Hi guys and greetings from Finland! I´ve got Street Glide Special 2019 which is actually imported from Texas in the beginning of the 2021. It was a bit damaged there and repaired. I know it can be risky to purchase chrashed bike but this one has worked very well and during three summers / 36 000 kilometres there hasn´t been big problems, just normal caused by wear and tear.
First summer went basically without any modifications. There was already Rinehart pipes and some other minor changes, but nothing to engine. Early 2022 we did a few things to get the bike running better.
• Arlen Ness Monster Sucker air filter
• Zipper’s #517-318B Red Shift Cams 468 Zip Kit
• S&S Tappet Cuffs
• S&S Oil Pump and Feuling Cam Plate Kit
• Arlen Ness Deep Cut stuff which I don´t know in English well like horn kit, saddlebag latch, floorboards for the front, brake pedal, gear shifter and rod, hand grips, highway pegs, mirrors
• Side cheeks and fender
• Dynamometer which we got 100 hp and 175 Nm of torque
Bike changed dramatically with this setup. Sound is perfect and with the more power and torque it´s really cool to drive. Sometimes I even manage to catch my wife (riding BMW1250RS...)
Original clutch worked 10 000 kms with this setup (total 38 000 kms) and had to get some EBC carbon/kevlar plates in there.
Later on got Rockford Fosgate stage 3 and changed the antenna to inside version. Last summer had a hole in the seat and the best guy doing these in Finland got it custom made, and now it´s much better although there´s nothing wrong with the original.
Ordered performance series chin spoiler from Baddad last spring and it fitted perfectly. These made in USA custom parts are quite expensive to import to Finland because you have to pay freight, tax and customs.
Let´s see what next. I have some things to wheels. Been looking 21 fat tire kits to make front better looking. Also suspension might get some new parts. But I´ve also been looking a bit few Road Glides and friend of mine is building a Swedish style chopper for me.
Most of the pics are taken in our MC´s garage.
