Another cam swap (bigger), chrome rockerboxes, and maybe either a springer front fork, or a true wideglide, not a conversion.
My issue is that unless it's below 30* outside, I'll ride, so I hate having the bike down more then 1-2 days. Those are all 1 day jobs.....
I was thinking of paint.....that's more then 1-2 days.

I wouldn't mind bobbin' off the back fender, relocating the tail light and putting in the narrowing kit on the rear turn signals. Then I can start looking for the springer front end.
But at this time, the medical bills are piling up so high, I'll be lucky not to lose the whole bike.....

I have plans to do some work on the front brakes. It's never
felt very good, way to much lever pull. The dealer has worked
on it a couple of times with not much change, so probably a
rebuild. Also plan on doing a handlebar swap to Drag bars,
and not really sure what else will fall into the plans. I'm like
Dave, if it's at least 35-40 I'll be riding, as long as there is no
snow on the streets.
Regards Sonny

My 81 shovel is getting a trans shift fork repair and new mainshaft seal plus a whole new wire harness and maybe neck bearings .
My buds 83 flhs ( enclosed chain ) is getting a rebuild on the trans , real fun .
Got a guy with a 72 fx that wants some major $ stuff done .
I kinda push the shovel stuff off till the winter months because they always seem to take up so much time .

I have a huge laundry list of todo stuff.. most is minor and cosmetic. I'll get down the list as money permits of course.
09' 1200L
-new intake.. NRHS builds a round styled one now
- Narrow 12" apes
-replace headlight with custom mount to lower fork stabilizer, remove brow
-relocate ignition and coil and add custom length red plug wires
-2" tank lift and clean up the wires under the tank
-turn signal relocation
-lowering kit -probably lower an inch or two
-some grips, pegs and maybe a new gas cap
-might powdercoat a few parts..
--and I would love to do cams, but I think I may hold off on those
that should keep me busy..
