Infantry, I'm usually not much of a fishtails guy but I must say that what you've done overall makes the look very appealing.

Thanks! The seat was originally an HD Solo. Sent it off to a custom shop and they shaved it into the current seat. Tooled a vintage USMC emblem on nose; Eagle Globe and Anchor on each side; Semper Fidelis on seat lip; and Purple Heart medal and Iwo flag raising on back. Very pleased with his creation!

No cam change. Per Samson’s tech, removed the baffles, added torque cones, and SE air cleaner; Tuned it with HD power commander.
