I have had this bike now for 1 year.The 1st 6 months I loged over 10,000 miles on it.More complements than complaints so far,1st I hope harley will look into what the public has to say about this bike.They advertize it as their new custom and that is true to a point,but lets get real if they want to get into customs they should let us the customer, who are buying the bikes.Let us build them to order.A car I can order options and have it built they way i want!.I know they want to get them out to the public as cheap as they can, but come on we are the ones keeping you in business. My big problem is the down time to get it set up the way I wanted it. My bike as it sits right now is around $32,000.00 about the same that I would have paid for a custom.One thing that really frosted my ass is that if u burn an led or crack a tail lens you have to replace the whole thing wiring and all.Cost $209 dollors for 1 tail lens.For any of you that plan on any long rides, I would put the 2 up seat that I have,it gives you real good back support.Also if you have a wife or girlfriend and you want to keep them! get this set-up. I know it dont look as cool as the flip out seat.But you know what they say if moma aint happy aint hard to find a new moma with a cool bike like this.Just kidding Teresa I do want to stay married so I got the 2 -up seat, plus you can take off the seat and there is a cool luggage rack under it!Also if you had any motor work done.the 2-up seat will help keep you on the bike! and I am not kidding .Now on to my bike I will start with the motor I had 103 big bore kit put in with SE cams and SE Exhaust and air cleaner plus SE race tuner.I was not impressed with the preformance that I got out of this big bore kit from harley .So I went with 625 t-man cams chain drive,adjustable SE push rods, SE heavy air breather Vance & Hines Big Raidous turn down slash cut pipes,SE race tuner,but also had to have the heads clearanced to fit new cams.Now this bike will snap you back in every gear and you best be holding on.Now for the wheels the are custom built by RC components out of bowling green KY. From my stock 19" front wheel I went to a 21" chrome spinning preditor rim, the back is still a stock 240 but also a chrome spinning predator rim. I installed 16"apes with flamed grips,braided brake and clutch cabels,smoked front turn signals,custom HD gold eagel mirrors.I installed HD spedo tack combo.Under the tank and around the bike I have blue neon lights.front pegs are flamed switch blade style that when folded out make a floor board. Also HD flamed foot boards for the passanger. Flamed brake pad .The 2-up seat is from the cw model ,but works on cwc you will need to put support under seat if using stock cwc seat.This I did by using 2 springs that ride under the seat,The pins that are located under stock seat drop into middel of springs.And if you still want that solo look the 2-up seat comes off leaving a nice chrome luggage rack. I relocated back tag on fender to side mount with light.I also took off that stupid light on the back fender. Using the HD badge that is for the gas tank on the rocker. I then shaped badge to fit on rear fender covering 3 of the 4 holes in rear fender.For the 4th hole that wiring ran through I use a little skull tag plate mounting bolt.I also have a smoked detachable sport windsheild that I use sometimes.Well I hope you like the bike and if you have questions please contact me for part numbers ect amejorado@hotmail.com

Now with the new 625 t-man cams its got great responce in every gear.I have peged out 120 on my speed tack combo,I forgot to look at the rpms number I know it was not in the red. here in wyo there is no traffic.On some roads I can ride 50 to 100mile without seeing a hand full of cars.Yesterday I road to lander 23 miles away running 80 to 100 constant and was only able to pass 11 cars.Thats all that there was!
