Added kahuna heated grips to the Mako yesterday.  With the help of the great video from hdvibe on YouTube , the install went really well. Something I wanted to do for a while.  They do get nice and toasty too. 👍Stuart

Did a 3 hole oil change.

Then on the warm up and check trip I broke a throttle cable.....again. Happened 2 years ago as well. I believe my cables for the 04 are discontinued too so its a bear trying to get them.

That stinks, at least you weren’t out on a long trip in the middle of nowhere.  You’ll probably have to go aftermarket to get the cables but there are better quality than OEM out there.  My only advice is lube the hell out of those cables every time you can.

Ya it was fun hand operating the throttle body to the house but I made it! lol

Honestly I did not know I should lube those! I'm sure that would help! Thank you for the advice.

[SIKBIRD]

Hope it never happens again but if it does, you can swap the return (don’t know if that’s the proper term for it) cable over to the throttle side, just to get you home.

Well the brass piece is stuck so would say it wasn’t helping the matter..

Yesterday we did my Clubs annual Fallen Brother ride.  We visited all five grave sites to show our respects.  We rode 331 miles to accomplish this.  I'm the road captain, and I managed to dodge the rain and the CVO performed flawlessly.  Then it was back to clubhouse for burgers and dogs and fellowship.  Great day.

Fought with this all day yesterday. It does not want to come out 🤣

Took a nice 128 mile ride one the CVO RG yesterday.  I have noticed since the last software update it has improved a few things.  CarPlay boots up much better and no fail to starts.  Still has bugs in head unit though.

I volunteered to escort a friend out of town yesterday on a (new to him) 2022 limited bought from a mutual friend.
There was a learning curve on this bike vs his old 2010 bike but he did his homework and figured most of it out.

Freeway flying for 150 miles to Victorville, quick breakfast, then sent him on his way to Vegas.

On my way back home there was some traffic where I had to split lanes but mostly clear.
Keeping up with most traffic had me at about 85 mph most of the way. Using CarPlay notified me of speed traps ahead. If you ride with a group of cars also doing 85, sometimes you blast right by the radar cop and he doesn’t even flinch! LOL

Dave: got about 65k on the 124, still running strong, still tight ring seal, still good compression.
The guys at Suburban did a good job sourcing the right parts for me. 👍
