1978 FLH BUILD, PAGE 5
I made the billet aluminum floorboards and oil coolers in my shop using my CAD/CAM C.N.C machine. Being able to do in-house CNC work doesn't hurt when you are building a bike. The design on my floorboards pays homage to the town in which I live. Gainesville Georgia is nicknamed the "Chicken City" due to the tremendous influence the poultry industry has on our economy. The oil coolers are my own personal design and actually cool better than most store bought units.
The exhaust is a set of Vance & Hines Longshots. The baffles are installed at the rear of these pipes by the manufacturer but I moved them as far forward as possible and reversed them. It sounds good and makes a plenty of power. Oh yeah, these came off of a late model twinkie but a little rebending made them fit the evolved shovel quite nicely. I have a set of 2.5" shorty baffles that I can slide into the rear position if I am going to have to travel through a town with one of the new noise ordinances.
