Yup, cup number 3 is doing the trick!

Here goes - the front reflectors are off now and there is an HD flush cap on the tank and she's in my local Indie tomorrow for the HD BeachBar/Motion Pro cable and black PC riser install. I'll do the red Dakota myself when she gets home.

DayMaker to come later in the year when I have a mate coming from the States (Not paying the $850 that HD Bangkok want!!) and maybe a swingarm bag if I can find one that won't fill with water in the rain. I do have a stash tube, but in 2 minds about fitting it. I didn't read the auction properly (!) and it's HUGE! 10" X 2"...

Ok, that's what I came up with 90-100 rpm difference. Thanks for the part# S, in the earlier posts.

Are all Sportster sprockets the same then?

No change to the front sprocket then? Same belt?

Ladog, went in to detail a few pages back. Your better off reading his findings rather than me quoting incorrectly. It is different and requires different length bolts. The part nnumbers are listed too.

Nice ride- I still can't believe that HD can only import / sell the Breakout there with a 96Ci motor. Freaking trade laws... ridiculous

Good news is the 96 is a super reliable motor and with a bit of head work / better cams you'll be able to get a good jump in performance.

Funny you mentioned the rain- I'm from Hawaii originally and yeh everything on my bikes had to account for those sudden tropical downpours. Trying to maintain anything chrome or polished was a futile effort. Also there's no way the SE intake would be good for rainy environments so with your bike I'd probably just put in a higher flowing filter under the stock air cleaner cover.
