I hoping all you dog owners having made it past the first 500 miles can offer some suggestions for this newbie.
Except for the forward control option and a windscreen (I know it doesn't look all that cool but with bugs the size of birds it does help) its 100% stock. During the first 500 it sneezed at bit at 2500 rpm all the way to 3000 rpm when holding a constant speed so from the responses it needs to be enriched a bit - my dealer/wrench says he can install the jet kit used when changing pipes and air cleaners and even stock it will work just fine. Any thoughts, is this guy right they can install the jet kit and all will be well. I want to be sure the wrench knows what he's doing and where better to check. I will have them install the oil cooler at the same time. As for Pipes, after reading all the blogs I am not all the comfortable making a decision just yet - the V&H Big Radus Two into One looks appealing as its not too much louder than stock which my neighbors appreciate having had a set of Rinehardts on my Fat Boy. I also spoke with Vicki before she fell ill and ordered a K&N airfilter which I will install after the wrench is done.
So far I have to say the dog has worked well, doesn't idle too well and the oil light flickers when stopped at a light but a little throttle cure that until the wrench makes adjustments. I do enjoy reading the interaction and gather knowledge - thanks guys!!
