I'd say TRASK is top notch. Trash is, well, trash.

I got the fender installed, new battery, replaced stator due to oil leak, washed her, and took her for the first ride. NICE. A bit loud, but once the turbo arrives, I imagine that will quiet it down a bit.

A bit irritated at this point. Trask told me it would be 3-4 weeks, vs the general 2-3 weeks due to the custom bend. Fine. At 6 weeks I called to inquire and was told it would be shipped by the end of the week or early week 7. Ok. Then I call yesterday and am told it is still at coat and won't ship until next week, week 9! Needless to say, I lost it over that. I have been patient long enough. They claim it will now be here Monday. It better be or I may call the credit card and dispute the charge. Just ridiculous! I had two other companies and I went with the USA one to support our own, and they have pretty much screwed me over. Very disappointing thus far. Hopefully there is a happier ending.
Since I am waiting a few more days, I ordered a slipper clutch to upgrade the 07 clutch.

Looking good nice install!!
I forgot to answer your question about where I got my crash bar? It is a Harley part and I got it off eBay! I notice there is several after market ones on there now New for under $100.

Had to make some minor mods to make it fit because it isnt designed to fit with the HD rad cover for the CVO vrods but it wasn't hard and didn't require rechroming.

Thanks. I bought a set of the 's style bars. I'll figure out a way to mod them.

Having some tuning issues and it looks like it is due to bad TPS. Going to pick one up tomorrow. In the mean time I am installing new stereo system and daymaker headlights. License plate finally came in today.
