell me what the Fat Mini-Apes really measure? Can anyone tell me what a set of 17" Evil apes really measure?


Help!!!

Anybody?

24V what do your 14"'s really measure?

These are 14" from HD. My Avatar shows the riding hand position. They're mounted on low CVO risers.

Default HD Garage opener install

Hi guys, Has anyone installed the HD Garage door opener (91561-01B) on their breakout yet? I've done lots of wrenching on my 02 VRod but never done any work on a Spoftail. I'm curious how difficult it is to install is and if I have the correct pt#? Also, some insight on how well it works?

Thanks in advance,
