LOL - with my 40th B-day [smiley=nixweiss.gif] around the corner I was wondering what changes you have made to your bikes, chrome, what parts did you change out, wife always asks what to get me and I never know what to tell her, lol so I got my pen and paper here, lets here what you have done......

This was a popular thread in the SEEG section for a long time.  Over there it was called "Must have changes" or something like that.  Just in case it takes off the same way here I'll put a "sticky" on this thread so it'll stay up on top and rename the thread title so it matches the one in the other section.  

Little things like floorboard extenders for comfort and bigger things like shocks were found there by many guys.  It was a great thread for guys just getting new bikes and not yet knowing what common improvements or issues might be.  Amazing how many changes we do to bikes that come with everything.....  [smiley=nixweiss.gif]   [smiley=huepfenlol2.gif]

Depending on her price range, I vote for The Chrome Starter.....it would look Awesome with your Rinehardts,
with no cross over exhaust pipe the starter really shows up well.

If you carry a passenger I would have to say the first must have would be a relo kit for the tourpak, get that thing moved back some and give them a little room.  I used one from the guy below and it works great, went on easier than the Kuryakyn kit and you can't even notice it's on the bike, plus it allows you to adjust it to 2 different positions while mounted.  Ya gotta call him, he has no website but is really great to deal with.

FR8TRN- what about the amp- can it still be mounted under the relo kit and do you know the price?
Thanks-

Yup the amps stays right where it is and the price was $80 shipped I believe.  I had to buy 4 bolts because our tourpak isn't as thick as a standard one I guess, but the extra 50 cents didn't kill me.  [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

Has any lowered their bike, I was thinking about it not sure though, things I have done, Hmm, chrome Billet License Plate, Chrome Inner Primary, Stealth Footpegs/highway pegs and billet Extensions, Head bolt Covers, chrome light housing (Trim rings) for all lights, chrome speaker trim rings, ( Motor work ) Rineharts with race tunner,

jeff what does the  SE High Flow do, the stater I was going to cover with chrome caps and when it die's replace it with the chrome one....

Fr8trn- asked the wife about the room she has and she saids that she has enough, also isnt there a way to move the tour pack back an inch from the factory, I thought I saw that somewhere....

There is only enough because you haven't moved it back, once you do then that will be "enough".  [smiley=huepfenlol2.gif]

Yes there are 2 different positions for mounting, one and inch farther back than the other, had mine delivered with it furthest back, just wasn't enough.  I had the Kuryakyn Relo Kit on my '04 Ultra so my wife was use to the extra room.

[06 Blk Crimson]

  I like her close to me lol, not sure where mine is set, dumb question how can you tell if it is moved back or not, dont think I ever looked under the tour pack...

[Twolanerider]

how can you tell if it is moved back or not, dont think I ever looked under the tour pack...

Look at the bottom of the tour pak mounting rack.  You'll see the bolts that come down through it now and an alternative set of mounting holes.  One set of holes is farther back than the other set.

Actually twolane, the extra mounting holes are not visible from the bottom on the Screamin' Eagle Ultra as the holes are not in the rack itself... you have to go in thru the tour pak and pull out the liner, then you'll see the extra holes in the tour pak itself.  The extra inch doesn't seem like much, but it makes a big difference.

[06 Blk Crimson]

going to look tonight, thanks for the input....

[jeffj]

hmmmm, I just looked at my tour pak and I am up close
Might just have to move the tour pak back the 1" and give her a little more room
Riding 2 up is not my idea day but some days you got to do it to keep Peace

Interesting.  Thanks Rebel.  So your mounting is entirely different somehow.  On the prior years from the bottom you could see this.  The holes through the pak were the same.  Wonder if the difference is just in your 06 fixed mounts with the leather pak or if something changed on all the 06 bikes?
