Well, it's winter and I am playing with mods on the bike. I need a couple of parts though... I did post this in the "looking for..." section, but want to maximize my chances of getting the pieces I am looking for.
I'm looking for a high air flow air cleaner assembly including the backing plates and cover. I want to stay away from open filter unless it comes with the weather sock as I do a lot of riding in adverse conditions. I also want to stay away from any of these spike style force airs - I just don't like them. Hopefully someone out there has a S/E kit or a Mo-Flo or something they are looking to part with.
I am also looking for a set of progressive fork springs for the bike (06' XL1200C) if anyone has a set kicking around in the garage.
Putting a set of Porker Switchblades on, a set of 14" apes, air shocks on the rear, A/C, the progressive fork springs, and a 5% triple tree conversion if I can find one...
A lot of us run the Ness big sucker both open and covered. Its a good performing AC and is washable. I've had one for a couple years an still running the same filter after almost 20k miles and just wash/re-oil it. There is a guy over on www.xlforum.net selling a new one in the classifieds for $85 shipped so you would just need to buy a round cover. I picked up mine originally from www.easternperformance.com for $100.
I will probably get a round cover for it this year as riding in rain or dirty conditions requires more cleaning and is a problem if caught in a downpour.
