    they might look good also. much difference in position to the stock bars?
    oh
    and where is the new bike?
    if you still don't have it home then take 5 minutes out of your very busy day and tidy up the gargage to make room for it

    not sure how wide you can get under the standard set up but it looks like 200 would be a tight fit. any bigger and you would need to go to an aftermarket wide rear end set up i would think.

    Hey Chriso I thought I was doing all right with 3 bikes in the garage / shed, but you've got a fair old collection going there mate... Good to see a few MXers and chook chasers thrown in there too.

    this thread has gone a bit quite lately so I thought I would give it a bump. Chriso whats with the engine build?
    andyro guess it's to wet there for you to be out enjoying the new bike.
    as for me I aint got a bike yet but did get called to sign the authority to rego so that might be a sign. bloody hope so it's been 3 1/2 weeks now

    Hey Max, the bikes going great. I got out both days last weekend and got another 300k's on it and its now at 1300k's and booked in for its first service this Monday where it'll also get one of those tri-bar LED tail lights and the smoke coloured indicator lenses fitted. I plan on getting that last 300k's up by then.
    The new aircleaner (the bloody right one this time) arrived yesterday and I whacked it on last night and went for a quick ride this arvo after work and you can definitely hear it gulping all that extra air down once she hits about the 2500 RPM mark.
    Im still waiting on the exhaust as D&D haven't finished making it yet, but it should be ready for them to send by the 05 July. Also just placed an order for a Power Vision, so that should be about a week away.

     hi,

    andy, does the bike run any better/worse/no real change with just the aircleaner change you have made?

    i have stock 2010 wide glide and like the poofta pipes but am interested in putting the SE Ventilator kit on it 

    or if you could give us an update after the weekend cruising session

    thanks

    Hi Robots, it's a little difficult to tell at the moment whether it's made much of a difference to performance as I've only had a half hour ride on it since I installed the AC and I don't think the ECU would have adjusted to it yet.
    From everything I've read, a less restrictive AC than stock will only ever make the bike run better.
    I'll have to get back to you once I've put a few more K's on it with this aircleaner.
    Cheers,
    Andy

     Hey fellas been quite cause I've had some frustrating shit going on with the bike

    which didn't want to keep winging about but to cut a long story short bike is finally

    ready to pick up in the morning. Mechanic reckons it pulls hard though so I am keen

    to get on her, planning on putting 1500 ks on her this weekend then going back in for

    dyno next week, will post some numbers for yas next week and some photos of her

    with all the shit on her tomorrow.

    Hey max hope they get a move on with your bike man, waiting is the worst

    Andyro good to hear your enjoying the bike. I am still undecided if I will fit the PV or not. I am in 2 minds about the need for it. Being our bikes run the delfie system they should be keeping the air fuel at the same ratio no matter what we fit to them. Of course there are other adjustments like timing that would make a difference.

    chriso good you get the bike tomorrow. mate you got a descent ride lined up for it. Hope the weather holds out. be interesting to see what the dyno has to say and if they can set it up any better. Pissing down up here at the moment. Yep waiting is the pits and I have never been known to have much patience at the best of times.

    well here she is fellas,stage 4,D&D fatcats,black rockerboxes, led taillight, stealth grips and pegs, other odds and ends. just waiting for bars to be powdercoated and thats it. Put 150 on it after work yesty, pulls the arms out of ya mid range which is where i want my power. very camy round town but keep the revs up and shes good. she is running rough under the 2500 rev mark and at idle and popping a little but will all be ironed out after i get some ks on her and dyno next week. doing bout 1500 ks this weekend with a few blokes from the site so be ready for tune next week. all in all very fucking happy.
