I would love a video of that supercharger as well. I was interested in a procharger on my bike but I like the simplicity of that one, keeps the bike looking clean and doesn't kill my ground clearance.

Installed new HD tribal mirrors, belt guard and speed stick dipstick today. Sun finally came out in Dallas today so I was able to get her out for a little bit.

Smile Right side axle mount license plate bracket

Hi everyone just installed 2into2 big radius V&H pipes on my breakout which seemed to free up a lot of room on the right hand side of the bike, I'm in the market for a axle mount license plate bracket and would like to install it on the right side! Doesn't look like many people do this? Is there a reason for this? If I do this is there much to pulling the axle to install the bracket? Any help or thoughts would be great, thanks!

Interesting info- was doing some tune testing today and found a new good tool. "MyTune" from www.tunemyharley.com - It is $30 and helps tune the VE's to your bike as well as eliminate spark knock. I did some A<>B testing on one of my new tunes and it did just about exactly what I would do manually. except it did it quickly and no fuss.

This may not be news to some of you but wanted to share that I had a good experience with it and it's a good tool for adapting a general tune file to your specific bike. For example, anyone who got one of my tune files can datalog, run the log results through MyTune, and optimize it. Each bike is going to react to a tune file a bit differently. the owner, Frank, is quite responsive and helpful to emails as well.

FWIW-
