2012 Sreet Glide

[Firecat]

Here is my ride. Vivid black with Bagger Nation 12" apes, Arlen Ness Big Sucker air cleaner. V&H hi-output 2 to 1 Stainless steel pipes, detachable tour pak, Woods TW555 cams, TTS Mastertune.

Nice scooter!

How do you like the cams??

 

[Firecat]

The cams really woke it up midrange. The pipes may be a little much for the build, although I am pulling 105lbs of torque. There could be some improvements on the bottom end. If I can't tune the little stumble I have in first gear I'll go back to the V&H pro pipe and retune. The hi-output pipes are really better suited for higher displacement engines with some headwork. I told myself I wasn't going there with this bike.
Cheers!

Looks sweet, I was looking at the saddlebag guard kit as well, how much of a pain was it to install?

 

[Firecat]

Thanks Sapper....I had the dealer install the gaurds and the apes. They didn't charge me labor on the gaurds because I gave them the support bars they had to remove.

I installed the saddlebag guards. If I remember correctly, it was very easy and only took maybe an hour.

 

[SapperLDMorgan]

thanks for the quick responses Firecat and Jackoh, they seem like a pretty smart investment, good to know it may not be as complicated as the instructions make it look.

They are an easy install I helped a buddy put his on last summer. I am going to install the comfort profiles on my scooter this coming summer or as money permits.

 

[Firecat]

What are comfort profiles?

 

[SapperLDMorgan]

on the comfort profile bars, the top of the bar has more of a downward curve to them, i think it is for better rear passenger comfort on the back of their legs. at least that is what it looks like in the pictures

 

[Jackoh]

They are a saddlebag guard that is lower on the top than the bag so the passenger's legs clear them.

 

[Firecat]

Interesting...I'll have to check em out.....I'm all about keeping her highness comfy!

 

[deep purple]

Installed the Chrome Saddlebag Guard kit today, a lot less complex than the instructions would have you believe,

 

[Jackoh]

They look good. I thought the install was pretty simple as well. Your bike looks great and I really like the wheels.
