After the first season with 155" had to make some lean clearance on the right side,redo the exhaust and lift the footboard.Make up a couple intermediate jets to finish dailing in the motor.Then wait out the winter.

Heat Demons & ISO grips, IDS, shift linkage, and hopefully a chrome front end with embossed flame cow bells. I've got everything including the cow bells already. hopefully I can spring for the chrome lowers before rollout in the spring.
