Rockford Fosgate<\/a> 6×9-inch speakers and matching amp. It\u2019s definitely and upgrade bagger faithful can appreciate even though it\u2019s not a bank-breaker with all of the audio bells and whistles. This was about optimization, not overkill.<\/p>\nThe same held true for the motor. Or when I asked Tom about upgrading versus going big: \u201cYeah, that\u2019s pretty accurate. I always try to make it something that didn\u2019t cost so much money that the average person couldn\u2019t achieve without bolt-ons. I wanted the best of both worlds with good looks and a better-running motor.\u201d Andrews 54 cams, Screamin\u2019 Eagle pushrods, and a Vance & Hines Fuel Pak went into and onto the powerplant to make better use of its new Rinehart pipes and Ness air cleaner.<\/p>\n
All of which would prove themselves on the trip to Sturgis. It took Tom two and a half days to make the East Coast run to South Dakota for the mother rally. He pushed the first two days (738 miles the first; 660 miles the second) to hit Klock Werks pre-Sturgis party. That third day was a leisurely 350 or so miles: \u201cI got a bunch of pictures at landmarks along the way. That was my fifth straight year, and I needed to ride. I\u2019ll be doing the East Coast ride in every year I can now.\u201d That ain\u2019t too shabby for a shop bike.<\/p>\n
