lol death before rice burner thank you

 

thank you. love the look of your front forks. how does it handle? what are they called?

 

Thanks. They are called fork boots. Or fork gaitors. Breakout tubes are 49mm. Make sure you get the right size for your forks. They are fairly cheap as well. I think those ran me under $30 IIRC. They are mostly cosmetic and provide protection from your tubes being chipped up by rocks. I added thicker fork oil when I had to replace a seal. It made it a little stiffer, but if you want really good handling, look up the sticky for Breakout fork tube upgrades. I plan on doing that in the near future.

 

Have you done the rear drive ratio change? All comments seem to point at that being a good upgrade

 

What is that??

 

Hey man, post up a pic of your bike.

 

Take a look at the Sticky on top of the Softail forum where it says "Drive Ratio Upgrade"!

Can anyone tell me how the front of the Danny Gray pillion is secured since the solo just has one bolt at the rear of it?

 

As mentioned, upgrading your belt pulley drive ratios are the single best performance gain you can do to any stock 2007 and up HD softail / dyna and will give the the BEST performance return for $$ spent. period. it will benefit every aspect of riding whether you are town only, freeway only, a cruiser rider or an aggressive rider. It does not reduce mpg either (only your right wrist does that - heh)

Our bikes are geared way too tall from the factory for EPA and noise reasons. - think as if you were always trying to take off from a stop on a bicycle stuck in 3rd gear. just the fact that you CAN hit 120 in 4th gear fully attests to the bike being way too tall on gearing ratio. go 30/70 on the belt pulleys as outlined in the thread at top of softail forum, tune bike, you won't believe its the same bike. All you are doing is getting the bike back to a pre-2007 proper drive ratio, and undoing the slag of the too tall ratio.

I also recently discovered and proved that the 48h cams are WICKED in the stock 103 motor. it will raise compression (which = added power) but not too much as some have erroneously warned. I am so pleased with the performance of the 48h they are not coming out unless I do a 107" kit- but really, I don't see the need (yet! lol).

But do upgrade the belt pulleys and you probably won't want to do cams after or at least not for some time. And even if you do, then you'll get more out of the cams or other motor work by having an actual proper final drive ratio.

Good luck - Good riding.
