The money's all gone.  That's why I gotta stay home and work while Terrie goes down to the southwest GTG in a couple weeks.

The things we do for our ladies...But I know you love her and love it so it is all worth it!

No mods for awhile now.  Is there anything that I've missed or forgotten?

How about some performance exhaust, header pipes and mufflers. Maybe Vance&Hines power duals with their Hi Output slip ons. Just a thought. I know you do your research and buy the best stuff, so just waiting to see what you change to.

My exhaust mods are buried in this thread, someplace.  I'm not a fan of any V&H products.....based on my previous experiences and others.  A header with the cat removed and Fullsac baffles suits me fine......anything else is a waste of money.

I have been reading through this thread for an hour, and haven't found the answer to the question asked about the flames pinstripping on the KTP, did it come that way?   BTW your mods have helped with keeping my wallet empty I have been borrowing a few of your ideas, keep up the great work

I have the same KTP..and yes..the flames come that way from the MoCo.

JCZ ,
Trying to come up with handlebar replacement.  Question for you is on the Flanders and Wild 1 web sites they list the Streetglide bars as the following and this is what I come up with measuring my stock bars:

FLHX/I/SE Street Glide / CVO 2006 - 2010   rise- 7-1/2" width -31" pull back 12-1/2" center -11-1/2"  clamp area - 2-1/2" x 4-1/2"

When I go to the specs on the Harley site for your replacement bars the specs seem the same as above for rise and pullback .( except it seems to me HD has the rise and Pull Back switched in the chart since they claim the rise is 12.5 and the pull back is 7.5.
 
56176-08 width - 30.75" base width 15.25" pullback -7.50" knurl -3.50" rise -12.25"

Can you tell what the real specs are on your replacement bars?  My dealer has said that the touring pull back bars will give me 2" closer but no addition height.

Thanks in advance.
Dave

Hi JCZ

Went against my word to keep away from this post.

How come you went with the pull back bars - i read that you stand 6'4".  Did the corbin set you back in the seat?  I'm looking to change my bars and looks as though you know may have insight on this matter.

Cheers

ooh... no.. Lastdegree... This is a baaad place!

Mal I know - and I think that everyone else know's except for my squeeze Max who as yet does not know.  Max still thinks the bike cost the same as a new VW golf

The HD Touring pullback bars that my wife and I both have are 2" up and 2" back, as the catalog and the MoCo web site both say.  The catalog and web site says they're polished stainless steel but they're not.......they're  chrome plated, just like our stock bars.

They're definately 2" taller.....that's why the catalog says they can't be used with fairing mounted mirrors.  My wife uses them with fairing mounted mirrors, she just has them pulled back (down) a little more than I do.   http://www.cvoharley.com/smf/index.php?topic=32927.msg681464#msg681464

I didn't have any intentions of changing my bars......they weren't an issue for me.  But after my wife changed hers and I rode her bike I thought......man, this is really very, very comfortable riding in this position.  So, I changed mine also.  Just a much more relaxed position rather than arms extended all the time.  The Cobin seat does move you back an inch or so (uness you get the close reach seat) so it all helps me (6'4") to ride in a more relaxed position, further back just a bit, but arms still in a bent position with elbows hanging rather than extended.

ha... that is fuggin hysterical!!... I was in Kansas City all last week, while the UPS dude brought box after box of goodies (J&M speakers and amp, Freedom 7" shield, Motorcycle Armor bag lid protectors)...  I get home and my wife says to me... "how much does all this cost?"... I respond " waaay less than that Louis Vitton bag that showed up last week!"   Not another word.

Thanks I ordered the KTP Spiced Rum and was hoping the flames were included.
