I seen it too...and it is a nice watch...and more than likely well deserved. 
...but Robin...a 143"er with a pro charger should be all you would ever need 

[rigidthumper]

I will not be tempted.  Just say no.  Really.
I sold the panhead to start the shop process.  Can't spend garage $ on toys.  Shop $ can be spent on concrete, building materials, wiring, lights, tools and shop supplies.  And a 250i.

 I installed the Glide Pro front motor mount today...then I took the bike out for a short ride around the block beings it was only 40* outside.
I must say it made a nice improvement to the bike.  I could instantly tell it had less vibration at idle and basically no vibration at all once the bike was moving.
I give the Glide Pro front motor mount 3 thumbs up.

Don't change it on my account! I usually figure it out eventually. Cams are exciting, but so is Gomer. And Sham Rock's avatar is pretty good, if I've got that right.

this is the one I had on the a few day ago. Good old Snidley Whiplash.

I now it's old news around here but how do you like your chain drive?

[No Cents]

 I like it a lot.
I just changed my rear sprocket out a few days ago from what I was running to one I fabbed up out of a saw tooth blank sprocket to match my wheels.
It dropped 1 1/2 pounds off the weight of the old steel sprocket.

 here is my old belt pulley and one of the sprocket saw tooth blanks I started with and one after I cut it out to match my pulley.
I painted the sprocket to give it that contrast look of my wheels and the old pulley.

 after yesterdays 50* temperature outside...Randy and I were able to get our bikes out for a nice little winter time ride. Next weeks forecast doesn't look like I'll be able to sneak in another ride.
So...I guess it's time to put the bike up on the lift and change out the tranny trap door and put in the Baker heavy duty throw out bearing in too.
This will be treading new waters for me because I haven't ever pulled the HD six speed tranny apart before.
Here goes nothing I guess.

[Templer]

When ya'll do the Baker throw out bearing try there inner clutch ramp.
                                It ISN'T A EASY PULL MODE!!!!!! 
                      Different angle for the clutch ramp!!
                                       I like it!!!!!!

 I got the trap door on today...but I'll need to pick up two new main shaft and counter shaft nylon locking nuts up tomorrow.
les was kind enough to give me the part number for them.
This was definitely a learning experience for me. I actually tapped the main shaft and counter shaft on too far and the tranny wouldn't spin by hand once I had it back in the housing. I gave the shafts a few taps backwards toward the primary side and it spins like butter.
When I looked in my service manual it showed a spacer between the shaft and the trap door bearing on the back side of the trap door...but my shafts didn't have this spacer when I tapped them out of the stock trap door for some reason. 
Anyone witnessed this before?
