Neighbor Shakers Installed...
Hey y'all,
So I bought a set of Cycle Shack slip ons from a fellow Forum member and installed them last night. After reading a bunch of threads on it and not wrenching for about 15 years, I have to admit I was intimidated. So I sit down to install 'em and look up 15 minutes later and I'm done with no left over parts or anything.
Anywhichwho, I rode a bit last night and on the way home I twisted the throttle a couple times so my wife would hear me. I pulled intomy drive way, twisted a couple time, and low and behold the neighbor I despise comes out onto his porch to see if an airplane had landed in his yard or what.... I'm smiling.
But to be courtious. This morning I walked her down to the curb and started her quietly as possible, riding gently til I got out of the neighborhood. Moral of the story...
1. Don't be skeered to wrench a bit. Oh and the guy I bought 'em from gave me his number (though I didn't have to call him), people are awesome and willing to help.
2. Don't poisen all your neighbors plants for being a dick head to you when you can get him back by simply playing him some sweet harley music...

RE: Neighbor Shakers Installed...
Nope, ain't done anything else yet. We have a baby on the way so my Harley budget is tight and we've had to prioritize. Next is a Sundowner seat. Thought it's not exactly what I want, it'll keep the Old Lady happy. Then new shocks. Saw a post a while back where someone put some big bagger shocks or something like that on their bike. I'm thinking that since I'm widening the look with the sundowner that I'll look into doing something like those big shocks to widen the back end, might keep it a bit "sportie" looking. Then comes some performance upgrade.....
