    Are you installing any parts & acc, We want to see!!!!

    Thats right!

    If your installing any parts or acc we would love to know how you did it & was it easy or hard.

    Just take as many pictures as you can showing each step & We Will post a how too story on the front page giving you credit.

    Remember take double the amount of pictiures showing every step and problem you ran into.

    We would like to start a collection of tutorials for our members.

    Hellwraith did a nice one on long shot baffle mods

    Good thinking. In the near future I have to pull the primary on my FLT, I will take a few extra pics along the way.

    thank you , thank you

    Bows , grins , drinks a beer !!!



    Just a side note - I think the baffles are gonna have to come out one more time !!! Im still not overly impressed with the sound Im getting and might actually take the pipes off the bike and cut them into shorties .. Still debating this and whether I think I could afford a new pair of pipes if I f**k them up ...

    Damn Wide I could have had a good acc mod. for ya! Last Month I installed Electronic Cruise Control on My Electra Glide Classic. Like Forrest Gump says........" It was Haard " HD dealer said it was about 1 1/2 hrs labor. Took me 6 hrs All the base wiring was installed by factory. So everything was basicly plug ins. Had to install module in side compartment, install new hand control on throttle side also Dash switch. Had to pull the fairing cap to get to the hand control plugins. Buddy Of stopped by and said Damn dude... are you going to be able to get it back together. After all was said and done It works Great ! Nothing like letting your bike do the work for you on the Highway.

    If any one else is thinking about doing cruise control Give me a holler if ya need some pointers......

    Really all ya need is basic skills and No special tools.

    No big deal, but I like 'em. I use my bike to commute to work and needed some storage space. Also come in handy for camping and a variety or activities.

    The pic shows thee installed Rear turn signal relocation kit, and HD bags. I was going to try to make some bags, but the wife bought these for me for Christmas...... I'm reasonably sure they are better.
