New mods
Was at my best friend chernmax's home this weekend in Maryland with my wife and we had a great time with his family. He installed a few mods for me. kcmaxx thanks for the idea for the short shift. Braided the hoses, installed a Optima red top power cell and custom polished billet aluminum battery bracket with 2- 24K marine battery posts.

Nice choice on the Optima, when my stock one dies, that is what I am going for.

Jayzmax04, Warren is correct, for mine I used a mini hack saw (smaller version then a regular), most people don't realize how strong the steel shifter is, however when we were doing Warrens ride, I used my recipricating saw 
to cut/modify his old battery posts for the new Marine terminals.
It was getting late and this was the last mod of the day and I was dreading the 30 minute cut, then bingo, since I had my medal blade in, I attached a pair of vice gripes to the top of the handle for Warren to hold the shifter still while cutting. (because me and Warren talked about how much he would bleed all over his interior if I slipped!!!). Anyway, worked like a charm, cut through it like butter in under 30 seconds, Shift **** mod must of taken us 5 minutes total.
