ridge for internal circle clip (13) is now visible
internal circle clip (13) inserted into ridge
dust seal (12) added
6mm torx screw (18) and washer (17) lightly screwed into bottom of fork, throt damper sleeve and into damper. used the progressive spring to apply pressure to the damper from inside the tube to keep it from spinning while i was installing crew (18) and washer (17)
progressive spring in tube...
progressive washer on spring
uncut progressive pvc spacer (no cutting for my 2007 xlcn)
back up on lift... to fix the lines and got fed up with the mismatched sliders... sanded and polished the RH slider to mirror finish like the LH slider.
adjusted lines. corrected master cylinder to tee line. transposed the left and right front brake lines.
***see that shine?! those sliders are NOT chrome... that is stock+elbow grease! hot damn!*****
done. 10x easier than anything i've ever done to my sporty.
they are NASTY! they are LOUD. ignorant loud. i love them. no question. even considering them for my other bike.
i posted vids below with sound. there are very few vids with sound out there... the vids don't do the sound justice. rumbling like thunder, bass, and raspy. insane
i was going to do chrome heat shields, called vance and hines 4 times and they just couldn't find a price for the shields and never returned my calls... sad but, true had to email corporate, $169 for rear and $192... 360+? that's almost half the price of the pipes. nope
(-)been a pain in the *** to tune. power vision reads 99 in tps[1][1000] and tps[1][1500] on every run, even if the bike is just idling.
(-) shakes my rear brake pedal and it taps my foot varies based on year as the rear master cylinder moved on newer bikes
(-) pipes sit out higher and farther from bike
(-) blocks passenger pegs... no issue for me, have none and never will
(-/+)low end torque has rolled out {gone}, bike now likes to be in higher revs, and is twitchy in lower revs.
(+)but, the loud pipes save lives is hella true with these things. cars way ahead are reacting to the sound (not merging or aborting merge)
(+) looks great, shows off freshly powdered and polished rear pully/sprocket and chrome guards
v&h grenades:
first run/fire up... bad... untuned, smoke is anti-seize on the o2 plugs and first run pipe goodness (normal):
scope creep went from a second rotor to new pipes, alarm, rear brakes, yeti campus stories, clutch cables, sand paper, polish, and now a plate relocation.
used auto interior trim plugs from the auto parts store (o'reillys @ $2.29) to fill the holes until i find a better solution that isn't tacky like most of the skull/cliche/triangle crap out there.
done. will have to swap out the tail light for a non-windowed unit since the plate is no longer there. scope keeps creeping
Problems:
because the relo kit added more distance between the inside of the fender and the LH side, i had get longer bolts from ace hardware to continue using my quick detach hardware.
since i replaced the left side, replaced the right. painted the caps with nail pol... the vivid black touch up kit from my wide glide. huh?http://www.harley-davidson.com/app-c...ts/-J04703.PDF
