Made me some new vent lines.... : V-Twin Forum: Harley Davidson Forums

I was tinkering around while I had the inner primary off (putting chrome one on) and made me some new vent lines for the tranny cover. I got the stuff at work and it's all 316L stainless steel. Should hold up just fine.

I think they look much better than the stock rubber ones.

Nice....you should let us know what you used and offer us a kit

I can easily give you guys the list of parts I used to make this with. The big thing is, welding up the mitered 90 degree elbow. I had the guys at the shop do it for me and then had our polishing department take care of the rest. I got maybe 30 bucks in it all.

Answering claydbal question.

I was away from motorcycles for a long time and did not know all the Harley models. I saw this FXDX on the dealers floor and really liked it, red and all. The price was right so I bought it. When I got the bike home I noticed that it looked like a dirt bike and very one that saw it said, I didn't know Harley made a dirt bike. You could almost see the top of the rear tire and the bike was way to high and very uncomfortable to ride. I did a lot of mods on this scoot and now it fits me like a glove.

Yes, it is a FXDX and I know that a lot of Super Glide Sport fans hate me for bastardizing it, but hay, who's making the note every month, right. The bike we bring home from the dealer is just the canvas to spark our imagination.

ohhhhh, i cant quit cryin. you killed a fxdx!!! its your scooter, but man, its sacrilege to kill the best handling dyna ever made. looks like the way you did it, you can return to stock tho, so you did good not butchering it.

can i beat ya out of the rear shocks?

Hey, you got to make it "yours" or why bother. Being "individualistic" is suppose to be part of the HD mystic after all.

I have received a few comments on mt RK project for "messin' up" a factory anniversary edition. Truth is, HD made a thousand of the things, they won't miss this one unit in historic scheme of things.

Sorry, I sold the shocks a long time ago with most of the FXDX take offs.
