Looking good! How is your setup with the DK a/c and stock exhaust running? Are you using XiEds?

Thanks. I have no complaints so far but then again I've only been able to ride a couple hundred miles so far. Every time it's nice enough to ride we get a blizzard the next day. I'm not runnings xieds but I did find an old post by DKCustoms. I think it was Kevin but whoever it was it did a good job of summarizing the different fuel management options. I'm leaning towards one of the auto tuners now.

I like those zed bars, I am debating between those and friscos. I'm 6'2 so I don't think keystones would be enough rise for me. Did it take some getting used to the narrow grip?

Just put in an order for the zed bars

I noticed you don't have mirrors... did they hit the tank? Any plans for new ones?

Hey I just responded to your PM about the mirrors. You will like the zeds, you are a little taller than I am but I think you will still find the riding position to be comfortable. As far as being narrow, I actually like them that narrow. For my build the zeds put my hands/arms in a very natural position.

Here she sits as of this past weekend. I finally got my double barrel exhaust from Sik Pipes last week and installed them on Saturday. Sound is incredibly wicked and I love the look.

beautiful bike.. lose the tennis shoes however. I have had 7 ankle surgeries. You don't want to go there trust me. Boots , boots, boots. I am impressed your doing all your own work. I love my dyna but seriously am thinking about getting a 48 instead. thanks for posting pics and upgrades.
