GR8FLH- my build/mods thread

DED HD · #1 09-03-2010, 10:21 AM

I have been on other forums where a member has his own thread to show what he has done with the bike, and rather than searching though pages and pages of pictures, its a little more simple to just have your own thread. So Heres mine:
The day i picked up my Scarlet Red off the showroom floor.

Added a Grateful Dead Steal Your Face Derby Cover, and HD Wind deflectors.

While in Sturgis, at 3,500 miles, I had all 3 fluids changed to Amsoil Synthetic.

Next I added a Power Commander V from Fuel Moto and Arlen Ness Stage II Derby Sucker and added another GD Steal Your Face Cover. Used a Cooling Map supplied from Fuel Moto to richen up the A/F mix a bit. Bike is running great now!

Also I added stock passenger boards for my girlfriend( had some on my Street Glide and my she really missed having them). I was able to find some from here on this forum for free!!! Just had to go to the Dealer and get the Hardware. Cost me $12! Thank you!

Last weekend I made some glove box liners out of some grey auto carpet i had laying around to keep things from banging around. Actually, my mother did all of the work on those as a birthday gift. What a sweetheart! She even hand sewed velcro on so they can be removed

thats it so far...more mods to come.(looking for a new horn cover, waiting on floorboard extensions from Harley-Goodies, hopefully some black 12"-14" apes, and new Rinehart Xtreme 2 into 1, and black out some more parts)
Oh and getting my inner Fairing replaced under warranty, and upgrading to Vivid Black Painted Inner
5,600 miles in 2 months and cant wait to ride it more.
Got caught in a hard rain coming home from work last night, but it quit as soon as I got home and took this picture with the Rainbow

Thanks for looking!

Oh and I almost forgot, i have a Windvest 10" smoked windshield and bought a new HD rubber seal so I dont have to remove it from windshield on to the other. Much better for 2 up riding and long trips or cold weather. And you can see my sheepskin I cut to fit the seat, and sewed elastic straps on the front and back to hold it in place. Sheepskin is so nice on long trips and for hot and cold weather riding.
