Ride a TC. Modified and reinforced a cross country seat and mounted it on my TC. Added Wunderlic oil cooler chrome cover. Modified chrome diesel truck exhaust tips and attached to Freedom Performance exhaust.

She looks great! The yin and yang of your snowblower and TC parked together would be perfect on a motivational poster to get out and ride!
 
I put the DNA filter in, left off the stupid intake tubes and went for a ride. It was kind of neat actually seeing, hearing, and feeling the computer make adjustments for the new air flow. Only about 150 more miles for the 600 mile service and then the Bren tune is getting done...
 
I picked it up:

The Wunderlich chrome oil cooler cover looks great. I did not know it existed.

C’mon square up those screw heads 😎

How do you suggest this be done? I suggest getting some copper appropriate sized security star drive screws. Any out of alignment lines or angles that may be unattractive to some eyes and brain will not be as noticeable and it will offer more security to protect the badges.

This can't be right:

First tank I averaged 45.3 but this is actually MORE range than my GS Adventure. So it seems non-interstate, this bike is superior to the GS for local road touring which is really impressive. I only have 2 fill ups but my GS is averaging 38.5 MPG over 24K miles, my K75 averages 40.9, Husky 701 at 53.8 and this big beast at 45.3.

IMPRESSIVE!
 
Yeah,I really like the fender on mine too.Really cool and looks great with the 19 or 16 inch tire.

Good Job!

Gilles, the seat looks like the BMW accessory seat for the bobber kit. Is that the BMW accessory seat ?

if so,....Question, how comfortable is that seat compared to the stock seat ? In terms of cushioning. It looks great thin and uncomfortable to me, would like to know your opinion. LMK thanks
 
It is a R25 seat I have adapted (search for my topic), confort is ok for me as the seat is larger than the stock one
