Well I rode the ole Low Glide all around the county today.
The Wood W6 cam is quiet. I've read on a number of other sites that this cam is a little noisy. I'd say not. I do not notice any difference noisewise from the factory cam. However, when you get into the cam (2100 - 2200 rpm) she takes right off. She runs strong all the way to the limiter. I would recommend this cam to anyone for an Evo. I'm told she'll be even better after the heads are milled a bit.
I'm going to have to replace the straight risers with pullbacks. I like the flat hand position of the Deuce bars but I'm still having to reach too far. I'm have to adjust the gauge mount by straighten the lip in a press. A little black wrinkle paint should make it look right.
I'll have to get back in the habit of turning the gas on. Embarrassing to have someone telling you what a nice bike you have and then it sputters and dies.
The Progressive 412 shocks put the OEM's to shame. Very responsive and smooth. The 35mm front forks are still a weakness, even with heavier oil. Wonder if Ricor makes a IAS for them?
Finally I have a rattle I'm trying to track down. At first I thought it was my old butt however I'm checking around the heat sheilds once she cools.
I fell in love all over again for this FXR. Keats, you gotta ride this baby. And she's pretty too.
