Here's another pic with a nice mjk chain drive set up. I like the crash bar too

Nice man! I know Z06_Andy and roadglidedestroyer114 on Instagram are running the Dan Moto exhaust w/o any real complaint. I haven't seen the Trask set-up yet, I am going to have to take a look. I think the bike you posted up top is one of the Spadafora bikes...they're the same dudes who built the Raceglide.

I did 11" risers and 3" bars....I'm too picky to be locked into a one-piece bar setup lol.
Scored a real cheap 2-1 Pro-Pipe so that'll be going on.
Powdered the wheels and crash bar/blinkers/etc black.
Racetech front springs and Ricor intiminators. Still need rear suspension.
Still has the stretched CVO bags but they don't scrape at all so they'll stay until I can find a cheap set of police bags or 14+ bags for the better hinge setup.

Its coming along, slowly. Trying to not blow a ton of money on it like I did my dyna lol. It has a 103" that dyon'd 113/115 so it goes pretty good. Just wanted to get the suspension and bar setup dialed for myself and some small cosmetics. then RIDE it once all the snow stops falling!

How do you like the front suspension? I have been researching a lot. I cannot drop $5K into the inverted front end, I know a lot of people recommend the Legend, or Ohlins drop-ins...but the Racetech/Ricor was the **** on the dyna side of the house. Just not sure how id would on the bagger. I vote for the police bags...I would love to see those on a RG.

Oh, and post some pics of your bike dammit.
I got my dyno scheduled for 6 April...fingers crossed it pulls what I am hoping for.

Thanks! I really loved that bike, put a lot into it and it did everything from Track Days to long trips..... but my Coast Guard friend loved and wanted it in California so we made a deal and I shipped it out to him.

Had a KTM 950 for a little bit after but now back to HD with the road glide. Really enjoying it so far...Just gotta personalize and dial it in a bit. Built an FXR too....I wish I knew how to attach pics now without photobucket lol.

Haven't ridden with the front suspension yet. Installing this weekend...but still lots of snow here. Another few weeks itll be gone, hopefully. It should work well though....much better than stock and much cheaper than inverted lol.
