Cant wait to get mine.. I always thought those chrome lowers really brightened up that left side. Fed ex said the train was delayed in Missouri. Wont deliver till' later next week now Oh well, went back to the 30's here for the next week, they'll be plenty of time to put it on while I'm not ridin'

You guys are lucky, I ordered mine from Phat Performance February 15, and am still waiting for it to be delivered

Initially Phat told me that it would be 4-5 weeks. It 6 plus and counting and still no word. Phat said they were on back order from Baron's and they were sorry. I called Baron's and indeed they were on back order, but due in any day. Can anyone tell me when any day is????

They do look great and I hope to get my chrome fix soon!

Skelitor,

Am I seeing things.

The bike in the sig pic is different than in the pic you posted.

Did you chrome the swingarm 'cause it looks like the left side swingarm is chrome and the right side is black.

But it's looking good!

Your not seeing things Doc.
I added a few items since the sig pic, But I've been busy fighting with this dyna3000, so I havent had much time to change the sig.

I'm gonna post in a new topic I suppose, but since I have ya here, with a Thunder hurricane, Cobra Slash cuts 2 -2 (with Baffels) pipes and jetted to the exhaust, Where the Heck should this dyna be set? I went for 5000Rpm's , 32A , and no retard. but the bike is running like a SLUG! No torque at all, and sounds like its gonna die on idol. WTF!!!


Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

RE Belt guard: I ordered mine from MetricThunder He said end of the month Backorder but it came in 3 days. Yea Bob!

If may be a number of things.

The slash cuts may be robbing you of torque, which will make the bike feel 'slower' off the line.

The carb may not be jetted correctly.

For the Dyna, stay on the A side. Try 34. If you get no detonation then try 36. If you get detonation then back down. You can also use a more aggressive setting if you lean out the carb a bit.
