No. Nobody else finds a 6 month old thread about someone else's bike and bumps it with a pic of theirs.

It would have made the most sense to post it in the "everything breakout" thread, introduce yourself to the group, and join in the discussion rather than to post the same pic in multiple threads.

Nobody's saying it's not a great looking bike. It's beautiful. You just need to approach this (apparently new to you) internet forum thing a little differently.

+1....plus nobody would write about his/her own bike "That's a bad *** breakout" either

And please......don't post the pic in the "Everything Breakout" thread, AGAIN!

Thanks, yeah I couldn't live with the stock motor.. now it's just right.
you know what they say- there is no replacement for displacement! 117 is a nice size. lots of bang and still very streetable.

for those of you hating the stock 103b motor's seemingly pokey output. I'm gonna bang on the drive ratio drum again. reason your bike feels pokey is the over tall ratio belt pulleys. it's like pedaling off on a bicycle stuck in 3rd gear instead of first. Put a stage1 on it, proper performance tune, set of 30/68 or 30/70 belt pulleys, and you'll be hard pressed to believe it is the same stock motor. you'll probably not want to upgrade cams after that.

I'm not one to over-embellish upgrades beyond what they really give back- in this case, it is a massive night and day positive difference with no downside. Even more so of a benefit with aftermarket cams thrown in and going the full enchilada performance build route.

Anyway, it's something to consider- I like to bang the drum on this a bit because it is a relatively inexpensive big performance upgrade commonly overlooked. Any model of HD produced 2007 or newer will benefit- That was the break year HD added tall final drive ratio pulleys (32/66) to all bikes for EPA compliance reasons, at the full expense of performance. Touring models got to keep a 68 rear pulley due to the added weight of the bike fully loaded. but many of the touring bike owners ditch the front 32 for a 30. You can use your same stock 133t belt which is an added bonus.

Wicked bike! How was the install on the chin spoiler? I saw that you cut pass thru slots in the spoiler. Did you have overheating issues with the regulator or was that to prevent overheating?
