Bit the bullet, ordered a custom Danny Gray Weekday 2up XL today, custom stitching and the AirHawk system in both the rider and passenger seating areas.


My buddy says the passenger seat is too big and will ruin the look of the bike.. I just said IDGAF, my girl loves riding on the back and the stock 'seat' was awful.

Default New Parts

I'm in the modding mood!!!
All of these parts are in and ready to install. I just need to find the time to do them.

(1) Big City Thunder QQ Baffle for my V&H Big Radius 2-1.
(2) Avon Cobra 250/40-18 & 120/70-21
(3) Todd's Cycle Gloss Black Strip Handlebars with a 12" rise w/Magnum cable kit.
(4) HD Airflow Handgrips
(5) Bar End Mirrors


Yet to purchase are the 30T & 70T pulleys.
New pegs.
Also need to powdercoat rIsers, speedo housing, fender rails, taillights, and belt guard.

Please post before and after pics. And if not too much of a pain before and after video/sound for the QQ baffles (I am considering the same move). Thanks and ride safe.

I picked up my bike today at the dealer. Last mods for this riding season are completed....

I swapped the stock oil tank for a chromed one, replaced the stock risers with Thunderbike flat risers and 30 mm (1.2 in) riser spacers. Added new derby and timer covers with a custom engraving going along with my paint job and swapped the passenger peg pins for bolts 'cause those heavy chrome pegs tend to move down from vibration....

I see the comment about the footpegs moving downward, but I'm looking at the photos, and hAVE to ask: Exactly where does your passenger SIT on that seat???

For those that have the F-Bomb by Ness/Magnaflow, which tuner did you go with and are you happy with it? I've decided on this exhaust and want to order a tuner that will work with it at the same time. Or are they all the same?
