My Ghost Doth Come; day 2
« Reply #18 on: June 24, 2009, 01:39:44 PM »

I picked my bike up and immediately put her through her paces.  I followed MotoMan’s recommended break-in procedures and all went well.  The only adverse effect I noticed was the heat coming off the right side.  However, this was not really a surprise after reading several earlier threads posted by the CVO community.  As usual; I drain all fluids from the oil tank, transmission, and primary at the 50 mile mark and put in Mobil 1 V-TWIN 20W-50 in all three holes.  To my surprise when I jumped back on my bike and rode 250 miles in 99 degree heat the heat coming off the right side was greatly reduced.  I can only attribute this to the new oil I put in.  Oh, the oil coming out of primary was full of silver specs and the magnetic drain plug was covered with silver filings.  The oil coming from the other two holes was clean.

Here are some pictures of my bike with a few additions: Cee Bailey’s 13” dark windshield, H-D Windshield Trim, Corbin Solo Seat, Screamin’ Eagle shift linkage, 110 Cubic Inch Derby cover, H-D adjustable highway pegs, and footpegs.

Tomorrow (after I turn 500 miles) I’ll put on D&D Boss head pipes and mufflers, Screamin’ Eagle Heavy Breather, Screamin’ Eagle Super Tuner, floorboard extenders, and saddle bag guards.   

Got to love my SERG   :bananarock:   :jalapeno:   :pepper:

Thanks for the birthing pics!! I was wondering what the $500 "Prep" fee was for, now I know.  It was for the dude that took the box off.  Seams like everything else was on the bike from the MOCO.  HA, your left pipe is crooked too.   :2vrolijk_21:

It looks like you have had plenty of time to prepare (SE shift linkage, Corbin seat, Cee Bailey’s windshield, etc.) and your SERG is really coming together nice! Congratulations, you are going to love this bike.

My promised pictures of further additions will have to wait.  Late yesterday afternoon the dealership called and said they couldn't fit the heavy breather because it arrived without a gasket.  They further stated they did locate a replacement gasket in Baton Rouge and it would arrive UPS this morning.  Hopefully I'll pick up my GHOST today and pictures will follow.   :(

Have MERCY!    nice bike vtyanqui

Did my first service after 1000miles this week and noticed some filings on my primary plug also.    Hows it going with the D&D??

I'm also going to put my Heavy Breather on today since my breather bolts will be here.  Did your dealer just use the canned map from the super sert??

I've got to update my pics
