Default Guy from IL.

Been looking on this site for years,so I finally got time to register.I ride a 2004 Road King Custom.I just painted it last summer.Took me a week to do it.I installed the Edelbrock 95" big bore kit,roller rockers and a gear drive.Bub #7 true duals w/ cross over pipe and Supertrapp mufflers.Awsome sound from those pipe.Sound better than Rineharts.Installed a Bandit clutch by Rev Tech and replaced the stock ring gear with a 66T.Plus all the chrome dude dads.Dynoed at 102hp/97ft.lbs of torque.6 speed gear set is next.When the motor wears out,the next move is an S&S 124 ci motor.No horsin' around.
