Default Nice suprise

Upon My Indys recommendation I went with S&S 510 G's on My 08 Ultra, Fuely rollers & high flow oil pump. Can't hear them, fantastic oil pressures, and pulls like a freight train. Before this change, one summer run, I found I didn't have the passing power I desired. Now I do, real happy with them.

Default Surprise


Not sure what cams were used as I was so excited I forgot lol. However itlooks like a Big bore kit was installed. The jugs are S&S etc. and Idiscovered there is a decompression kit with button to aid when starting. Aframe stabilizer kit was also installed.



It looks like I got more than I bargained or paid for. The journey willcontinue.

Usually a surprise on a newly purchased used bike is not a positive. Lucky man.

When I traded in my 2004 Ultra (It was blue), it had cam gears and an EZ clutch..oh, and
an auto primary adjust. (You're welcome....whoever bought it).
