Not to be Crass Mike.....How much only money.....
Trade difference was $10 k. Not bad depreciation considering I had close to 25k in milage on it. Yr and 3 mos old. And, they swapped over my bumper, grips, lighted switch gear, floorboard spacers, custom fuel door and derby cover. My black passang lamps and, my J W Speaker headlight.
Trike got tuned today. I got to keep the tuner. Added H-D's high flow a/c that uses the OE factory a/c cover. Vance & Hines trike specific mufflers are on order and go on next Saturday along with the lift kit for the rear end. Deciding factor was getting to hear/ride another HOG member's '17 trike that has the exact same set up. There is a marked bump in hp and torque. With me doing a lot of high altitude riding during the summer, I'll take all the power I can get. The exhaust is slightly louder than the factory under acceleration where one wants it yet very radio friendly at highway speeds of 75/80 with a full coverage helmet on. The fact that they will allow me to bring my own fluids for the servicing points means my indie has lost a long time customer.
Congrats on the new ride Michael :clapping:
I want to keep my 17 stock, Please don't temp me....I promised with this one i'm not gonna monkey with it.......Maybe....:Shrug:
Congrats on the new ride
Had the other Nam vet not shown up with his trike for the labor day gtg at the dealership today while they were finishing the bumper swap, I probably never would have done it. The deal sealer was being able to take his trike for a short run at highway speeds. The m8 really begs to be massaged.
I know theres more in the M8 engine.....As of now i'm good 'I find that on local roads where i would do the speed limit with the Monkeyed with 103, Now i'll go way over without even realizing. Because it powers up and rides so smooth....Gotta make sure i keep my get out of jail card close .
Good times Mike! .... Congrats on the upgrade :clapping: now...what was that saying of yours, pictures or it didn't happen :laugh:
