Lookin good! Mine should be here in another month. Keep us posted on how the download and IED combination works out.

I lived in Edtn. for many years so I know the feeling of waiting for spring to finally arrive. Maybe it'll be early this year.

Thanks BCguy. The IED's are in. Went down to -19 after being at +7 Saturday. I'll have to wait for the ice in the alley to start melting again.

Took curisers advice and put the IED's in for break-in.

Keep your head up, mine wasn't suppose to be in till March 15, and it's here Feb. 28th. You might get it sooner than you think.

I always hated those freeze/melt cycles in the spring. Friggen ice everywhere! At least you got to ride the bike home and put a few miles on her. Better than nothing.

I got a build date of March 10 with an end March delivery but if it gets here sooner all the better. Weather here right now is cool but reasonable for riding (8-10c) but it can get pretty wet. I've got a 3.5 hour drive back from the dealer in Vic up to CR so I hope it stays decent.

Those IED's sound interesting and I might go that way to start.

Hang tough, spring's a comin'!

Lucky guy... I know all about the Island weather. I always stop in Arrow Custom Cycle when I'm there. Parents live in Duncan. Love running the Island.

Steven Drake HD helped me out in a pinch one time...Good Dealership.
