I gotta figure out how to pop a wheelie ... Never know when ya might need some air
Popping a wheelie is easy...what takes practice is coming down easy. DON'T practice on the TG. :laugh:

I am glad we have got you and msocko3 and Fuzzy and some of the other guys who aren't afraid to take a wrench or a funnel to their bikes in order to make them better. Then you are so kind to share things with us including lots of pictures. I appreciate your posts and especially the trip photos. We might not get to Alaska this year but I have seen it vicariously through yours and Mary's eyes. Hey thanks for all you guys do

Cool!
I got 60 more miles in today. Took the long way home from the shop.
I'm looking forward to being done with the break-in miles. There is definitely more power there than the '11. Just can't tell how much with being easy on the wrist and RPM's.
Need to get the tank lift and Deluxe option installed...not used to that air coming over the top of the tank, makes for a bit of buffeting...plus I want that air going under the tank across the engine.
These were the first miles I put on it with the Wards Parts Werks fans installed.
After it was warmed up I let it sit for about 10 minutes idling, the radiator fans never kicked on...last ride (without the Wards fans) the radiator fans kicked on after about 5 minutes of idling.
My HD brand dipstick oil temp gauge went defective today...3 days after it was purchased.
So I had no way to see what the oil temps were doing.
From the pic below you can see I installed my backrest, air hawk and sheepskin. Definitely better for me...but need to get the handlebars made and installed...those puppies are just too short for me.
Also, hopefully you can't see in the pic that Mary put some 3M film on the fenders, the plastic between the fenders and the side covers, and also film on the side covers.
Here's a better pic of the Wards fans and the DK Custom Shift Linkage-
Here's a pic of the wheel after being rattle canned with clear. Looks good, hope it holds up.
Still have quite a few things to do on the list, but making progress.

Kevin,
Hard to to tell from the picture but did you lose quite a bit of the glossy shine to your wheels when you cleared them.
I would've never figured just exhaust tips would make that much of a difference.
Of course, I had the FullSac dx header put on, and it followed that they took the baffles out of my factory exhaust and put theirs in. They also changed out the tips of the exhaust as well.
I know that I have significantly more power than before. In fact, I've raised the front wheel of the ground (an inch or two--no wheelies here ) going into 2nd gear on several occasions. First time I wasn't expecting it AT ALL. I let out a big whoop when I realized what happened!
Impact allen sockets are the best way when using impact guns to get the bolts out.. Or some heat as they most likey have Loctite on the bolts.
