Re:winter upgrades 2 Months, 1 Week ago  
I've just put on studded two up Mustang seats, installed rear Kury floorboards, and flipped brackets to move forward and lower, and also installed HD touring highway bar with lower fairings. Hope to have the RSV saddlebag brackets finished and mounted by next weekend, then mount RSV bags, and RSV trailer hitch. I have a new HD King tour trunk to install, but need to have the RSV brackets and bags finished first, because I am going to mount the trunk with the HD Detachable kit, and will have to alter to fit RSV brackets. Hopefully these things will be finished before winter. This winter I want to install a 31 tooth front pully, and beef up clutch with Barnett conversion kit. I also need to get a set of Wind Whippers, and front Kury floorboard covers to match rear. Oh yea, I really would like to get a set of HogTunes lower fairing speakers to go with speaker pods on tour trunk.

Beside a 31 tooth pulley, Dyna 3000 ignition, and Mr.C's universal K&N air filter... I've just now won on eBay new stainless steel braided clutch and throttle cables for a decent price!

This just might be my best Winter ever!!!

Re:winter upgrades 2 Months, 1 Week ago  
This afternoon I removed my fuel shut-off and cut the primary fuel feed down 1/2", since I had previously removed the pump, so as to get that last gallon back... and I installed my Dyna 3000 ignition module.

I'm pretty certain I can tell a difference... that Dyna, set with 34 degrees of advance, and moving the limiter up to 5,000 rpm really wakes the beast up in her.

There were a few occasions in the past where I was passing and hit that stock rev limiter at 4,250 and was aggravated that I had to upshift so "soon".

So, I've still got a 31 tooth pulley and Mr.C's universal K&N filter to install in place of my K&N filter in an opened up stock box.

I am liking this bike more and more!

Hey eirinn,

Nice helmet, but doesn't that chain mail flap in the wind and beat you all up?

I use it only around town, so it isn't a big issue, and it is more vintage than the same old nazi-helmet
