Sure, but may not get to that till Thursday when I actually use it. In the great white north, I go to work in the dark in the morning and come home in the dark in the evening lol
Been that way here for the past couple of months. Back on 8 hr. days for now though, with an occasional 10-12 hr. day here and there.

Just traded my 2014 Chieftain for the 2022 Chieftain Dark Horse (also converted my bride from Harley to a 2022 Chieftain as well). Over past 6 weeks, have had Stage 1 and 2 kits (Lloyd's 585 Cams) installed. I've put KST 6" Apaches, Kuryakyn Highway Pegs, Kuryakyn Brake pedal, Klockwerks 12" Windshield, Captain Itch Head Covers and Ultimate seat. Pretty happy with where it is right now!

Hey Roxanne, Nice bike. Does the front facing air cleaner get into the way of your leg at all? I have seen some say it is pushed out to far. Thanks
I’m 6’ and it clears better then a standard air cleaner for me with the stock seat. Even more room with the Corbin as it moves you back further

Flashed my bike with my PV3 for its first custom tune.

CraigB (a huge shout out to him) for supplying me with his custom tune as well as the Fuel Moto Tune.

I’m trying the FM tune first.

Again, many thanks for Craig’s expertise.

No pics of work but funny moment (or idiot moment, one of many):

Stable is cold and needed to pull battery and bring it inside. Also prepping for KST +6 that I ordered. Pulled headlight to get to plug for bar wires. 2019 so you "can" get to the plug from removing the headlight. Got main plug disconnected but it is zip tied somewhere I cannot see or get to. Sigh.

So I start pulling the outer fairing off. I remember you have to take the windshield off. Button not working. Idiot put the battery back in :rolleyes:.
Put battery back in and power her up. Try windshield, and nothing. Try starting and nothing. Have error on dash. Start panicking (thinking I fried something).
Start searching the error message and going over what I could have done in my head.
The plug.
You idiot the plug.
Plug bar wires back in, raise windshield, remove battery.

The handlebar job will be a little time consuming but the KST video of the road master, which is similar to the chieftain process, looks "fairly" easy (famous last words).

Bought bike with stage 3 kit. Added dynojet, Tune from Craig here on the site (what a difference). The dealership, I am not sure if they actually did anything at all as far as tune. Bike sucked for a 116 with a cam prior to the tune I got from this great community. Have extended, extended, custom kickstand (I am so short), Arnott air ride (get low baby), then just some cosmetic changes like the sissy bar.

Oh one custom piece is using degreaser on all the painted metal parts. If anyone wants to know how to ruin their gloss or flat black pipes and other assorted parts, just send me a message. I can get you all squared up. In all fairness the degreaser and soap are the same color in similar bottles. Idiot.

Would love to see pics if your “extended extended custom kickstand.” My wife has a 2022 Chieftain as well, in which we had the Arnott System put on, as well as Indians extended reach kickstand - though it’s entertaining to watch the many ways she’s invented to get the kick up - it would be good to have a functional kickstand.

I will get some. There is a video I found somewhere in which a lady had a friend fabricate something, and I sent that to the dealer, and they kind of fabricated something for me and just charged labor. I planned on switching it out with something like this:
Chrome Kickstand Extension

However it still needed some additional bending and I never got around to it.

I will snap some pics at some point and post back up. Yah what sucks about the bike is even if you lower it, still cant reach the damned kickstand!!

@Mojo514 This is the solution the dealership came up with. Unfortunately this design has gouged my primary, so you have to be careful of that. I think the link I sent you above is a much better option for home job, and would probably accomplish the same thing.
