I got a nice, leisurely 50 mile ride in. The rain moved out & the weather got very nice here & I can't ride tomorrow, so I took advantage of it. My baby is purring like a kitty. There were lots of bikers out.

Thanks for the info, I will follow your example
Jack has great info. That is pretty much how I did my M8, but I added a K&N air filter in the stock box.
It was a definite performance boost, but it was before I knew about DK Customs & if I had it to do over, I would use one of their air filter systems. I got their 1.5" deluxe tank lift & need to order their air wing deflectors.

I could not ride today, it was raining off & on. I may get 1 in tomorrow afternoon.

What i did today was watch my dealer load up my freewheeler to take out the junk EFM clutch and install my stock one back in.
I just ordered from DK Custom Products, the new Thundervolt 50 Taylor spark plug wires they now carry & the cooling wing deflectors.
The spark plug wires are the best price anywhere. I'm very excited to install everything, but I now need to get some new plugs. I'm not going to make pulling the tank a habit.

Installed the fl-vied, set it just past 50%. It seems to run perfect. I have a 2016 with v&h slipons.
Is there a hi flo k&n filter for the oem 2016 a/c?

A beautiful Saturday...perfect riding weather and a forecast of
rain for the next SIX days...I threw caution to the winds and rode
in short sleeves and jeans , and the smallest helmet I own.
I know , I know , all the gear all the time but staying on local roads
and never past 4th gear , it was the BEST ride I've had in a long time.
It won't happen again...I promise

It was raining this morning, but I went & picked up my 4 pack of new NGK plugs from Advanced Auto Parts. I order online & pick up in store to take advantage of the 25% discount & the plugs were $11. My new plug wires from DK customs should be here Monday, along with my air wing deflectors.

I received my order from DK Custom Products, air wings & spark plug wires. Ordered delivering in 3 days, that's great service.
I now need to find the time & good weather to install everything.

Just so everyone knows, I tried installing NGK CR9E spark plugs in my M8 2017 Freewheeler & the wire end of that plug is not correct. It does not have the small piece that you screw onto the threads.
I will post more when I finish sorting my mess out. I know numerous times in the past I bought spark plugs & that little metal piece to screw on the threads was in the box, but not this time.
Some days peanuts, some days shells.

I went out to the garage and looked at mine then went back in the house and sat in the air conditioning. Heat index today is 105. Like riding in a sauna. Rode about 60 miles to lunch yesterday and was soaking wet from sweat when I got home about 1:30. Have to stick with breakfast rides until the weather cools off. Garage isn't air conditioned so too hot to even work on it after lunch.

So I returned the 4 NGK CR9E plugs to Advanced Auto Parts & got my $11 back and drove to Doc's HD for the OEM plugs for my 2017 M8 Freewheeler. If anyone is interested, it's HD p/n 31600012 & the plugs are labeled 6R10.
$4.45 per plug with my military Vets discount + tax.
The lesson learned is sometimes OEM parts are good, especially when there only $8 more.
