2012 Mods

Added a few goodies: Ultimate Big Boy Solo w Rider Backrest (shrtened stock pillion to fit), radio/mps stereo system, VTX1300C mirrors, large parade style flags, additional RAM mounts for toll pass an camera mount.  Still lokking into handlebar risers and better lighting from the headlight.  Purchased SEARS motorcycle lift and PEPSX Motorcycle stand for oil changes, wheel removal, cleaning, etc.  Nuff said...let's ride!

Everything is on and torqued. Now we just have to re-map the fuel injection and modify the intake. When I'm finished it should run like a West Virginia Virgin Surprised.....oops! ...well, it's gonna' run great!

Installing O2 sensors in new pipes. It's important to remain "emissions compliant;" gotta' keep Al Gore happy. I'm using a Craftsman Nascar Signature Series torque wrench that has been calibrated to be dead-on-balls accurate (that's an industry term!).

Cobra Bungee Knobs

The knobs really clean up the look of the bike. It is still a work in progress but I am enjoying doing the work myself.
