Sure, beats my 32-34 MPG, and that's NOT twist'nnn the throttle, I ride very conservative, and stay w/in the speed limit, my days of "need for speed" have been over, years ago. At 74yrs old, I get my enjoyment, from just take'n, relax'n rides, whenever possible....

Power came on after 46 hours (not complaining, thankful it was only that long), didn't open the fridge (there wasn't much in in since we are on a 6 week trip starting Thursday) but will toss what was in there. Freezer did well but I moved stuff to my Yeti @43 hour mark - Yeti's are awesome BTW almost all the stuff stayed frozen except the ice cream for the granddaughter. Lots of tree branches to include one that fell where I normally park the car but I moved it the day before so no damage. Wind gusted to well over 110 and we did get some rain that came in under the door but noticed it quickly so it did not hurt the wood floor. All in all, we were VERY lucky and I am thankful we did not suffer damage like so many, especially in Pinellas County. Macdill AFB is closed except for mission essential personnel, so I can't check on my RV that is in storage there hoping for the best. Lots of damage there that you can see in the FB page. But Iike I told the wife, "that's why we have insurance."
Thanks for that, I did buy a Chinese Kit off eBay along with other bits, As usual I overthink things and this is turning into more than I wanted it to be. "Never before was Simplicity so Complicated" I have no desire to variable adjust pressure on the go, all I want is a air bag system that I can top up if required either when starting first thing or whilst riding and with a capability of latching the compressor on if a slow leak threatens to ruin a ride.
I want to utilize wireless pressure gauges on all air points, on the front and both rear wheels and for the air bag setup with a view screen on the bars, I want a handlebar control switch and I want the compressor to have big readable digital readout and be variable but only when stationary. I think I have achieved all this but only in the fitting up will I know if I got it right and on a very tight budget, all this can be done easily if you have a bottomless wallet and are prepared to let the local workshop work it out for you, I hope to do the lot for a bit less than $600.00aud including the ($355.00 aud) bags delivered. Any constructive criticism is welcome along with better ideas?
Are you looking for front or rear or both?
NAPA parts numbers;
front--TS7487M for a 2012 Toyota FJ Cruiser 4.0 L rear pads
rear-- TS-7976-X for a 2005 Ford Five Hundred rear pads
The statement at the end of the numbers "rear pads" means the pads were off that area of the original vehicle. The designation in front or the statement is the fitting on the Stallion.
The calipers on the front are custom made for TBMS for the Stallion. The rear calipers are from the Ford 500 but the calipers are switched when put on the Stallion. The one for the right rear off the ford 500 is used on the left side of the stallion and the switch is the same for the other side. This was so TBMS could use the E-Brake setup.
We're finding some outstanding eateries up here in NW Florida
Had some Thai last night: Pad Woon Sen. Glass noodles with egg, shitake mushroom, bell pepper, carrots, onions, broccoli, and celery. Dessert was mango sticky rice
mine is the way i want it now.. so NO i will not buy another HD has gone STUPID. my 20 Tri runs just fine .. at 80 y o, not sure if a new HD is worth the $$
Ride'n with the same speed as the traffic does help a bit......... I find when in a hurry, we always drive faster than usual....
Why is it, that when there's a car drive'n slowly in front of you, you're cursing them, come on you jerk, go faster, BUT when a car passes you, you yell, slow down, you idiot........lol
"think" about what I just posted.....It's true!

I put the FP4 on my 2007 Harley Softail. I used their canned tune in the beginning, then ran auto tune for about 150 miles. I picked up 2 MPG overall. I'll probably run it one more time to get it dialed in a little more.
I bought the Tuner to correct a running lean issue from the previous owner installed Vance and Hines exhaust system
The newer bikes have a lot of extra wire in there, just put a set of handlebars on a 21-Road Glide plenty of cable there. They were dominator handlebars If you call them, they may make you a set a few inches longer on each side ?
Didn't get any work done on the frame today but below is what I have done recently
Cover plate
Transmission bracket. I had to readjust it for it would fit in the frame without moving the point where the transmission bolts are
BTW the yellow marks are pints I need to lookat for 1 reason or another
Several things to consider.
That is a very old engine (1950's)
Not a lot of parts availability.
Not much in aftermarket or performance parts.
Mated to the correct trans it will not like 70mph.
The generator stand being cast in will mean it will have to stay 6 volt.....unless you spend the big bucks for an old style Porsche genny.
On the plus side.
36hp is enough.
60mph rural roads ok.
simple
you have it.
I would encourage a later model engine....like 73 and newer.
A 1600 dual port is what all the aftermarket and OEM parts are targeted for.
Even stock it can pull a larger gear (or taller tires) and keep up with traffic.
The Daytona cam is up for Biketoberfest. Hope Milton dies. We are planning on flying down on Monday. Fingers crossed.
Anyway you might get an idea of the wind there this evening and tomorrow morning...
