Default New Bike, New Motor... whoopie for me!

Here it is. Haven't even took it for a ride as it's windy as Hell and spitting snow. So, sounds like a perfect time to start modding. I left it at HD, they're starting to put the 1200 kit in it with the high perf SE cam. Python 2 into 1, and Forcewinder ordered and ETA of about a week. Progressive 11"ers on the way too, but those I'll do myself once it's in my garage. [sm=bounceybounce.gif]

Thanks, heading to HD now to buy some parts. Hmmm... I'm thinking SE wires, a headlamp trim ring, finned headbolt covers, tank console, license plate frame, and maybe some painted oil tank covers...

Sounds like like a good plan but if i was you i would get the SE plugs to go with the wire's and get the custom chrome lay down licence plate mount that looks great on the bike's and if you really want to splurg get the SE carb top it is only 26$ and it looks so dang sweet BTW love the bike and color keep up the planing and work.

Thanks! I'm right on your track. The SE Plugs are being put in when they do the conversion, and the laydown mount is the one I'm going with. I'm going to wait and see what the carb looks like w/ the Forcewinder on before going forward, but thanks for the good suggestion, I'll probably end up doing that.

Nice looking bike. With the 1200 kit it'll be really fast. Tim
