1.  TOOLS--Where exactly is the velcro case located?

I noticed a snapped case type thing in the rear of the left bag. I unsnapped it and Found the radio  amplifier.

2. I agree with your Red Line decision IF the HD Formula + doesn't work.

3. I have 4" Reinharts on the way.

Thanks

Tool case was loose laying in one of the bags.
Good luck with the RH's. Also a good choice. My friend has those and they sound great too.

Sound on the Hi Outputs are great. Low deep rumble. Little loud when you crack it.


Did they do the complete exhaust?
Do any tune?

When you say a little loud - set off car alarm loud?

complete exhaust.  Power Duals for the header and the Carbon Tip Hi Outputs. They are deep and somewhat loud, although that's subjective. They are not obnoxious. I have had them on 3 different bikes so I do like them a lot. They are comparable in loudness to the 4" Rineharts that I have heard. I like these better.  Louder than the Monster Rounds that are also V&H. 
For a tune, I went with Power Vision from Fuel Moto.  Also had that on my last 2 bikes and was very pleased with the results.

1 purdy scooter, Ted.  Sorry about the "niggly" things but those will be fixed.  Any idea on the fluid you saw on the guages?  Interesting that......

Got to be the bestest color combo in quite a while (my opinion).  Can't wait to see one in the flesh.

Thanks for the ride home report.....

Excellent observations on the ride home tlr - thanks for posting this. The photographs indicate the paint is terrific, I have yet to see one of these in person and look forward to it. Congratulations!

interesting on the gauges as it has seemingly cleared up.  I really didn't think that it would.  I looked at it last night in the garage with a light and I couldn't see anything.  :nixweiss: I will post a pic for you to see.
It is a great color and I am very happy with it. Numerous folks in cars/trucks gave me some :2vrolijk_21: :2vrolijk_21:

I found he tool kit. It's much smaller and has less tools than prior years.  I was looking for a kit that had the axle wrenches and channel locks in it too. Cost cutting I guess. 

I will keep an eye on my guages to see if they start leaking oil too and let you know.

Thanks again.

Jerry

Somebody didn't clean some parts before assembly.

its on the inside of the glass.  it was dripping down during my ride home. it looked more like oil than water to me at the time. Now it seems to have dried up without any residue or marks. I need to take out in the light to make sure.

Congrats on the new ride.
I have had my blue/orange for a couple of weeks and I'm loving the new fairing. I installed the V&H power duals with high output carbons also, I went with the super tuner and I am really impressed with the difference it made. Throttle response really increased after I loaded the new map. I used the super tuner and V&H power duals with high ouputs on my 2011 flhxse2 also and I was happy with the results.
(of course it had quite a bit of motor work to go along with it)

I have exactly the same thing on my standard flhx . You can only see it in certain light , especially if the sun is behind you . Sometimes it's there , sometimes it's not ?
It looks like condensation running down the inside , but I think it's actually some imperfection in the clear glass.
So it's not just your bike .
