All spiked up....& ready to go!

[Chopper Dave]

Gas cap came from my dealer. The cap has a raised skull. I have an idea for a new cap though. Looking into a pop-up cap painted the same color as the bike with the flames running through it...essentially hiding the cap . IMHO the cap takes away from the tank graphics.

The downtube stickers definately need to go...maybe next weekend...if I touch the sled again this weekend my wife might accidentally sell it while I'm out of town this week. :argue:

looks awesome! What's it like with an all chrome grip...I'm too afraid of my hands slipping off.

I have formed the habit of always wearing gloves, which help a lot with the all-metal grips - and, provide some rider protection as well.

I think it was Gas that siliconed his axle spikes to his axel. good call becasue I lost one today. Most people know that I ride my bike like I stole it but still that dab of silicone may save some aggrivation.

It wasn't the axle the spikes... it was the handlebar spikes... but that makes me think!

I purchased silicone on my way home from work last night...a little dab'll do ya! I'm considering making my spike fork covers sticky too.

I know...but everytime I read Gas' thread on 'Rebirth of the Phoenix' I realize I'm still a damn newbie. Big Dog fever is running rampid through my family...Yesterday my brother picked up his 2007 K-9 in Arkansas-gotta a steal-$5,000 in mods, only 1,300 miles on it and bought it for $24K even http://www.bigdogbiker.com/forums/general/2798-all-family.html. My dad and brother took the BDM tour on their way to Arkansas and now my dad is going to purchase a 2008 K-9. This year's Sturgis trip is going to be a family affair. The three of us are meeting in Grand Junction, CO and driving together to Sturgis...the wives will follow behind in the RV. Damn...life is good!

Gotta watch out for that factory tour - it's often a helluva lot more expensive than the free admission!

Exactly...my brother said the same thing when we walked out of the factory w/$700 worth of merchandise, etc. Hopefully Brian (in sales and he gives the tours) is getting a commission on product sales...I dropped $500 after my tour...:2thumbs:

...we walked out of the factory w/$700 worth of merchandise, etc.

I felt fortunate this time just dropping $400 - but then, it was Valentine's day, so I picked up some stuff for my cutie.

And part of the cost was a jacket for Raywood - he wanted one that they only sell at the factory store. Maybe he'll get Glenda to model it again, like he did with his leather coat. If you don't know what I mean, check out his calendar month (April).
