One thing for sure she is really blinged out. I guess you can't take it with you.

If you can afford it and want it, buy it.

Your ride, make it the way you want.

I'd really like to see some pics of what you've done. Which Cams did you use? What does your Dyno look like?

Thanks,

I did my winter mods in October, now I'm going crazy with the snow on the ground.
Maybe I'll do the 103 or 110 now that actual winter is here.
P.S. just got the Arc amp and speakers from firecap501
I'm I going craz or what!

Real nice looking bike! I'd check with some of the guys here about the 103, 110, etc... when I was "shopping" I got some great advice on engine builds. I opted to go outside the moco for much of the build. Yes, I did blow my engine warranty, but frankly it has not mattered. Of course I did not buy an extended warranty-- There was one recall and a local dealer took care of it no problem. I'm about to change the cams again and now do some work down below. There are a few guys here who are incredibly knowledgable on builds, etc. Put the post out there and I'm sure they will answer.

Couldn't we address the same to Anniversary models?
I would be afraid to modify such a piece of art.
Anniversary model owners correct me if I am wrong
