Soon it'll be time to do a minor transformation to Joy! ordered a buncha parts for her. Now that I've used her a bit, I think I know what to do, for now anyway. Nothing major. First the stock mid controls go back on. I decided to keep the HD Flame foot pegs on. I ordered a 3rd set so all 3 match. But might decide to use the standard HD anti-vibration rider pegs. I'll have both now. Got the HD chrome footpeg hardware too. Ordered the HD Flame shifter peg and HD Flame hand grips w/Flame end caps too. And a HD chrome timer plug just for S&G's! ;D

I ordered the HD Low Upright Medallion Style, HD Top Stitch Low Backrest Pad, HD Leather B&S Sissy Bar Bag, and HD Sport 4-Bar Luggage Rack. That should help Binx a little back there, and give us a little storage space for now.

For handlebars, I decided to try to leave the risers and the PIA indicator setup alone for now. I'm gonna try the HD 56085-83T Chrome Handlebars out. Stock are 28" tip to tip, 8" base width, 3.5" rise, and 6.25" pullback. I thought I'd try to keep the sportier riding position with the mid controls back on. The bars I'm trying are 31" tip to tip, 7.75" base width, 4.5" rise, and 5.75" pullback. I'm hoping they raise my hands the little more I need, and give it even a sportier feel with the right positioning. For 40 bucks it's worth a shot.

The bike runs great with the carb/pipes/ignition change from the beginning. Never rode her stock, but didn't have any desire to either. This is how a stock Evo should run. Thinking of a lil headwork, compression and cams to get her up to about 80HP. This light lil bike should run really great that way!

The suspension's been fine so far. I think I'll hold off on anything there. But I'll prolly be ordering the direct bolton 6-piston PM differential bore chrome front, and 4-piston DB PM chrome rear calipers soon too.

After I get the parts and get to it, I'll get some more pics up. She's my only bike on the road right now and I'm lovin riding her! She'll only get better from here on! ;)

Now let's try it again before this resembles the Hijack This Thread thread! :o

Is the coast clear now?  I don't want to get in the middle of a family argument. ;D

And all this time I thought I was the only one who had one of those things.   ;)

Howie, It does me good to see somebody else still messing around with a (soon to be) ten year old bike like it's brand new.  I suffer from the same disease.

Binx, I know it's hard to understand....... ::) ;D ;D ;D

As well you should.  I've seen all the CVO bikes several times over in person.  But I've only seen pictures of "Ole Granny".  She's one of a kind. :2vrolijk_21:

The HD Low Upright Medallion Style (w/B&S Medallion on back) and HD Top Stitch Low Backrest Pad look great on the bike. That'll definitely help Binx a lot back there. The Chrome Timer Hole Plug is always a nice touch on an Evo too! :2vrolijk_21:

The HD Sport 4-Bar Luggage Rack hasn't arrived yet. Waiting on that, and the HD quick remove trans dipstick and the HD oil temp dipstick too. ???

The HD Leather B&S Sissy Bar Bag is a waste and is going back. Don't waste your money on it! :thumbsdown:

Got the HD Flame stuff, but waiting on the handlebars. Will do the bars and mid-controls together when the bars come in. ;)

That's it for TODAY'S UPDATE on Joy! ;D

You know the ones that allow the wind to blow the underarm sweat behind you rather than drip on your pants :)

HeHe!!! Actually, not this time! Trying out HD 56085-83T, Chrome Super Glide Handlebars. 1" taller rise and 3" wider than stock FXR3 bars. Forty bucks! it's worth a try before I have to start messing with riser changes! That's a hornet's nest cause of the integrated PIA indicator lamps built into the riser clamp! ;)
