How tall are you with the clip ons and forwards controls, I've been thinking about it, but am curious if i could stand to ride longer than across town with them

What happened to the orange and black seat. I do like the new look but your bike was IMO one of the nicest 48's on here already. You must get bored quick.

However, the noise leve itself is relatively of low volume...until you crank the throttle...then they bark impressively.

I've recently fallen in love with the Bobcat pipe myself, looks unbelievable on you bike!! One question though, did you have to purchase a tuner or have the EFI tuned after putting them on with the combination of the air cleaner?

I went with a Thundermax with autotune....

I fell in love with the RSD Cafe seat as soon as I saw it....the other seat I recently sold.

However, this seat will also get the orange accent similiar to what I did with my HD Badlander seat. I'm mulling over several different concepts before it goes to my upholstery guy... SOme people may think I simply change stuff just to change it...but every addition to this project is evaluated for what it will do to the overall lines of the bike (something I 've tried to maintain)...that is why you don't see a tank lift on my 48.

:icon_eating:


Yeah dude! I looked all over, and the cheapest i could find as $100. not exactly breaking the bank, but i honestly figured they'd be cheaper than just regular bars. I'm spending enough money on this damn bike right now, that $70 that I saved can go to.... i'm thinking 1200 kit and SE heavy breather
