And this one I believe is by Dark Parts in Germany. I have to say, I'd love to see more breakouts like this one, simple but really different approach to most break out builds.

Man, that short front fender looks good on the second bike - the black one.

Anyone use one of the flush rear seat plugs? Looking for one of the black metal ones and don't see it anywhere online.
Thx!

I have not seen metal ones. I have a black plastic one from a Sportster. It is part # 761.

Thanks for that V - was on my list of parts to get and saved me having to look it up.


BTW my rear PM wheel came in yesterday, damn nice. now just need to arrange some time to get it installed. PM also provides a special short wheel spacer that fits between the brake caliper arm and wheel hub. but unfortunately you're still stuck with the ugly wide stock spacer on the drive pulley side. some prep and paint on that spacer is a must.

Update on riding with new belt pulleys- I've found that the bike responds very well to increased timing in the off idle and medium to high MAP load areas with the 30T/68T pulleys. Much quicker and no ping, bike pulls a lot harder in all gears. Sort of the same overall effect as doing a mild cam upgrade, as a loose comparative.

Talking about the seat mount plugs, i just found out the other day that the rear pillion comes with a plug for the mount hole. Its located under the seat in a little holder. Its chrome though, but still looks better than an open hole. My first easter egg find on this bike haha

Any reports/reviews appreciated.
See my sticky at the top of the Softail forum- So worth it, IMO probably one of the most significant upgrades you can do on the BO in terms of improving ride quality. You will also want to do the Race Tech 1.0kg springs along with the dampers.

Word of warning, the guys at Ricor can be hard to get hold of. they don't really respond to emails so you'll have to call until you reach someone.
