A little... but it was like squeezing in an hr here and hr there. So no... not really. What I need is some good miles... but with this stuff and a crappy weather... no riding in a week or whatever...

The rally still looking like a possibility?

Looks good Gas. UC looks a lot cleaner with the Trunk removed.

Is the lic place mounting legal on the sporty though??

Damn man, looks fuckin good for a harley. I think I could get comfy in that seat too.

A few observations from my end.

*The windshield and hiway bars on the Sporty look terrible.
*The Willy G stuff looks awesome
*The UC looks incredible with the trunk off.

Nice job.

I agree with everyone else, the UC does look better with the trunk off. As for the sport, the only reason the highway pegs stand out is because the bike is all black. The windshield does take away a little, but it isn't anything huge. Over time it'll start to look funny without it.

As far as the electronic upgrades go, I'd like to look into a tach and temp gauge as well as a few other things after I get a new job. Small upgrades, but nice to have.

You did good, Gas. I actually feel motivated to learn more about this stuff. Now if I can only fight the laziness telling me to do it later..

I think it must be legal for the most part. Otherwise it wouldn't be on there... its stock HD.

As far as the highway pegs on the nite... they are a must for me with mid controls.

The chrome on it... well there is only a few parts of chrome... the highway pegs, engine bar, and pipes. We may change that next winter... but not now.

Look at what I found today...

No price tag
No keys

$24k according to the sales person

Stab Count of dealership personell by the Phoenix = 3

Hence, the cones.
