That isn't politically correct.
Was just looking at some front dual auxilliary light LED kits from Custom Dynamics, and they are using Cree’s LEDS. Not sure how many other of their products use them.I wish they would use cree LEDs vs German sources but such is life!
If you want to turn night into day, look here. They have listings for HD.Was just looking at some front dual auxilliary light LED kits from Custom Dynamics, and they are using Cree’s LEDS. Not sure how many other of their products use them.
I know there’s always a few complainers leaving negative reviews, but be sure to read the reviews on the parts page if you are looking at the ones I am thinking about. Also check out the Utah Harley parts page. They are discounting some HD parts pretty nicely.I need to pony up for the HD accessory driving lights kit, to mount on my crash bar. I've got some nice amber LED lights to put in, but need the buckets, wiring, etc.

Probably not a bad strategy. I’m still polishing out the big scuff I managed to put in one of my hard bags installing the additional rear LEDs. Just ordered some McGuires Mirror Glaze to polish out the swirl marks from the polishing compound.I'd be having the dealer do the install as I'm all thumbs & have 2 left feet with electrical crap & swap the innards once it's done. I'll have to buy it from them, but they give me a 10% military discount & their service dept. is awesome.
Service Manager is super cool & always takes good care of me on the rare occasions I've had to bring the bike to them.

Still check the reviews. On the lights I was looking at there were some premature failures or other issues, and the reviews were pretty sketchy on the ones I was looking at. The Custom Dynamics seem to do a better job overall with their actual lighting than HD, but you’d still need to get the chrome housings from HDI pieced together all the pieces-parts for the long discontinued tach kit for my '02 FXD. Downloaded the factory instructions, grabbed my factory service manual & set to it. Tach worked great, but dead speedo. Had to take it to dealer. They thought speedo was toast & sent it out for testing & repair. Speedo shop says it's GTG. There was an error in the instructions & they had my bike over 2 weeks, before they found the error in the wiring. Only charged me $200 & I know damned well they had way over 2 hours shop time in it, along with whatever it cost to send the speedo out.
I do most everything myself from cams/bearings/lifters swap to building the FL forks on my Super Glide, but when something's outside my skill level, I go to Down Home.
They just stopped making the Dyna line of HD’s, so you better buy it. I don’t what the heck they were thinking.I did all of the maintenance on my bikes that I was able to do. The one job that I absolutely hated was changing the oil in the fork tubes. Since I don't have a bike now, and likely never will, I don't have to worry about it.
But, there is a very nice '05 FXDI over here that I've been ignoring as much as I can.
My wife keeps saying, “What are these boxes that keep coming in?!".That HD is living up to its name, "Hundred Dollars" everytime you turn around!

Pretty close. $350 all in.That seat is four HDs
I put a Saddlemen on mine......1500ish break in miles.....it's getting better but damn it's hard....the passenger seat seam is to high and my wife has a hard time with it....saddlemen said "sorry we can't do custom work"Pretty close. $350 all in.
Which was actually a bargain compared to all the others. I’m tall so this one sits me back an inch or two, and two inches wider than factory. I’m not fat. Just big. I’ll work on the break-in tomorrow.
A Corbin seat in leather was going to be $900. I ain't paying that kind of scratch.
You did right. I've ass-tested a dozen Corbin seats of all shapes and every single damn one of them was hard as a freakin rock. I believe the parent company is quick-crete.A Corbin seat in leather was going to be $900. I ain't paying that kind of scratch

I have to say that you singularly give new meaning to the term “iron butt rider”. My ass starts to get sore after 100 miles in the stock seat although it is great for short hops. If I can put down three hours and be comfy I’ll be happy.I just broke my ass into my stock seat. After 8-10 hours a day, your butt gets tired of just about any seat.
I just shared this with my buddy who has the Indian. His has a great looking leather solo seat but it is too hard for him. He’d be hard pressed to find a better looking seat. Hope they can fix him up.I bought a Corbin for my dresser. It felt hard as a brick but was very comfortable to sit on. I wanted to like it but it put me rearwards a couple of inches, just what @fieldgrade needed. I sold it and got a Mustang. It worked pretty good. I could run a tank of gas out without butt hurt.
My last bike, I sent the factory seat to Mean City Cycles. http://www.meancitycycles.com/ I had the seat narrowed just a little bit in the front and memory foam put in. They even provided a relief area to take pressure off the prostate. It was the best seat I'd ever sat on and looked original. I shipped my seat and had it back to me in 6 days. They are local to most of you, in Maiden, NC.
It's been 8 or 9 years since the re-worked my seat but, they did an excellent job and the turnaround time was lightning fast. I talked to them on the phone before I sent my seat and they were very easy to work with and very helpful to guide me into what I was looking for. I was having some prostate issues at that time and they knew exactly what to do to my seat to make it more comfortable.I just shared this with my buddy who has the Indian.
