..........till winter rolls around again.

I've done what I set out to do over the winter. I ran a little long getting it done but I've done everything to it I'm going to do until the season is over. I've done the full/double Caddman kit, installed the Techlusion TFI, installed the air horn, the cruise control, hand grips, switch covers, a rack for the trunk, and finally ..... a replacement tire for the rear. Now it's time to ride. Here are a few photos ...some might be repeats from other threads, but have included everything I've done.

I want to thank everyone that had a hand in helping me get all this done. I really appreciate everyone's help and advice. What a great web site Trip.
Thanks BD, Doc, for your explanations and suggestions with the TFI settings, CJ for getting me the cruise control and all the advice and encouragement from you and "yellowjacket", kioti the rack and borto1990 for the switch covers. But most of all I have to thank The Academy.

I just finished about the same kind of upgrades except for the back trunk---after seeing yours, I'm debating that now, too. Love the look.

Stay away from Netnorski, man.

We thought his modaholism was in remission until a couple weeks ago. Nowadays he just mumbles something about, "Wife took credit card," and "Paypal takes cash anyway..."

If you get a PM from Kris about any of your mods, don't answer him. He's delusional, you know. Besides, he's probably already done it and just doesn't remember, since one of the symptoms of modaholism is Short-Term Memory Loss.

Just slap him with a wet salmon and tell his wife - she has his medication.

I think.

Hmm...

He might've sold the pills to pay for those 1-off baffles. http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif http://s2.images.proboards.com/shocked.gif http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif http://s2.images.proboards.com/shocked.gif http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

.... poor fella.

Don't be like, Kris. http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif http://s2.images.proboards.com/cheesy.gif http://s2.images.proboards.com/cheesy.gif http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

ROFLMAO.....Taranis that is awesome, but so very close to the truth! I have a few other mods in mind....but have to find a way to shake lose the credit card from the wife. She is guarding it like the the HoneyHole after a long drag-out.... http://s2.images.proboards.com/shocked.gif!

Rickyboy,
Looking good dude....nice job....hope to see it very soon!

Hey Ricky, you mind driving down south a couple thousand miles and doing that to mine? Never hurts to ask, anyway, that bike looks great and I know you're ready to burn some pavement. Jamie
