Nice! Same powertrain as my Svartipilen 401. I just went with some more road friendly tires (Dunlop Mutant) to replace my worn Scorpion STRs, but I can probably still hit some dirt and gravel roads.
Been riding all week. Trying to get in that 1000 miles as quick as possible.
I just ordered Dominator Industries 12" Meat Hook Apes for my Street Glide. All pre-wired internally, internal throttle already wired, clutch and brake cable extensions as well. Everyone says you don't need the clutch and brake extensions and to just run them another way. I'd rather do the build the right way and not have cables where they shouldn't be and stretched out more than they should be. The whole kit isn't a bad price either. I'm sure I could have pieced it all together a bit cheaper, but not having to run wires and all that BS will save so much time. These will literally be plug and play for the most part.

I'm gonna lose my mind if they decide to salt the fucking streets again today because of the "possibly mixed with mild snow" in the forecast...
There’s little salt mounds by all the intersections in my neighborhood still lol, I’ve been trying to ramp them
I did 10s. You won't need the extensions for the brake and clutch. By "rerouting" you have to cut 5 or 6 zip ties to make some slack. I did need the harness extensions though, even though they say you don't for 10s.
Regardless, it's an easy job. Took me 3 hours including running all the wiring through the bars.
My advice, get some saddlebag guards on that bike too. Ask me how I know. ?
It was a beautiful day so I rode to work Wednesday afternoon.
Got home that night and went to put it away. I use a dolly to get it as close to the wall as possible since I don't have a lot of space in the garage. Started to ride onto the dolly, front wheel was lined up fine. I think the back wheel wasn't lined up the best and when it got up onto the dolly it rubbed on the channel it rides on. It started to go over and I tried to catch it but I think my foot slipped on the mess of dirt and salt from parking the car. She went all the way over. The engine guard mostly did its job, but took some damage. No big deal, I can pull it off and have it powdercoated. The right saddlebag did hit also, so there's a small spot where the paint is fucked.

I think I'm going to get some vinyl graphics made for the bags that will cover that up and get some bag guards ASAP
Years ago, like 2006 I met my Father, Brothers at the bar.
I was all happy, forgot to put the kick stand down on the Heritage.
Fortunately with my crash bars it did not go over but Ya, like you said Heavy fucker and your bike is even heavier
