Well, I've had my Sundowner solo seat and pillion on for nearly a week. I haven't been able to ride that much but I did ride for awhile today. Although the seat is much firmer than my old seat it seems to be very comfortable on the highway. I think I am going to like it for me....the important factor is whether my wife will like the wider pillion when she rides with me. It is 12 1/2" wide compared to the 8 1/2" width of the sport seat that it replaces. I also installed the wider contoured backrest pad. I'll let you guys know how she likes her half of the seat whenever she rides with me next.
While I was around a Harley shop today I stopped in to look for an air cleaner cover insert. The one I have had on has the gold flames and HD insignia. The gold part of the flames was starting to turn kinda brown so I bought the chromed billet looking insert. And while I was there I bought a new rack for the back replacing the round tube one that I use for the rack bag. Damn it's so much fun to spend money on my bike.......until the wife sees the check-book that is!
The solo and pillion are both a half inch wider than the one piece Sundowner.. I was really getting it for a wider passenger seat anyway. The Solo has a cradeling contour that really feels great along with a narrow front that is nice for constant feet-down stop and go traffic like I encountered in Daytona. I really like the looks of it better also.
I recently purchased my first Harley a 2001 Fat Boy FI. Best bike I have owned. I want to start making some changes to fir my own style. One of the things I want to do is remove the dash panels and have them powder coated. Looks to be a pretty simple job to remove it and all the parts...
So, Ive got two FXDX bikes. One, a 99, the other an 04, carbed, and both have comparable mods.
The 99 has 37k miles, a Thunderheader, Big Sucker intake, stock pistons and SE 204 cams, and made 86 lb ft and 79 hp on the dyno.
The 04 has 56k miles, a Supertrapp 2-1 with closed end...
I have had two local places recommend Comp cams lifters 850-4 saying they are good and American made.
Are they a good lifter? Compared to other aftermarket lifters like S&S?

What cam would work best in my 2010 SG stock 96"motor? A 48H or 57H
The 48H max [email protected] rpm and the 57H 2200-5600rpm.
I want a cam that comes on reasonably early. The 57H seems to come on a bit earlier and go out a bit further at the same time.
What is it that I am missing here. If...
