I don't buy into the HD & cruiser style myself but biking is biking, the common bond we all share.
True that brother, I think the same, whenever I work on the Streetfighter !
I saw this video 6 years ago …. Was searching for this song for so long , had to see all the rides again ( no qualms about it ) … and found it here ..Just so you know …. Hello again from India Dell … hope you doing great 🎉
Hi buddy, great to hear from you... you only need ask what any given song is and always be happy to let you know!
Hell of a horse trader! Going from a 2005 Fatboy to a 2012 switchback. For a more than reasonable price! Beautiful English country side. Narrow highways ! Fun video to watch. Got a chance to see some beautiful country and compare Harley’s. Win win situation! Ride on Delboy!
Thank you so much for your kind and generous words of support Sir, am glad you enjoyed the video, it's great to experience some beautiful bikes!
Yes keep the videos coming. Much appreciated! Always pick up your good advice!
My '84 Softail had 151,000 miles on it when I took it down for rebuild and even then it would pull 100 mph with rider and passenger. As far as I am concerned, Harley stopped making motorcycles when the last EVO left the factory.
ETA: You have a real talent for making these videos.
Thank you for your kind words and you're right on the EVO.. last of the line !
I think you did the right thing. Beautiful bike, great scenery! Thanks for taking us along! Rob
Thanks for the ride in the country. It really is beautiful there.
Yeah, it truly is, we are blessed to live in such a beautiful place!
Finally got my wife to ride on back again after 30 years on my red 2000 600 Bandit. She saw a black 2012 GSX1250FA, made me buy it! Love it, can't get her off the bike now!
Lucky bloke Dave... gettin' them to love it is the biggest hurdle !
Sounds like a great deal there Del, nice one! Love the way you made it into a "no brainer" in order to sell it to Penny Pitstop, this is an excellent skill to cultivate and something I frequently practice when a new toy beckons. Great looking pub there too....bit of a shocker seeing you without a hat mind you!! I know zip about Harley's so it's great to learn about them from you, keep up the good work - all the best to both of you - TMF
Thanks buddy, didn't make it a review, more of a 'here's what I bought' because so many people asked for a walk round ... and we fancied a ride out... I'll be doing a few reviews on it, but more as an excuse for up-grades, gonna de-cat the bike this weekend... the suspension has got some room for improvement, and a few other things as time goes on... so should be able to reach out to a lot of Dyna owners who are the second largest generic bike owning group next to Sportsters... good to hear from you buddy, ride safe, D&P!
"You can't polish a turd." But you can cover it in glitter! Nice to see you out on the bike again! Keep on riding!
The 103 on My 2016 FLD sure is plenty fast enough !
I did the Dragons Tail and now have 1700 miles
as last winter was not kind. Two Christmases
ago in a row were 70 degrees F in TN.
I enjoyed Your video !
Wow what a looker! ....... and the bike lol. Seriously Del, very nice mate, never been into the old Harley thing myself, but I love to see and hear them on the road. Glad you made the right decision, sod paying that for a (basically) tune up! Nice to see you both out on 1 bike too, makes a nice change. RSM8's, all the best as usual.
Nice one Del mate. Love the paint job. Great to see both you & Penny out clocking up some miles in the sunshine. Enjoy & ride safe bud. Cheers, Al.
Yes! Good choice mate! I love my '13 Wideglide. Loud,lowered and feels so good with the 103". 😎
Thats practically the same bike as mine with different clothes on....! lol
Rode a Switchback for 6 months. Loved it.
I been watching the video here, for about 4 weeks, 2 weeks prior to ownnership of a 2012 switchback, and 2 weeks into actually owning a switch back...waiting on a new battery now..........ahhhhh the english country side cheerio mate.
Lovely new bike. The paint looks great. Hope you enjoy years of trouble free riding. :)
I too have a 2012 Switchback. Love my bike! Greetings from USA my friend!
Beauty bike Del, after I sold my 11 Nightster I picked up an 07 FXDB last year, specifically because of the issues you mentioned, and the 07 was the best year for a few reasons ( engine colour, non integrated risers and full rear fender) I added a repro set of Dyna police footboards and could not be happier. Excellent choice on your bike, classic looks and handles, mag wheels a more worry free bonus as well, look forward to your Dyna vids!
Nice one buddy - you're right on the full fender, I've never liked the 3/4 fenders on the later Streetbobs.. I had an 09 with those features, and by far a better look than the current ones!
Made my switchback club style and I love it even more
Congratulations on the new bike! What a beauty!
The view from the bridge is magnificent .
The only way yo 'unware' an engine is to ' replace ' it. lol
Awsome vlog . keep it up .
Beautiful bike Del, well done. I traded my 2011 XL1200X in on a 2017 FXDLS a couple months ago here in Sydney and I'm loving it :) Rock on!!!
Nice bike, glad everything worked out. Love the countryside view, keep up the great video's.
Tastefully done! I like that paint.
Nice to see you out riding .. Very good choice and totaly makes good sense . and 1 sweet looking dyna .. good job Take Care
I enjoyed every bit of that, thanks for sharing and a big thumbs up!
Cheers!
Congratulations on the upgrade, the bike looks pretty damn good, really like the paint as well.
Thanks buddy - am very happy with it !
Sweet ride. Looks great in the two tone.
Nice bike mate, you made a good decision. Love the countryside view, you and Penny enjoy
putting miles on that bike. Cheers
it looks real in lack of better terms "clean" im digging it
Hey Del, GREAT choice. I too have a 2012 FLD Switchback. I'm excited to see your upcoming maintenance vids. As I've told you, I do all my own work - although not common for a woman - and I have learned a lot from you. By the way, the FLD is notorious for having a terrible vibration. I fixed mine by first putting a Screamin' Eagle Night Stick on and replacing the bolt that connects the muffler to the frame with a clevis pin and nylon and rubber washers. ENJOY your FLD! - Twyla
Hey Twyla... glad the videos can help ! And it's really cool that you have the same bike... ! You're right, they do vibrate a lot on tick over and moving slow in traffic, it's to do with the length of the exhaust... the motor mounts are the same on every Dyna, but the others don't have a full length heavy exhaust that's connected to the frame... mine has a full Pro-Pipe system fitted, which I don't like the sound of, it's too hollow and low pitched, almost sounds like a metric cruiser! I can't find a Thunderheader in the UK for sale, and they are too expensive to import, so am gonna go with some V&H twin pipes, they are lighter and bolt to a floating bracket that's mounted to the engine, which doesn't transmit the vibes to the frame... either way, the vibes vanish above 1200revs - first job I'm gonna do is this weekend, remove the cat convertor out of the factory header pipe, so it's empty, which will be a good video for those who want to do that - keep in touch, all the best, D&P !
Great bike, Great area to ride.
Nice bike Del, congrats! Two times I asked you ( and warn ) about cam chain tensioner problem on TC88 before 2007, and today finally, I've got answer, thank you. BTW, two month ago I sold my 2006 TC and now thinking about new one :) Dyna is great bike, particulary switchback. ( I've tested different modells of Dyna, LR S my favorite today ). I like to feel vibranions given by engine and smooth moment on the rear wheel. What the great sound of your new bike! Best wishes!
Thanks buddy, I first heard about the tensioner issue in the press when I worked in the bike trade... it even partly affected the EVO's, before the twin cams came out... I checked mine about a week after buying the bike, and it was perfect... could have even been a new one... so I had nothing to worry about, but the only real peace of mind, is the gear drive conversion, and all the rest I said in the video...
The Low Rider S is gonna be a short lived bike, and it will lose quite a bit of money, they are currently way over priced for what they are, £5000 more than a WideGlide, and the equipment they have over the WideGlide is about £2000 worth... they have suffered from a lot of over-hype, and the 107 engine is the future... the 110 motor in the CVO bikes, is not the 110 in the LR S, there are differences, like I said, there's a lot of hype behind that bike to justify the price..... Obviously you must buy one if you want one, but be concious they will drop in price quite severely after 3yrs... go back in history and many specially tweaked Harleys have come and gone, and are all pretty worthless these days... XR1200, for example, NightRod Special, Buell 1125, and even earlier than all these, the Dyna FXR Sport from the '90's (the one with the twin plug heads) - if investment means anything to you, then it's the style icons that hold their value forever... I didn't lose a penny on my FatBoy and owned it for a year... just a thought to help you make your choice mate !
Thank you a lot of! Totally agree with your thoughts. My eyes looks on the 2014 RK CVO, but budget :) I still thinking about best choice.
Congratulations on the new bike Del, sorry to hear the FB has gone, i'm a big fan but what you've said made perfect sense, hope your gonna get those indicators changed to dark lenses....cheers mate
Beautiful too!
koooool bike dude, and glad Pen fell for..... I mean understood the logic. have fun ridding it Buddy, ride safe.
Wow! This is quite a surprise, but brilliant! I love the nimble handling and powerful torque of the legendary Dyna! Looks beautiful too... plus low miles... new technology... Well done mate :)
All of the above my friend... get them on a straight road with a smooth surface and they live up to the name 'Glide'... so much grunt ! Awesome... Hope you're enjoying the summer, 72 and sunny at last !
Congrats Del. Sweet new ride!
Great to see you take advantage of this sunshine and cool new bike...Looking into another Harley myself, Street Bob, must keep eyes open for a trade in :)
Dynas have never been such good value for all the bike you get for your money....! Good luck finding the right one buddy. Del.
Love the bike. Well deserved. Thanks for all the videos again. The both of you put so much time and effort and it is much appreciated.
Thank you for noticing buddy, much appreciated - yes, it's many hours!
Congrats! I got the Harley Truck,and i Luv it! lol!
Nice bike and impeccable logic. Well done.
Very nice, congratulations on the new bike.
Gotta say, I love your style man. Keep 'em coming.
I have to say that I'm not a Harley fan but that is a beautiful looking bike and such a good value change. I love the colours. Ride safe you 2 👍
Thanks Jason.
Truly nice couple have fun and that bike sounds good man ☺
Nice upgrade to a lovely looking bike! health to enjoy!
Delighted to get the chance to have a good look at the FLD! It looks like you've got a couple of bar options as well as it seems to have a shorter 'beach' bar on in the other glimpses I've had. The paint is beautiful, as I've said previously. Very close to a Duo Glide FLP. It's a truly flexible platform although it seems a common complaint that the screen is too short to be really useful, accentuating head buffeting. Many reviews complain about the vibrations, as this isn't the.103 'B' like on the Softail sand tourers. I say hoorah, I want that haha. Too much going on with the house renovation currently to even contemplate any changes bike wise. But I'm really sold on the Switchback, for the second time round as I nearly got one when I bought the 72.
Get in quick buddy, they don't make them anymore, and they're gonna become sought after... they only deleted them because they were taking a chunk out of RoadKing sales, they need clear definition between the model genres and the Switchback fogs the line too much... in sales terms, a Dyna should not be a tourer, and it's the same reason they deleted the Dyna Convertible in '93... !
I bought a new 2017 low rider but I was always very keen on the Switchback. Awsome vid man 🤘
I am from Australia and I wrote off my fatboy a month ago I was cut off but all is good survived to tell.lol.
I am picking up a 2014 switchback tomorrow can't wait.
Hi Ray, mate am so sorry to hear that, I hope you weren't hurt, but great to hear you're back in the saddle already... enjoy picking up your new bike, ride safe and enjoy that sunshine there!
nice bike,congrats.have done a couple of cam tensioner upgrades for customers,not to difficult and definately worth it. sound logic there and great choice on the dyna.wish you many safe and happy miles together. all the best.
Thanks Rob. The power and handling of the Dyna is leagues ahead, well worth the change.
Great looking bike enjoy
Stunning Del, enough said.
Cool bike, Like the look.
I love my Fatboy Lo. 2015 has about 1050 miles on it (got it when it had 26). I haven't been riding as much lately partially due to the weather, partially due to the wife's work schedule and I cart the kids back and forth a lot. In an ideal world I'd add a fat bob or possibly a triumph of the same idea as a fat bob to my arsenal for quicker rides and some nice handling. But I love my Fatboy so far. Looking to upgrade the seat and take her on some longer rides.
I am also owner of a Dyna Switchback since almost three years. I am satisfied and had no trouble with it. That bike is a kind of cross-breed of a dyna and a FLH model. It gives you the best of both: nimble and not too overweighted, like dyna's but has abilities for duo and touring riding of the other big full dressers. Switchbacks are sometimes considered by some hardcore Harley riders as a poor man's Road king , or a tourer for the women but I dont care what they say. The only things it is lacking is a dual disc front brake and air sissy-bar with adjustable suspensions. I have just added a crashbar and a detachable luggage rack. All the rest is still stock, even the exhaust system! I just want to change the handlebar for a slightly lower and wider one. Forgive me foor my poor English, i am french.
Bonjour Vincent, merci pour votre aimable message, vous avez raison, le Switchback est un merveilleux mélange du meilleur des deux motos, le Dyna et un Tourer ... vous pouvez installer un ancien modèle de barres FatBoy et il constitue une mise à niveau vraiment confortable. ... merci pour votre message, conduisez prudemment!
Moving on up , great ride brother , 103 inches of fun ,just like my street bob .Keep the shiny side up.
Cheers buddy - go like stink, dont they ?!
Good Stuff . Looks like a Lot Of Fun :) Love that sound brrrrraaapppp
Nice one mate. I just bought a Dyna lovely bikes handle just like a sporty have fun.
Thanks Brian, hope you're enjoying yours as much as im enjoying this buddy..
Looks great
Very nice mate
Really enjoyable vid. The Dyna's are a versitile bike. Lovely countryside to tour but I take your point about the country lanes.
I've been using RUclips for years now but just this week created an account so I can subscribe and get notified on new videos. Keep up the good work! Awesome bike
Thanks for the subscription buddy... hope we can keep you entertained, and you enjoy the videos !
o wow your just down the road from me ridden those roads a lot myself
Great looking bike Del. A great deal you made. Ride safe...
Like your NEW ride brotha !!!!! Wish you many hours of joyful RIDIN .....
love the views and awesome bike
A great looking bike Sir.. here's to a glorious summer and some fantastic rides out.
Tru dat buddy, it's absolutely glorious chugging up the hill through Corfe Castle with Penny on the back, and the slower the traffic the better cos it makes all the windows rattle - nothing like being heard before you arrive lol !
I didn't think there was any other way but slow getting up that steep hill prior to turning left to Swanage. the queue is normally back to the roundabout, but there are some cracking roads round there
An absolute beauty. Well wear.
beautiful bike
Lovely bike buddy, enjoy it 👍👍🔧🔧regards Stu
Nice one !
Get out in the sunshine
The Dyna is iconic Harley, and I was sad to see its models subsided into the Softtail line this year.
When I bought my 2006 Road King Classic, it had nearly 85,000 miles (not kilometers) on its cam chain tensioner. So I was lucky, but there was time left on the extended warranty, so I paid my $25 to have the warranty transferred, then I paid another $50 to have the crank journals and cam journals replaced, plus had the cams upgraded to SE, re-ringed the pistons and honed the cylinders, and-within the same $50 warranty repair-changed the standard tensioner to hydraulic, with a high-volume oil pump to drive it (this is the same tensioner used on the 96 ci Twin Cam). So there is a less noisy alternative to gear-driven (although, if paying for it out of pocket, the cost of the two upgrades is about the same).
Of course, then, on top of my 50-buck warranty work, I added V&H Dresser Duals, a Drak hi-vol intake, SE tuner (tried the V&H Fuel Pack but it wouldn’t run right) and-because they were the only thing on the bike that looked worn-upgraded the forks to chrome. Oh, and added a backrest because I am an old fart.
Essentially, a rebuilt engine. And later-also under warranty-I did the compensator, sprockets and swingarm bushings, plus swapped in a new belt out of my own pocket.
So, now I have a 12-year-old Harley that will lift the front wheel off the road in 4th gear, without me even yanking on the handlebars.
Just a long-winded way of saying that there is an alternative upgrade. The hydraulic tensioner is quite reliable, provided you go to a high-volume oil pump at the same time.
But all that worked only because I had extended warranty money to work with. Operating out of your own pocket, you did precisely the right thing, Del.
Hi Tom, it looks like you got your money's worth from that warranty upgrade aye... good going buddy.. and it sounds like a monster now, i was blown away by the extra power in the 103 motor over the old 1450 twincam... its pretty tempting to invest in some cams and a pair of SE hi flow heads.. Good to hear from you buddy, have a good weekend.. Del.
Beautiful machine Del, love the way you can convert from tour to naked, or any where in between!
sure can, make it so much more usable... thanks buddy.
Cool bike Del. It looks great and the paint is awesome.
You did a great step forward in mileage and year of the bike.
Thanks Marius, it sure was a great deal for not much money..!
Great video and nice bike!
interesting video, as per usual. Best of luck with the new ride
beautiful bike mate and the weather looks amazing too...got that home sick feeling again !!!
Come on home brother - 30' every day for the last week, and 34' today... in the middle of a heatwave here and it's set to continue ! What's keepin' ya lol!
Moonfleet41 it only lasts for a few weeks ..im living in those temps daily lol
Smart move Del , like you said its a no brainer !
Nice bike! Enjoy!!
I really appreciate your videos! I just bought a 2007 softail custom and fulfilled a lifelong dream! As a father of 2 young children it helps if you can do some of the work on the bike yourself to keep things affordable. Your videos are a great help! Thanks and keep up the good work!
Nice ride
Congrats on the beutiful new bike, but I think the cam tensioner is only a problem for those who have to pay big money to the dealers to get it inspected regularly. Ive heard the newer twincams have the same issue, just the shoes last more thanks to hydraulic tensioning. I like a lot the paint scheme btw!
I can't believe how parallel our bike lives are, you in England an me here in Washington State. While your riding an talking about Harley timing chain tentioner troubles I'm looking through the box of parts. I had same thought you did, why put in same failed pad parts back in so I upgraded to new Harley Hyd. system opting out of gear drive only because of cost (I'm nuts but not that crazy)!. I bought the tools so now I can do both systems. You upgraded your bike with much less miles just dealing with this cam chain problem. I stayed with my bike for two reasons: all my $6000+ in accessories they'd give me dime on dollar, an it being a 03' 100 anniversary edition. Having already put auto-adjuster in primary an so much more. Now we know why you ride, roads in England so narrow, my driveway is wider than your so called roads, more like cart trails in width. What happens on bridge when truck not car comes side of your bike? Ride Safe, always think that cars going to turn in front of you, because he can't see you!
Good Morning Tim, Firstly, Thank you for all of your cool messages, its great to hear from a Kindred Spirit all the way from over there.. These days i have changed may Harley Direction again, i realized in the end that im just plain not interested in the newer bikes, Fuel injection, ABS, Traction control, FlyByWire throttle, drink holder lol... its all getting a bit too "Lexus" for me... so last November, I sold up my new model EFI touring bike, Went and sourced a 1999 Dyna Wide Glide from an old guy who bought it brand new and loved it for 20 years, only selling it because he and his Wife for a few reasons could no longer ride it... so i gave them good money for it, and rode it 300 miles home in the rain.... It went straight on the bike lift the next morning, and after 3 months it rolled back out into the sunshine a totally different bike.. i made a video series to cover all the work, but also made a short reveal video at the end, here is a link.
ruclips.net/video/cIoEmKYF5T8/видео.html I shot a "before and after" to show the transformation.. and you can see more of our tiny country roads too...
I totally Love the bike, its bare bones, hard core, carburetor, Loud and lazy... Just my take on what a Harley Davidson should be... This is my keeper now, im donw with new model Harleys, as good and efficient as they are, i just ain't looking for what they offer and i dont have a degree in computer science to fix them.!!
Take care my friend and keep in touch..
Del.
Moonfleet41 I was hoping I wasn't bugging you with more than couple comments. I hope you enjoy you new ride! That's a good way to buy something from a friend or someone you know that really took care of his or her equipment. My friend Harry was forman for propane co. in Portland, Oregon an did propane conversions to trucks an cars. I put a complete suspension "Ben's Springs" built on a 76 Chevy truck I rebuilt. I balanced an blueprints motor, Holly carb an Edelbrock intake an exhaust.Then we mounted a propane carb above an to Holly carb with electric fuel shut off an an electric fuel pump. I wired both systems to switch for gas or propane. Gem Top Truck Canopy paid me twice as much from teaching school with four day work week (but I missed the teaching an students). They had 18g-4x8ft sheets of galvanized painted steel that I could buy for $5 a sheet (what a deal) I had steel everywhere) so I built the only Gem Top Camper ever made, haha! Used all their parts an lights. Then put air shocks an sway bar, an 80 gallon propane tank in bed next to cab so camper rolled right in over tank. Anyway, when I was ready to sell that truck my friend Don refused to have me sell it to anyone else, Cool! I had a Jeep an a Honda 750CB that sold the same way, come to think of it, non of my stuff sit around long when for sale! I like it, new buyer likes it an my equipment like it, it's the same for you! That's why I watch, haha! RIDE SAFE! Tim
Belter mate, the thing that got me was the little rub on penny's knee as you pulled away, exactly what i do to my missis!!
Enjoy.
Thanks buddy, we've been riding together together a long, long time... we have an unspoken language, so need for silly intercoms ... ride safe buddy
Lovely bike Del, lots of great rides coming up for the two of you. Sad to see the Fatboy go of course, but who knows, you may return to the FLSTF in the future. Take care mate. Cheers, Paul.
Like your way of thinking Del, got to say I think you got a cracking deal there mate!
Yeah, we think so too mate... not sure it the message came across right in the video, the fatboy was by no means worn out or past it... i just looked at the cost of upgrading it to a better spec and iron out the known weak link... and it was cheaper to actually buy a much better bike for the money.... a bike that will serve me an dPenny a lot better for a lot longer.. thanks for watching buddy.
The countryside reminds me a bit of the area around the Norfolk Broads. I spent some time around there and West London (Ealing) in my misspent youth (the late 70's) on a 850 Norton Commando MkII that had some Dunstall work done to it. I like your new bike. I'm not a Harley fan. I've only ever ridden a SoftTail and a Road King for short rides. I'm more into roadsters and sport/touring bikes. My bikes have to handle (not scrape bits) when I ride in the twisties. I'm an ex-Californian that now lives in southern Oregon.
Your new bike looks classic and has the Harley styling that appeals to my tastes. The cast headlight assembly and the bags are pure Harley old school. The colors are interesting without being garish. You've done yourself and Penny a treat by moving up to this Dyna. I don't know much about Harleys but this one is really nice... subtle and classic. Well done. Thumbs up!
Thank you buddy, that's very kind - I think we probably have different interpretations of what twisties are lol here in England, every road is a twistie, even some of the freeways lol ! In my experience, this Dyna handles better than any other Harley, including Sportsters... but then that's what they're designed to do !
I have a buddy that rides an old Panhead (AMF) and he told me to test ride a Road King, back when I was looking for a bike in 2003. I didn't like it. It didn't fit my riding style... mountain roads and canyon twisties. I got a Beemer instead. It's gone now. Love your channel, especially the builds. So creative and interesting. You are a great teacher.
Smashing bike that...
very nice scoot Del - I really like the paint (and it's not Matt black :) ) , glad to see you both making time to do some sun miles .
Too right buddy... getting out tonight for a ride in the sunshine, even down here i nte softy south we dont see this very often...!!! See you at Stormin buddy. !
i want to thank you for the great videos! you've got a friend in san diego,keep up the good work, rob
Thanks Rob, great to hear from you... especially from San Diego, we have many viewers from there, it seems we must be kindred spirits !
Lovely bike, health to enjoy.
Best Wishes, Brendan.
Hi Brendan, how lovely to hear from you again... hope you're well over there, did you get the shed finished?? Good health and blessing to you all, keep in touch, Del & Pennyx
I love the new bike. Congrats ;-)
Smart move man and wonderful choice!
Thanks Abouzar, hope you're enjoying the summer!
Great business Del,,,,and a cool looking bit of kit. You cant get better views than in this country
Yes mate, there are some beautiful places in the world, and it's hard sometime to realise that one of the most beautiful is right under your nose !
I'm thinking the same thing with my 06 road king and thinking about getting the same bike you got.
Nice wheels
You made a great decision Del, looking forward to seeing more videos with the Dyna!
Cheers buddy, gonna de-cat the exhaust this weekend !
delboy, i dont believe you have a cat in your system, looks to be a full aftermarket system already , i believe a V&H propipe...
Well spotted Rich,,, the bike has a full V&H Propipe system for now, but ill be decatting the factory pipe i got with the bike.. it has the two-into-one header with the cat in the jpoining part... its an easy fix with a welder and grinder, and will be a great way to open up the header.... i dont like the Propipe, so ill be maybe fitting some V&H shots instead when i can afford them, or maybe the cleared out factory header which is a great design, and a nice open muffler, see if it can do it on a budget..
dont limit yourself to just short shots, many members of the switchback owners site ( switchbackowners.proboards.com/ ) have found that even though the manufacturers state a pipe wont fit the switchback all you need is 1/4" spacers on the floorboard to get them to clear.. propipe too loud for you?? if so keep in mind that you can get different baffles for it..
You'll love the next two videos then Rich... Just about to post today's, a 10 minutes video on removing the Cat from the factory header.... and on Wednesday ill be making a cool ghetto fix for taking away some of the deep echo you get in the Propipe... its not too loud, (thats impossible), its just not a nice sound, too much resonance, so this mod to the baffle will cut up the sound waves and make it a lot more solid sounding, without loosing volume... both the next two videos are free option fixes for Switchback pipes.... and aint they the best.. lol
lovely bike,,
not a crom guy but i really like your bike very nice color congrats on the new to you bike
Hi Del, very nice. The two colour paint does lift it. I always think bikes can't be so bland these days with very little colour.
Enjoy, see you out on the road soon
Thanks Tim, black is a colour also my friend lol lol ... good to hear from you mate... catch up with you soon !
Lovely bike Del, congratulations. I like that big front mudguard and front light. Great. New Bike ... new Hairstyle !!! I can´t do that anymore even buying a new bike. Its gone, but I save in shampoo hhha . thanks Gus
Aw shucks, you noticed ! And there's me thinking I would get away with it... lol Thanks buddy !
