RE: Winter Upgrades
Wow. I'll start with my Road King - 95" stage 2 and powdercoated engine covers & heat shields.
The Road Glide is a little more involved. High output 103" with TW-7H cams, 10.7-1 pistons, head work,SE valve springs,SERT, heavy breather, andV&H true dual head pipes with Thunderheader slip os. Next is paint using the Candy Red Sunglo as a base and going from there (yeah, Chicago Spike - I've always thought they look like a swoosh too!). 18" PM Torque front wheel and rotors 16" HD chrome solid disc on the rear. Spun aluminum gauges, Hawg Wired, and lots of chrome do-dads. I can't wait!

RE: Winter Upgrades
I'm finally received all my parts for long awaited ape install. 16 in. all braided cables and brake line. New grips, Going with novello extension kit and step by step install thatI pulled off this forum. I've read a couple of posts about two different ape installs where members were having there's done. I on the other hand I'm going to do my install myself, with help from my brothers. I think that doing some work on your scoot yourself, gives youa since of pride in your bike, And just makes you feel damn good doing it yourself. Hopefully I'llhave it done in the next couple weeks. Looking forward not only to the install but riding againwith my new bars........Ride Safe and Often....BearC.Paw.......
