RE: "DIY MODS" WAY TO GO :)
I know this is old news but I am trying to decide whats best to beat the heat on my 07 ultra. I am planning on installing fuel management system just trying to decide which one. I have already installed V&H slip ons, oil cooler, stage 1 and syn 3. Helped a little but still hot so I guess I am forced to spend the $$ on a fuel maagement system. Any thoughts on which is best and should I still get aftermarket O2 repalcements are can I leave the OEM ?

Are they so desperate for members over at that site that they'll use spam tactics like yours to try to get people to join?

HEEL TOE SHIFTER MOD
I did this mod to the shifter arms after they kept coming loose.
1. Drill the threads out with 1/4" bit.
2. Go to local hardware and get some longer chrome grade 8 1/4"x20 allen head scews and acorn locking nuts.
3. Use blue locktite on threads of screws and crank down on acorn nut while holding other end with
allen wrench.
With this set up you can squeeze the arms on the shaft a lot tighter.

Air fitting change for Road King shocks
After having problems with my air shocks losing air, I pulled the bags off and checked the fitting and lines. Their was a leak in the cheap-*** plastic line where it goes into the cheap-*** plastic fitting. The dealership wanted around $40 for replacement fitting and I just couldn't pay that for a dollar's worth of plastic B.S. I went to the local hardware store and in the air-tool section I found a twin-pack of air-tank fittings that had the smae thread as the fittings on the shock. 1/8" pipe-thread I believe. I took off the old lines and fittings and replaced them with the individual fittings and it works great. Looks better too. Total cost was about $3 or $4 for the fittings and maybe 15 - 20 minutes. My brother had the same problem with his new RK and did the same thing. His bike sat all winter and when he checked his air-level last weekend it was right where he left it.
