Bretheren,

Look'in to do a few tweaks when the taxman gives me back my money so I need some imput from you guys.

First change is to pull the RK Highbars I replaced the stock with andinstall someChubby 502s. Gotta get rid of them wires. From read'in, I know I need +8 on clutch, +6 on throttle/idle and brake. What about wiring; what gauge and +?, and I know to stagger & shrink the splices.

Next is I'm swapping out the widewhites with blackwalls. I'll replace pads with some Lyndalls Zs while I got wheels pulled. Do wanna replace stock laced spokes with something tubeless though. Thoughts, pics? Would like to keep laced spokes with a tubeless. Hogpro? Require different spacers, etc.?

Last is cams. Worth it? Educate me on a good swap for a 96", RH TDs, AN BS. Also I guess I should replace tensioner with a gear drive while at it. I know with adjustable PRods wouldn't have to pull rocker box, right? Pretty simple mod? School me.

Figure this threads gotta be better than some of our slow "winter" read'in lately.

Ezz
