    This video is awesome. Hearing your reservations for several minutes over the cam, and the exhaust... and then seeing your face on first start. Yeah.

    I've watched so many of Jess's videos that she feels like a friend. I can see the rationale for upgrading a bike one loves rather than say changing the bike and possibly hating it. I've never found the perfect bike (after 55 years of road biking) but the closest I came to such was many years ago - my three back to back fantastic Kawasaki GTR 1000s. More recently I've cashed in my GTR1400 for a Honda Valkyrie Interstate. I'm beginning to think that such giant bikes are mainly good for posing. What reviewers imagine is often largely exactly that, and often far from the truth. The older one gets the more inclined one becomes to compromise / settle. And its way cheaper than endlessly searching for the Holy Grail. But I still hanker after my past - a 1960s British 650 with a kick start and the only fancy trimming - a coat of polish. Good luck Jess.

      If a restomod 63 Norton Atlas I know the owner and I don’t think he has found a buyer yet.
      My first Norton was a 1960 Norton Dominator 99 SS 600cc twin with open intake and exhaust, dual carbs, Dunstall valve train and a vertical OHV head from the factory racing program. Never outran by anything but a 500 Triumph wildly sprocketed. But it ran out of revs around 75 while I could cruise at 100.
      Finally went with the 955i Daytona because I wanted a fast bike that wasn’t going to cost an arm and leg to hit 11 secs above 125.

  • @yvette649

    I was just talking to my husband about how I got cams cause I wanted it to just boogie when I needed it, but now I feel like when you wear heels. You look and feel sexy but your feet hurt like hell when you're walking for too long. I love the sound and speed but after hours of riding it's too much. I wear ear plugs and that helps but it takes away from my music going over 70 mph on the highway which kinda sucks cause I LOVE singing to my songs. I mean, I hear it but I heard it way better before. Also I have more vibration on the bars. On the flip side I freakin LOVE the torque, the instant speed. Lady Rose FLTRXS is a beauty and a beast! You always sacrifice something. I love riding.

    I have an 06 Electra Glide with the S&S 475, mild headwork, SE air cleaner, Fueling oil pump, and a set of free flowing fishtails. I did this at 39k miles when I upgraded my cam tensioner. I figured I would punch it out to 98 CI at a later date but it never happened. I am at 121k and have had nothing but scheduled maintenance. I was at 96hp and 114 Tq. It likes 80 mph on the highway and I am running a 5 speed.

    When I got my Street glide I just had them do the stage 4 big bore kit right off the bat because I like HP and Torque, yes I lost a little bit of mileage of gas but not much. The bike likes to cruise at the 70, 80 mph with no problem and I know that if I needed to in order to get away from an idiot trying to ride my back end I can definitely walk away from them quickly then get back to cruising. Keep on doing your thing and stay safe.

Your reaction was EXACTLY like mine. My Dyno numbers were a lil bit higher 121/126 but that is probably due to my bike being newer..(my guess). Like ya'all we installed a HD clutch as well. I probably have put a couple thousand miles on my "new build" and ABSOLUTELY love it. THANK YOU for sharing your experience and I was STOKED that you all like the 475 too.

    I pretty much have the same bike as you. I had to learn to use the friction zone of the clutch more for low speed stuff like parking lots and round a bouts because the motor really does not like life much below 2500 RPM. Using the friction zone solves that issue and I sure like the rest of the power band. Pass a big truck/no problem!

    You just got your first lesson in Harly performance parts. Aftermarket (S&S) is waaaaay better to put your money in vs SE parts. Iam sure Chris set the sag for your rear shocks, but truthfully, putting a set of Ohlins on the rear, just makes the front suspension show how bad it is. When you have your front suspension done, you will be able the see how much the rear improved. I just had Ohlins installed on my front to go along with the rear Ohlins shocks on my RG. Iam mad, I waited so long!!..........Safe Travels

    It’s funny you mention repairs on old homes. House was built in ‘64 and we are smack dab in the middle of a kitchen remodel. We took it down to the studs and yep, we did find some horrors.
