I laughed so much I cried, again. Going have to get one a these M8 things so can comment on my wankee factor add ons too. 

Just had my cams installed, V&H Power Duals  fitted up to the Two Brothers Racing mufflers, SERT in and heavy breather fitted. Won't be tuned until tomorrow.
Keep you informed, but we all know what the outcome will be.

Just picked the RoadKing up from Bikeworks, and all I can say is I love this thing now.
The cams/headers/SERT/and intake mods have woken it up, and gave me back the thump and sound I was looking for.

101RWHP, and 113 Ft lbs was the end result, right in the rev range where I want it, overtaking speeds.

Whilst it was in there, I added a internal wire kit for the bars, smooth fuel filler and gauge, and a set of CVO hand grips.
Roll on the road trip.

Looks good mate, and I bet it even sounds better, cant wait for mine to arrive.

Agree with all you've said, Lofty. The power duals and pissing off of the cat make a huge difference to sound and breathing . Really nice useable power in an area where it's been found wanting on mine. The RK is looking schmick! All you need now is a sprung seat to cushion those ribs, mate. Keep your eyes peeled for pot holes on your run.

Well I pulled the trigger on Saturday , added this latest beast to the collection ... 2017 Road Glide Special ... To go with my 99 Springer , heavily Customized plus my 08 Softail that also has its fair share of extra goodies .

Lol ... Yeah Baloffski , I reckon I had to many Black Harleys ... Thanks for the compliment .

Used my lifter on my old Softy, Roadking and now the Streety no problems. Unless the M8 has something different it should be ok.

Congratulations TJU. I look forward to seeing you on an SA Run.

He's got the legs now. Nomada has made the effort.

Hey Steelo , the plan IS to do more longer rides and like you say now I have the longer legs it should be more comfortable ... Have done Brisbane to Melbourne , over to Tassie back to Melbourne over the Great Ocean road , back over the Great Ocean road , across to Sorrento , got a new tyre at a place starting with B , need to consult the travel journals to remember names of places , Lol ... Anyhow up to Omeo over the Majestic Snowys down to Canberra , split from the other guy's and up through Scone and home again ... 7500 K's in just under 3 weeks .

Well the new addition to the fleet is sitting proudly in the Garage ... 2017 Velocity Red Road Glide Special ... old Bike Lift used alreadt and as all you good people said , it worked fine ... had to get that pesky road dust off my new shiny wheels ... plus move the old foot shifter peg up an notch , could hardly get my foot under it to change gears .

Had a couple of terrifying moments on way home ... we live an hour away from Gasoline out west of Brisbane ... proberbly the worst winds i have ridden in for years , there was even talk of shutting down the Brisbane airport due to severe crosswinds ... not ever have ridden a bike with such a large fairing before , except a couple of small fairings on Jap bikes let me tell you it had me thinking i had made a mistake getting a bike with such more area of mass for the wind to push .

Came past a truck on the right side , truck on left concrete wall on right ... wind caught me and i missed the wall by the most a foot ... PHARK ... another time , me in left lane car in right lane , came out of a cutting and again just missed this little old lady ... talk about heart in the mouth time .

Reckon it didn`t help with the 14" High Ball Burliegh Bars that are on it , the combination of me not being used to riding with Ape Bars having always had Low and wide bars and of course with my armrs sticking up in the air the wind was not only pushing against a greater area of mass with the Fairing and sadle bags but also the great lump of lard sitting behind the bars , would have been like a huge paracute ... don`t see the Bars lasting the duration of me owning the bike ... reckon i will drop back to the 9" Chiseled Harley Bars they have on offer ... but will give them a chance first before making any rash discissions ... have a 7 to 8 hundred K`s ride locked in for next weekend so that should hopefully give me a greater idea of how i like the ride postion .

For the people who have continued to read through my ramblings i had a technical question for the good folk out there ... when i got the bike one of the things that attracted me was the Chrome Turbine Wheels , front and back ... now as you are all aware the standard rear wheel is a 16" ... the rear Turbine they put on is a 18" ... the profile of the tyre is lower than the standard rear tyre but would anyone know how much of a difference in trye profile there would have to be so the speed would regiseter the same as stock ... the last thing i want is to be cruising along at what i think is a 100 K`s and am really doing 110 or whatever the difference might be ... had changed the pully size on one of my other rides and had installed a speed sensor adjuster but was never a real fan of it , never got it to be totally precise .

So the new adventure begins ... have already bookmarked a dozen or so pages in the latest catolouge for things i want to add or change ... one of these days i am going to find the bottom of my wallet and i am going to be broke ... But Happy ... Hopefully , Lol .

Tim .

Hi TJU. Congrats on taking possession of the beast. Sorry you had a bit of drama on the way home. They do take some getting used to and as I was told, you have to think about every aspect of riding and parking.

TJU, very impressive bike you have by the sound of it, and is "velocity Red" .excellent choice from my looking. I picked up a Road Glide Custom from next door to my work place in Melbourne 2012, August, slightly customized by HH with mini 10 inch apes, which were not the problem. T'was riding home just coming onto the Nepean Highway at a place called St. Kilda, I was near killed too, from a gust of wind that actually pushed me over two lanes, near into a vehicle.

Lol ... Steelo , thanks for the offer of swapping wheels , but I have original wheels as well ... Pretty sure you are right about Speedo running off gear box sensor but when ever you change wheels or pulley sizes it throws the actual real speed out ... So I have been told at least ... Standard rear tyre is a 180/65 profile and new rear tyre is a 180/55 profile ... So hopefully although it has gone up 2 inches in rim size it has come back a bit with the lower profile ... Just not sure if it close enough to precise speed ... Will do some drive by test with missus car and mates bikes .

Got out on the new M8 today ... Winds have died down considerably , still blowy but nothing like last 2 days ... So so much more enjoying to ride today , only short 300 Klm ride but Phark I am going to get myself in trouble once I have adjusted my brain waves to riding this Tourer and especially when the Stage 4 motor is run in and ready to Rip , Lol ... The power there just waiting to be unleashed is Freacking amazing ... 5th and 6th gear roll ons when overtaking even now is incredible .

Did you lock the door before going to bed, you don't need an ice pack you could probebly just slide a few cubes in there now.

Hey fellas, loving me new ultra. Rode it back from Sydney to Townsville and could have kept on riding. One question from you guys if I may.

Finally got my Dyno graph after having the Torque Cams installed.

Very happy with how the bike feels on the road.
