Like the title says, what did you do to or on your CVO today?
-
Got the recall taken care off, rode in snow flurries
-
I ride two up from time to time, so I put on the sissy bar to see what it looks like. I hope to try it out over the weekend.
I don't think the sissy bar looks bad, I just won't keep it on unless we are riding 2 up or need to carry luggage on the passenger pillion.
-
Used Autosol all over the exposed chrome while the bike is still somewhat apart. Lots of calcified water spots in those hard to reach arias. Now all the nooks and crannies are glowing like brand new.
-
working on a couple of projects
1st one is new exhaust system
2nd for now I will keep this under my hat ....hint: convertible owners will like this option

What exhaust are you thinking about?
-
CVO2FIXUP, I don't know what Autosol is, but when I do clean my bike I use the Mr. Clean car wash kit. If you follow the directions you can wash your bike, pull it back in the garage and come back to a dry bike with no spots. CAHDBIKER

I'll post a pic installed if you want, but this is it
http://autocoolingsolutions.com/proddetail.php?prod=Engine-Oil-Heater-Oil-Pan-Heater-100-Watt-120-Volt
keeps oil between 100 and 125 depending on how cold it is. I don't have temperature controlled storage for the bike. Been fighting condensation for a while. Boot dryer helped, but not enough. Was close to freezing outside this am and engine was warm to touch. So there will no way be a transition from cold fluid inside to outside temps rising and causing condensation on all the chrome. In the past that plus dust/dirt lead to corrosion and a lot of elbow grease several times a year to bring it back to mirror shine. I'm certain this is the answer now, plus can't help but be good for a cold day startup to ride. All thanks to my ex taking my heated garage :(
Then I ordered this http://www.ebay.com/itm/380691292230?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 , could've gone with a smaller gauge, but overall diameter between the heater and this wire on the outside is the same. Spliced and soldered, heat shrink, then neatly routed it next to battery tender plug.
-
Added new tag to the ride.
-
Had new Kuryakan license plate run brake turn installed Great look very bright and can't tell they are on the bike, Dropped off Wild one bars to be powder coated.
-
Watch some dust fall on it while sitting in the garage drinking a beer. :o
-
Wow, Haird - 35 degree ride! That's impressive! Crazy, but EXTREMELY impressive!
I would be "thru-blu" if I tried riding in that cold of weather (and I live in Michigan to boot).

beat the snot out of it and when I got home I found a 2014 street glide stuck in the air filter
-
Rode it to the store & back home, plugged it in to the battery tender.......Pretty cool here right now.
-
Just came back from a 45 minute ride. 34 degrees here at the moment.
Gerbing jacket, pants, and gloves. It was nice and toasty.
Heading out to Minneapolis in the am.
-
Took an hour ride this afternoon, pretty nice here, sunny and 53.
-
Aired up the tires. Going on a Fall Foliage ride Sunday of about 200 miles or so. :)
-
So Chopperpilot what do you fly?
I an a fixed wing pilot with 100+ rotarywing time (rated for both)

I THOUGHT about it... That's all I could do, since I'm 2200 miles away from it... :'(

-
Changed oil in the engine and trans (Harley Syn 3) and primary (Mobil 1) - and as always put just a little more in than the book calls for. Aired up the front tire to 38 and the back to 44. Put almost a half a tube in the front fork bearings. Ready for Galveston next weekend.
-
I need one of those to replace the Jim's one. Where can I get one please
PM me for info

Picked it up from the dealer - clutch recall work completed. Got quotes for apes to be installed. Thinking 14" or 16" on my ride.
-
Aired up the tires, and went on a short 100 mile ride.
-
Installed Mustang seat Set color of gauges Short ride to test gauge color Billy

I was under the impression that autosol is a abresive and should not be used on " perfect " chrome. It's meant to restore dull and oxidized chrome.
I am not sure but suggest that you check the fine print
-
Thx Pete! I sure hope I never need one of those! What kind of temps do you have before using it and after?
-

Haven't ran the bike in over a week. Had frost this morning outside and dipstick said 107. Before if I were to check at that outside temp I wouldn't get a reading off the LCD lol. So it's doing its job well. And at only 100 watts, it's not a big juice hog.

I'll look into it. My pipes are stainless so they have a brushed look up close anyway. My wheels, 08 HD chrome, so they're great from afar and this really brought out some shine. Didn't do any engine casings. Used rimwax on them. Thanks for the info though. Was thinking about doing some of the engine tomorrow because it says it leaves a protective coating.

Let me know how the digital dip stick and temp gauge works. I have been looking at those for a while.
-
I installed some new grips by Arlen Ness. Changed most of the motor bolts for polished stainless steel. I had to take the tank off to do it, i was slightly intimedated. But it was really easy. So while i was under there i ran my Power Vision tuner cable. I also removed my header pipe in preperation for my Clarity cam cover. So next weekend i will install the cam and derby cover and some Arlen Ness floor boards.

Was just showing what the block heater brought the engine temp up to from it being pretty, pretty, pretty cold outside(sorry was watching Curb all night). As for the dipstick, I've had it since late 07. Dealer gave it to me with the purchase of my bike. I've never had a problem with it. I just finally changed the battery in it last week after all this time. Now I'm sure there are plenty who will say they're junk and they break, but I either got lucky or they weren't. Who knows :nixweiss: I think it comes with a 1 year warranty, so if its bound to break I hope it would go before then...

Went out for a ride today with some coworkers and after we had a filling lunch we all headed to our respective homes, I did make one extra stop along the way -- seems I was missing a very important seasonal accessory.
-
Like the title says, what did you do to or on your CVO today?
Florida in August sucks when it is 86 and 90% humidity, however we ride all year long, so this beats out the heat in August and July. Rode from Tarpon Springs to Ocala yesterday, Went to a car show in a farm field. Over 300 muscle cars, antiques and plain old rats.I ate a zeppoli and drank apple cider and rode home in the sun at 78 degrees. 220 miles in total and a slight sun burned face. I certainly do not miss living in Northern NJ this time of year!
-
Unfortunately, I put them up on their lifts and under their covers for the winter months :-\

A little early :nixweiss: no snow yet.
We hit almost 45 here today. Nice ride, did not even turn on the heated gear :2vrolijk_21:

Isn't using stainless steel bolts in aluminum a no no? Don't they react with each other and seize? Just wondering.

Put a couple hundred miles on riding up and down The Mighty Mississippi. Pretty cold in the AM, but afternoon was beautiful.

Yea use of tef-gel will help prevent that from happening. Most marine supply shops should have it.

Time to start getting ready for winter here, too. SERG was first in line with an oil change and a bath today. SEUC is clean on the outside, but still needs fresh fluids on the inside. Should have both of 'em in their hibernating spots by this time next Sunday. :'(

To early to put the MC away already. Going for a two day ride tomorrow, they predict 1/2" snow in the am but I don't believe it will stick.
I will winterize the MC when the real snow is here. (Duluth, MN) but I hope for another month of riding.

Actually getting ready to put the bike away within the next few weeks - the tourpak goes to the painter the first week of December so I know I'll be done riding for the season before then. I use to ride year round up until about 6 years ago - that's when CT decided to start using a liquid de-icing solution on all the roads -- that sh*t will eat the aluminum even if it is powder coated, and it maintains it's caustic effects for days after it's sprayed.

I was concerned that it would hit my leg but it does not contact my leg at all - you results may vary, I'm 5'9" with a 30" inseam and the billet cover sits nicely behind my leg just below the knee as I'm riding so you can use that as a guide.
Even though it appears to be MUCH larger than the stock filter cover because of it's shape it actually is only about 1/4" larger around the O.D. because of the cool retention bolts and maybe 3/16" thicker :nixweiss:

Whipped up a tour pack storage rack to mount on the garage wall. Too much Yankee ingenuity in my blood to buy something I can build from scrap in the shop!!

Did an iron butt. We rode 1046 mi in 17hrs 52 min. We left at 6 pm and rode thru the night returning back home at noon the next day. 31 degrees and a 25 mph wind gust made it pretty miserable but we made it. Glad I did it and made it home safe but not sure I will do another.

Agreed - hope to do one someday myself. Goal is when I finish school (approximately 2 years depending on how many classes I can cram into a term), that I'll hop on Saphira and take her all the way from Michigan to Florida in one shot.

Ordered 16" Bent Ape Beaters from BRs Custom bars in 1 1/2" gloss black for the 2014 SERK
-
Fired her up and took a 2.5 hr ride on the Great River Road, now trying to figure out which LED Run/Break/Turn to put on the fender.
-
:orange: Installed new intake gaskets and added a CV Tuner kit to my carb. Runs better now than it ever has. Cured the low speed stumble and virtyally eliminated the back fire.
-
Fired it up and started chasing the sun til it set. Got about a 2 hour ride in, taking as many tree lined roads as possible. The leaves are really popping with color right now. Too bad they don't last long, makes for a nice ride....
-
Changed both tires. They were completely gone after 14000 mls.

Started my 2010 after a complete engine re build. Started immediately and sounds very quit. Took a video but it is in MVI needs to be in AVI. have no idea how to convert. Any suggestions with a good free converter?

I didn't do this today, but did it this past Saturday - :-[
First mod on Saphira. HUGE THANK YOU to Hx2 for helping me out with some wiring tips! I'll probably post a few more pics in the SERK board for it.
- Added Truck Lite Phase 7 headlight and passing lamps
- Added HD custom auxiliary bracket kit
- Added HD bullet turn signals
- Replaced signal bulbs with CD Dynamic Ringz'
- Added Kuryakyn deep dish bezels
- Added Kuryakyn LED trim rings
- Added CD Signal Stablizer for LED signals - I did need it after running the bike for a few days with the Dynamic Ringz in as a test before the full install. My signals never "learned" to flash correctly without it.
I know most won't like that I decided to keep the signals on the handlebars, but it does give me more light. I was on the fence about it, but the boss came in the garage and said "I like it - I feel more comfortable that you will be seen better out there." That was enough for me to keep 'em on.

I would love to know how well this setup throws the light up the road while leaning in a turn compared to the stock setup. Looks good. I'll bet it all uses as much electricity as the standard single bulb used so your electrical system isn't screaming. :2vrolijk_21:

Sadly, not a damn thing.

Rode to work and back. Freakin' loving the heated seat. :)
-
Digital, I haven't actually done the math, but I think with all the lights being LED's it's actually using far less juice than if the signals and headlight/passing lamps had regular bulbs. I haven't taken it on the road at night since doing the mod, but it's pretty blinding sitting in front of it to take the pic. 8)
EDIT - Went back and reread your post, Digital. I think you were saying the same thing, but did so far more efficiently than I did. I shouldn't post when my mind has turned to mush for the day.
-
Well, not today but yesterday....20K mile service and a tune with the SE Race tuner. Not bad results for very little output money wise. Only mods is the removal of the SE muffler plug and changing the stock header. I'll take it and it runs so much better.... :2vrolijk_21:
First picture is the base run (with catless header pipe and deplugged SE muffler, no tune).
-
...and the after with tune. I'm happy with the cost and the results....now on to my next 20,000 miles... ;D

Checked oil temp this morning. 113 degrees, not bad for a two dog night.

Grats on the performance increase, Howard! :2vrolijk_21:

Well, yesterday, I got out the CVO and rode to vote ! Both are great American privilege's !!! Nice 57 degree, dry fall afternoon in Ohio, the heated grips and heated seat are wonderful !!! I didn't want to come home, especially since it was only 6:20 when it got dark !!!!
-
Grats on the performance increase, Howard! :2vrolijk_21:
Thanks Todd. For about $750 OTD (that includes the $150 for the de-catted header pipe), I got a good increase with much better spread across the RPM range. Plus, checking the fuel mileage so far, no big changes. Of course, I'm playing with it a bit more since the tune so my fuel mileage is suffering a bit but what the heck....
I meant to post about your lighting changes....VERY NICE! I like the LED look and am very happy with my Phase 7/Truck light so I know you will love yours along with the halo's. More light = better visibility to see and be seen. Tickled for ya, brother.

I hope it's a short commute! I'd look like the little brother in Christmas Story dressed for that weather :nervous:
-
Only 20 miles. Trying to get riding in before 4-5 months of snow.

In the last week (and a day).
Picked up my CVO after complete engine rebuild by Barrie HD in Barrie, Ontario
Rode the bike home to VA
Went on lunch ride with HOG Chapter (about 125 miles)
Dropped off and picked up bike from Steel Horse HD for "80K" service - about 1K on rebuild
Got approval for new Heated Seat from ESP
Ordered pair of Metezler 888 tires from Bike Bandit
Rode to work.
Life is Good and I have been Blessed.

Parked her up for the winter heavy frost the last couple of morning, so that's the salt on the roads again

Salt on the road - bike parked for the winter, agree 100%

Ordered Custom Dynamic Ringz for front turn signals Billy

:2vrolijk_21: Good call, Billy - you'll love 'em!

Saturday 10 of use rode about 200 miles which included The Devil's Triangle, Firsr time in about 4 yrs. that i have been able to ride with our little group because i was working on saturday's. A little chilly Sat. a.m. but warmed up to be a good day for riding. :2vrolijk_21:
We had two newbie's ride with us on Yamaha's I just had to show them how the SERK handled on the Triangle, One of the other guys called me Monday night to tell me that one of them went to Colbach H-D Monday looking at a new Harley. :2vrolijk_21:
-
UPS delivered these to me yesterday.
-
Added the Swingarm Inserts before heading out on a long ride today.
An inexpensive addition for a big change to the Swingarm.
-
Nice. Add a lot to the bike.
had them on my 95 FB
Some pics for fun. Sold it to my bro' who still has it.

Tucked my baby away for her long winter's nap. As I was wiping some dust away before riding, I was trying to hurry and the edge of the microfiber towel actually put a slight scratch in the back side of the right hard bag. Man, I can't believe this paint is that soft. I already had some paint correction work to do before this, now I just have a longer list once she wakes up from her nap. :sleeping:
-
Picked up my tour pac relocation kit, it was for sale on E Bay all new and boxed including the wiring kit from a HD dealer, starting bid £100 got it £104 a bargain the full price over here is over £600.

I would try some Scratch & Swirl Repair (http://www.harley-davidson.com/store/scratch---swirl-repair) (or similar type product) first... I can't imagine a microfiber cloth would put a scratch so deep that could/would require paint correction. :nixweiss:

"Paint correction" is a detailing industry term that refers to the application of products to remove paint swirls and light scratches.
I think you're saying the same thing. :2vrolijk_21:

Affirmative, Thunder - albeit I'm a little leery of taking the Porter Cable to the hard bags with some of the angles that need to be dealt with.
-
This is what I use for the bikes: http://www.griotsgarage.com/product/professional+3+inch+random+orbital.do
Still can't get everywhere in, and around, the tank and fairing on either of my 2 bikes, but your SERK should be a little easier that way. Bags are pretty do-able. I get what I can with them on the bike, then take them off and lay 'em on a pile of sheets to do the backs. Not much left to do by hand after getting the larger areas with the 3".
-
Added an Arlen-Ness fairing to the Breakout with HD quick release clamps. Makes a big difference when riding the bike. Up next getting it painted to match the rest of the bike with the diamond black/chrome/slate/red pinstripe.
-
Another angle:

Looking good, will look really sharp with the paint matching the bike.

De-catted the stock head pipes from my 2013 Road Glide (103) to put on my 2014 SERG with a TTS sometime this winter. Its the same head pipe on both bikes from the factory right?
-
I didn't do this today, but did it this past Saturday - :-[
First mod on Saphira. HUGE THANK YOU to Hx2 for helping me out with some wiring tips! I'll probably post a few more pics in the SERK board for it.
- Added Truck Lite Phase 7 headlight and passing lamps
- Added HD custom auxiliary bracket kit
- Added HD bullet turn signals
- Replaced signal bulbs with CD Dynamic Ringz'
- Added Kuryakyn deep dish bezels
- Added Kuryakyn LED trim rings
- Added CD Signal Stablizer for LED signals - I did need it after running the bike for a few days with the Dynamic Ringz in as a test before the full install. My signals never "learned" to flash correctly without it.
I know most won't like that I decided to keep the signals on the handlebars, but it does give me more light. I was on the fence about it, but the boss came in the garage and said "I like it - I feel more comfortable that you will be seen better out there." That was enough for me to keep 'em on.
Looks good. I just put the Phase 7 lights on the front-end this week too. Friends I rode behind said they were certainly brighter and made me more visible; which is a good thing. :bananarock:
-
Installed CD Ringz They are great. Can't wait till the snow melts to try them out at night. Such a cheap simple improvement Installing Wild one 502 Bars Wed. and Tour Pack Billy

Purchased my 2014 Limited CVO today :huepfenjump3:. Only got to ride it about 7 miles to the house since it's my wifes birthday I figured I better spend some time with her before I leave to go out of town tomorrow.

7 miles, I would have taken the long way home Billy

I bought myself a new bike for my wife and I's anniversary :bananarock:

Awesome, congrats on the new bike and anniversary. What did the wife get for the anniversary?
What bike did you buy?

Is that like Homer Simpson bought his wife a bowling ball for her birthday that had his name engraved on it. :huepfenlol2:

Awesome, congrats on the new bike and anniversary. What did the wife get for the anniversary?
What bike did you buy?
It was in 2009 and I bought a new 2009 Vivid black FLHX. She got a new 2009 Vivid black FLHX (same bike) lol. We were both happy as could be and it worked out great. We were riding a 1997 Softtail custom so it was quite an upgrade. As you can see in my profile we have upgraded again to a 12 CVO SG :bananarock:
-
Reluctantly put it away for the winter :(
-
Bought some true custom bags and fenders getting painted to match my 2005 cvo
-
Well, on my CVO, I completed the rake to put my new front wheel on it. Hopefully have it finished up and riding on Sunday. Hopefully.

Haven't been riding much, so I located the battery tender cable behind the left side cover. Not sure why they put it there as it's a pain to take the bag off to take the cover off, to get to it. I think I'll just leave it dangling from the bottom of the side cover, so I don't have to keep removing stuff to get to it. Anyway, I hooked her up to the tender for the night.

Our local riding group did our annual poker run and here we are donating the profits to the area hospice.....

Good for you guys that is a good program to support.
-
Add me to the list of people that had to put the babies to bed for winter. Hopefully I will get to do some tinkering through the dark months. Normally I would have the Ducs facing the TV so I can sit on them while watching reruns of World Superbike, but the RK is indeed "Hogging" all the room. :nixweiss:

Pictures with tour pak, Wild one 502, I added some small LED lights on the handle bar covers so I don't have to look down with a full face helmet. I also installed Gerbing controls on the heat shields. I also Powder coated the headlight trim in shinny black to match the Aux lights Billy

THE DAWG
-
Detailed the bike this morning, and prepped for the long winter nap. Early for me to do that, but it will be snowy/icy and the roads will be covered with salt before I have any time to ride due to travel over the next five weeks.
-
No such thing as hibernation round these parts. Will have some cold, snowy, icy days but usually a couple days/weeks when it above 55. Several Christmas 74 and riding. Jan & Feb not so much.
-
Spent the day in a parking lot with good friends and a bunch of cones practicing slow speed maneuvers.
-
Moved her from one side of the garage to the other, so I could pull my truck into the garage during the 60 to 70 mph winds yesterday.

Rode from Petersburg, VA to Sumter, SC on a business trip (yesterday actually).
About 1/2 hour into the trip (on the Interstate, yuck), I was thinking, jeez, got 4.5 more hours of this. About 1 hour later I was thinking what a great time I was having. If I can get an early start for the return, I might take the slow way home.

I've had those for years and love the comfort of having more of my feet on the boards... You have to watch cornering though because they have a tendency to drag if you lean too much.

Nice mods Billy. Those Gerbings controls on the heat shields is a great idea. I like the bars too - They look good and the price is nice. I may go with the 10 inchers - did you have to replace the clutch and brake lines to install the 502?

Yes we went with 6 inch over just to be safe. The controls are great no wires flapping in the wind looks clean and the cables are very easy to install one handed Billy

Set the adjustable a to 21 flats ( about .120). Can't believe how sweet this bike rides and how quiet the top end is now. Was able to a short 30 mile shake down ride in. Can't wait till this weekend when the weather clears up a bit.

Well, I had a credit at Adamec Harley (speedo I ordered that the catalog and computer said would fit, but didn't so got my $$$ back :oops:), so I went to pick up three of those digital oil dipstick replacements. These are the ones that tell you the oil level and temp at a glance. Well, got one each for the Tri-Glide and CVO Road King, but for some reason they don't have one for the CVO Springer. Two out of three I guess.

polished her a bit (for 100th time), played w/ air susp and put air in tires. hopefully get her out this weekend??

Finished my led headlight and passing light install

@krypto2011, that looks like a phase7 headlight. I noticed the light doesn't extend pass the trim ring. Is it a bigger trim ring or did you do something else? Looks much better than having it extend pass the ring.

Yes phase 7 and kuryakyn led passing lamps. The trim ring is the extended version I guess you would call it. I bought the bike used with 1100 miles on it. I assumed all cvo's had them but maybe previous owner added it??? The original thinner one is under it and the extended one actually tucks around the thinner one to hold it in place. Definitely looks better than the phase 7 sticking way out beyond the ring.
-
Just added the Phase 7 lights to mine too. Been to cold and busy to try them out on a night ride though. Next mod will be the LED turn signals and tourpack lights from Custom Dynamics. ;D
-
I just put the daymakers on, I bought them when Harley had there big sale got 75% off. And they light up the entire interstate

Did go for a short run down the street to get the oil heated up and the fuel stabilizer in all the lines b
Shinny since it was detailed yesterday.
Now waiting for the new aircleaner and chrome cover for the belt drive.

Rode with 4 friends to Roanoke for the Toys for Tots ride. 24 deg when I left the house. Saw a low of 21 on the way. 1300 bikes on 1 hour police guided ride thru Salem, Roanoke, Vinton, and back to Salem. 380 miles by the time I got home.
Interestingly, all 4 of us are (old) vets. 57, 57, 63, and 64. 2 young guys both Navy, 1 former Seal (Vietnam and "maybe other places"), 1 retired Army SSGT (Vietnam and Desert Storm). The SSGT rides a Tri-Glide due to Agent Orange issues. His first "bike". Been riding 3 years, has 60K plus on the trike. Rode to CA, then SW (different trip). He's leaving on Wednesday for Maine (!) to escort the truck with the wreaths for Wreaths Across America. Good Times and Great Guys. I am honored to call them friends.

Interestingly, all 4 of us are (old) vets. 57, 57, 63, and 64. 2 young guys both Navy, 1 former Seal (Vietnam and "maybe other places"), 1 retired Army SSGT (Vietnam and Desert Storm). The SSGT rides a Tri-Glide due to Agent Orange issues. His first "bike". Been riding 3 years, has 60K plus on the trike. Rode to CA, then SW (different trip). He's leaving on Wednesday for Maine (!) to escort the truck with the wreaths for Wreaths Across America. Good Times and Great Guys. I am honored to call them friends.
Sweet!!!! Thanks for you service!!

Sounds like an great ride and some great people to ride with, thanks for posting. I just walked past my bike coming in tonight.

Installed a pair of Agitator wheels purchased from CVOJIMMYC, and stuck in a pair of stock-height Monotubes.

Ordered phase 7 headlight and passing lamps from eastern performance on their Black Friday sale for $332.00 shipped to door and then went to Harley store and purchased the French light rims to finish it off. Now just waiting for delivery to install and wait for clean roads here in Ohio to try them out. :cucumber:

Thank you Chip. The fairing is not quite ready for primetime yet. Currently at Xtreme Dimension and then I need to do something with the headlight to make it fit properly. I'll post detail and pics as soon as it all comes together. Hopefully next week.

Dropped off the tour pack at the painters for a little makeover ;)
after all, mod season is upon us.
Right now the bike now looks like a one of a kind CVO street glide -- with speakers sitting on top of the bags instead of built into them....

Dropped off 14 serk to have tour pack lights installed Billy

Replaced the voltage regulator on '11 SERGU. Remember the recall on 2012 model VRs? Lots of posts here by people with bad VRs outside the recall window. The VR that went bad had a manufactured date code of 1513 (15th week of '13), so it wasn't the original. Wasn't thrilled to see new VR with same 1513.
Then rode in an ABATE toy run parade, got rained on, went to breakfast with 10 friends, started to go on a ride together but got rained on again (heavily), so we all rode on home.
-
Re-attached the right side running light after it fell out while cleaning. Never had that happen before, but I was wiping off some BugSlide with a microfiber and must of turned the trim ring with too much force. Put it back on and made sure I tightend it and the other side realy good. :)
-
Well we got 10" of snow yesterday and another 15"-18" expected today, looks like the season is over here.
Where is global warming when you need it Al Gore?
-
Wasn't today, but Monday we had 65 degrees here in Nebraska and I hadn't been on the SERK for nearly two years. My brother was killed in a work accident while the wife and I were on the way to Sturgis in 2011 and it just kind of took the wind out of my sails. Anyway, thought I'd better at least run it for a while before winter sets in. Went for a short ride and think I'll get back into riding.

Little head work, Dracula pipe and 24 cams.
So does that mean you got the new bike? How do you like it? Just put mine to bed for the winter. :~(

Nice. It came in early. How do you like it? Saw one in the sun the other day. Looks really good. Did I tell you I found a heated Hammock seat for mine. The wife really likes it and I think I like it better then my Mustang. Will use it for traveling. Got the tour pak backrest and drivers backrest too match also.

Only 180 miles on it. One afternoon ride is all that we got before the weather turned. So for I'm liking it. Wife really likes it,more room and better seat!

Picked up my 14 Serk. They just installed light bar on the back of the tour pak Looks great and can be seen very well. 23 degree ride home but with Gerbing I could ride all day. This 14 Serk is so much better than the 07 Billy

removed old cfr slip ons recall on chrome instaled the new replacements sounds good but about 25f outside so put away for winter >:(

My wife liked the stock seat on the 09 but it wasn't my favorite. This new Hammock seems like it is going to be a good long distance seat. I forgot they moved the trunk back and angled the backrest on the 14's.

Changed the 2" baffles on my Rinehart 4" slip-ons to the 2 1/4" High Flo baffles on my 2013 Ultra CVO Ann. I didn't like the sound of the standard baffles. The 2 1/4" are an improvement. They are a little louder, deeper and have a better "burbling" sound than the old ones. Haven't made a road trip with them but will when the weather clears up and see if they're not too load. Definitely worth the $89.99. Relatively easy changeout. Grabbed the old ones with vise grips, wiggled them a little, and they came right out.

Slapped on a demo Windsplitter shield on the Big Red One and went for a quick check ride.
It was 34 degrees outside, but I had to give this a try around the "block". I have a a great route with quick access to the Interstate that amounts to about 5 miles that I use for checking things out and doing check rides.
First, let me tell you that 34 degrees is COLD!! - especially down here in San Antonio where we just don't see these temps!!! :cowboy:
I put on the 7 inch Windsplitter on in about 1 minute - easy install.
To put things to the acid test, I just wore a ball cap (facing forward).
After warming up the bike I headed out down the road - one mile to the Interstate @ 45 mph.
Once on the IH, I got her up to about 70 - 75 for a couple of miles. I was very pleased that the wind did not try to blow my cap off. Granted, I was hunkering down a bit - did I mention it was COLD?!!
Anyway, I am 5'11" and my experience is that the 7 inch Wind Splitter is just as effective as the stock 10" shield.
It was a short ride, but I plan to put in some miles to see if I really like it. My HD parts guy told me to bring the Demo back "whenever" as he knows it takes more than a day or two to really get the feel of a new wind screen.
All I have to say is that my initial impression is very positive and that I think the 7 in Wind Splitter is a good replacement for the stock 10 in. shield.
I think the shield adds a cool factor of +10 and really opens up the front visibility. I am looking forward to putting in some miles with the new shield. Even if it does not hold up over the long haul, I plan to get one for every day riding and us the stock shield for touring.
Best Regards,
Mark

Thanks for the review Mark. It looks good on your bike too.

rehooked the battery tender and thought DAMM it's gonna be until the 2nd big rain in march or april to kill the salt on the road, feeling that I'm getting old or turning into a big sissy or sumthin 'lived in Indiana scince 07 bought this scoot in 2011 and having grown up and lived in socal used to ride all year. this takes some getting used to, guess I am a sissy or I'd put this thing on the salt and twist it up. :nixweiss:

I got mine from Puzzled, a member & vendor on site. Unlike some, he is a member 1st. I really like how getting rid of the nuts on the rt side cleaned it up. Very easy install if you have a little help. 90% one man job, lining axle up to go back in is a lot easier with extra hands. Press fit lft side threaded piece first......or be prepared :sauer055:

Finally had three good, dry salt free days to ride in. Wed. morning was 22, yesterday was 18 and today was a balmy 26. Most don't but I love the cold weather days, just not the salt, ice or snow on the roads. Luckily we don't have to bother with that much here in East Tennessee, just the cold. Only time of the year I don't sweat..... ;D

I agree FXD, watch it closely and if should start to leak/crack at that spot......trash it!!

Pulled the ECM out to send back to RP - if they are actually doing any customer service.
Put it up on the jack, pushed it to the corner, covered it and waiting for the spring rains.

I would be careful with that. Shock absorbers are designed to take the load pushing down on them, not hanging load. Not Sure how the HD shocks and fork are designed but for high end car suspension this is not a good idea. I doubt there is a mechanical stop in our units that would prevent a possible issue.

Sorry I have no info on MC shocks. Like I said it's an issue on high performance shocks, for high performance cars, so it might not be an issue on a MC but I would not do it.
If you are concerned with flats spots just move the MC once a month.
-
What happens to the shocks when they are sitting on the shelf in a box?
-
But thinking some more about it that would mean center stands would be bad as well and most store MCs with center stand on the actual center stand :nixweiss: so I think my whole philosophy is wrong on bikes.
Think I will put mine up on the lift as well :2vrolijk_21:

Well in a box no load or weight is exerting a force on the shocks

Heard good things about J&S. Never had a reason to go away from my PitBull. Roll scoot around with hardly any effort. Spin 360deg or anything else.

If I were to buy a new jack stand I'd buy the J & S after watching all the videos on youtube. I was until I realized my Sears yellow jack allows me to move the bike around too. Not as easy as the J&S, but still...How much am I gonna move a bike parked for winter? I'll probably just keep my Sears lift.
-
I got an old Sears lift. Works well for me

I will probably go with the J&S, it will be nice to have something to help with oil changes, etc..

You won't be disappointed.
They have a VET discount - and maybe even a CVO forum discount (can't remember). Worth asking, tho'.
They were very nice to deal with and shipped very quickly.
You are dealing with a family business - that's important to me.
One tip, however. I was having a devil of a time getting the jack high enough to engage the support at the highest level. All it took was for me to screw out the top of the jack into the cross bar 1/2 in to snug it up. Might have been in the instructions, but I missed it. Anyway, it works great and is super stable.
The first time I put my Ultra on the Sears Yellow Jack I almost had a heart attack. Sold it to a bud with a SG :nixweiss:

The only way they will ride with me is if I'm tailgunner. LOL. Anyway, I have decided to let Steve at Fullsac modify my bafles. The problem is I don't know whether to get the 1.75" or 2" baffles. If you all have one I would like to hear opinions / input.
Thanks in advance,

Rode my scoot all day!
Early this week, I finished up a couple winter projects. Added some new handlebars and some Heat Demons hand warmers. I wanted to keep use the stock clutch & brake cables. Added some color to the handlebars and have never seen any "YELLOW" Road Glides (or any other scooter) with this set up.
This fall I added some Daymakers LED's, CD Ringz, Fullsac Sleeper Stage II kit. That's it for this Winter.
I shoulda have gave my scoot a bath, but it was too nice a day and just wanted to ride.
I'm pretty stoked with the outcome! :bananarock: :bananarock:

What do you think about switching the position of the yellow and black so the black is on the bottom?
Cheers
Mark :cowboy:

Beautiful bike!

THANKS for all the kind words.
The bars give my scoot a whole different feel and look. Kinda a "stock custom" is what I call it, not as slick crazy as many of the badazz bikes on this forum!
To answer some of the questions, I wanted to go powder coating but could not get the right color or pearl. So I had to get them painted to match. I thought about painting (still might, but in NO hurry either way) my lower fairings but I kinda like the slant color separation of the gray and pearl yellow.
Happy holidays,

The bars give my scoot a whole different feel and look. Kinda a "stock custom" is what I call it, not as slick crazy as many of the badazz bikes on this forum!
To answer some of the questions, I wanted to go powder coating but could not get the right color or pearl. So I had to get them painted to match. I thought about painting (still might, but in NO hurry either way) my lower fairings but I kinda like the slant color separation of the gray and pearl yellow.
Happy holidays,
YB
I like the way the lowers look right now IMO

What did I do on my CVO today....I rode on salty roads BUT it was 65degs in Maryland!!!!!! I just had to. ;D

Just installed the Custom Dynamics brake light flasher module. Local LEO's may not like the strobe option, but I sure do!!! :2vrolijk_21:
I have yet to come across one that doesn't. Riders or not, they know the disadvantage of being on a bike. The fact that this draws more attention to the distracted masses is a good thing. An accident for us is also a bad day for them. Especially if it involves a road closure and measurements. The only type of LEO I could see having an issue with this is an uneducated non-rider that's fresh out of the academy and looking to pad his activity sheet.

Saturday was a beautiful 80 degree day so I decided to get the VRod out and go see a friend for a while about 25miles away. Was there about 1 1/2 hrs and decide to head back home playing around some back roads on the way. Nothing but pure adrenalin when it's you and a back road.
Back roads don't last long around here so I was heading for the stable when about a mile away a little old lady turned left in front of me at about 30 mph. Not sure why she didn't see as she was looking right at me but I just swerved hard right onto the apex of where she was turning and MISSED her. Of all the years I've rode that was the closest I've come to contact with a vehicle!
For once I didn't even get pissed as I was so happy I didn't get hit by her. Thought about turning around and going and thank her missing me.
I truly think she never knew what she had had almost done and felt shes the one that may need help. A lady behind me stopped next me up the road at a traffic light and was just in awe and was and couldn't believe what she just witnessed. Told her that's the only Christmas present I want this year and merry Christmas to her. Ride Safe! :pumpkin:

Yup.
First ride after the hand surgery, everything still works, nothing hurt. Smoked a stogie waiting for it to cool off, then washed all the crud off of it.

That's a sweet ride, Jimmy. My buddy has the same bike/color. The paint job looks even more amazing live! I'll have to pass along your mod to him since he traded in his CVO Road Glide Ultra for this bike and his wife isn't exactly happy to have given up her comfy seat.

One of my favorite! My dealer has one in stock. Everytime I go there, I first go see that amazing paint job. I would have bought it but my wife insists that I don't deserve a tour pack yet ???
Question: can you ride in heavy rain with those speakers?

Haven't yet, Dah. Have heard both sides....if its luck of the draw, mine will leak :sweatdrop:

Hey 2k thanks for posting the picture of your tour pak. That is the first picture I have seen of one in our color. Joe Z is painting my swinebox now. Every morning I check to see if there are pictures of it posted on here yet. I swear I am like a darn 6 year old on Christmas!! LOL

Heck yeah, I was the same. Was gonna get Joe to paint me one, couldn't find a doner & couldn't wait any longer. Set up for solo in the pic, but got both racks. 4 bolts & 5 mins and its 2-up. Only drawback is no lights, haven't figured out a super clean way to make a detach harness. Rainy/cold day project # 319.

I'll tell you this it definitely woke up the motor. I just received my TTs tuner today(haven't installed it yet) so I will work on it this weekend. I let my boss ride it today for quick spin he said it definitely set him back in the seat, he's at least 300lb.

Hey 2k I looked at those clocks a while back but when I did I did not realize they were such a close match to the speedometer!! Did you get the one that swivels or the one that flips open? If you would not mind could you take a picture of it in the open position? Thanks.

I went with the one that swivels only cause it was 25 bucks cheaper. Hey, it stays closed 99.9% of the time. Will get you a pic 2morrow.
-
For T-Roy, Have to be slow and careful locking/unlocking...but then, you don't do it often. Flip up would prob be easier.
-
Thanks 2k. Actually I found a picture of the flip one in the open position on their website and since it flips up toward you you would have to put the key behind it. I really think the key acces would be easier with the swivel style like yours. Thanks for the picture but DAD GUMMIT now I have another mod on the wishlist it just never ends LMAO ;)

They are legal in all 50 states so long as the flashing is disabled at dusk. Unit comes with a light sensor.
Price depends on model. Here is their link.

This is going to open a can of worms (Oil Thread?). I have a strong resistance to headlight modulators. Have heard of too many instances when a driver, at a quick glance, thought the rider was flashing to say "go ahead".
Can have the same effect with flashing rear lights. I have a Bright Ass Light on the "flash 5 fast one time" setting. But, I was behind a GW withing blinking rear lights and integrated turn signal/brake lights. Couldn't tell what the heck he was going to do when he had on both brakes and turn.

Took her for a ride today as it was close to 60 degrees today in St. Louis. :) Unfortunately, upon return I noticed a small dime size drop of coolant on my garage floor, so looks like I'm suffering the thermostat leak issue. Can't tell because the CVO has the cover over the pump and thermostat. I tried to take it off, but I'm not sure how. Anyone know how to take the cover off to see the pump and thermostat?

Rode 150 miles today of that 35 miles was up at 8000-9000 ft. Ice, snow and 34 deg. had to go slow but was nice at the lower elevations. Colorado is the best!

Black,easier to get paint to stick to than chrome.

Yes, if you plan to have them painted you'd want to go with the black as I believe they are easier / take less time to media blast vs. the chrome.
Joe will confirm if you give him a call to discuss, which I recommend before doing anything else.
OK, will do. Again Thanks to all for the replies. Regards: JP

I was tempted to ride today since we got all that rain to clean off the chemically treated roads. My fear is all the residual snow melting and the roads being wet in spots. As much as I'd like to ride, I'm not sure I want to have to clean afterwards. :) If you ride have fun and be safe.

Now that duck hunting season is over. I am spending this weekend in my cave tearing my road glide down, almost to the frame, for it's annual cleaning and Glare application. Should take about 3-4 weekends. But I won't be riding for 3-4 months, so I can take my time.

Yep grizzly a heated seat also. It probably is over the top considering I live in South Louisiana. However we do plan on coming to the mountains of NC and SD soon and you know what they say, if the BSR ain't happy nobody is.

Ordered a set of Wild Ones 502 12.5 apes for the SERGU. Have WO bars on both the other CVOs.

Curious is that a deer whistle down low in front?
Yep sure is, not sure I'm satisfied with the current location though. I don't ride the backroads around here at night without it turned on. I've had one on the last five bikes I've owned and I believe in it although some do not. To each his own. :bananarock:

Just finished up a few mods done by JARZ Performance, got bike back yesterday:
TW-7H cams, new bearings, Fueling lifters, SE push rods, Baker Attitude chain adjuster, Primo Rivera Pro Clutch, Zippers Red Shift chain tensioners, new chains, by pass valve, D&D Fat Cat 2:1 and ghost pipe, dyno tune, 106.50/118.15. All I can do is look at it right now, can't wait for the weather to smarten up!

Took the cover off, unhooked the battery tender and went for a zip. It was 53 degrees in southern Indiana today. Much better than below zero a week ago. :)

I know Geezer, I'm lucky to have talent like Lee and his crew just down the street. He had it picked up, torn down, built up, tuned to perfection and back home within the week. If you're ever up this way and need anything let me know. :2vrolijk_21:

Jimmy,
1- Love your bike! My favorite blue bike! That paint job is phenomenal.
2- Everything you have done to the bike makes it look even better.
3- And what's wrong with curb feelers???? :D
BTW, my buddy who owns the exact same bike (minus the bling) as yours called yesterday to see if I would help him out and let him leave his bike in our garage for the winter. I reluctantly ;) agreed and, being the dedicated, selfless friend that I am, promised him I will ride it frequently just to make sure the fuel doesn't go bad and the tires don't get flat spots. Hey what are friends for, right? :bananarock:

My thought exactly, the passing light housing's & lower legs. All else black.

That's what I'm leaning towards....Contrast is good.
Besides, I already have one completely blacked-out bike and it'd cost a fortune to do the same to this one.
Edit - Holy crow Tapatalk made those pictures HUGE!

You sure are tearing off more parts off your bike,than I did to install my new 578's! :nixweiss:

Danner 55,
No worries, the tear down is complete, replaced the risers tonight and removed the bars getting ready to extend wires and replace the brake line. This project has been getting more fun as I goes. I just hope 16 in Cyclesmiths were the right choice, I really like the look of Monkey bars better.

Not on my CVO and not today, technically speaking. But yesterday it was sunny and dry with temps close to 50 degrees. So I volunteered to go get my buddy's 2013 CVO RK and bring it to our place for the next couple of months. Even though we live less than a mile apart, I took an alternate 'shortcut' which was closer to 20 miles to get back !
This bike (same as 2k's) looks 100x better in person. As amazing as the blue paint job is, it just does not photograph well. I took the picture below this past June the day he bought it and brought it home.

Same here.
I know what you mean, sometimes if you don't have the right light or camera the photos don't do justice. I have tried and tried to capture a great picture of my orange Breakout, not satisfied yet.

Supershooter,
Looks like you are doing a completely rebuild!
I only removed the outer fairing & passing lamps! It was a lot of work to install the 578's. My patience was getting real thin after 1 day to install them & another day to get the heated grips to work.
I guess living in Iowa, with all that cold & snow you'll have plenty of time to get it right! Watched the Weather Channel today & it looks like you won't be riding too soon! But then again I'm not riding this week either!
Good luck with your project! Post some pics when you are done.

I kept watching 2K's swimming-pool-beauty avatar and wondering: How did that top stay on her shirt-berries? ;)
Finished the install of the WO502 12.5 apes on the SERGU and took a nice test ride. Big difference, and much more comfortable. Didn't have to replace brake or clutch line; just had to re-route the clutch line and bleed it.

Removed the exhaust pipe and boxed it up to ship to a rider in PA. Stripped bike down starting to install 13" apes.

Cry me a river... It was -22c with the W.C. in Ontario today. I'm sure glad you were able to enjoy a ride.
Next week the weatherman tells us to expect an "Alberta Clipper", thanks a lot! ;D
I am glad someone in the country is able to ride though.

Got around to installing the mid frame deflectors. Not a big job at all, but they have been sitting in the box on the shelf too long =)

Took the cover off the bike to show off the ride to a friend of mine. Tempted to leave the cover off, temps are on the rise here, but the roads are still a mess.

Just downloaded the 1.17.4 for the 6.5, turned on assc. switch, plugged in USB stick, took 6 mins. Done. No riding, still to much snow on the ground.

This is extremely cool... The way all H-D radios should come as standard equipment, well at least on the CVO's. :2vrolijk_21:
Much better having the screen up high, right in your line of sight of the road ahead.
Very nice and appropriate mod.
-
How's the water-proofedness of the Clarion NZ503 DVD NAV Flip-out stereo?
-
Looks great, is the screen flipping out an option or does it always flip out?
-
Haven't tested the waterproofness yet, but plan to keep it as dry as possible. No, the screen can be in or out depending on your preference and can be operated in both positions from my handle bar controls.

Cleaned out the 4th garage stall, about ready to move the bike from the winter storage location along the front wall of the garage. Can't wait to uncover the bike and get out on the road. We probably have a couple more weeks of snow, freezing temps and chemicals on the road before I take her out.

Took the cover off, unplugged the battery tender, and went for a 50 mile ride!!! :bananarock: :drink:

We had the same idea. :) Wife and I put 180 miles on today. It was great to finally be out. Saw lots of people out riding. We went up the Mississippi in search of Eagles to photograph. Saw a few birds, but not very close to us. No worries though because it was great to finally ride!!!

Snowing when I got up.
Went to the shop and built a fire in the stove.
Turned on the tunes.
Got out the wax, cleaning rags and Pig Spit.
Cleaned, waxed, and admired.
Snowed all day and still snowing.
All in all, A GOOD DAY.

Amazing weather today so went from the water up thru Mt Laguna (around 6000 ft) down to the desert. Going to finally rain next weekend and we really need it so ended up doing around 300 miles which was awesome (my butt hurts..). Crazy amount of bikes of all types out today. Lots of waving.

Sunny and 65 F on Saturday, beautiful day, mild winds so I rode to Reelfoot Lake then took the back roads to Union City. Saw many other riders out enjoying the fine break in the weather. Felt really bad for all you that have snow dumped in your area.

Finally got to spend a few minutes to get the cam chest opened up. Went in through the top, removed rockers assemblies, etc.
Lifters and such looked ok, but they're being replaced anyway. With 31K on the clock, no need to chance it with the stock components.
As for today, I got around to ordering a pair of Andrews 57H camshafts and Cometic head gaskets. Just piecing the rest of the cam swap parts together over the next couple days.

Hey Supershooter,
What make and model of handlebars are those you put on your scoot???
I went for a putt today on my scoot for about 20 miles before it started snowing again.
Supposed to get several inches of new snow again tonight.
Is winter ever going to end ??
It gets into the 40's then the next day it's back into the 30's and snowing.

Not today but got my ride out of the local H-D shop on Wednesday (put it in for an early 15,000 mile service back in Nov and they let me keep it there for the winter). Only a 25 mile ride but it was great just the same. So ready for a long ride.

Don't pay any attention to comments about pulling a trailer with the bike.
It's the American way, you can have it and take it with you.
Great bike and great trailer.
Ride safe to Daytona.

Went for about a 150 mile ride today which included my second Patriot Guard Mission, Sure was a beautiful day for a change. Clear blue skies with a high of 80 degrees.

Did something I hate doing. I got out the hose and sprayed her down. Really couldn't stand all the winter salt, chemical, and brine dust all over just from riding a few times recently. That's it, I'm done. I don't care if it's 70 degs. I'm not riding again until a good rain washes all the crap off the roads. I'm afraid what the chemicals and salt are doing to the bike. Plus, I hate cleaning. :)

Yeah, be strong, and don't cave, LOL. Even though the roads look clean, they are far from it. Today I rode to work, and on the way home my eyes were even burning probably from salt air. :)

We hit 62 but I kept the old girl in the garage. I'll most likely wait until April. Need a few good rains!

One of my buddies came by yesterday afternoon, his 2014 Ultra was covered with road dusk and dried up salt, asked if I wanted to go riding, I said nope, not till April.

It's a shame to miss out on a good ride with a friend. The bike is bound to get dirty from road grime, even salt. That's what the garden hose is for. Ride man, ride.

That's what I normally say or think....But, after reading a thread on another HD forum about "Riding on winter roads," I'm scared my bike will fall apart in no time at all from the corrosion. Not sure who to believe, so I'm going to error on the side of caution from now on.

I will be patient and wait til a good rain to wash off the roads surface of the winter crap

With all that salt, it will rust the metal parts, they will fall off and it proves my point that they will go faster.... :huepfenlol2: :bananarock: :orange: ;D :nervous:

Will just walk past the bike on my return from a week in NOLA. Missing out on a great day at home today. Tomorrow more snow forecasted for St. Louis, so no riding this weekend.

this is what I did this week, finished putting trees and a 23" on my ride waiting on my fender now.

Dropped her off at the dealer to get some stuff done.
1. Installing a replacement tour pack lid. The original had a paint defect.
2. Coolant bottle filler neck program fix to stop the burping of coolant.
3. Thermostat is leaking at the elbow like everyone else's is.
4. Front left speaker is playing at 10db lower volume than the other 3 speakers.
5. Program the ECM so that the spots are on even with high beam.
My guess is #4 will not be fixed, but we'll see.

"Coudn't have carried all that stuff without the Bushtec; what a great addition that was!"
That's the next big ticket item on our wish list for those long trips. I'm thinking of an n-line model, but we'll see.
How did you like the 2" baffles on this trip?
-
......................
More than you wanted to know, to be sure.
Absolutely not, thanks for the details. I'm seriously considering the 2" baffle for our bike but wondered about the long trips and sound influence. We both like the deep rumble of a good set of pipes, but there is a line that I do not want to cross when that rumble is so loud that it interferes with our ability to communicate during a trip. I'd like to be somewhere deeper but not "louder" than a set of 4" Rinehart's.
We're also evolving/looking to go either to a 3/4 or full face from our 1/2 helmets for various reasons. I'm leaning to the 3/4 helmet.
-
Finally got my first ride in this year on my bike. Rode about 30 miles, felt great to get out even for a short ride.
-
Ordered an Evolution Triple-vent jacket, some boots, and gloves from House of Harley for their 20% off with free shipping deal - not directly something on or for the bike, but definitely bike-related. This is my first really nice riding jacket - looking forward to trying it when it comes in.
On a real "for the bike" note (pun intended), I ordered my Stage 1 Kit from Fullsac today! :bananarock: Anxious for that to get here so I can get to work!

You gonna luv it!!!! What baffels?

I know most go with the 2 inch, but when I told them I wanted the deeper tone but not a whole lot more volume, they recommended the 1.75 inch. While I'm not crazy about spending another Benjamin if they are too tame, I can at least buy another pair or wait until they show up for sale here from another member (although last attempt at buying something from a member here wasn't too good).
Anyway, whoever I talked to says that Steve runs with the 1.75's and feels that you get the nice deep tone but only just a little more volume than the stock mufflers. If that ends up being the case, it will be perfect for me.

I have the 1.75 baffles on my CUSE6. IMHO you'll love the sound, nice mellow and deep at idle and just enough bark when you twist the throttle

Thanks, Phato - appreciate the reinforcement. I'll definitely provide an update once they're in, but it will be a few weeks before that happens. Kit arrives next Monday, but it won't be until first week of April before I can get to it. :(

Also, put the Ohlin's rear shocks on in Daytona - that was worth every cent.

Good call on the Ohlins. -- I'll probably look into having the 30mm Ohlins cartridges installed in the front-end. Not sure how that will work with the Road King's headlight cowl that covers the tops of the fork crown.
I'm going to do the cartridges this fall, or maybe sooner whenever I'm up to pulling the ENTIRE front end of the Ultra apart.
-
This is what mine looked like the Saturday before heading to Daytona. Installed the 944's on the rear and the HD Premium fork kit (lowered 1") on the front. Still fine tuning the 944's, front is awesome.

Thanks for posting. I see you got the chrome speaker trim too. Is there also chrome surrounding the gauges? I think I like the look better without the chrome, but I'd sure like to see in person.

I did not add anything to the gauges. Only the speaker and touch screen. Not sure if I like it yet. Easy to pull of and discard if needed.

Took mine out of storage (father-in-law's equipment barn) to ride home in preparation for starting fullsac installation tomorrow (it was 55 here in lower Michigan today). Assembled my new J + S motorcycle jack, and got the bike up on it. Love the new jack.

Mega-bummed. :(
Started working on the bike today for the Fullsac install. Got all the OEM exhaust off, added some more chrome to engine, and grabbed the new Fullsac header to put it on - the new pipe did not come with any mounting flanges. So, I'm dead in the water for at least a few days. I'm sure Steve will get it sorted, but I specifically took some time off from work to get this done.
Tomorrow's another day.
Tru - who is definitely Blu today :-(
-
FXD_TG sounds very helpful Tru-Blu! If correct, that would be GREAT!
-
Yes, your supposed to reuse your stock flanges and C clips.
-
Ok, maybe I'm missing something, but there's a slight bell flare at the end of each pipe - so how do get the flanges off? Also, Fullsac's description for the pipe lists "CNC-machined billet flanges" which I would assume to be new mounting flanges.
I'm great with reusing the stocks, but how do you get them off and onto the other pipes? I apologize in advance if that's a stupid question that I should clearly see.

They can be a bit a of a bear to get off, but they do come off. Kind of bend and twist with a pair of pliers - starting at one end.
Grab one end of the "C" and get it up around the pipe flange and walk it around and pull it off.
Regards,
Mark
P.S. If you don't mess up the gaskets getting the pipes off, I recommend leaving them in there. Installing the new ones is a bear, too.
I had a heck of a time (on my first install) getting the gasket to seat flush. They make a tool, but I wasn't gonna' invest for one install.
When I did my brother's bike, we just left the originals in. They were basically brand new anyway.
-
Figured it out before anyone replied, but thanks to those who did. I think the most appropriate line would be from the movie 'Top Gun.' "The State Department regrets to inform you that your sons are dead because they were stupid."
It took me a grand total of 2 minutes to get the C-ring retainers off, and find that the flanges slid right off.
Geez <face palm>
We now return you to your regularly scheduled and intelligent content.

Went for a short 100 mile ride to the dealership that is the farthest away to buy some more chrome polish. Ran into a couple of riders, one had a Road King and the other one a Limited. Ended up standing around and talking about our bikes and all the past and future mods for a couple of hours!!! Instant friendship. :)

This is more like what I did on it one day, then the next, then the next, and yet another day. I'll throw a summary/lessons learned in the Intake/Exhaust thread, but figured I would chronicle some of my experiences (and stupidity) here since it still fits with the top of the thread:
Fullsac Install - Day 1 (Monday)
- Removed exhaust system from the bike (2 hours) - A little slow, but I was trying to be careful. Took pictures of clamp positions in hopes that it would help with re-assembling.
- Installed and updated MasterTune software (30 minutes)
- Install additional chrome pieces to engine (4 hours) - I love a fully-chromed out engine, and I wish Harley would make more parts/covers for the 110 because trying to wrestle with Kuryakyn parts flat out sucks
Fullsac Install - Day 2 (Tuesday)
- Start installation of new header pipe (1 hour) - Realize that there are no mounting flanges on the new header pipe. Call Fullsac and leave a message. If I would have just spent the 2 minutes removing the C-Clips, I might have tried to slide the existing flanges off the pipe and saw that they would come straight off. I come from the automotive world where the flanges are on the pipe, and can't come off. So if you don't have flanges, you don't have a way to install it.
- Disconnect heater wire from wall outlet (5 seconds) and opt to let it fall instead of setting it on the ground. Stare in horror (20 seconds) as said cord falls the wrong way and hits the bottom of the left hard bag (that was only partially covered up) and puts a tiny nick/chip in the paint.
- Install HD chrome head bolt bridges on engine (2.5 hours - 1 hour spent looking for a hex stud insert that I dropped) - I'm breaking the rules on this one, and I'll probably pay for it later (which means I'll end up taking them off). I love the way these look, but I am afraid of what it's going to do with the air flow to the area in the middle of the heads. Had to dremel the outer side of each bridge so that the spark plug wire could be removed and put back on easily.
- Get out torque wrench in preparation for head pipe install. Remember it was broken from over 10 years ago, and was not replaced. Run to Sears to get a new one (1.5 hours)
- Finally start installing head pipe (1 hour) - Had wife help with holding and watching front part of the pipe so I could get it aligned in the first shot.
- Start re-installing heat shields on new header pipe (2 hours) - Yes, that's right - 2 hours. I could not get them to align like the way they were on the factory pipe. I realized it was a different pipe design, but I felt like I should be able to do it. Finally gave up and left them as they were. Overtightened the shield between the muffler and the upper shields, and put two small dents in it from where the clamp mounts were.
- Install cross-over pipe (30 minutes)
Fullsac Install - Day 3 (Wednesday)
- Remove old cores from mufflers (2 hours) - Yep, another 2 hours for something that most guys are getting done in about 30 minutes. I was completely paranoid of going too deep and going through the muffler wall (almost did on one can). Started wailing on the core trying to break it lose while the muffler was sitting on a small table. Forgot that I had left the Dremel sitting on said table, and watched it fall and break the grinding disks and bend the screw holding them on.
- Install wrapping with new cores (1.5 hours) - Yet something else that should have taken about 30 minutes. I wanted to use all of the wrapping so that the new exhaust wouldn't be much louder than stock, but just sound better. The first can went great. The second can I had to do 3 times before everything went in, and managed to get it stuck on the 2nd try which required pliers to pull back out.
- Install mufflers, heat shields, and end caps (1 hour) - Realized that the end caps have to go on before the muffler heat shields go on AFTER I put the heat shields on.
Fullsac Install - Day 4 (Today's schedule)
- Finish installing end caps and reinstall muffler heat shields
- Re-install right foot board
- Program ECM with new fuel map
- Re-install side covers and bags
It's been pretty disparaging that something that most guys are finishing in 4 - 6 hours is taking me 3.5 days to complete. While I'm no master-mechanic, I've done enough to consider myself to be decently competent (motor swaps, chassis rebuilds, etc). But, at least it will finally be done. Sorry how long this was, but if you were able to have a chuckle or two at my expense then it might be worth it.

Sounds like a lot of frustration........but the end results is what counts most. That is, unless you were working on my scooter and charging me 75 bucks per hr. :nervous:
-
Dude... I feel for you. I think most of us have had at least one "project from hell" while working on a bike, car, house or in our real jobs.
On a lighter note, I was waiting to see the "drank another beer / shot" in there somewhere, similar to the old "how to change your oil" schtick just to add color:
1) Wait until Saturday, drive to auto parts store and buy a case of oil, filter, kitty litter, hand cleaner and a scented tree ($50.00)
2) Stop by 7/11 and buy a case of beer, drive home. ($20)
3) Open a beer and drink it.
4) Jack car up. Spend 30 minutes looking for jack stands.
5) Find jack stands under kid's pedal car.
6) In frustration, open another beer and drink it.
7) Place drain pan under engine.
8 ) Look for 9/16 box end wrench.
9) Give up and use crescent wrench.
10) Unscrew drain plug.
11) Drop drain plug in pan of hot oil: splash hot oil on you in process. Cuss..
12) Crawl out from under car to wipe hot oil off of face and arms.Throw kitty litter on spilled oil.
13) Have another beer while watching oil drain.
14) Spend 30 minutes looking for oil filter wrench.
15) Give up; crawl under car and hammer a screwdriver through oil filter and twist off.
16) Crawl out from under car with dripping oil filter splashing oil everywhere from holes. Cleverly hide old oil filter among trash in trash can to avoid environmental penalties. Drink a beer.
17) Install new oil filter making sure to apply a thin coat of oil to gasket surface.
18) Dump first quart of fresh oil into engine.
19) Remember drain plug from step 11.
20) Hurry to find drain plug in drain pan.
21) Drink beer.
22) Discover that first quart of fresh oil is now on the floor. Throw kitty litter on oil spill.
23) Get drain plug back in with only a minor spill. Drink beer.
24) Crawl under car getting kitty litter into eyes. Wipe eyes with oily rag used to clean drain plug. Slip with stupid crescent wrench tightening drain plug and bang knuckles on frame removing any excess skin between knuckles and frame.
25) Begin cussing fit.
26) Throw stupid crescent wrench.
27) Cuss for additional 5 minutes because wrench hit bowling trophy.
28) Beer.
29) Clean up hands and bandage as required to stop blood flow.
30) Beer.
31) Dump in five fresh quarts of oil.
32) Beer.
33) Lower car from jack stands..
34) Move car back to apply more kitty litter to fresh oil spilled during any missed steps.
35) Beer.
36) Test drive car.
37) Get pulled over: arrested for driving under the influence. ($2,500)
38) Car gets impounded.
39) Call loving wife, make bail. ($1,500)
40) 12 hours later, get car from impound yard. ($75)
Cost of oil change: $4,145.00
But you know the job was done right!

This is more like what I did on it one day, then the next, then the next, and yet another day. I'll throw a summary/lessons learned in the Intake/Exhaust thread, but figured I would chronicle some of my experiences (and stupidity) here since it still fits with the top of the thread:
Fullsac Install - Day 1 (Monday)
- Removed exhaust system from the bike (2 hours) - A little slow, but I was trying to be careful. Took pictures of clamp positions in hopes that it would help with re-assembling.
- Installed and updated MasterTune software (30 minutes)
- Install additional chrome pieces to engine (4 hours) - I love a fully-chromed out engine, and I wish Harley would make more parts/covers for the 110 because trying to wrestle with Kuryakyn parts flat out sucks
Fullsac Install - Day 2 (Tuesday)
- Start installation of new header pipe (1 hour) - Realize that there are no mounting flanges on the new header pipe. Call Fullsac and leave a message. If I would have just spent the 2 minutes removing the C-Clips, I might have tried to slide the existing flanges off the pipe and saw that they would come straight off. I come from the automotive world where the flanges are on the pipe, and can't come off. So if you don't have flanges, you don't have a way to install it.
- Disconnect heater wire from wall outlet (5 seconds) and opt to let it fall instead of setting it on the ground. Stare in horror (20 seconds) as said cord falls the wrong way and hits the bottom of the left hard bag (that was only partially covered up) and puts a tiny nick/chip in the paint.

I had the last 4 days off with awesome weather no less. So I rode a couple hundred miles each day and also managed to install a set of heat demons grip heaters. However, the heaters do not work. The left one is defective. Heat Demons is sending a replacement but it won't be here until after I leave for another trip to work. Just gonna be a little bit of a pain to disassemble again but the weather was just too beautiful not to put it all back together and ride!!!!

Went for about a 30 mile ride to burn off the oil on the new Fullsac pipes. The 1.75" cores were perfect for being pretty much as loud as stock, but sounding 1000% better.

Added a Corbin "close" seat with a nose job and added heat to keep the wife happy. It moves you closer to the handlebars which allowed me to roll the bars forward which gives me a much better grip on the bars without changing them to taller bars. The nose job which narrows the front of the seat puts me flat footed now which makes for much better footing. The drivers backrest is just icing on the cake.(http://i990.photobucket.com/albums/af23/deldago/40b6ba87-45db-47e0-9710-8bad17bd2948.jpg) (http://s990.photobucket.com/user/deldago/media/40b6ba87-45db-47e0-9710-8bad17bd2948.jpg.html)

Picked it up from the dealer after a new stator install and dyno tune to get the thing running better. Got it home and changed out the GB doors to the magnetic ones and installed my rain sock under the cover of my air cleaner so I don't forget it when I wash the bike or get caught in the rain.
Dyno sheets on another thread
glove box doors.

I move my tourpak around the same way depending on how I will travel. Haven't done it yet, but I think it would look better when forward if the lid had the SEEG CVO style back rest.
Looks like I have mine back just a bit further. The speaker pods fill up the gap pretty good too.

Hey Jimmy before I decided on the swinebox I was concerned about that gap that the Harley tourpak leaves also. I had found some dummy pods on fleabay that filled the gap. They were the same size and shape just no speakers. If you add speakers you are going to have to add and amplifier and such. I will see if I can find those dummy pods again and post a link to them.

Here are the dummy pods. I found them faster than I thought I would.

Wife and I, along with 2 other couples rode from about 35 miles south of Atlanta to Dahlonega, Georgia then over to Helen where we stopped for lunch. Hundreds of bikes out cruising through Helen (95% Harley's). Probably 75 Harley's were at the patio restaurant where we stopped at for lunch, all lined up in a row out front with my CVO right in the middle. :P They had a really good guitar player / singer entertaining the crowd.

I hear you loud and clear..........thats why I am still flip floping!! IMO, the SERK is more fun to ride, but at what cost? One of the hardest times is when the Kid comes around me on the built CUSE and there ain't nuttin' I can do bout it.

Tell him you want to ride the CUSE and if he says no pull the parent card and tell him he is grounded. That's what i'd (attempt) to do!!

I put on a new brake pedal and floor board spacers from Softbrake. It made a world of difference for me. Now I can hit the brake without lifting my leg. I also put on a new windshield from Freedom Shields. Hat my exhaust and header pipes put on two days ago. I'm ready to put some miles on now!
-
The Hayden is a great add on. You wii love how the bike will smooth out. That hd stock tensioner really sucks if you ask me. :nixweiss: Recently I added the hd extended rear brake lever. Very comfy and makes using the rear brake so much easier. I don't have to move my foot much also. :)

Do you know if the extended brake lever will fit 2014 cvo limiteds?

I did notice a difference right away and I thought I read that a few miles might be needed to seat in the chain. Much better and quieter. As far as the extended heel shifter, I had one of those within two months of owning the bike. I dropped it down one notch so when I want to find neutral real easy I just use that one. The heel of my boot will line up the shifter even with my floorboard perfectly to find neutral.

Installed the Hayden Tensioner, kinda by circumstance. Installed a new compensator about a month and 2000 miles ago. As I posted, the deal was fantastic and warranted it for me (including a clutch basket with my Barnett Scorpion cloth installed in it) even though I put in a 120r around 7500 miles ago. They have been more than fair (maybe even unfair to my advantage) with me since the beginning even though I went out of state to buy my bike. A couple of weeks ago I noticed a knocking sound coming from my primary at slow idol. My warranty runs out on April 24th so i took it in and they broke down the entire tranny (under warranty) and even tried putting another compensator and primary chain in it so that everything would be new. When they told me they were going to do that for me I told them to go ahead and install the Hayden partly because I was actually starting to feel like a mooch and thought I could at least give them some work that I would pay for plus was hoping that with all of that the knocking sound would go away.
Good news is though I really didn't have any complaints about the shifting or finding neutral, it definitely shifts even smoother now and is cool how it "clicks" into gears which makes me feel like I didn't just throw away money on a mod I wasn't looking to do. Bad news is at cold start up, it still has the "knock" though it will only do it for less then a couple of seconds and then goes away. I have only put a couple of hundred miles on since I got it back on Friday and it never did it after it was warm but I am hoping as the primary chain "breaks in" it doesn't start doing it like before.
Didn't mean to ramble, the Hayden is great...
-
I agree. The Hayden makes a big improvement all around the primary. I'm glad I put one in also, Stuart.

Got my Progressive Suspension installed, went with the 444s and the cartridge kit. Was not sure what to expect, bumps seem a little harsher at low speed but smooth out at higher speed. Bike does not feel like it wallows around curves now it feels more stable. So far I am happy with it, I think I just need to find the sweet spot setting for the rear shocks yet and then I am sure it will smooth out more around town

On Easter I took my son in laws Mom for her very first ride EVER on a motorcycle. Just a quick ride down the subdivision street before I noticed she had on flip flops. Turned around and came back.
Her husband of 50 years passed away last fall and she's still been a little down. But by all the laughing on the back I think the CVO made her day.
She told her kids that a new Harley is on her Christmas list.

How'd you go about doing the paint? Looks good.
First I removed the little black plastic pieces out of the grooves, they popped right out with an eyeglass screwdriver. Then I covered the insert with painters tape and cut out the grooves with an exacto knife and sprayed them with the rustoleum cobalt blue metallic. This did pretty good but the tape had creeped into the edges of the grooves a little bit in some places. So I gave them one more coat without any tape on them at all and immediately wiped the chrome surface with a paper towel dampened with nail polish remover. There are still some places that could use a little touch up so I am thinking about getting a pinstriping brush, spraying the brush and doing the touch up, with the nail polish remover at the ready.

You don't have to have a GoPro to use GoPro Studio 2.0 and I've found it to be very easy to use and not overly time consuming for splicing clips from raw digital into a movie with music, text overlays, etc. The trick for me was finding a GoPro mega-geek's site where he produced a series of videos that take you through the basics in about 20 minutes. There are hours of additional "tips" but just to get going the first four or so are all you need. The written instructions are about worthless.

Personally I like where you have the camera mounted, the front wheel gives a visual perspective of the ride more than if all we saw was the scenery in front of you.

Currently installing new lifters, daymakers and CD turn signals, along with a complete service. Pulled the old lifters out last night, and luckily they are like new. Bike has about 6600 miles. Put the S&S Premium Lifters in last night but still have a bit of work to do putting the engine/bike back together. New daymakers are in and look great...still need to do the turn signals. Great time to do some deep cleaning of the bike also and make it like new. Have to be ready for a week long trip in June up throught the Northeast.

LMAO I knew someone would ask that question. It drove me insane also. There were several bikes following me that did not know how to get where we were going and I did not want to lose any of them. That car was slowing down and speeding up so much I don't think they knew where they were going either!!

Thanks guys. After a couple 300 mile rides caused severe assoditis(?) I figured looks aren't everything when it comes to bike seats! I wish I could tell you if the DG seat makes a difference ride-comfort-wise but we have had the monsoons for the past 3 days. I'll report back as soon as the weather allows. For now, I am pleasantly surprised that the seat looks much, much better than I expected.

Went to Vroomshoop, Netherland, and bought an orange 2014 SERK for my friend. 800 km from home (500 mi) was closest I could find. Could have gotten a grey one cheaper but he only considered orange.
Started at 16–30 and was back home 01-00 in the morning. Most of riding time in the rain. Found the stock seat to be OK. Found my new helmet to be PERFECT.
I highly recommend the dealership in Vroomshoop (what a name for town!) if you happen to be there. Family run for 3 generations. Nice people and lots of goods!

Yesterday evening put on the Daymaker Reflector headlight and mirrors with LED turn indicators, same as I have on my bike.
Was not happy about having to cut off connectors and splicing wires. Funny thing is that the dealership offered me adapter harness (part nr 69200897) and the connector on the harness was ALSO WRONG!
I don't know WHO they make this for. All the 2014 HDI bikes sold here come with either projector type Daymaker or dual halogen headlight. The harness is useless in both cases.
I have no prob splicing four wires but come on, they sell this lamp for 500 euros here!

using the innovative storage solutions, in-the-bag (4). same set you can get from eglide goodies, only direct from them, it's $10 cheaper. to be fair, i noticed that i didn't have the little bag with the air pump and gauge back in the bag yet when i took the pic. but there is still a ton more room. the only downside is that it doesn't fit quite the same way that it would if the bags weren't extended. the regular bags it'll sit flat, but with the extended bags, the bottom of the bag is curved where the cutout for the exhaust is, so it sits a little crooked, and of course, the amp on the other side. good thing the double sided tape that the moco uses to hold that amp in is not that great. i just slid the amp up, put the bag in, then slid the amp down again. it's still worth the $60, imo..... i'll at least be able to put the saddle bag liner in when we go on a trip now.

Oh man! I had no idea you're in C'ville! What a beautiful town! Our daughter is enrolled at UVA and we are down there all the time. Next time I'm riding down there I'll let you know and hopefully you have time to meet up. The beer/wine/drink of your choice is on me!

Another shot of my bike with Danny Gray Solo seat which I installed right before the VA vineyards trip over the past three days. As I said before it is a very comfortable seat. I rode for 500 miles and no problems with comfort at all. And as much as I think the stock seat looks better, the DG does look good and goes well with the lines on the bike.

A few months ago I picked up a pair of locking doors for the lowers from a guy on HDF. Since I have no desire to carry an extra key, I looked in to getting new locks or cores to match mine......Dealer quoted over $200, I said "screw that". Bought a pair of pushbutton fuel lid latches and used them instead. Now I have nice, sealed storage that I can access while I'm riding.

I added a D&D Boss Fat Cat to my CUSE5 (2010). Since I have the Power Vision along with its auto tune kit, I needed additional bungs for the other O2 sensors.

After a lot of thought I decided to change out the headpipe and add a tts tuner. Got an extra headpipe at the laughlin river run for free and cut the cat out.(Keeping the shock one just in case) With the help of Steve from Fullsac all went well and ready to ride.
There are a couple of post in regards to engine idle and oil temps that I will comment on as I put some miles on her.

You will really like that, Jesse. I had to adjust my mounting bracket to really take advantage of the new LED on Ginger. I like my low beam a little bit higher than called for with the factory/halogen light. The phase 7, once you get it set, will make you wonder why you waited so long. Plus, with the look it has just sitting gives the bike a different look.

Rumor has it that y'all have really good pork tenderloin sandwiches there. So a buddy of mine from Long Island are meeting in PA, leaving the trucks there, meeting a few other friends outside of Chicago, then ending up in Guttenberg, IA. We'll spend Saturday riding around there, Wisconsin (and maybe Minnesota), eat a lot, cruise a bit on Sunday morning, then ride home.

Dropped mine off this afternoon for a new rear sneaker and installation of the HD dual cartridges in the front end. I'm optimistic that the front suspension mods will make a noticeable improvement.

phato,, don't hold your breath,,, i did my front end with the hd kit,, was disappointed big time.. mostly that the bike still nosed dived on abrupt stops...i went back to stock parts, with heavier springs and hd fork oil; was good to go ever since stuart
-
I'm hoping that the cartridges will minimize the " vague" feeling best described as a lack of feedback from the front end during moderate speed sweeping corners. I did notice that the '14 's exhibit less brake dive and feel a little more "planted" with the single cartridge setup they have. I guess I'll find out if it helps soon enough...

I have been bike sitting for one of my brothers 2003 RKC. Went for a ride and immediately realized how bad the stock front is compared to the Traxxion Ak20's on my CVO. Guess I just forgot about how stock was after riding several years with the AK20's.

Stuart, I don't usually disagree with you but I gotta say I do on this one. I have the Ohlin 6's on the rear and the HD cartridges on the front and I think the combo is fantastic. Spent a couple of hours on the new 6 GTL BMW a little while ago and obviously it handled great but I would put my bike "right there". Maybe I am just that "brain washed"..

I never touched the rear. Set up is still bone stock. The front end the way I have it works fine for me. I have progressive springs and I find the front is just right. Brake diving isn't too bad. You gotta have some. Just the the hd double cartridge didn't do it for me. The set up is good for Florida' s mostly flat roads. Just sayin.

Put the covers on the bikes in their new room off the garage in the new house and tarped off the doorway so the contractor can use the garage as a shop to finish the renos on the new house while I'm at work for two weeks..

Talked with Frank Dragos about the new pipe I have ordered; Their chromer is having an issue with their polishing process so all the chrome pipes are delayed...
Frustrating as I can't wait to install the Dragula! The FatCat makes good power and its beautiful but..DANG! it's loud! Hoping the Drago will be more pleasing to these tired ears. In the mean time, before leaving for work today, I had to go out to the garage and just admire the silly thing. :apple:
I love this bike!

Franks pipe has plenty of bark but it's a bit mellower then the fatcat imo. I've run both.

Today I received the extended clutch and brake hoses (+4" that I may not need).
So tomorrow I'll start the 575 chubby install.
Wish me luck!
I'll post some pics when I make some progress

Picked up the bike from the dealer after the HD premium dual cartridge install. Right away I noticed that the brake dive is much reduced and the front end does have a stiffer and more planted feeling, no lack of feedback from these at all. I need to take it easy until the new rear tire gets a few miles on it - just my habit, might not be needed but it's the way I've always done it - Later this weekend we have a nice long ride planned and after that I will have a better idea of just how much improvement has been made. At this point it seems to me like it's a definite improvement.

Went to go for a putt yesterday and the engine turned over once and then the starter just clicked. So, pulled the battery, made the fifty mile trip to the dealer to have it tested. It checked out to be bad so they gave me a new one under warranty. Run back home and install new battery, start bike and go for the putt two hours late.
All's well that ends well.

Went on a 400 mile ride to get a hotdog. The one and only Hillbilly hotdogs of Lesage, W.V. They have been on the food network with their 'HOMEWRECKER" hotdog, 15 inches of pure unaltered Americana covered with everything. If that isn't enough they have a 30 pound hamburger that feeds 50 if you brought a crowd! If you are ever near Huntington W.V. it is definitely worth the trip!

Very nicely done.

Like the looks on your buddy's bike. See if he can give you the specs on the one he has and also how tall he is. From what I've read on Madstad's site, I should be getting a 14.5" shield. Don't know if I can live with the looks of it though. The 13" I think I can get by with. Just don't want to spend over $300 on something if it isn't going to work for the wife on the back.

10" windvest -bought from a former coworker. WAY TOO SHORT
13" KW Flare - Didn't fit for crap and it beat the hell out of me.
Current is a 13" LRS Mako. Best one so far but still get beat up with the half helmet on the highway. Debi doesn't complain about the wind but I know if I'm getting it with the 1/2 lid, she's getting it worse.
Now we did get new Nolan modulars this year for traveling and that makes one helluva difference on the highway but always looking for something better in the shield department.

I left the lights on for over a hour and a half in the driveway after a nice ride this morning (had to get the lawnmower out...which reminds me, the lawn still needs to be mowed...ugh), so had a panic attack whilst putting on my boots that I'd have a dead battery. Thankfully, Scarlett started right up and got her back into the garage. It's near 100 degrees right now at 1:40....hmm...think the lawnmower may have to sit out front a little longer. Thank The Lord we have a putting green in the backyard!

Haha, you ain't kidding! We left out of Breckenridge at 730AM Sunday. Me and the Mrs both had full leathers, heated jackets and gloves, and rain gear on. Rain/fog/snow into the west side of the Eisenhower Tunnel and out the east side the trees and grassy areas were snow covered. Roads were just wet, but we managed to find some cold-ass rain and tiny hail coming down from 11000'....
Still wasn't as bad as the time we were going over Vail Pass at 10PM in October on the way home, with more cold rain and thunderstorms. with 18" apes, I felt like I was holding onto to 2 lightning rods that day. Vail Pass was dark as hell that night!

I found about the only place they could go and fabbed a bracket to squeeze 'em in there.
Why, yes, they ARE pretty loud!

Pulled my WO577s back a little. Made a huge difference. Much more comfortable and my right hand doesn't fall asleep like it was. Now I'm happy that I got the 12 s. :)
Stu I've tried to explain to people it only takes an inch to make a difference ;)

I was actually looking at doing something very similar. Looks pretty good, except the picture is very dark and can't see your handy work to well. :2vrolijk_21:

Went to the dealer for the fuel gauge recall (again), an oil leak and vibrations at 3000 rpm.
Waiting for the call...

I've had Kuryakyn Hidden (dual trumpet) Horns on my bike for 6 years that are also tucked into the same location. Still work great - nice & loud!

Had my "medium" distance seat re-covered/stitched. The grey didn't come out as I had anticipated, but the stitching
is a pretty solid match for the pin stripe, overall pretty pleased with results. Next winter I will re-do it so the grey matches
more to my liking..

Swapped out the Wood directional lifters with a set of S&S lifters, pushrods and installed a set of S&S race tour mufflers. The top end is now whisper quiet and exhaust has a nice deep tone to it. It's like a new bike again. Felt great on a short 30 mile trip to check out all the new parts.

not much today... Took off the windshield, switching around seat choices and the passenger back rest. Getting set up for shorter rides. That would be less then 300 miles per day kinda stuff =)

Took to the dealer for 5k service and ABS Brake Recall. Hopefully get her back in time to ride this weekend. :)

Nice, we'll be heading up to the Maryville TN, area next weekend on "Blue" via the Cherohala & US129: it's one of our favorite rides.
We'll spend Fri, Sat & Sun cycling around the Great Smokey's with friends before heading back over the Dragon and Cherohala and down to Atlanta.
Just got the Bushtech out to make sure I remember how to pack our tandem bicycle and cycling gear in the trailer: it's been a while!

I agree it's a personnal choice. My choice is that if I can't ride the MC there I am not going.

With all due respect, some people work a tremendous amount (65-80 hrs/6 days per week) and use their mc as their release on the 4 days a month that they are not working. It can be very difficult if the rally is a entire day or more away to be able to make it at all. If that is your lifestyle then why not ship your bike there, fly in when you can, ride and enjoy like crazy and then get back to "doing your thing" that allows you to be able to support all the people that depend on you (not to mention be able to afford this expensive hobby..) and put around 10000 miles a year loving it.

Didn't do it yet, but will be going out in the garage to see just how bad the damage is from a dump truck that passed me last night with a full load of mud/dirt and a door that was not latched. A quick look last night under the mud shows at least one big divot on a bag lid and several chips in the fairing.

When I was in the market for a GPS.....I was debating between a 660 and a 665.....I called Xm/Sirius to see about a deal on two subs...one for the Jeep and one for the bike......would not budge on price....so I hung up and ordered the 660.
Now I have a free year in the new Jeep and am amazed at how poor the reception is....certainly glad I'm not paying for it!!

Spent a couple hours washing and detailing the bike this morning while it was nice and cool out.
Will take her for a spin after I complete a couple projects around the house.

When I was in the market for a GPS.....I was debating between a 660 and a 665.....I called Xm/Sirius to see about a deal on two subs...one for the Jeep and one for the bike......would not budge on price....so I hung up and ordered the 660.
Now I have a free year in the new Jeep and am amazed at how poor the reception is....certainly glad I'm not paying for it!!
Mounted my 660 this weekend and changed the hanging bracket on one of the saddlebags.

Took a short ride from Virginia Beach, Va to Rocky Mount, NC and back. Had not ridden in almost 90 days; Had 8 hours of surgery to repair my broken tibia plataue - Got to say my orthopedic surgery was excellent!!! And the ride on my 2013 EG was much needed. Stopped by Church to thank God for His blessing and rode some more - started breaking in my new motor received at the 19,500 mark.

Installed the Premium Ride Cartridge Fork Kit. A bit of a pain playing McGiver rigging up a spring compressor but it worked out. Less dive under braking and the ride feels firm without being harsh like the stock setup.

Put on my new Freedom shield, got ready for bike night.. then watched it pour down rain from a cloud out of nowhere... Oh well, at least the windshield looks nice...

Disappointing dyno run then a new rear tire.

He's the man! I was with him yesterday. We had a blast. :D

Well, it wasn't today, but I recently added a Brukus Boot Shield to my ride. Works great - no more boot heel burning onto the rear pipe and they offer CVO forum members a discount.

Rode 274 miles. Another 240ish tomorrow. Another 500 on Wednesday and then another 500 on. Friday. Not much but it's a work trip and sure beats driving or flying

how many miles you get out of the other tire ?

I'm blaming Jimmy (2K) for planting the idea:
-
Actually I wanted to provide a little "fill in" lighting to the area directly in front of the bike - under the LED's if that makes sense, and off to the edge of the roadway since the LED's don't "spill" light off to the sides as much as the Halogens. I still need to finalize the aiming of them, but they are mounted and working :2vrolijk_21:

Just over 11,000 miles. On my 09 I got 16,000 to 18,000 on a rear. The bike did have 7,000 miles when I bought it though.

Seems to be the norm. I got 12k from the rear tire before the noise and handling in the corners drove me nuts.

If we weren't leaving on a trip next week I probably would of held off for another 1,000 miles. Never noticed any noise from the tire, but you sure notice a difference in handling when you put the new tire on. ;D Here in Indiana there isn't allot of twisty roads.

Will do. I did an extended test ride on one, and was blown away by just about everything about it.
-
Nice looking bike. A friend of mine just came back from a trip out west on his. He said the bike performed well but had to stop and get new tires to make it home. He only got 3000 miles out of the old ones. That was very disappointing to him. Understandably so.
-

I've read up on them. Suspension and engine power are impressive. The biggest problem I have is the looks. Just can't hold a candle to my CVO. Don't care for the rider position as well. But probably the most important issue is my wife don't like them so no use in going any further lol.
-
I didn't care for my RT at all. My GS Adventure on the other hand was more fun than should be allowed on two wheels. That bike oozed character, and the wife loved riding on the back (which is bizarre, since she's only 5'2" tall). Were it not for outrageous oil consumption, I'd still have that bike.
The K16 has more of a relaxed, upright (rather than arms forward and feet back) position that is comfortable for me. Of course, I'll still add highway pegs, but that's just a no-brainer. There's no getting around the fact though that they're just not pretty bikes (in the same way a Harley is). My GS/A was badass to look at, but it wasn't a, "damn that bike looks good" at the gas pump sort of bike.
The K16 ain't either, though it's far from ugly.
I dunno, we'll see what happens at the dealer. I'll either spend the weekend putting everything back on my bike, or loading down the classified section with a bumper crop of parts.
-
They're the 3" Kuryakyn lights that mount to the fender mounting bolts.
Two questions.
Do you happen to have the part number? I looked on Kuryakyn's site but couldn't find them.
Any idea how they compare to Moto Lights?
Thanks,
Joe

The Kuryakyn p/n is 5008. They are H3 halogen bulbs and so far have met my goal of filling in the area under the Daymakers with light. If you have a pile of extra cash laying around they sell an LED conversion for them -- but it's a few hundred bucks for that in addition to the $350 that the lights cost. I skipped that because I wanted the light to "spill" more than the LED's do.
I can't directly compare them to Motolights because no one I ride with has those. I can say the installation of the Kury ones was straightforward and clean.

Walked by the bike this morning before work. This nice weather in St. Louis is killing, me since I have not been able to ride since Sunday. Planning on going on a 100 mile ride tomorrow between projects.

Yeah has been some great riding weather here lately

Collecting parts to do a big upgrade. So far got a 58 mm TB, Merell Injectors, and just arrived is my new pipe. A V&H stainless Pro Pipe. What a sweet piece of equipment. Will see what the dino reads after the install in late Sept.

Took her in for the 15K service. :2vrolijk_21:

I agree. Any longer trips or cooler weather and that tour pak is on and I always worried about the way it kind of hangs out over the ass and detracts from the taillights. That LED light bar is pretty too IMO. I got a great deal on it from a forum member but the trim was in Cobalt blue as it came off a 2010 CVO Ultra. I sent the bezel to Joe @xtreme and he absolutely nailed it and I thought it was cheap as well. All came together nicely. Really think the screaming eagle emblem sets it all off.

Say it ain't so! I can't imagine getting all the mods done all over again and the seat and handlebars the way i want them. I finally have mine the way i want it minus a couple tiny things. I honestly haven't had a single new bike catch my eye from hd since 12. Maybe the 15 cvo sg will but i doubt it.

Considering that my bike can pretty much be return to stock in less than a day (other than the bars) and I can sell off the stretched bags and fascia, I don't have a real attachment to it that I can't overcome with a new bike. :2vrolijk_21:

Anything mechanical is just a toy for me, easy come easy go. I owned 29 motorcycles so far and don't miss any of them.

Hit some back road twisties to break in the new rear tire.

Didn't ride it but took it down to no side covers, bags or seat and gave it a thorough cleaning after a couple weeks of riding in the rain to work. Just got through and the sky opened up yet again. At least it's clean and dry in the garage ready for the Monday commute... ;D

90 degrees today. Perfect for sticking some rubber into the turns. Heading out now! :coolblue:

Went for a "practice run" with bike loaded down for the trip next week. Also installed and tested the headsets on the helmet I never wear. Bike handled great fully loaded.

What I did on my CVO today.....rode to work and looked at the new 2015's before the morning meeting....decided thare ain't nuttin that can pry Ginger out of my hands this model year....went outside, looked at my 2012 and had a really big smile on my face.....will have that same smile on the way home this afternoon.....
I like my 2012 and all the fun/issues that came with her. It's why I spent the $30K or so in the first place. My plan in March 2012 was to keep it for many, many years. After 2 1/5 years and 25K miles, nothing has changed my mind.
Ride safe, fun and keep it between the ditches...
UPDATE: just saw the blue and orange 15 SESG. Sho b purdy. But nope, keeping my 12 :2vrolijk_21:

I took a ride to a dealership 115 miles NW of me on my old worn out 2012 CVO SG. Goddamn I love that bike 21k and counting!
-
Made another appointment with the dealer to look at yet another issue. Geez this is getting old.
-
Got drenched in a monsoon last time out, so gave my '14 SERK it's first bath.
Then put on two coats of carnauba (man, those Agitator wheels may look great,
but are a pain in the ...'hands'...to clean!) and took her for a couple hours' spin.
The bride doesn't understand how a good detailing can take HOURS!
Maybe she's jealous?

Today, I wait for the dealer to fix my CVO, the heated hand grip quit working, it also lost the bolts holding the head pipe on, and it need a 30K service. I hope to pick it up this weekend and check out the new bikes.

Well, After getting my 2012 home from Las Vegas, I detailed her completely. What a BEAUTY! My ONLY complaint after 700 miles is that the after market mufflers are a bit too loud for my tastes. I prefer a quiet rumble to a dull ROAR :D I would like to TRADE these muffler for stock HD CVO mufflers in similar (immaculate) condition. These have 3000 miles on them. Any takers?

Could you put a different baffle in these pipes? Maybe that would do the trick to tone it down a bit, vs. changing out the whole exhaust.

Yesterday - I rode it 679 miles to the Upper Peninsula of MI and back to Detroit. Also had just picked up the powdercoated windshield hardware and put it together for the ride.

That may be a solution, but I am also a stickler for STOCK and would be happier if the bike were 100% original. These mufflers are beautiful, and do sound really good, but they are not stock and too noisy for my tastes, so quieting them with different baffles would resolve one issue, but not the other.

Had the dealer busting my balls that I need to pay for additional labor on a warranty issue. Not impressed! We'll see how well they treat me tomorrow.

Hardwired my old Zumo 550 to the wiring in fairing, tried a Zumo 660, didn't like it prefer my Zumo 550.
Installed and wired a Permanent Gerbing Temperature Controller on the left mid frame heat deflector.

Finally got to ride the bike (life has gotten a little too hectic as of late) to pull the trigger on a CVO RG Ultra or Limited. The trigger was not pulled. :(

Finally was able to install the garage door opener. A little bit of a hassle, would not have been so bad if the instructions were more clear. Lots of errors and omissions in the instructions, which they probably do on purpose.
Anyway, works great, certainly worth the effort.

Nothing I was too busy riding it! 196.5 miles and in the garage just before the rain hit! :2vrolijk_21:

Removed the freakin reflectors from the lower legs upon my return from picking up my new CVO RK last night.
Changed mirrors, adjusted shocks, removed and cored the mufflers, today. Did get to try the cored mufflers for about 10 miles. Still a little too quiet but I may get used to it. Wish it wasn't raining here so much the last couple days,

From Dunlop's website regarding balancing.
It is essential that tire/wheel assemblies be balanced before use and rebalanced each time the tire is removed or replaced. Unbalanced tire/wheel assemblies can vibrate at certain speeds, and tire wear will be greatly accelerated.
All Dunlop street tires should be installed with the balance dot at the valve. Wheels may be balanced with spoke nipple weights, lead wire or self-adhesive rim weights. Consult the motorcycle manufacturer for approved wheel weights.
Dunlop does not recommend the use of dry or liquid balancers/sealers and will not warrant tires into which these materials have been injected. Tire and wheel assembly balance must be checked with a balance stand or computer wheel balancer.

Then I'll buy a new tire if that time comes. Too many ugly weights and too many falling off and damaging fenders.

i just went thru this bs, new tires chrome weights on my contrast wheels & the OE weights were left on the rim opposing the new ones (not happy) a lill bitching and they were happy to do over for me...kids!!
-
I've got an appointment at another dealer who's 30 minutes further from the house to do a re-balance and otherwise double check the work. It's not as conveniently close to where I work as my former service center, but... Well, I'll leave it at that.
I like that .... "my former" part, bikes cost us way to much to settle on shoddy workmanship from the dealers. You're lucky you have choices unlike some of us. :(
-
Personaly I would have taken the old weights off and cleaned the glue residue off myself. requested chrome weights be put on when balancing.
We have CVO's for a reason, we are just dam fussy and take pride in our bikes. ;D

Interesting reading. I see you have a comment on it already from someone at your former dealer.
You're dead on about the customer service aspect of things. I use a different dealer than what I started out with a little over two years ago because of similar issues.
-
I was glad to see someone at the Dealership actually commented, hey that's a step in the right direction. As has been said I too have had less than pleasant visits to my local dealership. Unfortunately there aren't many options for visiting others.
-
Great blog article... I think sometimes dealerships work on so many bikes they forget how special your bike is to you as the owner - big mistake. My local dealer is close to home, next is well over an hour away so I hope things remain friendly.

Purchased a pair of Motolight caliper mounted lights and had them installed by my dealer when the bike went in the shop. Included was Ultra Bright LED lamps, wiring harness for FL and braided cables. I view these as a safety asset for the ‘triangle of light’ system. Had one issue – the bolts sent were incorrectly threaded so there’s a black bolt in place until I can change them out. Motolight still offers forum members a discount and are an excellent firm.

Rode from Maggie Valley GTG to Deals Gap, ate lunch, did the Dragon on new RK, then to Cherahola Skyway and back to MV. We passed a cop while coming back on 74 while doing 100. She must have been eager to get home caused she didn't turn around and give us coupons.

Well, the plan was to take off and ride to the mvgtg with my lovely wife but she had to go into work. I already had the day off so instead of taking the trip without her, just rode to k'ville hd on Clinton hwy while she toiled away. Walked in and guess who I ran into? Deserthog (Simon) was on his way back to NM and in the shop getting his oil changed for the trip home. Saw him at the counter purchasing a shirt....would'a known him anywhere from the pics on our website. We had a great visit (talked about an hour or so) and he was on his way. I introduced him to the owners (DJ Brown and his father, Dile) and they discussed a possible future purchase... ;D
Really enjoyed getting to meet him after reading his posts and the pics from the site. Class act that Simon. Safe travels back home, brother. The picture is after the service was completed and he's talking to the K'ville HD owner, DJ.

So at the moment I don't ride mine. The BMW and the Guzzi are much more fun to ride for me so the HD sits in my garage with stuff pilled on it. I only rode it 5K miles so far this year. I might add another 2K miles this summer but 7K miles is just pussy riding for any bike. (Although I be North of 15K in total this summer in total)
So I am either going to sell the CVO Limited or build a glass bar around it.
What is a fair price to list it for? $29K seem realistic to be? Going on eBay after new year.

Got caught in a small rain shower on the way home from the get together in Maggie Valley. Still managed 510 miles. Only @ 450 miles left to cover tomorrow. Oh and had a front wheel weight come off and somehow hit my right boot sole as I was going along. Had to stop and check the bike over because I had no idea what the heck hit my boot.

I wonder when Le Pera added the backrest. When I demoed their seat they did not have one so I went with C&C. I like the Le Pera better because it was firmer. The C&C is too soft.

Fitted quiet baffles to my V&H twin slash ovals on my 14 SERK. The Dresser Duals had made it a bit too loud in my opinion. It now sounds more mellow and doesn't have the very loud "crack" on hard acceleration. Still loud enough for my liking. Also remapped the FP3 for the new baffles and took the opportunity to change the throttle responsiveness to "moderate" and to increase the idle speed by 20 rpm. Used the Autotune feature for the first time and she is running really sweet.

not today but took off yesterday afternoon and changed all the fluids on Ginger....including brake and clutch fluid. Never changed the clutch fluid before so a bit nervous but all things worked similar to changing the brake fluid. A big thanks to grc (Jerry) for the advice and great short-cut/time savings ideas. Much appreciated for the help, Jerry. The velcro idea made it so much simpler and was one of those "why didn't I think of that" ideas.

Miss Susan, Hubbard and I rode the Back of the Dragon today to Marion, had lunch, then rode the big road back home. I hadn't ridden Rt 16 in several years and wanted to compare it to the Tail of the Dragon since we rode it last week. Back of the Dragon has a lot more elevation change that's for sure, and tighter curves.
Put the RK up on the lift in preparation for exhaust changes later this week. Then gave the SEEG a little love and rode her for the first time since buying the RK.

What did you do to or on your CVO today?
After 9 1/2 years of riding with the highway pegs at the top of the engine guard, I moved them down to a just off the floor board position.

After attending to my 91 year old Mom, I go for my "Coffee & Cowchit Ride" out in the boonies. No traffic, lots of wildlife, & best of all.....the smell of the Cows, Horses & Orange groves. Weather permitting of course.
Used Autosol all over the exposed chrome while the bike is still somewhat apart. Lots of calcified water spots in those hard to reach arias. Now all the nooks and crannies are glowing like brand new.

I took the day off and rode 425 miles ;)

Waiting to picking up a new bike after putting a down payment is always a long wait, what are you buying?
Left a deposit on Hard Kandy Mercury CVO SG. Not sure when it's coming, I was told it might be after the new year if the dealer cant trade for one. The first round of CVO SG's in my area were sold before they hit the floor. Found a dealer selling at MSRP so I'll wait it out.

Received my TTS,2 inch Fullsac Cores, screens and installed them all this evening. Had an issue with the cd drive on my laptop but Steve Cole worked with me over the phone to download all necessary stuff from the TTS website. Thanks Steve..
Once I got that fixed I installed the cores in some 2012 mufflers Otis had and then installed a decatted head pipe, mufflers and Fullsac map.
Bike is noticeably louder and seems to spool up faster. One other beneficial side effect is that a vibration I had around 2k rpm is significantly reduced. The factory exhaust must have been in a bind or something, transferring vibration to the bike. Anyway I'm especially happy with the outcome!!!

Rode up to my Dads house. Installed a new freedom shield on his trike. He saw mine and said he wanted to get one someday. I bought one and tried to surprise him with it. He's still cool at 75 years old and loves his new windshield.

What did I do to my CVO today? Nothing! It's too damn cold out!

That is a nice improvement. I'm thinking of installing the same exhaust system on my S&S 124". The big concern I have is that it is pretty low, I already went to the 13" shocks for more shock travel but that adds minimal cornering clearance. Have you scraped the pipes or do you think it will be a problem if it is ridden hard in the corners? When I talked with Harry from Kury at bike week he checked my bike and told me I was almost through the exhaust I have and recommended the True Dual set up and told me that it was just slightly off on the performance. I talked to Steve @ GMR and John Sachs and both disagreed & told me to stay away from the True Duals and put what you have on and cool it in the corners. I like the sound & the performance your set up delivers but I don't want to create another problem. I drive two up about 30% of the time. I would really appreciate your thoughts on any clearance issues ?

Went to Clifton Bikes and Breakfast, held on the first Sunday of every month. One more left for this year and then it's time to face reality: the riding season is coming to an end. Ran across this bike, which was make to look like a buffalo, complete with the fur and this amazing s&s Shovelhead replica engine.

Ray,, I lreally like the power cell. I have learned to be a little less aggressive in the corners. Where I live it's not a biggie. Mostly flat here. I went with John Sachs suggestion. He likes this combination and it really works well. Every once in a while I might hear something during a hard corner. Stuart.

Had to clean mine with a rinseless car wash Saturday for a ride Sunday because it was rainy all day. Rode to Starved Rock with a small group Sunday for lunch. Was a little cold and had a few light showers but still got in 225 miles.

Gave her a quick wash after riding in the rain on Saturday at Ride to the Wall. Gotta love that Tribal Orange in the late afternoon October sunshine

Well, today was a great day. Rode down to see my pop yesterday in Summerville and to Low country HD today with him on the back. It's been almost 35 years since we rode together on the same motorcycle and I was the passenger then. My how things change. Great day.
We met up with mikeytee (Mike) at the shop, had a great lunch and visit and got to see where the "stuff" is made at his house. All in all a great visit, ride and day. We took away a bit of desert courtesy of Mike.
This is such a great site with some absolutely wonder folks on it. Thanks Mike for making the day with my pop that much more special.

Great day for a ride. Temp in the 60's so I rode over to the nearest HD dealership in MD to see if there are any good deals on a Limited or RG. $3600 over MSRP! Oh well, I can wait...
Saw this beautiful green limited MSRP $29k. Normally not the color for me, but...

And what's in Mike's special place you ask? Well, just a small sample of what's there.
Really had a great time Friday. Should'a stayed in SC as it was a beautiful day coming home on Saturday until I hit the NC state line. Rained the rest of the way home. Still, 900 miles in three days, great visit with my pop and with Mike on Friday and hey, a day on the bike in any weather is better than sitting at a desk at work.....

The fall colors have peaked and it was a perfect fall day, upper 60's, lot's of sunshine, and a light breeze. Saddled up with my wife and swung by my uncle's. Rode down to Ogden to check out this years #1 ranked pork tenderloin in the state. 100 miles round trip. Took the back roads nothing but orange, yellow, and reds. Beautiful!

Kill it out back, cook it inside....can't get much fresher than that, Jesse.
Rode mine to work today after 6 straight days of rain. Changed out my K&N back to the factory AF. Took my lunch and rode over to K'ville HD West to visit my good friend at the parts counter. Could not ask for a better day today weather wise.
Also sat on one of the new Limited low models. Really liked everything about it EXCEPT the seat. Felt like I was sitting in a hole and not very comfortable for the male parts. Did like the new thinner/less wide primary cover....not too shabby and it's a retrofit back through '09. That baby is slammed...shorter than my SESG (we measured). Should be a great seller (if you change out that seat)

Last good AF cleaning was prior to heading to SC (two weeks ago). Washed it out with the K&N cleaner, allowed it to dry, spot cleaned it a second time (again let it dry), oiled it (learned not to use much....a little goes a long way) and reinstalled. Got back and it looked like it hadn't been cleaned in two years. I love the K&N filters (have them in all my cars) but with the way the filter element sits in the weather on our bikes, it really collects "stuff" easy and I refuse to use the rain sock all the time....just when it's raining. I like wrenching on my bike just like the next guy but I'm tired of doing the filter shuffle so often. Even if it's newly cleaned, it looks like crap (to me anyway) after just a short time.
Just one of those obsesive/compulsive deals with me I guess. I know it's clean, just doesn't look it. I get a good discount on the stock filter at the local dealer. What I save on the K&N cleaner and oil can offset some of that cost.
A long answer to a short question.........
-
I understand. I just bought the agitator but I have to install it this weekend.

Put the rain sock on inside of the AC, not my original idea, it was posted some time ago. Yep, you have to put a hole in it, on the other hand, you don't have to worry about rain. In that same post someone said "pantyhose" does the same thing, if you don't want to put a hole in your SE sock.

Oh by the way, rode out to Englewood Beach for lunch, blackened grouper, as good as walleye.

Y'all have had some hot weather. Been a cooler, dryer Summer here in East TN. Last few weeks have been very wet, however. I'm hoping that the wet stuff is done for a while.

Depending on the length of your stay, I certainly hope you can get down to Galveston and maybe take the ferry across and do a loop around the bay. Last year my brother and I took the coast road down to Corpus Cristi and back through the Hill country on Thanksgiving weekend. Never dropped below 50. Although a little chilly, chaps, heated seat, grips made it a very nice ride!

Our route takes us to http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/state-parks/lost-maples (http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/state-parks/lost-maples) Lost Maples which will hopefully be starting to show the fall colors.

Would love to have that kind of spare time this trip but not to be. I have to be there by 0700 on Wednesday so blasting down on Tuesday (or may start out after work on Monday) and on my way back home on Friday.
The bay ferry and Corpus Cristi rides sound like a blast....maybe next time down.

Jswerve,
I bought one early this year and had it on for about 2 weeks. I swapped it back to the stock 110 air cleaner. No reason, I just missed the 110 on the air cleaner. Go figure.
If you know anyone looking let me know.
They do look really cool though. I think they make the V of the v-twin standout.

I patiently waited for one to appear for sale at a fair price. Finally nabbed it. Sachs says it's probably Harley's best air filter in terms of air flow. He said the stock ac restricts a bit. I like the style so what the hell.

Just rode another 100 miles. Can't believe the weather right now. Upper 60's and low 70's and tons of sunshine. Looks like we get another week or 2 before putting the toys in the garage. Got 300 miles in this week so far.
Looks really good!

Thanks guys! Out riding taking pics with fall colors. Post later!

I installed a Halfsac Core. Meaning I got one Fullsac 1.75" core on my bike and then had to run to the airport. Will get the other one installed next weekend then time for a tune.

Battery light was starting to appear. It was almost 3 years on the original and it was time to replace. Wasn't about to take any chances while on a 250 mile ride home from daytona on Sunday. All good now. Stuart.

SOLD IT!
At least one of them anyway... I sold my 2005 SEEG Jalapeno today and although I will miss it very much, I just wasn't riding it enough to justify keeping it.
It had 81,824 kms (50,331 miles) on the dial as of today, and when I purchased my 2008 Duracell the '05 had over 62,000+kms. As most know those darling SEEG's really love the open road, so I'm pleased that it went to an avid rider.
Now it will get ridden on a regular basis with a very excited new Screamin' Eagle family member in the saddle.
Not only is he new to SE's, he's new to the Harley family!

26000 miles.. 2 things Jesse I don't play around with on my bike. Having good tires and a good battery. I broke down once years ago with a bad battery. Never again if I can prevent it. Plus it's nice buying new things sometimes. My tires were just replaced too. :)

Just fried an original 2 yr old battery, always on a tender. Almost made it to Parker dam and it died going around a corner..........it was 108F. They told me they didn't trust a battery after 2 years there.

That sucks but it makes sense. I keep mine on a tender all winter. Temps in my garage stay between 36 and 40 generally.

Yesterday I rode the bike for about 150 miles doing some errands and then a nice twisty road for some fun. Then I washed her when I got home.
Today I will ride her a couple hundred miles, but first I am riding her for a TV commercial being filmed on the Foot Hills Parkway.

My first one lasted 4.5 years, battery tender only over the winter. When it died - it went dead - right now - and I had to park it and go buy a battery 45 miles away at a dealer on a sunday .........
That was August 09. That replacement is still in the bike, 6+ years. Battery tender goes on every time the bike is parked in the garage. Even when in the camper the tender is on.
I know I got a good one, and I can tell the time is near. Just hoping to squeeze it out until they start salting the roads.

That's not chicken it's a pork loin. This is prime Iowa farmland ;)
But did you know that the breaded pork tenderloin was invented in Indiana? 1906 at Nick's Kitchen in Huntington IN. Yes we have a lot of places in Indiana with really great breaded pork tenderloins too! We ride to as many as we can! Made it to Nick's Kitchen a few weeks ago with a few of my buddies. Also had sugar cream pie there (another mid-west treat! :2vrolijk_21:

Found out while riding for the filming it is being used for several things. Some show on Public television that will air beginning of the year. It will also be used by SMHD for many things, promotions and advertising.

Did a very good wash before I went over for it.
At first the had several runs of us, about 24 bikes on the Foothills Parkway. Then they picked 8 bikes for some more runs on the Parkway, Joe and I were two of the 8 picked for that.
Then they shot the 8 of us on the beginning of the Dragon, TN side. Then they did 3 bikes running the whole dragon, I was not one picked for that. That was the Owner of SMHD, The GM of SMHD and another, The owner and GM ride at 10/10ths Owners floorboard are ground down and is both sides of his exhaust on his King.
I think each of us that were chosen for the extra 8 will get a copy of the whole thing.
So Yesterday I road mine on the Foothills parkway and the Dragon.

Quiet Baffles came in the mail today, will put those on this weekend to see if I like the deeper sound on the big radius pipes.

10/10ths?
Many times people say they push a bike to 9/10th of the bikes capability. Well Scott, owner of SMHD push his bikes to the full limits, 10/10th or 100% of the bikes capability. He drags all the hard pars, floor boards, pipes, floor board brackets, there is no lean at all left in a bike to push it harder.
The is a picture on the Wall at SMHD of him riding with his wife on the back, sparks coming from the floor boards and pipes on the dragon.

Got up early this Saturday and installed my second Fullsac 1.75" Power Core. Went much quicker than the first one. Only took me slightly more than an hour. Then I took my '15 FLTRUSE off to Duke City Harley to get a Dyno Tune. Mind you, I decided to keep the stock header and just open up the baffles. Right now I do not feel much, if any, heat coming off the header. So it will stay this way unless next summer proves to be too hot with the catalytic converter. If so, then a DX pipe will be installed.
Anyway, here are the results. I don't know how much is attributed to the tune using a richer air/fuel ratio and how much, if any, gets credited to the baffles.

I had changed the fluids last week in Orange Crush but had not had occasion to ride it since. When I changed I put Mobil 1 in the motor and primary, and Bel Ray transmission lube in the tranny. WOW what a difference, I had one lifter/pushrods making a bit of noise previously and that seems to be have quietened down considerably, and the transmission definitely shifts smoother than before. That is not to say it shifted poorly before, it was fine, but quieter and easier now. I'm gonna have to try the Bel Ray in Ol Betsy when I change her fluids next time.
Also got a kuryakyn license plate setup and installed it as well along with my metal plates that finally came.
Regards
Shrader
-
I run Mobil 1 in my motor, Mobil 1 4T 10w-40 in the primary, and belray in the tranny. The mobil 1 is quiet at first but after 1 or 2k gets a bit noisy. Love the primary oil and the belray in the trans. I'm going to try the 10w-60 liquimoly in the engine next.

Left with the wife Friday am to Faribault HD to get the bike checked over after putting 350 miles on the new motor.
Checked out fine updating the tune (132hp/141trq), and had a new rear tire put on. Had a great time up there both at the shop and downtown, very friendly people. Came home today looking forward to a great ride tomorrow.

Metro, Silver Eagle, and Hawkeye Harley are three that are close here to me. Great people and customer service.
Down fall is, none of the three tune with TTS. Jason at Faribault HD has good reputation in doing so and has proved it to me

I've been to McGrath in Coralville quite a few times and we stop at Silver Eagle on the way to the Mississippi river frequently. I also like Dubuque Harley. I deal with Ernie's in Algona. Closest to me and so far the best treatment.

Maybe hook up some time in the future to put a face to the names... You may know, McGrath is building a new store west of Theisens, and there is a rumor that it will be Iowa's largest dealership??? Also, had a great ride today, 100+ miles even though a little on the chilli side starting out, hitting a few bar/resturants keeping up with Sprint cup race. Congrats to Dale Jr.

My bike has a TTS on it and I was under the impression they tuned it at Metro. The guy I bought it from did all his dealings with them.
Long story short is when I bought the bike I bought it from a private party. He was taking my 09 as a trade and using it as a trade on his new CVO. The dealer actually did all the paper work so it saved both of us taxes. Worked out well.

Jack, Let me re-phrase that. They may be able to tune with TTS, but not have it mastered as some others...
When I bought my Fullsac set up, Cams, header pipes and DX pipe. Silver Eagle loaded the can tune, other than that
they had no experience in that software. As not all of the same bikes run the same on a can tune, Jason at Faribault
tuned it to perfection. I know when I was out at Metro 3 weeks ago getting a battery checked due to starting issues, we first check to see if the ACR's were enabled, being I have a built 120 installed. They could check through the ECM, but not change anything due to I have the TTS. Ended up being a battery anyway.

Interesting. I may have to find someone close to me to redyno it. The guy I bought it from had Metro do the work I thought, so figured they had experience with the TTS. Good info. Thanks.

Corrected the rear air shock E.D. issue and bought the pencil pump. Upped the pressure to 38lbs. Hopefully that will stop the bottoming out.

My experience with the HD rear air shock system is that the only way to stop the bottoming is to replace it with a quality performance coil spring shock. I have used both Works Performance and Bitubos from Traxxion. I am really likely the Bitubos I put on my 15 FLTRUSE. Suggest you look at the discussion session on suspension.
Good luck,

You beat me to it, Simon......
-
That may be the case in a bit but not right now. I ended up taking the stock air shocks to 42 lbs. I really can't believe how much that changed the handling. I was really shocked to find that the dealer (or whoever) loaded it to 15lbs from the showroom. When I saw that I thought it was a screw up. Then I talked to a buddy that bought his 2 weeks after mine from a different dealer. Found his was set the same. If you read the guide that is set for like a 150lbs rider with no cargo and no passenger. A bit of common sense would say they should be set higher than that as a base.
-
Simon and Haird have it right. I think the best use for HD air shocks is as an anchor for my Jetski. Took about 6 pounds off the bike switching to Ohlins and now it rides right and does not bottom.
-
I just realized that I never posted a picture after adding an air wing rack to the swinebox tourpack a while back. Well here is a picture but there is a stupid helmet strapped down to the rack in this picture. I will have to take some better pictures when I get back in from offshore.

reinstalled the front lowers w/speakers... You think I would have done that BEFORE I rode to Daytona last week. It's All Good! They go on, they go off...From lifting the bike at start and putting the tools away at finish, I have it down to 12 minute swap.

Took an hour or so off work and had two new tires installed and purchased a new battery in preperation for the trip next week. Not bad price wise for all three (I installed the battery). Got a great dealer that works with me on pricing...even though I didn't buy Ginger from them. However, I have spent my share on bikes from the Brown family over many years. Except for one issue years ago, have always had an enjoyable experience at their shops.
Lord willing, headed to Houston Monday......

Spent the day replacing most of the bolts with stainless ones. My stainless bolts are now on their 3rd Harley. Every time I trade a bike in on a new one I take all the Stainless hardware off ready for the new one.
It made a huge difference. Been one of my gripes with the CVO that you pay so much for it and it is covered in all that good looking chrome which is in turn spoilt by the MOCO's use of Nick Cadnium Bolts and fasteners.I have always just bought the appropriate stainless bolts and polished them myself. Only takes a couple of minutes per bolt.

Only 3 cars 'got in my way' in each direction between Port Albernie and Ucluelet. Not a drop of rain...but had a cloud 'pouring' off the side of a mountain. Probably the last good ride of the season.

Fitted a visor style headlamp trim ring to my SERK. Instructions say to fit the new trim over the original trim ring but I have fitted it instead of. Seems to fit ok and is secure. What has everyone else done? I spoke to two other owners at a rally, one who had fitted over and said it was a bad fit and the other that had fitted it instead of and said it was a good fit.

When I did my 2012 cvosg, i left the original ring on, but stuck a strip of 3/8 foam all the way around it before installing the new outer ring, and this seemed to center the new ring better. If this makes sense.

If anyone wants a visor for their headlamp, I have a chrome one that's essentially unused. Bought it, installed it... didn't like it and removed it. Been sitting ever since. $20 plus shipping...
If it is the same one in the photos, I will take it.

Removed my tour pack without using the quick release kit. It is actually pretty easy on the 2014/2015 CVOs and leaves you with a nice clean look. When switching back and forth the tour pack will just sit there without the bolts. With the new design of the rigid tour pack mount the front of the mount slides into the opening first and holds the tour pack in place when the back of the mount is set down. Down side is it takes about 10 minutes longer to switch out compared to a quick release setup. Up side is way cheaper. :2vrolijk_21: I used the HD curved license plate mount with the Kuryakyn LED license plate frame. J&M hidden AM/FM and CB antennas. 2013 Street Glide seat with a back rest from a 2009 CVO Road Glide and the plastic chrome filler strips from a 2014 Street Glide to fill the slots where the tour pack mounts. I also pulled the saddle bag lock wiring out of the main tour pack harness and ran the wiring under the top chrome rail so that they do not have to be messed with switching back and forth.

Great job. Glad to see your bike made it before winter :2vrolijk_21:

Looks great Joe.
Joe told me about how to do the wiring Harnes and the plate modification. So I used that when I set mine up solo a couple weeks ago.

Another. I used quick detach hard ware as I will run my tour pack solo when its on.

Again, with Tour pack on, solo

How do you set up for a solo tour pak? Thanks Billy
-
Mounted the tour pack to the George Anderson relocation plate, also had to slightly modify the arm rest plate to make it work on a CVO. Then removed stock wheels and replaced them with 2015 Aggressor wheels/tires, etc. Pretty much done now, other than waiting on custom horn cover from Joe to finish it off. Like the wrapped fenders he is doing, but gotta stop somewhere. Ha, did anyone every say this gets addictive?

Had the V&H Power Dual Head Pipes mounted and SERT.. Came out to 92 RWHP and 110 RW ft.lbs torque. Sounds really nice and is much cooler to my right heel.

I took the Tour-pak off today and install the 4-point detach rack mount. I got the plate relocated for the most part but I need to pick Dave or Joe's brain and determine which wire I connect the plate holder LED lighting.

I took the Tour-pak off today and install the 4-point detach rack mount. I got the plate relocated for the most part but I need to pick Dave or Joe's brain and determine which wire I connect the plate holder LED lighting. I know I want the running light so I figure it's either the red/yellow or the blue. I am guessing red/yellow but waiting for a thumbs up or down from the definitive source.
Looks great. :2vrolijk_21:
As far as the LED lighting goes take the taillight off and there is a blank 3 pin connector next to the where the tail light plugs in. Looking at the connector the inside pin is the positive and the outer pin is the negative. Leave the middle pin empty. When the bike is in the run position the LED gets power. HD sells the individual pin connectors (73191-96). After I connected the pins I used some clear silicone and partially filled the connector and once set it will keep the pins from vibrating loose. If you ever need to take it apart the silicone is pretty easy to dig out.

Nope, stereo works just fine only 2 fewer speakers. I think the amp might be up front under the shark fairing. The '11 fltruse had the amp in the rear.

Simon,
You are correct, the amp for the rear speakers in in the fairing on 14 and newer CVO RG, and Limited.
-
Thank you Simon. Nice option to have to move it back. Plus adding the arm rest makes for a very happy wife :)
Are those the HD rests?
Can your wife put "weight" on them?
My wife likes to use the backrest as a lift point when we see a bump. I added speaker pods and mounted them up against the backrest to give it added support because of that.

Yes they are, HD. . They will easily support her arms, I would recommend putting her weight on them.
Most of the time, your already across the bump before you can react quick enough anyway. They say the fitment is not for CVO,
all I had to do was to notch out two screw access holes to run the tour pack bolts though.
-

Over the years I have gotten pretty good at reading the road when BSR'ing. I see something and just give a quick "body move" and she knows to brace herself. We can probably minimize 9 out of 10 bumps this way.
It's the big ones she sees coming. She will lift her butt off the seat using the arm rest extension on the back rest.

Well, not today but over the past week, put 2,059 miles on Ginger. Knoxville to Biloxi, MS last Monday, Biloxi to Houston on Tuesday, conference on Wednesday and Thursday, Houston to Prattville, AL Friday and Prattville home on Saturday. Had a great trip, Ginger ran like a champ (glad I put those new tires on her) and the Hilton let me park her right up next to the door in an alcove so they could keep an eye on her and keep her out of the rain (rained Wed. and Thursday all day in Houston...glad the company supplied a bus to the office...)
Did not get a chance on Friday to run to the Galvaston, TX rally but passed a LOT of bikes heading that way as I was heading East on I-10 Friday. Maybe next time.....
Ginger got a full wash and wax yesterday.....she deserved it. Only issue was Vickie couldn't make the trip with me as that would'a made it perfect.

Thanks for the reply. I'm in Maryland for the week, its nice here for now, but temps are supposed to drop mid week. I'm afraid to look at the Chicago area weather for next weekend. I'm guessing that I might be done for the year also!

Marty,
I guess the weather is going to or has already changed for you in Ontario. In Calgary over the weekend we had apprx. 12 CMs of snow and right now the temperature is -16 C or 3 deg F. and tonight it will be low - -21 with or -6 F with a wind chill factor of -29 C. By this weekend it will warm up to a high of -2 C and a low of -11. However all is well as I rode my bike to Phoenix in September and I will be down for a short stay from Nov. 24 - Nov. 29th. In between I will be up in Fort MacMurray next week, oh the joy.

And again today. Heated grips definitely work but it would be nice it they turned off when you want them to. Hopefully just a bad switch.

Wife and Road today about 30 degrees . only 75 miles but sure feels good and the engine love the cold to. Heated gear was great. Sure makes owning a bike well worth it . we get 3 extra months a year plus going over mountains and night riding is great. Billy

The control on the left doesn't turn them off most times once they have been turned on. As long as I don't turn them on starting out in the morning they stay off. Sounds like the left grip with the controller needs to be replaced. SMHD is going to call the MoCo Monday to get the ok to replace it.
-
Ok. That makes sense. Good it does not come on, if you did not have it on when you start the bike. I have heard some seats are doing that too.

I find that on my heater control the palm rubs against the control and inadvertently moves it to 1 or 2 setting. They remain warm even when turned to 0. The control is much looser than the heated grip on my '11.

Cleaned up all of the electrical wiring on my 2015 Fltruse for the KTP detach kit and added a second set of Deutsche connectors under the seat to makes things neat and tidy for both 2 up and solo riding. Just need to add some Painless loom wrap to finish things off and a few tie straps. Slid the pak back an inch while I was at it so momma has a little more reclining space.

Parked the 15 FLTRUSE out on the driveway for a bit while I was cleaning up the garage. Making more walk around/work around room. Getting rid of old chit that's been out there for over a decade. Going to take out half of my wall length wood work bench and make room for TourPak, Sissy Bar and Saddlebag Hangars along the wall. Will also make room for some of my stackable shelving to hold seats, helmets and takeoff parts.
Was a bit chilly today at 38oF. Won't get up to 55oF until this coming Wednesday.

Decided 49°F and drizzle wasn't all that bad and took Miss Debbie out to the local tavern for hot wings and football, then over to one of her favorite clothing stores and by our local H-D dealer where we succeeded in adding a few things to her wardrobe. For some strange reason I've always enjoyed riding on the days when weather isn't "ideal" and thankfully, Miss Debbie just loves to be on the bike!

Walked by the bike several times this weekend, she's covered up and hibernating. We have had some cold temps here, salt on the road, snowed yesterday. Too early for that stuff here.
-
Put the CVO to bed for the winter with a fresh oil, tranny, and primary change along with a good detailing. Still got two more bikes to do that to. Hoping for a warm up here, but it ain't looking good. :'(

Shorty CB and radio antennas.. Cheapest thing I have done to her yet.. Would have went with the hidden antennas but heard bad things about the reception. They do look a bit better and I think they will be a little better going into the toy hauler...

Installed the 19" Tall Road Glide Windshield. I am hoping this makes a big difference for me with regard to wind in the face/helmet and helmet noise. I will report back after I get a ride in this weekend. I thought it might end up being too tall but I can see over the windshield just fine.

The reception will be a little less as far as distance goes but definitely better than the hidden antenna.

I replaced my shorties with the stock antenna because reception was so poor when I live. Local stations are 30-70 miles away, and I could only get the 30 mile away stations sometimes.

I'm thinking about getting a Fuel Moto exhaust in the spring. Jackpot pipe and mufflers. Are you still running the FM? Any thing you can tell me about it would be appreciated.

I do have the FuelMoto stainles ceramic coated header. I like the sound of this header. I do not care for the way the heat shield line up. they are a major pain in the rearend. What I did was put a couple of extra hose clamps under the two forward shields. This pushed them out some so there was no gap between the two and the rear shield. I tried so many times to line it up, this was my solution and it has not presented a problem. I love my FM Touring mufflers with the carbon fiber ring. They look good and sound great, not too loud and not quiet either. When you let off the gas they sound like a jackhammer,. love it.
I had the FuelSac with 2" cores as well. The fit was perfect and in hind sight I really liked the sound. I also feel (feel) they had a bit more power. Not sure if it was the hardware or the tune. Back then I had the TTS Tuner, today I have the Power Vision.
Personally I feel either way you will be happy.
If I could do it all over again, I would go with the FullSac gear and their tune.

Thanks for the advice. I've narrowed it down to those two. Fullsac is coming out with a Stainless version soon. I'm just a little concerned about replacing the guts in the stock mufflers. I haven't found anyone around here who's done it and I gave up doing my own work years ago.

Alright, as promised a report on the new 19" windshield for my 15 FLTRUSE.
BIG IMPROVEMENT over the stock 14" Windshield. It isn't perfect, still some buffetting from the sides but at least 150-200% better. I don't feel my head being whipped around anymore and the helmet windscreen noise is way down.
Worth the money and done waiting for the aftermarket guys to come up with a tall shield.

Thanks for answering porthole and FXD_TG.
I have been using this product for over 26 years. Back in the day it was not sold up here. I would go to Pittsburgh for Steelers games and would bring it back across the boarder. It is now sold here but still save between 3 and 4 dollars a can if I buy it across the boarder.
I have 2 other bikes in Europe and I always pour the whole can in the tank to prevent the gas breaking down. So far so good. I go there once a year so it will last the year for sure. I have also went 2 years without gas breaking down. Awesome stuff. :2vrolijk_21:

Over the past week or so on my 2010 SEUC I removed the drive components then removed the mainshaft sprocket, the bearing inner race on the mainshaft, the small oil seal behind the race, and the large oil seal surrounding the main gear. I installed a new large oil seal, small oil seal, and bearing race. I installed a new oil seal and retaining ring on the shifter pawl shaft. I removed the oil seal on the inner primary housing and pressed out the bearing and installed a new bearing by pressing it in and I installed a new inner primary oil seal. I pressed out the bearing from the clutch release plate and pressed in a new one and installed a new retaining ring to hold the push rod in place. I cleaned the clutch basket and installed a Barnett Extra Plate Clutch Kit - Carbon Fiber 307-30-20013. I used the OEM damper spring seat and damper spring. I installed a new stator because it was leaking chaincase oil out of the bore of the crankcase.
I recommend using a Lisle 58430 shaft type seal puller. It made pulling the seals behind the race and sprocket a breeze compared to the tough time I had getting the nut off the sprocket and the inner bearing race pulled. I had to heat the race til it turned blue in color before it finally broke free using the recommended 50 ft. pounds of torque so the remover tool doesn't get damaged.
-
another of the new race and seals installed.

Rode to a open house at a local HD dealer. (ABC) to my surprise I was the only one that rode the bike there, everyone else was in a car. :nixweiss:
It was 28 degrees F and sunny so it was a nice ride. Took me a half hour or so to get there.

Stole this idea from a member on another forum. Re-routing crankcase venting. The rear vent has to be positioned this way to clear the TB.

Well rode mine to FL Wednesday for Thanksgiving at my Daughters in Pensacola, then Friday we rode to Panama City Beach, then Saturday down to ST George Island. Then Sunday we road back home to East TN. Saw lows of 37 and highs of 70 during our rides. Perfect weather no rain.
-
Put a few miles (100) on it... nothing like what FLSTFI Dave did!! ;) ... and yes, nice weather in FL this weekend with temps all over the place but no rain.
With the help of a friend, finally adjusted the highway pegs. The are now perfectly situated for me.
Got some thermal clothing on special from Cycle Gear for the trip to Key West (the ride there in Jan can be extremely cold for us Floridians :P )
-
This past Saturday I took delivery of: 1. Detachable Tour-Pak Conversion Kit 2. Hand Adjustable Touring Shocks 3. Screamin' Eagle High Flow Exhaust system with Nightstick Mufflers. All for my 2014 CVO Limited.
You would think a CVO would come with the best shocks and exhaust system but no - CVO's need upgrades too!
After the exhaust system is installed I plan to have the bike dyno'd using the SE Pro Super Tuner. I so look forward to riding on a casual basis without that 45 lbs. of tour pack up there behind me. With these new shocks replacing the air ones I expect even more improved handling.
Even without all these changes this CVO is one great bike! :apple: :pepper:

The reception will be a little less as far as distance goes but definitely better than the hidden antenna.
The hidden antenna has worked very well for me. After removing the CB antenna as well the rear of the bike looks so much cleaner with no antennas. Since I seldom have the radio or any other sound on the hidden antenna will do everything I need.

Its a sad day...just dropped Rose off at the dealer for winter storage today. :(
Will not pick her up until April 1, 2015. Seems such a long time. The dealer is very understanding however...they said I can visit her anytime I want...that helped.
I am already experiencing separation anxiety.
Its going to be a looooooong winter.

Modifications are like eating hot cheese dip. You know you don't Need it, but you want it, you know it will burn your mouth, but the more you eat the more you want. When you are done, it feels good, but you see that bowl across the room and the bag of nacho chips and you just can't help yourself, you go back again. What is wrong with us?
I just placed an order with Kuryakyn, I need a twelve step program for chromeaholics.

It's not a problem until you run out of things to chrome on your bike, decide custom paint is the way to go, finish that.....Want more power so you modify the engine(with what else? Chromoly parts) and drivetrain, finish that .....and then you go out and buy another bike... you buy more chrome....now you have two bikes full of chrome and other mods....and you begin looking for the next bike......
That's when you join a twelve step program, because after the third one you started drinking ;D

Shocks will be a big upgrade in handling. I hated the handling on my 15 CVO RGU, but with new Ohlin shocks it handles like a dream.
I have a thread in the Road Glide Ultra section on doing the conversion to quick detach, parts and pictures. It's not using the HD Kit, cost a bit less, and the plate mounting looks much better. You also do not need those big bag lights that come in the kit.

WAIT A MINUTE!!! Ain't this the reason I bought a CVO...so I don't have to do all that stuff??? Didn't my dealer tell me I would not have to do anything else to the bike...it was already done for me?? I can't believe my dealer would tell me anything that isn't true therefore, all you guys with your chromed-out shiney bikes must have some kind of sickness...a mental disorder.

Other than the POS factory air shocks the bike is great out of the box.
Many like the air shocks. I hated them. I could never set them were the bike felt planted in the corners. The bake of the bike in hard corners felt like it was wallowing or mushy and loose. Could be I was so use to 944's on my 09 CVO Road Glide, then the HD hand adjustable premium low profiles on the 12 CVO Road Glide and the 13 CVO Road King that these just did not fell right to me. Once I put the Ohlins on it the back feels every bit a planted as my 12 SERG or 13 SERK, if not better.

I'm so ignorant I thought all CVO's got the HD Premium Shocks. I agree, the air shocks on standard touring rides don't cut it. I bet the Ohlins are sweet. My original plan was to get a Street Glide and upgrade to Race Tech, but I got a deal on a CVO Road King instead which was the bike I really wanted. Premium Ride shocks are fine.

On my 09 SERG I changed shocks as they were air. My 12 SERG had the premium profile low hand adjustable, which were good enough I did not feel the need to spend more money on shocks. That said, my Ohlins on the new bike are much better.

Well, on the old bike, dealer investigated a noise I told them about. One of the lifters was scored pretty good along with the cam, and the cam chain tensioner was starting to lose small chunks of plastic. Glad for the ESP. I will be buying it for the new bike as well. Oh, that cord for the iPod,,, $140 :'(
I didn't have to pay anything but the service manager said the cam job alone would have been roughly $1200 for a cash paying customer.

Sounds like the typical failed Harley Lifter. Petty common on bikes that have miles on them. My 09 SERG had a lifter fail with 44K on the bike. Failed on the show room floor right after I traded the bike on my 12 SERG.
-
Was all that damage with stock cams?
yup. As far as I know, the only thing that had been done to that bike enginewise was the D&D exhaust and the tuner. The old cams were stamped CVO 255

Yeah, woulda sucked to be halfway to anywhere and have it come apart. Good for the dealer. Makes for a better selling point that the cams and lifters where just refreshed. Not too mention the money they made on the repair. Service manager ( I've seen articles of him when he used to build engines in Fla) said they were probably good for another 10-15k miles. Hell with that. change them before they're totally gone.

Road about 250 miles yesterday on some great East TN twisty roads. While doing so, I tested the Klock werks 14 Sport light tint wind shield on my CVO RG Ultra. With the corbin solo which is about two inches lower than the stock seat it works pretty good for me. If I was an inch taller, or with the stock seat it would not work. I am 6'1". Looks way better than stock.

Hey Dave, thanks for the report on the windshield. Mind snapping a picture or 2.

Dave, this makes me believe I made the right decision in getting the HD 19" Windshield. I am 6'4" with a 32" inseam. Using the high stock seats, I can already tell from your descripition that I would not be happy with the Klockwerks solution just because it's only 14" tall. The 19" HD is way better than the stock for me and I am still looking over the windshield.

Damn FDX_TG...it lit you up pretty good!!! Looks like burnt flesh to me. I hope you went to the emergency room to have everything documented. Hopefully you do not wear the jacket and pants...if so you might go up like a human torch.
I hope it is not too serious.

Sorry it's already bike on my wife's bike. I am ordering mine today in Dark Tint.

Lets see, yesterday took it in for the 5K service. Then went for a nice ride on US 129 and the Foothills Parkway. On the way home, rolled over 6000 miles on the 15 SERGU. Once home I put my POW Flag and my American Flag on my luggage rack, and I put plugs in all the holes in the frame where the floorboards use to be.
Might ride her a little today. Will order the Klock werks 14 Sport in dark tint for my bike today.

Went to a Toys for Tots event in Totowa, NJ with my son. I rode the CVORK and he rode my deuce. Great time and fun to hang with my son.
-
I had to take a toy to work for our Toys for Tots collection drive and it was too big to fit in the saddlebags on my BMW so "Blue" got the call. Just added the quick release rear luggage rack, strapped on the Caterpillar construction set and fired up the heated gear for the 38*F ride in.
The interesting part was when a Nichrome wire in the Powerlet glove liner on my left hand decided to short-out and left a nice electrical burn on my hand. Can't wait to see what my Powerlet dealer will have to say about this little product feature.

The 14 inch Sport Tint.
Have the same on order but Dark Tint.
So far Klock Werks has two types ,the sport at 14 and the tour. The are very different. They will have different heights in both in a while.
I did a test ride of the Tour in Daytona, very good protection, but almost to tall for me. I figured with the lower seat I was going with I would want to test the sport with the new seat. I did, and chose the sport.

New voltage regulator. Funny ,. My 04 had 80k on it,, Sold it with the original one on the bike and never once had a charging issue other than an old run down battery. I'm on #3 on my sesg3. They don't make these parts like they used to. :nixweiss:

Perfect. Thanks Joe. That looks to be 1 1/4" shorter than stock. My stock shield measures 7" at that same point.

Rode about 140 miles yesterday. Noticed two thing, one after the 5K service I now have the handle bar slap when coasting down thru 40 mph. Also when I pulled into the drive I noticed coolant dripping down the inside of the right lower. So I will be riding to the dealership this AM, have a service appointment at 10:00
Oh, I also put the Klock Werks Sport Flare Dark tint on, sure improves the look.

Really - how disappointing :-\
We, and the dealer, several mechanics learned something yesterday. 14 and newer bikes have a different way to adjust the neck bearing. If you on pin and move the bars forward, you get the handle bar slap when coasting down from 50 through to 30, slap is real bad right around 40. Tried several times to adjust it per procedure and it would not be correct. Move the bars to correct location and adjusted, then move the bars back to where I had them. Seems much better and almost totally gone now.
Wonder if this is why the non CVO 15 road glides all have the weights on their clutch and brake clamps at handle bars, as our CVO RG bars are longer with more pull back?
Why the can't Harley just have a torque spec? That has to be how they built them, as they do not have time to do these tests on each and every touring bike.
So I ended up with four hours at service, no real ride.
Today we plan to ride...
-
Dave, did you speak to the tech about taller bars and if those will have an effect?

i have been thru this on both my RGs (more than once!) and now i have neck bearings over tightened (per the swing test procedure) and it will still shake when it feels like it, i have noticed that is more likely to shake if tire PSI gose under 40, so keep an eye on that. its kinda like the compensator mystery, some things you just have to learn to live with
-
Is this a RG issue? I haven't experienced it on my CVORK, but I also haven't had anything serviced yet.
-
Installed Sancho's wings and a stabilizer made by AlloyArt. Wings were an easy install but I had problems with the stabilizer - they use the same connection point as my mid-frame heat deflectors. This turned out to be a real pain. I removed the heat deflector while I think about a work around.

i wouldnt call it tank slap, its a shake in the bars on decell and it comes in at 40 MPH and is gone at 39 MPH and only happens if your hands are not on the bars, then when it dose happen all i do is touch the bars with one finger for a split second and its just fine. it is a very random occurrence,

My brother in law bought a new KTM 1190 adventure bike (not sure if thats what they call it) last night so i chased him around the mountains (obviously the paved roads) for a couple of hundred miles today. Big fun and was definitely "working" that 120r to try and keep up! That KTM is a hell of a bike
-
Thanks SBB.
Damn that tank slap is some serious chit!!! Looking like some ball slapping going on there also.
I would be getting my money back if it was my bike. I am thinking it will get worse before it gets better. I for sure would not tolerate that even if it was just a little bit.

Yes I am aware of this. Had the issue on my 09, and 12. It was due to using the regular touring bike spec, not the Road glide spec. Harley made it two different spec in 10 I think. Thing is, for 13 and older Road Glides have an older method for adjustment. The 15's have a new method. I never had an issue with it in 5500 miles on my bike. Then it was adjusted per the new method and it was violent every time. Found that they had to put bars to stock position then test and adjust. Then moved bars back to where they were. Much better now.
Is this a RG issue? I haven't experienced it on my CVORK, but I also haven't had anything serviced yet.
Seems for the most part only Road Glides. It could happen on any with the neck bearing adjusted wrong. The mistake is, all turing bikes use the same spec except the road glide. When they adjust a rg to the normal spec you get the issue on a RG
-
Are you saying all RG's have a tank slap issue? I haven't heard that before.
Wow........well after digging through the site and some reading I'm beginning to rethink a RG as a future purchase.
with the 13 and earlier road glides it was an issue when the dealer set it up wrong. Which was common as they would set it to touring bike spec, which is different than Road glide spec. I would just remind the dealer to set it to road glide spec each service, no issues when they did that.
I am the first 15 I have heard of with the issue. It was not an issue for the first 5500 miles. I tried to make it do it when I first got the bike, it would not. Bike was serviced, and part of the 5K is check the fall a way or neck bearing. They adjusted and very first ride I noticed the tank slap.
It's an issue with Harleys procedure I believe on the 15. As come out of the factory, my wife's 15 has not had tank slap, and Joes 15 CVORG has not had tank slap, they have not had 5K service, and they have not moved the bars.

Yesterday we went for a 330 mile ride, as it's was my last full day before I head back off shore to work. Weather man sure missed on the forecast, as it was suppose to go to 54 and sunny. It was cloudy and never got above 38. It was a great ride in the hills of East TN and North GA, great curvy roads.
-
I'm with you, Dave. Weather prediction in East TN ain't worth a crap. Missed the entire weekend by a mile. If I want an accurate weather forcast now, I just walk outside......
Glad you enjoyed the riding. We do have some great roads/scenery in our neck of the world. Be careful and stay safe back on the sea....God speed, brother.

Since the temps here in Central Florida have been in the high 30's and low 40's I got to play with the heated seat and grips. The grips are great with the 6 settings, easy to find a comfy temp. The seat is a whole nother story. It has 2 settings, low and scorched buns! Jeez oh pete! After a few miles of high setting I started looking like a DWI candidate, swerving around trying to keep from having a fire burst up from my drawers if ya know what I mean. Will be staying with the low setting till it gets colder but hoping I won't need it at all.

FLSTFI Dave
I bought my 89 FLTC (Tour Glide) in 1991 with 4400 miles on it. It had (Tank Slap) then & had it checked out. Neck bearings adjusted & dealer talked to the MOCO & I was told, back in 1991 that motorcycles are not to be rode with your hands off the handle bars!
80,000+ miles, numerous front tires,tire pressure OK, wheel bearings, chrome lower legs. 23 years later, it still has Tank Slap on decel around 40 mph. It doesn't happen often but I'm aware of it!
As the MOCO stated years ago. Keep your hands on the handle bars! I have just learned to live with it! :nixweiss:

Keeping your hands on the bars is not the answer, and should not be the answer. There is no reason that when properly set up that it should have the front end wobble or tank slap. This bike did not do it until the neck bearing was adjsuted per Harleys new procedure for the 15 Road Glide. My first test when I bought the bike was hands off bars on decel to see if it hand the front end wobble or tank slap, it did not. Next was to make sure it tracked true at 75 mph hands off bars.
The front end wobble appeared the very first ride after the new fall a way test was done and neck bearing adjusted. It's almost gone now after many more readjustmets.
This my third road glide. My 12 only had this issue twice, both times after the neck bearing was adjusted to Electra glide spec. Both times after the dealer was shown the difference in road glide spec it was corrected and eliminated. Same with my 09. I have just over 95,0000 miles on road glides since 09.

Ok, give it up. Who's making them? After having a very large bee get sucked up in the side vent this year during a test ride, I've been waiting for them to come out.
** never mind. A quick search found them on KW site.... and for a mere $74.95 ::)
-
Sorry OBB I should have mentioned where I got them. If I had to do it again I would have made them myself rather than paying KW 475 there isn't much to them. The install on the other hand requires removing the outer fairing. KW has a you tube video on that for those interested.

Depends on what material I find to make them with. I think black would blend in nice but the CVO is a chrome whore.

Saddled up this morning around 10 for the first time in about 3weeks ( damn rain ).
Anyhow.... North bound on I-5 for about 30 miles into redding Ca then west towards the pacific cost line. Hwy 299 W is a great 3rd or 4th gear windy road in nor cal. Stopped by Whiskey town lake for some tobacco. Then on up the 3000' buckhorn summit. Rode up to weaverville for a cold one then back home spent about 4 hours out on my scoot. Merry Christmas guys

Sorry pics aren't the clearest. I have to take them on a low quality setting to keep the files small enough for the forums. These dyno results are 82.85 hp stock up to 97.57 with the new pipe and tune (SESTP). Torque went from 96.17 ft-lbs. stock to 117.93 with the new pipe and tune. Also replaced the torque dip at 3000 rpm with the PEAK. That's an increase of over 25 ft-lbs. at that rpm. :bananarock:

I looked at that same piece of metal at Home Depot last weekend and didn't care for the pattern. Looking forward to seeing them in black.

Leave the black ones in. Just my opinion. Where did you get the metal from and how big was it? How many pieces did you get out of it? I have two sheets of 12x24 coming in case I screw up big time making them.

Joe, I think I like the black better also. Looks good.

I got the 24"x36" sheet from Lowes. Lots left over. You need about a 4"X7" piece for each vent. You'll be fine with the 12"x24".

Joe,
I have a couple of questions on the vent screens install -
How do they attach?
What do you think the maximum thickness of material that can be installed?
Thanks

When you remove the outer fairing there is a recess cut in the inner fairing that is approximately about a 1/4 of an inch wide. The headlight bezel has a small gap where it mounts to the inner fairing. The screen is cut so that the inside part slides into the gap around the headlight bezel. The outer part of the screen covers the recess and is held in place by the outer faring where it fits into the recess. The metal I used is 24 gauge and it fills the gap with not a lot of room to spare. You might be able to use 20 gauge but then it might be difficult sliding it into place.

My vote is the Black screens!
Pretty work! I love it when members find D.I.Y. And can save $$$ paying the big money to those big money companies! (However, thank you goes out to Klockwerks for the idea. :2vrolijk_21:)
Also, the new 2015 road glides fairings seems ALOT easier to take on and off then the 2013 and older models!
Any luck with the big middle vent with adding a screen?

The new fairings are definitely easier. I hadn't given any thought to the middle vent. Might have to take a closer look at it.

Hey CVOSJOE,
Yeah I agree the black looks much better. I do not own a Road Glide but am considering one in a year or two. Being the uneducated softtail rider that I am what is the purpose of the vents. I can see the pros of the vent covers...besides looks it may stop the splattering of birds and bugs inside the vents making any guts easier to access and clean. But it appears to restrict the air flow surface area by at least 50%. Might it also stop or restrict the passage of air to the rider thereby affecting rider comfort on hot summer days or maybe even affect areodynamics in some strange way creating wind turbulence, noise or even vibration? I assume you have done some higher speed riding to make sure nothing out of the ordinary has developed. Probably everything is fine...but like I said I do not own one but am very interested.

Yep these 70 degree days down here are killing me too. It's a bit to nippy to leave before 8AM and wear a short sleeve..
Sorry, had to do it. :-\

Rode into work tonight, poop never sleeps, on the CVO since it is more lit up than my daily rider. Hoping the drunks are passed out by the time I leave in the morning. Like TXGator said, its kinda nipply, had to wear a leather jacket and brought the chaps for in the morning when the temps drop to 60. brrr

60! It was 6 when I went to work yesterday morning!

I went on a polar bear ride this morning. 14 f#*k?ng degrees for 20+ miles. I am awake now!

Just got back from a 70 mile ride to Orange Park for lunch and then back out to St Augustine to escort some buddy's back towards Deltona. Cloudy and cool but worth it.

My wife and I went outside it was 25 looked at the roads still no salt or snow .So on with the Gerbing and a short 50 mile ride. Warm as toast. Just seems like you are getting away with something riding in Jan 1. Lots of fun Probably ;D will go tomorrow because snow is coming Sat. Billy 8)
-
51 degrees here, so I went out for a short ride just over 50 miles this evening. Looking forward to tomorrow's ride. No heated gear, but I do have a heated seat. I really need to get a set of those gloves and a vest!

cmashark,
I'd start with installing heated grips.
You may find that they will do the trick.
That's all I use on my SEUC8.
Don't need any of that other expensive stuff and don't have to worry about unplugging wires or turning things off when I dismount.
Just a thought.

Swapped out my unwrapped D&D muffler for the wrapped baffle and rode about 60 miles. Reckon I'm getting old but the "less noise" was pleasant.

Went on Dale's Chilly Chili Run in Ogdensburg, NJ. Not a fan of organized runs but it was a good cause, Karen Ann Quinlan Centre of Hope Hospice. Outside temperature was 25* when I left the house at 9am and never got above 35*. It was an hour's ride to get there and the 30 mile run never got above 40mph.
I'm grateful for my heated gear, but my Harley (Gerbing's) gloves don't seem to get as warm as they used to. Also, the boot insoles are on the same control circuit as the gloves. So, when the temp is turned up to keep my hands warm, my feet are on fire. Oh well, better than being cold.

I'm wondering how effective heated grips are in the extreme cold. I have a CVORK with no fairing and the backs of my hands are not protected from the elements. I'm thinking that heated gloves are a better choice for this situation because both the palm side and back side are heated.

Fairing or not, those of us with handlebar mounted mirrors get plenty of wind deflected right onto the knuckles. I myself wear a pair of snowmobile gloves when riding below 50*. Windproof, waterproof, warm and no cords to mess with. If it gets too bitter, I crank up the grips but most of the time if I do that, they make my hands sweat.

It has been my experience that with the heated grip I need to wear the thinner gloves to be able to feel the grip heat. We left Charlotte headed for Daytona and the temp was 19*. My hands were fine but I would imagine the heated gloves would have been better.
With heated grips I wouldn't bother with heated gloves. With no heated grips I definitely would want the heated gloves. Given the either or nothing choice I would probably go for the heated gloves because hook up would be easier.

I guess it depends. On my '11 the heated grips worked for shiite .. but on my '15 they get toasty on the 1-2 setting. Strange but true.

My 11 FLTRUSE was the same, had to turn them to the highest setting and they barely got warm. My 15 FLTRUSE works exactly as you have stated, 1-2 setting. I noticed when I got my 13 CVO Ultra and 14 CVO Limited you only needed to use 1-2 setting. I'm thinking the MoCo changed something but my dealer is telling me they did not.

I put 14" Monkey bars on my 13 SERK, when I did I had the heated grips for a 13 CVO Ultra installed as it was same grip design. They work well, but in extreem cold I still need heated gloves due to the back of my hands.
My 15 SERGU has the heated grips, 2 is as high as I can stand, same with the ones on the SERK. They are really nice in moderate weather, as you do not need heated gloves until under 40 or so.

It was in the high 50s and :sunny: here in north Georgia for the first time in quite awhile - so some friends and I rode up to Dahlonega and had a feast at The Smith House there. They serve a bunch of meats and sides family style, all you can eat. We all stuffed ourselves on fried chicken, ham, roast beef, mac and cheese, fried okra, greens, creamed corn, green beans, smashed taters, cole slaw, rolls, cornbread... and strawberry shortcake for dessert! I might not eat again for a week. :o
Of course, I wore my recently-purchased SE Raceway jacket, just to show it off! 8)

Suppose to hit 59 today, so I will be riding again.

My wife has never liked the looks of the road glide, and has rode several of mine. She has always had street glides. She rode the 15 RG Special and has one now, with over 5K on it already. She says she still does not like the looks, but it sure rides and handles better.

Damn Dave...I'm jealous. You have a wife who rides a road glide...your a lucky man. I would like to be as lucky but I don't know where to start. Should I start with the wife or the road glide? Hmmm...
:)
When we got married she did not ride. After many years of marriage and raising three girls, when the youngest moved out in April of 07 she took the motor cycle safety course. She then decided she really loves riding. She has over 200,000 miles under her belt now. She averages just over 30K miles a year.
The road glide would be cheaper for ya in the long run, Rose......
Lots cheeper. Since 07 she has cost me a 07 883 sportster, a 09 Heritage which she still has, a 11 Street Glide, a 13 Street Glide and now a 15 Road Glide special and custom paint for it.

Made some vent screens. They're off to be painted already. Also found out there isn't much room under the hood of these things. I hope everyone is happy with the stock sound system or you'll be getting rid of the CB.

I gave my '04 seeg a little updated look in the wheel department. I scored a front wheel off an '09 cvo roadglide, and added some new galfer wave rotors. I really like how it turned out.

I LOVE this thread! So much BADASSNESS here!
I finally figgered out that it's WAAAY cheaper to let my wife just ride her little Candy Lime Green 2012 Kawi Ninja 650 than it would EVER be to keep her (unhappily) on any Harley.
Only took FIVE bikes to reach the conclusion that she's much happier on a $6000 one...

Cat Eye, That picture reminds me of the time a buddy and I tore down the tranny of his '29 Chevy on his kitchen table. Needless to say it was not a pretty site, and his wife never ever forgave us. There may have been a little bit of alcohol consumed that contributed to the problem!!

That is a special pic yes I don't think my dad would ever ride with me heck took him 10 years to stop telling me how to drive. Today was a special day in the great white north 64 degrees and sunny post bike show (weekend) had the day off so insured and put 175 miles on the new blue RGU. Guy at the light said " what brand of bike is that "I smiled and said the "only one" .. great day ...oh and the RGU was a smash at the bike show even in Abyss blue... ;) ;)

2014 CVO Limited upgrade.......installed tour pak docking station, curved license plate holder, hidden fairing mount antenna, new custom seat, got a limited for touring and a SG for cruising! Does anyone know how to remove the antenna stud on the tour pak, thought it would just unscrew but that does not seem to be the case?
-

Remove antenna lead from inside tour pack.
Loosen thin nut inside tour pack on antenna wire lead stud.
Find a 1/2" fine thread nut and jam it against thin nut.
With the 2 nuts locked together, screw the antenna lead post out enough so you can then lift the antenna post out of the outside of the tourpack.
You can take the inside lead post all of the way out of the tourpack or just enough to lift the outside post up and out of the way.
CB post-the inside lead post has a allen recess cut into it. Find the right size allen and screw that small lead psot out until you can remove the outside post.
Basically the inside wire lead posts have a indention on them that retains the outside posts that the antennas screw onto.
-
Boatman, thanks for the help, makes sense now, I looked at the antenna lead post inside the tour pak and could not figure out the rest! This will complete my project to 100%. I know I will probably look at putting the saddlebag speakers in next. I should have been patient and waited until the 2015 CVO SG to come out and just added the Tour pak. Probably all comes out to the same $'s in the end. I swore when I bought the CVO Limited I would not have to do anything to it besides the pipes, and street tuner. I guess I just can't help giving HD my money! Ride safe.

Updated to the latest firmware for the infotainment system.

Mark and I fixed a glitch in his passing lamp wiring this morning. Then headed to the dealer to see if we could get my bike to accept text messages. After unpairing and re pairing the phone and pulling the main fuse it now works! Still have no speed control volume, however.
Then we had to ride on this beautiful Southern California day. The paint looks terrific in the Sun!

2015 CVO Street Glide ..... Added the CB module and J&M Hidden CB antenna ... haven't had the chance to test it ... but all plug and play ...
-
Harley dealer was having a 50 dollar special on a safety inspection and complete bike detailing, my bike needed a coat of wax and I really did not feel like doing it in the cold, so I brought it in. I asked them to listen to the compensator while they had it in the back because I thought I was hearing signs of wear, the bike has 25,000 miles on it, and my 2 year factory warranty runs out in April. Sure enough the compensator was worn. So today I got a complete detail and a new compensator for 62 dollars and change after taxes. I am really pleased because I am going to have a 113 cubic inch build done this spring and was going to get a new compensator then. It was also awesome that they were able to jump right on it and everything was done today while I waited.

I felt just the opposite. I had a 09 SERG, then a 12 SERG, still have a 13 SERK and I thought my new 15 SERGU was the worst handling of all four bikes. Had chopped tour packs on the 09 and the 12.
Now with good shocks, the Ohlin HD-159, it handles as good if not better even with the King tour Pack on.

The wrist angle on the HD stock handlebars is still too aggressive so I decided to make the change. Plus I got a $1000 credit with my dealer, so it became a no-brainer.

At almost 100 000 KM I am sure something will come up in the motor. The have found carbon build up at the top of the pistons. So far they had to replace the ABS module. The front brake lever was hitting the grip. Took about 3 or 4 pumps for it to come back. Both tires to be replaced. My 4th set and iPod harness was replaced. Somehow it got pinched by the tank the last time it was off. Will find out more on Tuesday what it will need.
And yes.....thank you lord for ESP. With all the problems that I have had.....ISH.

I have been so flippin busy at work the last few years and I finally have some spare time so I have several fun projects that I am starting tonite on my 07 CVO Ultra
1. Installing HID Bi-Xenon High and Low Beams, plus LED replacements for passing lamps.
2. Finished my Homelink transmitter retrofit and will be installing, along with the three switches and LED in the lower left of the inner fairing. (Harley Odometer reset switches soldered into the PCB) and mounted inside the fairing. Tap into Cig. lighter for power.
3. Installing the bypass harness to keep the passing lamps on with high-beams.
4. Replacing the lamps in the small gauges with Superbright LED's so I actually see the gauges at night
5. Replacing all the handlebar control switch covers with Chrome ones.
I know its an older bike and I probably should forego all of this and buy a new one, but it only has 20K miles on it but I really enjoy it! I am armed with the Service Manual, a great new jack from Pitbull, Classic Rock XM station and plenty of beer!

My 09 SERG the paint started coming off the starter when the bike was a few months old. Dealer said it would be replaced under warranty. I asked if they would put a chrome one in if I paid the difference. They agreed to that, so the chrome was put in. Had over 40K on that starter when I traded the bike, no issue and still looked great.
-
Holly Molly at the bolts! Are those replacements for un-chromed bolts?
Yes, all polished or show polished from Alloy Bolts, mostly all show polished. Some not available for these newer touring models so having to supplement a few with HD chrome.
I have an equally large pile sitting there for the sportster as well, just went with "polished" for that one.

Did some 6th gear riding, sounds trivial but I rarely get over 50 mph going to and from work. I dread the thought of getting on the superslab but I just had to let the ol girl strectch her legs.

Spent the day setting up my new trailer so I can take my bike to get it dyno'ed on Friday... No, I'm not riding it 2.5 hours in 30 degree weather. Lol. Will be using Chad at Wide Open Cycles in Fredricksburg, VA for the tuning.

Helped a good friend pick up his CVO Limited in Carbon Dust / Charcoal Slate this afternoon. This is treeman / Kerry. He agreed to buy it moments before Marty / 110MOFO came to the dealership to get it. Timing is everything. :coolblue:

While I would normally be on the bike in these temps, the good Lord decided that the NE was having all the fun and gave us some of it in East TN. Doesn't look like a lot but there is 1/2 to 1 1/2" of ice beneath that fresh 2" of snow we got this morning. It's nothing like what New England is going through but still a mess for us Southern boys (and girls). Predicting -5 for in the morning with a high of 12....somebody turned on the freezer down here....

I too would normally ride in this temperature. However, the Freezing rain has ICE all over my road. Slid four times on my wife's 4x4 Range Rover. Just on the road out of my house, Hills and curves a long the river, and spots that do not see sun, will be after Saturday where there is any hope of getting on the bike.

Lets see, snowed last night, now we are getting more Freezing rain. So have not been able to do much at all on my bike. Did put my new tag on the bike TYM2RD sure wish is was right now.
-
Going to pick up from dealership..... Pipes and canned tune in for now. 6 miles on odo.
-
Not a darn thing... It's only been out once since December 15th.
I checked the maintenance log ahead of our ride down to Daytona in about 19 days and everything is up to date.
Topping off the air pressure in the tires is about all I'll need to do unless the weather is going to be cold/wet.
Here's hoping for sunny skies and warm temps.
The only bike getting any ride time this winter has been the BMW R1100S commuter bike; the First Gear heated jacket and glove liners have been getting plenty of use.

Spending today servicing my CVO Road Glide, 96 Fat Boy, Chevy Truck & Jeep. Not much fun but they all need to be done.

Nothing today, but did take it to get dyno tuned yesterday. Sheets are posted in twin cam section.

Finally got a chance to ride with my new C&C Fastback on the bike. Only about 45 minutes (it's been another rough winter). The stock saddle isn't bad, but I always felt too far forward on the bike. This is a nice improvement. Not once did I try to move back.

Got them both installed but haven't ridden yet. I installed the 1.75" full sac cores first, started the bike and decided to switch to the 2" for first test. Will let you know once I ride some. Weather is warming up!

It's actually a style of pipe wrench. I'm sure many of us have seen them but just never realized they had that name. I always just called it a chain wrench.
-

IMHO, Fullsac 2" sound really good. However, I opted to wrap the baffles with all of the stock batting after doing a ride with just 1/2 of the stock batting. There was just too much sound travelling through the wall of the slip-on. Installation blog entry: Part I of II (https://ridingtwoup.wordpress.com/2013/08/24/what-do-you-do-between-200am-and-400am-when-you-cant-sleep/) and Part II of II (https://ridingtwoup.wordpress.com/2013/08/24/and-between-800am-900am/). Part II also has a link to a short video / audio clip of the pipes (http://youtu.be/6LC_EtOHNjc) , but you have to wear ear buds or headphones with your hands cupped over the ears to get an accurate sound reproduction on most computers that don't have really good speakers.
Ohlins, another great call. I've tried Progressive and BiTubos on my Harley's and the Ohlins are just far and away the best I've ever tried. I went through a lot of different shocks on my sport bikes and ended up with Ohlins. Turns out, they're just better on just about any bike. I've got the 3-3's, which started out on my '11 Wide Glide. Howard Messner worked with me at last year's Bike Week to get the preload and dampening adjusted for the Road King.

Yeah Marty, I agree with GregK, thats a lot of snow shoveling. But my investigative eye don't see as much snow on your neighbors property or roof. Are you sure your neighbors aren't throwing their snow in front of your house while your in bed sleeping. Next big snow maybe you want to stand guard and make sure that is not happening...just saying. :nixweiss:

Nearly 70 today in west GA, finally got to take a full tank ride. Felt good to get out and feel the wind in my face, been a wet messy winter here. We haven't had any snow in my area this winter but lots of cold rain and other weather that is not conducive to an enjoyable ride. Daffodils are blooming everywhere, time to get a few more good rides in before I have to start mowing.

Added quite a bit over the winter months. The built 120R was planted late last fall, swapped out to full chrome rims/tires/rotors/pads/and bearings. Just replaced the rear shocks with Ohlins 357's. Also moved the tour pack back, and put on arm rest
to keep my wife comfortable. So with all that, wiped her down this morning and went for a ride & lunch. Couldn't complain here Iowa today with 62 degree weather.

Well I installed a new set of Wild one 578 today. First time changing bars on a dresser. It was not very difficult at all and saved a bunch of cash.

Well I installed a new set of Wild one 578 today. First time changing bars on a dresser. It was not very difficult at all and saved a bunch of cash. While it was apart I moved the XM antenna and added the Mike from an extra headset for voice command wired into the non used 280 plug in the fairing no need to buy the $70 cable from HD saved more cash.Everything back together and works. Did i say I saved a bunch of CASH what can I buy next I need to spend some cash and have a beer
Spend the cash on more beer :drink:

Picked up 2015 limited CVO from dealer now that we have had rain to wash all the salt away had to wait until after HOG meeting then rode 104 miles it felt very good!! a lot different ride than the 2009 EGCVO!!
-
Still waiting for a good rain here to wash the salt off the roads. My new CVO is waiting at the dealership.
-
Added quite a bit over the winter months. The built 120R was planted late last fall, swapped out to full chrome rims/tires/rotors/pads/and bearings. Just replaced the rear shocks with Ohlins 357's. Also moved the tour pack back, and put on arm rest
to keep my wife comfortable. So with all that, wiped her down this morning and went for a ride & lunch. Couldn't complain here Iowa today with 62 degree weather.
Looks fantastic!!

Installed my WardWorks fans about a month ago. She's been sitting, patiently, in the garage waiting for the snow, ice and rain to piss off......today we ride! Ok, it's just to work and back, but it still makes me one very happy camper! 20% chance of rain later, but I DONT CARE!
-
DAYTONA...............things don't change much.

Hey JD how do the 2" sound? Thats what I am looking to do,the Ohlins as well , 8)
After riding a little with the 2" Fullsac cores I think they sound really good without being too loud. Nice deep rumble but so far quite enough for longer rides. Still need to test out on an all day ride but I'm thinking I won't need the 1.75" cores I have !
The Ohlins #3-3 May be the best upgrade I've done. The ride is great with them dialed in.
Just installed 10" Yaffe monkey bars and went for a short ride. Really like the feel so far. Waiting on T&T Fab fairing mount for my zumo and need to find some bar mirrors I like. (http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15/03/16/7159c3602ca405d2c2c7dba4cb734318.jpg)

Dang Simon, I'm envious, stuck here off shore working and you go for a great ride. Nice pictures, thanks for sharing.

Matching mid frame deflectors from Xtreme dimension. Really nice.

Since the lowers are now full of liquid cooled stuff the additional storage is gone. I added pouches and hope it does the trick.

Crated it and shipped it from Germany to Missisippi

Getting ready for riding season! Gave it a total cleaning, even through the frame area. Looks like it was just delivered. Not sure I can do this as often, though....

Well...50 degrees here in Iowa. Grandson spent last night with us, took him home ( 1hr away ) this morning. Forgot his suitcase that had the special blanket and bear in it. Ok, went about our business this afternoon, then came home. For you that have had children and know that your grandson is not going to make it to bed without the bear, it must be delivered. So I fired up the bike, leathered up and decided I would go for a ride and take it to him. Now to get to the bike. Most know now that it has a built 120X.
Been hearing a metal sound in the left muffler as they have Fullsac baffles / screens / packing. Pulled it out, nothing there but screen. Pulled the right, all there. So I removed that. Man, what a sound. So today was a good test day out on the road. Can easily hear radio, crack the throttle, you hear it. With the Baker plus pan, and Jagg 10 row, oil temps reached 206, pressure stays around 57, and hauls azz. I know some other members here have motors as such, you have to enjoy these machines as much as I do. Now that I am home, hot tub time and :drink:

Rode around Lake Oceechobee in Feb on a rented Ultra Limited Low. Very surprised and a bit disappointed when we found out we couldn't see the lake except for the small part where the bridge is. The sugar cane fields got boring pretty fast lol.
Here in Iowa riding around a lake is nice because you get the lake in your sight the whole time. Guess I was just a bit let down.
-

Had it done in November last year, now just turning 500 miles on it. A dealership ( Faribault Harley) that specializes
in building these done it for me. Plenty of power / torque, a solid 134 / 141. IMO, wouldnt want much more.
Enclosed is the dyno tune. There are many shops that can build a good motor, this shop was close enough,
and their reputation follows.

I have never been to FLA so what I am about to say is completely in ignorance. But where SHRK2TH was riding, the topo is so damn flat that it's a wonder you can see anything. I am sure it is great riding in Florida during the winter season but if it is all flat as shown, I think I would be getting bored fairly soon. I mean give me some hills, some down hill twisties, some mountains... Something to make my seat pucker other than being blind sided by a pelican. Or am I missing something here??? ...or am I maybe just jealous??? :nixweiss:

You don't have to leave the 'Burgh's city limits for all that. Seems like every time I ride over there, I get stopped at multiple red lights and they're all uphill. :P

Well after a few months of not posting on this board due to the period of frozen, white, wind blown merriness that we hillbillies call hell, I finally got a chance to try out a new windshield that I installed on Orange Crush a while back. I decided to $h!tcan the stock wind splitter and go with a Memphis Shades 17 inch that kind of follows the original design in that all the hardware is black and the bottom is really dark as well.
The new shield is the perfect height to make a nice calm pocket of air for me and all the rattling, shaking and such that the stocke mailbox piece did is gone. Happy day!!!!

Not exactly done 'to' the CVO, but for it, ordered a jack from J&S - bikes will be coming out of storage soon.
You will love the jack! After looking at so many others I took the advice to buy the best - and J&S is it for sure. One suggestion - always jack it up to the top notch as it is a more comfortable feeling for stability. I just hate the mental picture I get of my CVO lying on its side on the garage floor should it ever go over. But, not to worry; you don`t even need tie downs on the J&S as it is so solid. Good buy!!
-
Thanks for the tip Ken. Should see the jack by mid week.

Almost done with the bar change and moving of turn signals.

Having Lived in Jacksonville FL for several years, also now going to FL, a couple times of year here is what I think. We moved to TN from FL for the hills and curves and Mountains and lakes.
TN/NC, the Dragon 318 curves in 11 miles. FL 11 curves in 318 miles.
That said, on of our favorite Rides is US one From Key Largo to Key West. The ride is far from exciting or challenging. However the beauty of having the Gulf of Mexico on on side and the Atlantic on the other sure makes it worth it. We have done that trip 6 or 7 times now in march or April. Headed to Key West 2 April for a nice ride and some Fun.
-
200 miles today in N. FL with the wife and family. Stopped for TexMex at Chuy's in Gainesville 70 to 75 degrees all day. Plenty of scenery with grandfather oaks completely canvasing the road with slightly rolling hills. I'll take it for a mid March ride in short sleeves.

Yeah OBB, you are right. I can't argue with what you say. At least there are not many pelicans in the 'Burgh...to many deer, but very little pelicans. :)

I moved from WA state last year to Louisiana, after having riding many roads on the West coast for 8 Years I was excited to try some different landscape taking a trip from Monroe LA to Key West FL. It was a great trip for scenery, N. FL along the beaches, the Everglades, into Key Largo and out to Key West. The great thing about living in this country is the diversity of the landscape wherever you go. The only complaint I have of FL is there are too many people and too many traffic lights, hard to find a road you can escape on and cruise without having to stop for traffic and lights, unless you want to ride the interstate highways......boring. This year it will be a road trip through N Miss, TN, and KY. Looking forward to some hills and turns and a little less traffic.....I hope!

There sure are. A few would be the Cherohala Skyway. 68 from Tellico into GA, 360 out of Tellico at the base of the Skyway. Foothills parkway, Hwy 70 out of Lenoir City going west, Hwy 30 out of Dayton going west and many more!

Looks awesome! Did you end up making them yourself or take the easy way out? Either way ... I like'm and I say they should come from the factory like that but they would probably bang you an extra $500. Now for your next project, you need some LEDs to backlight them ... that would look killer in the dark.

Dyno tuned mine at the dealership. Feels good but I am no expert. Looks like 99 rwhp and 112 torque. Sounds good looks good. I know the HO are likely flattening the torque curve a bit. Not sure what I would gain by another path. Anyway have a look.(http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15/03/28/f893f96bbeacf074d0355887da1df316.jpg)

Upgraded the Kuryakyn driving lights to LED, finished installing the CD Dymanic Ringz and brought it out to see some sunshine.
If you'll notice I still have quite a bit of that white junk on the ground - about 6" or so - and overnight low temps below freezing which give the highway department an excuse to put more de-icing liquid down, it's forecast to warm up and rain this week so maybe we'll get out soon.....

Road the 13 SERK to SMHD to drop it off for the 15K service and new rear tire, and to Pick up the 15 SERGU. Then road a few places doing errands to get ready to leave on the Bikes for Cape Coral and then on to Key West.
Got the paint matched lower facia put on. I need to wire the light now.

Another.

Love the blue, Dave. The lower light addition sets off the rear (and gives you some much needed extra lights....can't have enough rear lighting). K'ville West has an Abyss blue and a Burgundy blaze on the floor. They are both beautiful colors but this year, the blue outshines the red one IMO....don't tell Chip I said that... ;D
Have a great, safe trip to the Keys...

Should be a pigtail on the light that just goes up the inner fender and plugs into the stock light. I'm surprised the dealer didn't do that for you. When I added mine I bought the light for the '09 and it was plug and play.

I took a short road trip down the bayou today to get a pound of the best beef jerky known to man, from Bourgeois Meat Market in Thibodeaux Louisiana.
-
Then I came home and installed my new windshield.
-
Put the stock mufflers back on. Went to the dealer for the annual bike inspection. It's free for as long as I own the bike and wanted to make sure I passed.

Had a chance to put on the new Screamin Eagle shift linkage after being out of town the last couple weeks.

250 miles with John and Brian to Gettysburg and back. Life's good.

Garden and Gun magazine’s article, “100 Southern Foods You Absolutely, Positively Must Try Before You Die” (http://gardenandgun.com/article/100-southern-foods) which names Bourgeois Beef Jerky first on the list.
Ooooo sounds like a road trip for so me beef jerky could be coming up. Haven't been to Thibodeaux in years now I have a excellent reason to cruse through.

I made momma a happier passenger by giving her another switch to play with -- this one gives her Volume, Bass, Treble, Balance and Fade control, she now has full control of the audio system features from the passenger seat. By adding an additional switch she gets to maintain all the intercom controls too.
Happy wife = Happy life ;)

Finally took the bike for a ride after fitting the Fuelmoto Jackpot 2-1-2 Stainless Steel Header pipes with my CFR Mufflers and Thundermax ECU. What a difference, totally different bike, revs much more freely and more responsive. Very happy with the result. All went on relatively easily and well worth the effort.

Left it in the garage and took the BMW to meet the lovely Miss Debbie for our every other Friday lunch date...

That looks GREAT!! Now I recommend the custom dynamicz Dynamic Ringz in your turn signals. It's as easy as replacing the bulb and no load equalizer needed for your 2014.

Speaking of connectors, when my new yaffe stealth plate arrived, the light wouldn't work. I ended up having to swap the 2 wires in the duetch connector. Go figure, 2 wires and still got it wrong lol.

FINALLY got the chance to get out and enjoy it for a short 100 mile trip to lunch and back. Broke 500 miles while we were at it ::) . Had the infotainment system lock up on me before we left the drive. Loaded a map and told it to start, had the ipod hooked up and playing then started the bike. The screen went to the FM mode and wouldn't change. Had no sound other than the nav voice. First stop I pulled the radio fuse for 10 seconds and put it back in. Worked fine after that. This GPS unit will take some getting used to for sure. It kept wanting me to get off the highway even though I didn't have any avoidance settings set and my preferred route was quickest. Gonna have to find a different windshield as Debi says she gets a lot of wind on the back with the top vent open. I'm thinking something with a recurve at the top like the LRS I had on my '11.
-
Did something I haven't done in waaaayyy to long. I RODE IT :bananarock:
We went out for the afternoon to enjoy the (finally) spring temps, it was almost 70* today. It felt great getting on the bike after the winter we've had. I have no idea how many miles we actually went, but we did have to stop for gas :2vrolijk_21: My wife likes the third audio control I installed, although she's still figuring out how to work the system because she's not used to being able to control the full range of the HK functions. She wanted to change the station and ended up cranking the volume ::)- it was entertaining having her experiment with the controls. That being said I can't see why they don't come set up like this from the factory?? One thing that I like is I no longer have to guess if the volume is at a level she can enjoy, she already was changing stations whenever the mood struck her so I've almost gotten used to ignoring the stereo while we're riding two -up.

I stopped and looked at my bike on the way out today and said "Soon baby, real soon". Monsoon season has set in here in GA which has kept my riding down to a minimum. I don't know how you guys up north stand to have one parked for so many months every year, a few weeks for me and I get antsy.

I'm sure I speak for the majority when I say IT SUCKS!
Like anything in life, you take the good with the bad. Trucks will sit parked now unless it's raining out. Have 3 trips planned this year on the bike. TX,WV, and Maggie Valley.

Nope. Might make it some year. Wife only has 2 weeks vacation and I'd want to take that long to spend as much time as we could out there. Not really into the big rallies as I'm not crazy about huge crowds and vendors. The GTGs from the two bike forums I frequent most and the truck clubs I'm on are in very comfortable for me. I might do it once just to be able to say "been there, done that".

I'm not the typical Sturgis partier. Don't drink booze, never stay out past dusk. We really enjoy the rally crowds and all. We love to people watch and the riding is some of the best in the country and you know I get around on my bike. Good times. I am only a days drive though (650 miles). That makes it easier to go. Probably our last time since we plan to move SE.

Got her all back together after a thorough strip down clean which was necessary due to a very wet and muddy ride out the other day.

Just got around to cleaning-off the crud that didn't wash-off from the Daytona trip before we head down to Panama City Beach. A Zaino touch-up, if you will: PC cleaner, CS clear-seal with the Z5 polish curing as we speak that gets followed-up with a final coat of CS. Should be good for the rest of spring & summer.

Well if that's the case, you got a great new scoot and comfortable accommodations for which she can sit... :2vrolijk_21:
My wife rode dirt bikes for years and had her own street bike for a bit. After riding behind me, she saw all that which she missed as a driver and loves the back seat viewing. She's still a great rider but I'm glad she's sitting right behind me now...although it was fun when she was riding her own, too.... :)
-
My Wifes not on here so I can say this without grief. I actually enjoy riding without the extra person on board. She's very small but it does change the weight and handling of the bike. Enjoy her going but not 100% of the time which is usually the case anyway. Guess we ride for different reasons. I ride for the scenery and enjoyment of the bike and she rides for the social experience.

Got the bikes out of storage last weekend - yes! Still kind of on the chilly side so haven't done any detailing yet. Received an engine kit from AlloyBoltz, Polished Grade 8 stainless steel and plan to do the changeover soon.

I think most of us feel the same way....that's why we schedule "guys only" rides. :P

My wife has no interest in riding with me. Fell off the back of her Uncle's scooter when she was a kid and doesn't like to ride. He was going slow down her street so didn't get hurt but gave her a healthy fear of them. Throw in 10 years she spent as a trauma tech in a major metro hospital ER where she witnessed the aftermath of 100's of motorcycle accidents, pretty much sealed the deal for her.
Got her on the back of my King in 03 before we had kids. Was a huge accomplishment the couple times she went with me but hasn't been on one since I went head over tea kettle in 05 and totaled the aforementioned RK. Bought the Ultra thinking she would feel safe on the back of it but so far nada!
-
I can't get my wife off my bike. She loves it back there! :o
-
My wife while we had Children at home rode on back with me about 70% of the time I went for pleasure rides not to work. I enjoyed her riding with me, and preferred it when she went.
March of 07, right after the youngest moved out, she took the MSRF safety class, and promptly told me she wanted to ride, and her own bike. April 15 2007 she took delivery of a 07 883 Low. Said she would still sometime want to ride on back with me, or not go at all.
So, since then five or maybe six times she has been on back of my bike. :coolblue:
I love that she rides with me most all the time, on her own bike. I now really do not like riding a passenger any more.
She rides lot's and will out ride a good portion of the men. Runs the curves hard enough on her road glide that she has scrapped the floor boards more than once. She will also ride back to back 700 mile plus days with me.
Being off shore working all I could do was look at pictures of my CVO's and think about rides to take when I hit land again.

Same here, if I try and "escape" for an afternoon ride she'll almost always catch me before I get to the end of the driveway and then I get "the look". If your married you know what look I'm alluding to ;) --- unless I take the Ducati, she rode on the pillion of that one ONCE for about 1/4 mile before telling me to turn it around and take her home, she hates that thing :huepfenlol2:

Been married for almost 26 years and she has never been into riding with me which is awesome! Her dad was a motor cop for 20 years so she has no problem with bikes or with me riding one but its just not her thing. We will meet somewhere for lunch or dinner while she does her thing and I ride. In my opinion it makes for a very happy marriage. I did used to feel guilty leaving in the morning and riding all day and just meeting up somewhere but around a year ago she went to work in retail at Nordstroms since our kids are all now in college so she now works every weekend so we will have breakfast together and she leaves for work and I go and do my thing completely guilt free. Its never been better!

Interesting story. I'm glad it all works out for both of you. I know some couples where she doesn't care for riding and it's not working out so well.
I was asked once (well, maybe more than once) "how do you get away with it......how are you able to ride every weekend and go as far or as long as you want without the issues that some of us have?". I told him "I've rode all my life....it's who I am and when I meet a woman I don't change or hide that part of who I am. I let them know right up front.....this is what I do....this is who I am......most of the time you're welcome to ride along if you'd like but sometimes it's just the guys.....other times, it's just me". So the motorcycling has never been an issue.
It kind of weeds itself out very early in a new relationship....if they don't truely enjoy it then it'll come to the surface in short order.
So what I did today (and all this week) is ride to and from work. And, as you know Alan, it was 90F today. Gettin to hot to ride for more than the 25 minutes it takes me to get home.

Ordered another part for it ;)

Replaced the stock shield with a Freedom Shields 15" dark grey tint. Took it for a test ride before taking the protective wrap off of the shield and found it to be smoother than with the stock shield. Plus I like the tinted look.

I hate riding with a passenger, but there was a time when I thought it would be nice to have the boss with me sometimes. She
was on my '08 Kawi Vulcan 1600 a few times. That bike was nothing but problems, so I traded it on a Heritage when the 2010's came out. I figured that big comfy seat with the backrest and some passenger floorboards that I put on would work for her. She was never able to get comfy. Factor in that she has M.S. which affects her balance, and the fact that she's afraid back there, and I am actually glad she won't go anymore. A side benefit is I was able to switch to a cool looking C&C Fastback. That saddle is great for me, but the little bit of leather covered padding that extends onto the fender is pretty much cosmetic.

After doing some recent engine work to her, I took Cracklin' Rose to Steve at GMR to get the guru-tune and she did 120/118.
Flattest prettiest torque curve a fella could ask for.

Most of the mods were last year, Latest cams and heads I did last weekend.
Various other cams could be swapped into this motor at this point and make bigger numbers (maybe much bigger) but they likely would lose the nice torque curve.

Just returned from my first ride of the year, down to the Texas Hill Country to meet with about forty friends and ride the Three Sisters. It was a blast and the weather was perfect.

finally got it tuned with the new Dragos2 pipe and went with a TTS tuner, the tune was with a cocktail of 87 & 91 octain fuel, not a bad deal since i cant always find the 91 and thats how the 87 wound up in the tank. best i can tell is it has a lot more grunt/ throttle response on the bottom end and fuel mileage is 37 to 41mpg range, WFO its still stupid fast. thoughts :nixweiss:
-
Today was going to be deep clean day for my new acquisition. So as I stood looking at the bike I though they let's start under the seat its always dirty. I was right filthy cleaned right up. Thinking what to clean next ( thinking is what got me in trouble) I opt to remove the battery and clean under it too.
Now I have had this bike for all of 2 days, one spent riding it home plus being a guy why bother to see if the owners manual has any advice on this procedure.
Why because when you unhook the battery the freak in siren and lights will wake the dead. OK now its time to get the book out and find the proper procedure for battery removal. Sure try to concentrate in the garage with all the racket. After about 10 minutes I figured it out. Cleaned under it and put it back in.
Should have had it on video, many have won Americas Funniest. I had to look like a rooster doing its dance around a hen when the freak in alarm went off. So much for deep clean.
May need to post this in humor because now it seems funny but sure wasn't when it happened. :huepfenlol2:

Simply rode to work. I live about 30 minutes from the base. Along the way, picked up another AF guy, 2 Marines, and a Navy rider, all in uniform on our Harleys. All I could think was - 'MERICA!

Got my 1st service wrapped up at dealer and while there had to add a little bling so picked up the chrome trim for the rear tour pack lights and antenna area. Dealership owner was all smiles today. They had a customer swap sale today and must have had 200 people there. Heard the sales bell at least 3 times while I was there. Also finally got around to remounting my gremlin bell that was taken off the Limited I traded in. My 14" Freedom Windshield is in transit at the local UPS center but they are closed today. Guess I'll be seeing it Monday.

While following my friends to Laughlin for the annual river run, I noticed that both had anniversary badges on the back of their passenger seat mounts; one a 100th and one a 105th, yet me following in my 110th had notta. After research and seeing HD didn't make one, I decided to make my own. Thanks to ebay, I found 2 emblems and did this: What do you think?

After almost 2 months and a boatload of dough my bike will be back "in the wind" this weekend. Blew up my 120r and after beating myself up with all the why, what's, I am picking up my bike with a 124 (yea, should have put in the S&S in the first place) ready to go tomorrow. They put in a fat break in tune today and I will start Sat with my break in which I hate doing but then up to Bob in Hayward for the tune. The dealer has been letting my rent either Limiteds or Roadglides for almost nothing a few weekends but those 103's just didn't do it for me though it certainly was interesting playing with the new models. Not sure how long it will take to actually pay for this da-- motor but can't wait to get back on the road on my own bike!
Here is a pic yesterday.

Looking awesome! Who's lights are you using? Just trying to get some insight. I have custom dynamics magical wizards with the ccm 5 remote. I have roughly 300 lights. They look awesome sitting still, but every time I try to ride with them, I pop a fuse. I'm thinking maybe I have too many for the command center remote, or a pinched wire somewhere that would be a pita to chase down. Or maybe the new ccm 5 can't handle the charging system of the 14 cvo. Who knows... But yours look great!! ;D

Blew up my 120r and after beating myself up with all the why, what's, I am picking up my bike with a 124 (yea, should have put in the S&S in the first place) ready to go tomorrow. They put in a fat break in tune today and I will start Sat with my break in which I hate doing but then up to Bob in Hayward for the tune. The dealer has been letting my rent either Limiteds or Roadglides for almost nothing a few weekends but those 103's just didn't do it for me though it certainly was interesting playing with the new models. Not sure how long it will take to actually pay for this da-- motor but can't wait to get back on the road on my own bike!
Here is a pic yesterday.
Took my first ride today and couldn't be happier! I took it very easy but loved what I did feel. I will be having fun for the next 3 days (hopefully if nothing goes wrong..)

Sooo, hows it going with the new power plant? i assume no news is good news :nixweiss: and it runs so good you dont want to stop riding
-
Installed the Motorcycle Armor on my bag lids and the sides of the tank right in front of the seat. Hopefully that will help keep it in better shape.

did 700 plus miles and loved every minute. I did go to the desert on the 3rd day (Temp in low 90's) and got i little pinging so its time for the real tune. Sending it up to Bob in Hayward on the 9th and then its really "party time"! I will post up after that.

Took it in for the latest recall on the clutch master cylinder. M-1402 Recall 0165

Not the kind of what did you do to your bike you want
I think I bent my Wild1 chubby's 16" apes.
Stupid mistake. I was backing out of a parking spot the other night and my foot slipped. I had no choice but to lay it down gently. I muscled the bike back up and was fully ready to see scratches and marks on the bag. It was dark so I could not do a good check until the next day. To my surprise no real marks:)
So I washed up the bike and we went for a ride. Only to notice that the left side of the bar seemed further away from the windshield that the right. Stopped to make sure the windshield was on good and it was.
Has anyone else ever bent apes trying to pick the bike up or could there be something simpler going on.

Who makes this? Looking for the same place you installed it, the sides of the tank. This thread has already cost me some $, why not more! lol

Today .. Jackpot 4" Slash-Ups, 2-1-2 header, full size crossover, all ceramic ;)
-
Installed Fullsac Stainless coated DX pipe 2.25 muffler cores and installed TTS master tune with Fullsac down load. I may not be able to get the darn radio to take a down load but I was able to down load the TTS master tune and Fullsac down load with no problems at all.

Spent the last two days cleaning the beast. Just got back from a 12 day Southwest trip with the wife and my buddy and his wife. The first 8 days we found out that the heated gear and the rain gear definately work. Crossed something off my bucket list that I didn't even know was there...climbing out of Austin, Nevada in the snow pulling a trailer. NOT fun!! I am now down to a toothbrush cleaning all the nooks and crany's. Sorry no pictures...too busy hanging on.

Replaced the "C" lifters after 27k miles. The front intake cylinder lifter roller was starting to seize up. It started while on a ride. Just happened to be cruising 25-35 mph in a small town with stereo off when the ticking started. Had a buddy get my truck and drive the 70 miles and pick us up. Lifter did not grenade, roller wheel showed no wear patterns, neither did the cam lobes. Could roll the lifter with thumb and it would lock up, then release, then repeat. Replaced them all with Comp Cams 850-1 hydraulic lifters. :cucumber:
Good thing it happened now. Have a week long trip planned for the week after next.
-
BackroadMike You are the first person that I have read about using Comp. Cams lifters. Do you know if Comp. Cams make their own lifters or buy from someone else? Comp. Cams has very good solid roller lifters for small block Chevrolets!!

I'm not sure, but have received many recommendations on the use of them from some reputable builders. These are the exact same lifters as used in the chevy small block 305/350/LS1 engines. :2vrolijk_21:

Did you look at the gauge to see if it was charging after you jump started it? It appears you have a bagger and it should have a gauge. If it was then battery. If not then regulator or stator.

Finally got around to installing a docking kit to get the tour pac off my SEUC. I'll post some images about the process later.

Not this morning yet, but yesterday. Just rode them both, then cleaned them up a little. Road King went about 250 making a breakfast run. Road Glide went about 300 on a dinner run. They were hungry.

I lifted the cover on the Bike and gave it a little polish. Its off theroad right now waiting for a new Voltage regulator. The present one (replaced in the recall in November 2012) is pumping out 16 volts of charge then switches off causing battery drain. Hopefully new reg will arrive before the weekend. So I took out my Buell XB12SCG for a blatt around the Sussex roads instead.
-
Took my first quick ride on my new 124 after the tune. I am very excited about the performance! I really didn't think it was going to be much different than the 120r I blew up a couple of months ago but In was very fired up about how it felt. Soon as i took off and twisted the throttle a bit, I left a black patch about 20 feet long! Tune came out great with 140HP in 96 degree weather. Another amazing job by Bob in Hayward!
-
Congrats!
That sounds like s blast to ride!!
Are you still running a belt drive?
Did you have to replace or mod the trans for the new motor?

Yes, running a belt drive and stock tranny. Ran both with my 120r with no issues. When I blew up the motor, the tech took the trans apart expecting to have to replace some "stuff" since I told him that since we had everything torn apart while we were waiting for the new motor, I wanted to make everything as bullet proof as possible so I didn't have any issues going forward. He told me he was amazed by how good of shape the trans was. He actually went out and bought a Hayden for his own bike since I was running one thinking maybe that was why it looked so good.
Just happy to be back in the wind! Was not fun being "benched" for a couple of months! I did do around 700 miles over the Memorial day weekend but they were break in miles and this time I decided to follow S&S's recommendation which absolutely drove me nuts. Cant wait to "go play" this weekend now that its all ready to go. Today was a big tease!

Put it up on the jack for a once over to check tires and everything I could think of. Heading to TX Hill Country tomorrow morning :2vrolijk_21:

Mean Mug bezel for the '15+ models. Yup, I had it color matched :2vrolijk_21:

Was lucky enough to get to ride it for a work trip the last few days. 400 miles of awesome weather and roads, 170 miles of rain and wind for the ride home today, not to mention a fithy bike.

Changed the stock headlight and turn signals to LED's, also added LRS 12" dark windshield (might be going to LRS 13" soon). Have other mods in progress at the moment. So many add on's so little time.

Replaced Cruise Control switch not a very exciting thing but sure missed it. Going to change tran fluid today too. :apple:

I did not like the Legend air pump under the engine so I made brackets and moved it under the tour pack on a 2015 Limited CVO.

Another left side view

I also Installed the air gauge in the left lower fairing top. I installed a offset spacer to view it easier.

Finally got around to installing a helmet lock. I had one from the wife's Softail Deluxe that we traded in... it was chrome, but nothing a good black spray can can't fix... left a few bits chromed to give it a contrast finish, hehehehe

got a speeding ticket :nixweiss: got a break tho.... officer knocked 25 mph off off the lower speed he clocked me at, cause i HAD a good driving record :oops:

That was a break; around here, 25 over = reckless driving and an impound. :o

Rode it through The Three Sisters in Hill country, TX. Great scenery and riding. The sporadic downpours made it interesting at times.

Mines at dealer, having a complete service, new shoes front and rear in preparation for my Ride to CA, up the coast to OR and on up the coast to WA and then back to east TN. 16 day trip. Planning on doing the Iron Butt 1000 in 24, and the Saddle Sore 1500 in 36 on the way home.
Pick the bike up the 24th and depart the morning of the 25th. :coolblue:

Been trying to talk any of my riding buddies into doing a ride like what you are planning. So far no takers... All I get is 'the job is a hassle and the kids have the flu..." If I was in your neighborhood I would have asked you if I could tag along.
Ride safe and take some pictures to share with the rest of us.

Not on this one.
I will be meeting him in Red Lodge MT, after Sturgis. He will be headed home from his trip, and I want to Ride Beartooth again after Sturgis. So then we will do that and the ride home together.
We will be doing Bikes Blues and BBQ together this fall also.

Thanks to a head’s up & recommendation from doublerunner, I dropped my bike off yesterday to Infocus Mobile Audio in New Hampshire. Going to implement a significant audio upgrade – speakers, amp and head unit, and most importantly, get the amp fairing mounted. Spent a good deal of time speaking/planning with Justin O'Neil, the Owner of this business, and learned he also does electrical work when he has time. I’m going to have him construct a quick disconnect wiring harness, the final step to complete the tour-pak detach system. Will also have him install LED strips at the rear fillers to provide more visibility around the brake light when the tour-pak is dismounted. I planned to do this myself over the winter, but decided not to wait. Will post some images when I get the bike back next week.

Rode up to local dealer to see if they were cooking hamburgers... no luck but had food truck there... $11.00 burrritos ... NO takers

Installed the George Anderson Tour Pack relocater I bought from CVO George. Piece of cake on the 09 compared to the 06.
-
Still traveling home from the Road Glide GTG in Kerrville. 1300 miles in two days gives us a lazy 300 mile day tomorrow. I did have 3 friends jump on the '15 FLTRUSE bandwagon within the last 3 days. One of them may show up at New River Gorge next month.

I put over a 100 miles on mine in some of the prettiest weather yet this summer. The tunes were good and the skies blue!
-
Light rain here today so now the bike is dirty. Start to hate the blue color. I think I will look into a custom paint job this winter. I suck at painting so I will have to find a good painter.
-
Rode 200 miles today, great day cool temps, started raining late in the day so it did not ruin the best riding day of the year for me. Also stopped at a local dealer and bought the Custom Dynamics LED turn signals. Had the basic yellow LED lights and changed them to the Dynamic Rings. Love having two more white driving lights that change yellow when I signal for a turn.

Started looking for a rear tire replacement, will need one in the next few weeks.
Only 5,000 miles on that tire, maybe I should ease up on the throttle.

I have 7000 miles on my original tires and still don't need to swap them out. I think I'm doing something wrong! Need to adjust my attitude.
-
Installed a Fullsac DX pipe, 2.0 cores, screens and tried installing the new tune up. Finally figured out the tune was for an air cooled engine and wouldn't load. Gonna have to get new tune on Monday. Can't wait to try it out

Never got 5000 miles out of a rear tire, or 40 MPG on any bike I have ever had. IMHO nothing wrong with that.

I have been waiting for a 17mm ball mount to come in to mount my GPS in a place lot of you may not like but I think I will.
After it cures I need to pull the fairing to wire in the charging system, piece of cake. but I will need notch the dash for the wires to get to the cradle. Hate to but with 12 inch Monkey bars I really didn't want my GPS out in the wind. cant hurt the windshield it is 6 years old and has a small fracture near center mount.
Here's the ball mount.

Here it is with cradle attached.

Waiting on guy to get my trailer painted so I needed a small project to keep from going crazy. Tired of the HD remote opener for the garage disconnecting and I really don't want to give up the options on my wall mounted remote.
Had a brand new odometer switch in my tool box so I got out the remote, wired the switch to a couple of male plugs and the remote to the females and here you go cheap and easy. Not wanting to pop a hole in my fairing I opted to mount it in my RH lower fairing door. Easy to get to if battery goes dead and easy to reach.
-
Remote. added a dab of silicone after soldering the connections.
-
location. left plenty of wire just in case I decide to move it. wrapped in clear tape and put Velcro on back to keep from bouncing around.

I had a great day with my bike! I finished the install of my new Bushtec trailer hitch and harness and it all checked out perfectly in spite of the lack of help from Bushtec!

We headed over to Mountain Home via Bull Shoals. The roads are awesome that way, twisty with nice elevation changes and mostly in good shape for rural Arkansas. The picture below was taken at the Visitors Center which overlooks the Bull Shoals dam, which is the 5th largest concrete dam in the U.S.
It was well over 100 degrees here today with the heat index, so we waited until late afternoon to head out. It was a beautiful ride, and put a smile on both our faces. So good to be out again enjoying each others company on the bike we have both fallen in love with already. :-*

A couple days ago, got home from a 6881 mile 15 day trip to the west coast, Rode the 101 from Arcata CA up to and around the Olympic Pensilua, and MT Rainer. When I got home took the bike in for its 20K service. Flew out to rig to work for 21 days, as soon as I'm off going to Ride it out to Sturgis.

Just got my 2009 FLTRSE3 upgraded to GMR's 113 kit by Steve! WOW! What a change for this bike, the DYNO Chart shows the results and I have to say that this bike rides so much better than before and is so much quieter, but does bark when you pull the throttle. The GMR 113 Kit is "FUN" all in one package!

Installed Fullsac Stage1, 2" cores, DX pipe and steve's custom tts dyno map for my 15 CVO Limited. what can I say, major improvement, less exhaust temp, good sound, better fuel economy. just all around better 110!

The bad news was we experienced a rainy and overcast morning so I didn't ride - it's supposed to clear later. The good news was the mailman delivering the title to my CVO today - paid off with Eaglemark in 27-months...

Not today but yesterday and today. Yesterday the old Road Glide swallowed two tanks of gas on a gorgeous day to be out riding. Ended up surprising a 93 year old aunt for lunch. Today the not quite as old Road King got through almost two tanks of its own during a day that was enough warmer than yesterday that I sweat through my shorts.
But it was still a good day for a ride.

Rode to the dealership about ten miles away, for them to program my new key fob and to grab something to eat (San Diego HD has a barber shop, tattoo parlor, coffee house, mini store, a patch sewing shop and several very nice, very comfortable waiting areas......it is huge!). I left the dealership about a half hour later and before I got back to the freeway I was in a downpour! :o
1 1/4" of rain in about four hours here in Coronado. Unheard of here in the San Diego area and yes, it set a record all over the So Cal area. It was very weird.....even though it was pouring, it was about 80F so being in a t-shirt was fine.

Rode to the top of Pikes Peak. 73deg at the base, 34 at the Summit. Dealer T & light rain jacket.....froze my bejebbies off
As long as you picked 'em up on the way back down....
That's on my bucket list....not freezing the bejebbies off (already dun dat a few times) but riding Pikes Peak..... :2vrolijk_21:

did pikes peak last year, we got out before the rain came, was advised to ride it the am cause the afternoon you never know what will happen up there. We couldn't see the west side of the mountain but to the east you could see forever.

Got the saddle bag recall done, it took about 3 minutes.

Wife and I rode our bikes to Gold River for lunch...about 475 km round trip....and bought some art at www.Clayworks.com ....and it will be delivered on Wednesday.

Got it all cleaned up after the West Virginia GTG. Noticed the rear brakes where not what they need to be in the mountains pulling a trailer. Left my RH saddlebag off so I can replace the pads tomorrow after a trip to the dealer.
Removed all lights and other items from my tomato red Bushtec and took back to painter. I will get paint mixed tomorrow since his color matching skills are weak at best. If it turns out bad this time I'll paint it flat black lol.

Rode 754 miles

Decided to change the bolts to knobs that I use to hold my saddlebags on with. Sure make it nice. On for the security of falling off not to guard against theifs.
-
Chains,
By chance are those 5 1/6-18 thread? If so where did you purchase them? I couldn't find a set locally I tried Lowes and Home Depot. I did find them on Amazon but the shipping for four was almost the same price for the four so I used bolts instead.
-
Found some 5/16 locally at Lowes with the u-nuts but the knob thread is 1.75" long. It fits but may take a little length off of it eventually. Have not checked Ace Hardware, they usually have a better selection of chrome and SS than the big box stores.

Yes 5/16-18. Bought them at my local Lowes. Had to hacksaw 1/2 inch off as they come 1 3/4 long.
-
You wouldn't happen to have the Lowe's receipt handy with the item number, would you?
-
Took a ride through Chicago traffic and 87F. At least I was not cold.
-
MrSurly, Have both the u-nut and knob at home still in packaging so can get it to you this evening.
-
That would be great! Easy to check the local inventory and to make certain I get the right pieces.

U-nut part # 74282, $1.07 ea

Looks like they also carry a slightly shorter U-nut. If your military, retired military or military civilian our Lowes gives a 10% discount at register with military ID.

Back to what we did today:
Ordered Fullsac 1.75" Power Cores with screens. UPS notice said get them middle next week. Called and got the 10% CVO discount, thanks Steve.

Attached new tour pack that Joe Z painted for us. Shop gave me a sweet deal on labor to add the wiring harness so I left the work to them.

Rode to Port Albernie for the first annual Tsunami rally.....about a hundred bikes and a few booths...it'll grow!
'Cause I've been doing so much yard work...and can only wash cars/bikes on Thursdays and Sundays...mine has been a little neglected and has more than a few bugs on it......so...I won the dirtiest bike prize...

Me and the wife just got back from a 370 mile overnighter to Little Rock and had the 1k service call performed.
HOT, HOT, HOT today. They said the heat index was almost 118 degrees in the city. Crazy.
I was sure glad for the liquid cooling.
-
Put close to 400 miles on it by riding over to the Flight 93 Memorial and back. Odometer hit 7k last week at the NRG GTG and 8k on the way home today.
-
Got it ready for Sturgis. Changed oil to AMSOIL 60 wt, put Ride-On goo in tires and aired them to max cold pressure, and installed new Lyndall Gold+ front brake pads. Removed drawbar for Bushtec hitch since we have a chase vehicle for luggage.
-
Ok, added a L2R derby cover, fairing pouch (last week), my HD Police 1 timer cover, tour pak rack brake light. think that's it for now. at least until i get back to the dealer. I installed the wiring for the LED windshield trim, but when i finally pulled the trim out of the bubble wrap to install it, it was black instead of chrome... fail. still have the HD scripted billet aluminum shift linkage to put on too...

Talked with "THE tuner" at HD of ATL about doing some dyno work on Blue and possibly a cam change on top of the Fullsac X-pipe/2.0 baffles/TTS mapping as a way of knocking down the engine heat a few ticks. Not to worried about additional HP/Torque beyond whatever's inherent in the well-tuned 110" SE motor... just bringing down the heat.
We decided that a phased approach is probably best: let him put it on the Dyno and see what he can do to sort it out. Then, consider a larger volume head pipe and then perhaps cams.
-
Removed the factory clips on the bags and installed bolts with lock washers for added piece of mind.

Pretty sure lean it out, is exactly the opposite of what you want. They come from the Factory too lean. Add the X-pipe and baffles it will be even leaner. The tuner should use the TTS to richen up the mixture. A richer mixture will run cooler than a leaner mixture.

I took mine out for a ride today after a repairing a bent valve that happened a week ago. While I had it torn down I went ahead and had the cylinders bored .060 over, making it a 113" now.
I felt great to get out and get a few miles on. I could do without the 100* temps, tho.

Picked up my bike from Savannah Harley for the 10,000 mile service. I asked them to sign my owners manual and they put 8,000 miles instead of the 10,121 that was on the odometer. Why would anyone get a 10k service with 8,000 miles?
-
I am a suspicious person, sometimes unfounded, but if this indicates that you already have 2,121 miles on your last service, I would make them change it and resign for it.

Not exactly to my CVO, but for it. Set up an Audible account to stream audiobooks through my phone while riding. With the revisions to the audio system this works really well and provides an alternative to music only.

I don't know the 'why' except just an honest mistake, but I would absolutely go back and make them correct the record.

Just got done changing transmission fluid. Good news it what came out looked great. Went with Red Line 80W with shockproof.
Getting ready to go out and ride now. 92 degrees wish it would cool down.

Got in 50 miles, much smoother shifting, Harley clunk all but gone. Very pleased with short term results, will see long term. Used Red Line 75 w 90 in previous bikes and was very happy.
No clue as to what was in it but knowing the history it was Done at a dealer and was a Harley product.

I did right there on the spot, and it was also on my invoice, which I also had them change! :2vrolijk_21:

Had the 5,000 mile service completed and a new rear tire put on the bike.

On the SE LIMITED I installed a new D&D Fat Kat exhaust, T-Man air cleaner, SEPRT then smart tuned the bike.

Ride another hundred miles after work, doing break-in cycles and also PV auto tuning since I just over bored the jugs to 113.
It does feel stronger. Once I get the tune a little more dialed in it should really scream. 350mi so far

Got it all cleaned up and ready to put the Motorcycle Armor on the saddlebags tonight. Leaving in the morning for North Carolina to pick up another Bushtec. Since I was down to one I was having cold sweats. :huepfenlol2:

Today was going to be deep clean day for my new acquisition. So as I stood looking at the bike I though they let's start under the seat its always dirty. I was right filthy cleaned right up. Thinking what to clean next ( thinking is what got me in trouble) I opt to remove the battery and clean under it too.
Now I have had this bike for all of 2 days, one spent riding it home plus being a guy why bother to see if the owners manual has any advice on this procedure.
Why because when you unhook the battery the freak in siren and lights will wake the dead. OK now its time to get the book out and find the proper procedure for battery removal. Sure try to concentrate in the garage with all the racket. After about 10 minutes I figured it out. Cleaned under it and put it back in.
Should have had it on video, many have won Americas Funniest. I had to look like a rooster doing its dance around a hen when the freak in alarm went off. So much for deep clean.
May need to post this in humor because now it seems funny but sure wasn't when it happened. :huepfenlol2:
I like this, do you have video? :huepfenlol2:
-
Quote: I like this, do you have the video :huepfenlol2:
Wish I did I would watch it every time I thought that I didn't need to read the instructions. Never had that issue with my 06. When its battery died in Pennsylvania on the way to Chappys funeral. Never even gave a single thought to the alarm on the 09. Will look before I leap from now on.

Went to Lowes and bought two 5/16 u nuts and two 5/16 threaded knobs. Took the recalled junk off of the front saddlebag mounts and replaced with the u nuts/knobs.

Best thing you could do Mike. I never worry about my bags falling off. I know this is the first recall from Harley but as I think back my 1995 Road King quarter turn pins used to flare out and not catch after a few times of taking the bags off. Back then I used to squeeze them back with vice grips and go on. Tells me they have had issues forever. Bad design to have been in production so long.

Broke it again.

Best thing about it Jim, took something like 9 bucks and 5 minutes to fix their problem. I don't know about everybody but I'll gladly put up with the minor hassle of removing the knob/bolt when I wash or work on the sickle compared to the possibility of a bag falling off going down the road. Every since I heard about the recall from OBB in Fayetteville I had visions of the bag falling off and landing in the path of whoever was behind me, most likely Susan, and causing additional mayhem and possibly a wreck.
Don't have to worry no more.

Put the Brukus bolt kit on my bags the day I brought it home. Bags only come of once a year in my case. (Fall when I wash and wax before the snow)

Took a little 220 mile jaunt through the hills of Soutern WV to visit the dealer I bought Orange Crush from to have the clutch recall done. While I was there I had the dealership replace the two remaining factory latch clips.
Mike Adkins has retired and sold the dealership to Eddie Kieffer who also owns several metric dealerships in the Logan area. The name is changing from Mike's to Moutain State Harley Davidson. Eddie took the time to introduce himself and we talked for quite a while. I noticed that they had two 2015 CVO Limiteds, one of which had a sign saying $5000 off and they are a MSRP dealer!! Needless to say Eddie is being very aggressive with pricing!!! They sold the silver/maroon one while I was there and have a gold/black left.
I mentioned the site to Eddie as well as the GTG's that we have. He asked me to bring you all by if we decide to do a WV GTG next year, which works well because I was thinking of moving the festivities farther South.
I also rode, for the first time, a new section of the King Coal Expressway that has been opened between Gilbert and Red Jacket. They used a surface mine to construct this 11 mile section along the top of a ridge. I nicknamed it the KingaCoala Skyway.

Nada, Dealership broke it while working on it and had to order parts to replace their mistake. Bummer, no riding this weekend or next week. :(

That sucks.

Put the Fullsac screens and 1.75 baffles in my RGU mufflers. That was a bit more effort than expected doing it with a dremel and the muffler packing was stuck to the inside of the muffler can. Not too loud but a bit deeper. Will be easier to try different baffles now.

I noticed the H-D hardware that came with my tour-pac detach kit was already rusted just a few weeks after installation. Pulled/replaced the fasteners with stainless steel cap head bolts. It was a nice idea but it doesn’t look too good when the torx heads show rust inside the chrome…

I have used testers silver paint on a Q tip to fill in the areas on chrome screws to stop the rust before. Worked for me.

Thanks Chains, that's an excellent tip. I still have the hardware and can re-install.

Got to put 600 miles (Sat and Sun) on the new 124 and had a absolute blast! Couldn't be happier. Got to "play" with a sport bike yesterday up in the mountains and though he did "school me", when we both pulled into Julian which is a small town with only 1 gas station so we both stopped for gas he asked me what kind of motor I was running because he kept seeing me in his rear view mirror and couldn't believe it. I explained to him I was trying to put him in my rear view mirror and he was pissing me off that I couldn't do it but I still got a kick out of his question..

Sounds like you're enjoying that new motor and past the break in stage, Alan. :2vrolijk_21:

I put a couple of hundred miles on this weekend, also breaking in a new set of rings. I had to do a repair of a bent valve and "while in there" opted to up it to a 113" with an overbore. Tuning with the PV autotune, responding very well, indeed.

Replaced my old style electric Mini-beast horn, had a broken mounting bracket, with the new style Mini-beast 1 air horn from Custom Dynamics. Supposedly this was a five minute project running the wire back to the battery – took me nearly two hours. The most difficult task was getting everything out of the way to pull the battery cover. The air horn is significantly louder than the electric version… Electric horn on left, air horn with compressor on right in the attached image.

Picked it up from the dealer and proceeded to put 170 miles on it after taking a 1/2 day off. Been working so much lately I had them install the DX pipe and dyno tune it. Sounds a little deeper without the cat in it. Runs cooler it seems although this evening when I actually put my hand down by the engine it was already down to 71* outside so I didn't feel much heat at all.

I put those stick-on bumpers on the bottoms of my saddlebags so I don't need to find a towel to set them on any more. Much easier when you're traveling now to take them off and just set them down!
Many thanks to Greg Khougaz for the idea!!!! :thumbsup:

Dropped Blue off for a day on the Dyno at Harley-Davidson of Atlanta...
Dead stock except for the Fullsac X-pipe and 2" cores and after the tune was pulling 110.8 ft lbs of torque at 3k and 96.2 hp at 5.5k with a nice flat AFR in the ~12.8 to ~13.2 range.
Just putting around the neighborhood after bringing her home, definitely a lot more grunt than it had before and no popping.
They also re-calibrated the speedo which I discovered was reading about 9% higher than actual (showing 75 but traveling 70) during a recent trip where I fired up a GPS program with a calculated speed display.

Do you have a Harley # for that mug?
I wonder if it works as well keeping coffee hot as the contigo mugs from Costco.
I like the rubber bottom on it....in case I'd has to toss it between my legs in an emergency.
Looks like it would fit the bag guard leather drink holder too.
It looks different than the last Harley Davidson mug I had...when it had liquid in it the seal between the lid and the cup got too slippery to stay on reliably. But...I see this one is the Screamin' Eagle version....

Now that I finally installed the cartridges the bike not only brakes more stable, without diving, handles high speed turns much more stable, and actually provides a smoother ride! :apple:

I have the "home made" adjustable rear air suspension on mine and you are both correct. Once you get an awesome ride in the rear the front really shows itself as the POS it really is. I have the Harley front cartridges and it still sucks BAD.

Exactly what I was feeling harsh riding, transferred from the weak Harley front suspension components once the back was (Ohlins) stabilized. Now that the front is stabilized I could re-set the rear settings to balance it out, & not having to compensate (the rear shock settings) for the weak front end. This lead (to my happy surprise) a smoother ride over all. I purposely hit uneven pavement and dips expecting the harshness, but the forks absorbed the pavement with firmness, yet a smooth ride.

Today I gave the bike a new pair of sneakers, i had a new front an rear tire fitted - went with Michelin Commander II's this time since the rear Dunlop cupped...... again ..... this time I only got 10,000 miles on the rear before it started to howl in the corners. but then again the first one only lasted about 12,000 miles before it also cupped. I did get 22,000 out of the front Dunlop though.
It aggravates me to replace a tire with plenty of tread depth left in the center third of the tire because the side tread cupped so bad. Maybe if we rode more highway miles and less backroads the tire wouldn't do that :nixweiss: But then that would be no fun ;D

It aggravates me to replace a tire with plenty of tread depth left in the center third of the tire because the side tread cupped so bad. Maybe if we rode more highway miles and less backroads the tire wouldn't do that :nixweiss: But then that would be no fun ;D
Dunno about that. We've put 9,000 on ours since taking it out of the garage in April. OH to TX and back. A trip to WV, another to PA and numerous long day trips. Lots of highway miles on this bike already and my rear tire is starting to hum. Seems as though the center gets worn before the outside and that's causes the cupping. Just a guess on my part.

My thinking is the other way around. I'm thinking the left an right third of the tire with the "enhanced lateral grip compounds" is softer than the center and therefore wearing unevenly due to the forces at work when we lean a 900+ pound machine into a corner and then twist the throttle to power out of that corner which will multiply the forces at work trying to tear the tread off the tire or cause it to loose grip and spin (which is generally a bad thing while leaned over). - the quoted portion is from Dunlop's site -
I do want the tire to grip the road securely I just want even wear so I don't feel cheated when it's time to replace them. Heck, I only get about 4000 - 6000 miles out of the tires on my Ducati, but they wear evenly....quickly...but evenly

Well, today was special. I rode to work, rode over for coffee for my normal Friday Starbucks Coffee with Vickie after my morning meeting and before she gets to work. Filled up the tank and back to the office. Funny thing about filling the tank this morning. I went to my usual place that has 100% 93 octane then on to work.
Lunch came and out to the bike heading home for a sandwich. Bike bucked, snorted and didnt want to start or run smoothly if it did. Rode back to the station (200 yards from my office) and there discovered that last evening, one of the employees put dyed off road diesel in the 100% 93 octane storage tank. Yes boys and girls, it was a special day. I got to spend 2 hours waiting for the tow truck to come and haul my 1 month old SERGU to K'ville HD on Clinton hwy where the entire fuel system can be drained and flushed clean of the mixed dyed diesel and 93 octane.
One plus in this great day is the new fuel tank and left side saddlebag were in (bad spots on the factory paint on both items) so at least the tank will be new and free from dyed diesel. Hope it's ready in a few days.
Hey, it could have been worse and happened in the middle of nowhere. The station owner is a good friend and was so sorry it had happened and will take care of all associated costs. He has the wonderful task now of what to do with 2600 gallons of the stuff.....yes, a special day it was.

Sorry to hear this. About 5 yrs ago a refinery in Albuquerque delivered diesel instead of gas to about 7 different stations in town. A lot of cars, trucks and motorcycles endured the same treatment you just went through.
Be safe and enjoy your ride,

Thanks Pete. Actually didn't do a thread on it. Got a '15 SERGU in blue. Great ride and my first blue bike and first fixed faring Harley. Hope to have it back in a day or so. Weather here is cooling off a bit and it's my kind of riding. The cooler, the better... :2vrolijk_21:

Now that I've read the radar detector posts and decided nuh,uh...no way I'm spending $500+ on that thing...I'll get a ticket for sure. :-X
I got rid of the "new and improved" saddlebag holder-on'ers they gave me for the recall and went to u-nuts and bolts and lock washers all around. It's amazing how much better I felt afterward! :P

I agree its a lot of money but it really did ruin my ride yesterday and I don't want to gone thru that again! Also by the time its all over I will almost spend that much on this da== ticket. The next one would cost me even more since I will use my traffic school "ticket" upon this one. I have 3 early 20's drivers on my insurance so I have to do everything I can to avoid another ticket! Yea I know, I could always slow down like my wife suggested but thats just simply not an option..

Oh, I hear ya, Alan. Especially with that awesome engine you have! I would end up with many tickets. Heck, I take chances with mine often enough, especially when I'm riding solo.
Guess I need to investigate detectors again. I bought a Passport back in the late 80's and paid $300 for it then, which makes the $500 today cheaper by comparison.
Hmmmm...am I talking myself into this now? :'(

I remember when I thought that same thing. After a couple more tickets I thought "damn, I could of had that detector paid for by the second ticket". And now that the detectors have came so far in detecting false signals......it was a no brainer. I hope I don't regret saying this but..........haven't had a ticket since. :nixweiss:

Yep, that detector is worth it. It has paid for itself several times in my 14 Stingray. First time I was in triple digits when it went off, was doing 72 in a 70 mph zone when I went past the KY State trooper. 8) Another I was doing 65 on a twisty road posted at 35. Gives a pretty long warning usually. Also not a whole lot of false alarms.

Last night I was sitting around and thought damn I haven't been on a good ride since the West Virginia GTG. Thought for a second and told my wife think I will go to the Dragon tomorrow.
So got up had a cup of coffee and headed off. Perfect day for a ride. Bought gas in Athens Tennessee for $1.93 and then hit the back roads. Got there a little after 1:00 and did my ride. Got to say the bike handles great with the 12 inch bars. Thought about all the guys that had to work today, but not for long. :huepfenlol2:

I really hate to rub it in but I will. Just got a super deal on a set of Black Saddlebags off a 2012 Ultra the guy is turning into a trike. Wouldn't you figure he is in the North Georgia mountains so I guess I will have to ride my bike and pull my unmatched trailer to get them on Friday. Not a bad ride 180 miles one way.

Susan and I rode up to the HD Dealer in Hico, New River Gorge, to see the 2016 models they had received. They did not have any CVO bikes yet but are expecting a white/black street glide within the week.
They had a couple of road glide ultras, a limited, a limited low, a steet glide special and a fat boy slim s. The Slim S had the 110 motor and for a brief second I thought it might be coming home with us. Miss Susan was able to stand this bike up and reach the brake pedal and such, but was unable to reach the side stand to put it up/down. Oh well no new bike for her this year.LOL

A group of us rode to Knoxville, IA to a protest. A veteran made a silhouette in remembrance for a buddy that was killed in Vietnam. It is a soldier kneeling down holding his gun at a grave with a cross. It was placed at a city park leaned up to the flag pole next to a freedom rock that is painted for guys in the military. The park is next to a closed Veterans Hospital that is now closed. A chicken chit resident has complained that they are offended and wants it removed off public land. They have now contacted an atheist organization that help fight situations like this called Americas United. It has turned the town into an uproar. There was probably 2000-3000 (just guessing) proud veterans, bikers and supporters to fight to keep it there. We need to fight for our rights. Just because one idiot is offended. What about our rights? We are losing our rights every day and keep getting father away from following the Constitution! God bless this country and stand up and fight these idiots. If it wasn't for our armed forces and brave men these aholes , chicken chit idiots wouldn't not know what to do without the freedom they have given us!

Yep, it was raining today so I just watched it depreciate in the garage and started it up once or twice to be sure that annoying valve train noise was still there. Dealer said that ticking noise was installed to drown out the rain drops hitting the roof of my garage.

Quick question East Coast, were the Stock brake and clutch lines long enough ?? We put a set of 10" LA choppers on my buddies last week and they were long enough. Yaffe looks to be a little higher of a bar which I like. Just want to order all that is needed. We got the plug and play for the wiring but didn't need the cables. Any comments would be great, Thx

JH,
The brake and clutch cables are long enough. You may have to cut a few wire ties and re route the clutch cable and by that I mean literally move it a little. If you remove the stock female plug ends for the switch wiring from there stock location under the infotainment system and push them back up towards the gas tank you will be fine with wire length. I had purchased a set of 4" wire extensions from Namz so I didn't move the female plugs up. If you order extensions which are plug and play order a little longer, 6" or 8" inch. That will give you a little more than I had to work with.
Feeding the wires through the bars on the throttle side was a bit challanging but patience and persistance paid off. The bars look nice, feel good too.
Good luck, hope that helps a bit.
Additionally, I ordered a set of Alloy Art good and tite poly riser bushings to replace the stock rubber riser bushings. I emailed them, they told me to use the GT-2's. The stock bolts were not long enough to go through the Alloy Art bushings and back into the lower riser clamp. I removed them and put the stock bushings back for now. So, heads up on that if your planning on replacing the riser bushings. I was in get it done mode and didn't want to run out for longer bolts. I'll replace them over the winter.
-
Thx for the quick response and advise. I will use the wire extensions for sure. We did on my buddies bike as well.

I had a heck of a day yesterday. I picked my bike up from the Harley shop after having them R&R a throttle body for me. A buddy and me were riding and we were about 70 miles from home when gas started pouring out of my bike. We quickly pulled into a CVS Pharmacy parking lot and I shut the bike down and bailed off because the gas hitting the hot engine was starting to smoke. Thank god the bike cooled off without anything flaming up!! It turned out that the Love Jugs cooling fan bracket was adjusted too low and was resting on the fuel line that goes from the tank quick disconnect to the injectors. This of course had rubbed a hole in the line just before the fitting that plugs into the injectors. I called the local Harley shop and they did not have a pick up transport available and also did not have the hose in stock either. No Harley shop within 100 miles had the hose in stock. I was on the phone to line up a tow when a local guy walked up and said a local auto parts store could make the hose. Well my buddy and I decided it was worth a shot so we tore her down in the CVS parking lot with the tools we had that came with the bikes and some nail clipper bought from the CVS to cut zip ties. We even had to pull the tank to get to the cooling fan bracket. As soon as we got the hose off of the bike another local guy pulled up on his bike so I showed him the hose and asked him if he knew the best place in town to get a hose made. Well he said I should call an INDY shop called The Bike Shop which was an INDY Harley repair shop just a few miles away. So I called him. When he answered the phone I asked if he was open because it was 4PM on a Saturday. He said no but I am here what can I do for you. I told him the whole story and he said I tell you what I have a brand new bike on the lift the tank is already removed I am putting different bars and other stuff on it so it will be down for a few days anyway. He removed the hose from that bike and sold it to me just for the amount of money it will take to get another one!! Of course I gave him cash money and included a tip which I had to force him to take. We got my bike back together with the cooling fan bracket adjusted properly of course and she runs like a champ again......SO if anyone breaks down in the Lafayette Louisiana area I HIGHLY RECCOMEND that you call The Bike Shop!!!!

It turned out that the Love Jugs cooling fan bracket was adjusted too low and was resting on the fuel line that goes from the tank quick disconnect to the injectors. This of course had rubbed a hole in the line just before the fitting that plugs into the injectors. I called the local Harley shop and they did not have a pick up transport available and also did not have the hose in stock either. No Harley shop within 100 miles had the hose in stock. I was on the phone to line up a tow when a local guy walked up and said a local auto parts store could make the hose. Well my buddy and I decided it was worth a shot so we tore her down in the CVS parking lot with the tools we had that came with the bikes and some nail clipper bought from the CVS to cut zip ties. We even had to pull the tank to get to the cooling fan bracket. As soon as we got the hose off of the bike another local guy pulled up on his bike so I showed him the hose and asked him if he knew the best place in town to get a hose made. Well he said I should call an INDY shop called The Bike Shop which was an INDY Harley repair shop just a few miles away. So I called him. When he answered the phone I asked if he was open because it was 4PM on a Saturday. He said no but I am here what can I do for you. I told him the whole story and he said I tell you what I have a brand new bike on the lift the tank is already removed I am putting different bars and other stuff on it so it will be down for a few days anyway. He removed the hose from that bike and sold it to me just for the amount of money it will take to get another one!! Of course I gave him cash money and included a tip which I had to force him to take. We got my bike back together with the cooling fan bracket adjusted properly of course and she runs like a champ again......SO if anyone breaks down in the Lafayette Louisiana area I HIGHLY RECCOMEND that you call The Bike Shop!!!!
Places and guys like this are hard to find! He deserves a shout out!

I had a heck of a day yesterday. I picked my bike up from the Harley shop after having them R&R a throttle body for me. A buddy and me were riding and we were about 70 miles from home when gas started pouring out of my bike. We quickly pulled into a CVS Pharmacy parking lot and I shut the bike down and bailed off because the gas hitting the hot engine was starting to smoke. Thank god the bike cooled off without anything flaming up!!

that is actually a very cool story. Obviously not the gas pouring out part but the fact people helped. Glad your day was not completely ruined and nothing was permanently damaged.

I did absolutely nothing on my CVO today after having that major "brain fart" last weekend and bending my bars. To make matters worse, I couldn't just put the same bars back on heaven forbid, that would be way too easy. I had to try the new Reaper bars from Chubby as well as the Carlini's to see which I liked better. Of course I didn't take into account that both of those bars grip spots are lower than the top of the stated rise so after tearing the bike apart, I noe need to order both bars in the next size up so I am sitting here in my chair posting on a beautiful Sunday afternoon instead of out there doing what I love to do on the weekends, ride my bike! here is a pic of what it looks like right now..
Notice the new Arc 600 series amps I added last week.

After a Labor Day weekend trip to Gatlinburg via the Cherohala Skyway & Cherokee, NC, Blue was showing 17k miles and had cupped out her 2nd Dunlop D407 rear tire. So, it was over to Atlanta Harley-Davidson on Friday for some fresh rubber. On the bright side, the first D407 only lasted 7,400 miles. The second one made it 9,600.

Hooked my Bushtec trailer up just checking it out after putting led tail lights in. When I pulled brake lever tail lights and side markers went out. Tore into the trailer wiring looking for a short, didn't find a thing. Sat back looked at bike and thought well maybe something went wrong with the wire harness. Turned out the splitter that the previous owners dealer made up shorted out inside the connector. Luckily I always have a Bushtec harness or two laying around so I scavenged the splitter off one of them and soldered all the harness wires in. No problems anymore.
Now tomorrow I will put the trailer wire sheathing back on underneath it.

They look great! I added the LED turn signal lights on a couple years ago and just changed the front turn signals to dynamic ringz.

Thanks! :2vrolijk_21: Just did the headlight, and man what a difference. I won't be needing the Hi Beam (H11) between the passing/driving lights, Custom Dynamic Ringz, and H11 (OPT7) Low Beam. Really lights up the place. Only negative, if you can call it that is the red dot on the tip of the H11 bulb.

I installed the harness shown below. It connects under the left side cover to a male connector just waiting for an accessory harness to be plugged in. I used the loose wires shown on the one end to connect my radar detector to, and the plug at the same end is a bonus accessory plug.
Works like a champ.

That looks a lot easier than the setup I did. I added aux switches on the left side of the fork lock and a different harness into that same plug under the cover. I have my driving lights and white LED accent lights on those switches. Are you telling me that aux plug behind that panel is already hot when the bike is turned on and I didn't need to add those switches?

Mike,
The short answer, I guess...is yes. I was looking at the aux switches as well for my bike, thought I could use one for the radar detector and the other for some future thing. But then I found this harness and did the research and decided to try it instead. Got it for around $24 delivered.
This harness has a 15A rating. I had to trim the ends off 2 of the three leads, but that was a breeze. You use the purple lead for hot rather than the red lead, as the red lead is hot all the time.
My only concern with this harness is that the PDF instructions said to hook this up to the spare plug under the left side cover. The shop manual for our bike says the spare is a dark grey plug and is the the bottom of the two plugs under the cover, but this harness will not fit that plug as it is a 4-connector, nor are they even wired the same. The top connector of the two, however, is wired exactly the same and has the same color and type connector, but the manual says that connector under the left side cover is a diagnostic connector.
I did a trial hookup before putting anything together permanently using the "diagnostic connector on the bike, and it worked perfectly with no issues. I haven't checked for DTC's yet, but it worked fine with no issues. I can only assume that since the connector was the exact same type, and the wiring colors and quantities of wires were identical, and because the HD web site said this connector worked for our '15 RGU's, that I have done the right thing. The other, darker grey connector, had a lot more wires leading to it, so I am left to assume that it's the diagnostic plug in and that the shop manual incorrectly labels the diagram.
PM me if you have any questions!

I didn't want to go with a remote detector, as I've heard that rain can kill a detector quicker than anything, plus I wanted to be able to use this detector in my other rides, so it needed to be removable.
The big problem for a Road Glide is the width of the windshield...it just is so wide that you need to get your detector out to the side of it, unless your windshield is very short and you can shoot over the top of it. That and the fact that your detector will not pick up a laser being shot at you if your detector is behind a tinted windshield. Mine is a medium smoke Freedom shield, which I was told would render picking up laser impossible.
My current setup is a RAM mount on the two control bolts to the clutch. Then I have one of their ugly black 6" clamps topped off by a 2" x 4" RAM platform to which I mount the detector. It gives me just enough reach to the left side to be able to peek around the windshield.
I don't know if I'll keep the RAM system or not, but until I find a better option (or better looking), I'll stick with this for now.
I thought about a fairing mount of some sort, but drilling into the fairing was just out of the question for me, so...
I'll post pictures of the setup later this week coming up.

Good information, thanks! I'll stay tuned! :2vrolijk_21:

Wednesday we road over to Bike Blues and BBQ, and road daily in perfect weather, then took two lane home Sunday and Monday. Total of 1885 miles in great weather. Putting the miles at 27,000 on my one year old CVO Road Glide Ultra. Now it's been raining since Monday evening. So I washed the CVO Road Glide. Then I washed the CVO Road King. Today since still raining I will wax one of them.

I was getting a static buzz in my left tour pack speaker, so I figured I might as well upgrade the rear 5.25" speakers with the 6.75" Kicker KCS674's. It's a nice upgrade over the Harley junk >:( boom speakers, but probably not a serious audiophile's choice ::). Definitely a improvement in sound! :2vrolijk_21: I haven't had a chance to try them at highway speeds, yet.
You can see the magnet size difference between the Kickers and Harley's junk. They fit easily into the rear speaker bucket, no adapter required (drilling new holes, is). I don't like the Kicker grills as they can easily pop out and aren't held in by a retaining ring.

About 95% there on the decision to buy-in to the 5 year ESP as the 2-year warranty on Blue lapsed back on Aug 7th.

That's cool. I'd thought the last Vulcan flight happened about a year ago as remembered reading something in one of the AF rags about spares and funds running out then. To this day still have vivid memories of the reporting early in the Falklands campaign when the Vulcans made their strike from Ascension and the little reported stories later of badly they fubar'd fuel flow calcs and nearly took a swim on the trip home.

I looked at my CVO as I walked past it about 100 times this weekend, filling the garage with moving boxes full of household stuff. The Closets are already full of packed boxes, as is the basement. Never realized how much stuff we accumulated - and we thought we had the place cleaned up pretty good.
The movers show up 10/26 !!
The countdown begins......T-15days until we depart Connecticut for the last time as residents of that state. I guess I'll always be a Da** Yankee to the locals, but look out Tennessee here we come :orange:

Did the HD Experienced Rider Skills Class yesterday on my RGU. Others in the class were on Heritage Softails. Think they may have had an advantage with wheel base and seat height. Found the figure 8 a bit harder than I thought. Never got down to the 20 foot box but did manage 22 feet. More practice to come. Had to laugh a bit the instructor took one of the Street 500's with the training engine guard and laid it on the guard and carved about a 10 foot diameter scrape in the pavement.
It was pushing 35 degrees when I left home in the morning and was glad for the full fairing and heated grips/seat.
-
Congratulations Ron. It's a tough class but glad you enjoyed it.
As for the heated grips, I had an opportunity to try out the heated seat this morning coming into work. It was 32 when I left the house and as this was the first time I've owned a bike with a heated seat, I thought what the heck. VERY NICE INDEED! The grips I've used already so I knew I liked them but the bun warmer in the seat....best thing since sliced bread.... ;D

Did the HD Experienced Rider Skills Class yesterday on my RGU. Others in the class were on Heritage Softails. Think they may have had an advantage with wheel base and seat height. Found the figure 8 a bit harder than I thought. Never got down to the 20 foot box but did manage 22 feet. More practice to come. Had to laugh a bit the instructor took one of the Street 500's with the training engine guard and laid it on the guard and carved about a 10 foot diameter scrape in the pavement.
It was pushing 35 degrees when I left home in the morning and was glad for the full fairing and heated grips/seat.
Good Job
I have taken that class twice, once on my 09 SERG and once on my 12 SERG. I took ride like a Pro on my 13 SERK. When done, I could do a 20 foot diameter circle to the right and a 21 to the left on the King.
Can't now, out of practice, can still do a 22 on either bike the King or the SERGU. 22 foot box is great, means u turns on the road are easy
-
Ride like a pro has classes in north Alabama almost every weekend. Maybe next spring after some more practice. Just don't want to lay my RGU down as its really top heavy with anything in tour pack.

If you talk with them you will find out, even if you drop your bike which most do not, you will not hurt it.
Talking with them they use protection on the engine guard and bag guards. You are not going fast enough to go over farther than that.
I carried a towel with me, when I got to the class sight I took my bags off. Then I had pre cut pipe insulation, the type you buy at home depot to keep pipes from freezing. I had them pre made to fit my engine guars and rear bag supports as no bag guards.
This was a big help, knowing if I dropped it nothing would be scratched. I did not drop it.
I have practiced on my 15 SERGU, and you are right about top heavy. Can't quite get it as tight as the king but 22 foot box is fine, once in a while I succeed in the 20 foot box.
I have removed the rear bag guards on it as I do not like the looks and my wife wanted some on her 15 Road Glide special.

I took my 15 SESG in for a new Chrome starter today… About 2 weeks ago, I brought my bike in for the 5000 mile service and the service manager said; Did you know the paint is flaking off of your starter? I had noticed that there was two small dime sized places on the starter that the paint had flaked off but, I guess I just didn't think the MOCO would do anything about it, I was wrong. I paid the difference to go with the chrome vs a new black starter and the Moco took care of the rest. $100 bucks never looked so good.
After looking at it and getting opinions from others, everyone that seen the paint flaking off of the starter thinks it's from when I had the chrome inner primary put on. Because the place where the paint was gone was right at the bolts.

Did the Antwerp 500. 571 miles through the Belgium and Netherlands countryside. Started at 15:00 and finished at 09:30 the following morning. Very challenging as all they give you is a paper road book sheet and you have to follow it exactly to get your log book stamped at 14 checkpoints some of which are secret and not listed on the road book! Not easy in the dark in unfamiliar territory. Very tired now so it's an early night before heading back to the UK tomorrow with a very very dirty bike due to overnight rain!!

New shoes.....25000 miles. Front still had a little but the rear was gone.

So far today....dropped all the fluids.....gonna do a service and a wash starting in 2 minutes....and look at the Heat Demons that quit.

Installed a complete Fullsac exhaust, DX header, 2" cores and the TTS tuner that was supplied with a custom map for my bike. Then a top to bottom cleaning.

Wait! Clarification needed... Does "shoes" mean Tires, or possibly Brake Pads?
Only one of those seems likely.
-
Maybe I'm wrong but I thought shoes were brake pads and sneakers were related to tires. But hey what do I know.
-
I can see getting that out of the pads ( I can't ride too hard, stop fast ), but no way are the DUNFLOPS GOING THAT FAR. Besides shoes have always meant brake pads ( old term brake shoes). :nixweiss:

Just put my Screamin eagle Logo on Tour Pack. Painted the insert the color of the pinstripe on the bike for a little contrast. May regret and wished I had went with the primary color or the deep burgundy, time will tell.

Looks Great, Chains! 8) Later--HUBBARD

Looks awesome...I'm wondering if I should put one on the Bushtec as well
you know... continuity etc

I can't say since everyone here knows I have had more Bushtec's than anyone should have. Had I put the logo on each of them I would be out around $2K in logos. :nervous:
Every time I think well this is the one another one catches my eye and I buy it.
If you are going to keep it and can get your hands on one I think it would look great on the back.
I have two CVO covers and have been toying with taking one of them and making it fit a Bushtec trailer. I would have the logo on top. My problem is I have had Turbo 2's, Quantum's and Roadstar's and each takes a different style cover. Also I would want to somehow get it to be waterproof as well. On top of that I really like the retro look of the Entourage. So until I settle in on a trailer no cover will be made.

Thursday picked up my SERGU from having all the Hail damage fixed. Looks great, then I rode it home the long way going over foothills parkway.
Yesterday I took the SERK our for a little 200 mile Fall colors ride, Little River road in Smoky Mountain National Park had very nice colors.
Hope to ride today, but looks like weatherman is wrong again. Was suppose to be clear and 0% rain, very cloudy and now calling for rain. :(

Nothing today, waiting on the rain to go away. A ride tomorrow looks promising.

Why not ride in the rain? I don't get that at all. Just dress for it.

Another rough day here in San Diego.....I rode over to Fiesta Island this afternoon. It's one of the few places left in California where you can actually drive on the beach, right down to the water and it's in the San Diego city limits.

Inattentive motorist was cited for illegal left turn; here's hoping GEICO make a fair offer on the payout so we don't get into a stare-down
This is what's left of a 2013 CVO Road Glide after a inattentive motorist made an improper left turn into me last December on my way to work, I was travelling in the opposite direction from the final resting position of the bike. I recovered every dime I paid for the bike plus the thousands in accessories and clothing. No complaints about the GEICO claims process from me. I'm insured with USAA/Progressive by the way.
Thats great to hear as I just changed my mc insurance to Geico last month. Still hoping I won't have to use it though
-

I ride in the rain frequently. I have left my home in the rain to go to Daytona, just over 600 miles and had it rain all the way.
However, like yesterday, I do not suit up to go run the curves in the rain with wet leaves on the road.
That said I did get out for a short 2 hour ride yesterday, just very light sprinkles while I was out, no rain gear. some of the roads were pretty slick with leaves.
-
Washed and waxed mine today.
-
Rode it. The old SERG. 1st of November in Missouri and riding in jeans and a tshirt all afternoon til nearly dusk. A good day.

And.....San Diego being a world class destination.....always has a lot of foreign people. Met these two lovely young ladies visiting all the way from Italy. With heavy accents we stumbled through much conversation. Great sense of humor.....when I asked one said "we're from Sicily and we both have lots of brothers and lots of fathers". Told them I was clear on that.....I watched the Godfather. :P

So for those of you that live in an area where it's already cold...possibly snow on the ground....bike already put away for the winter.....just know what we're taking you along with us....in thoughts. Welcome to sunny So Cal. :bananarock:

Nice JCZ...
We sure do not have that weather, but no snow either.
Getting the bike ready today, leaving in the AM for Crystal River FL, hopefully they have that kind of weather! 8) At least they will have good fresh seafood and raw oysters.
-
Dave, be sure to take the camera and keep it around your neck.......and use it! ;D
You get ready to take a serious ride west, let me know. Be happy to show you around. :2vrolijk_21:

Thanks for the pics JC. How's the back holding up? You ever own or ride a V-rod?

Added FOBO TPMS tire pressure monitoring.
It displays the pressures on my iPhone. It seems pretty dang cool.
I do wish I could get rid of the default sport bike though

Sounds interesting, might have to look into the system.

Called up Fullsac and ordered a DX header, 2" power cores and sleeves. Now all I need is for my bike to get here to put them on when they arrive.

Highs in the 70's (may have even reached 80) today... so I took the day off and decided I would get a ride in (I know you all are shocked :shocked2:) only to find out my Battery Tender had chit the bed.... Light was still green showing everything was good to go, however when I took it off the tender and hit the start I got the low/dead battery "whir". So what I did on my CVO today was go buy another Battery Tender Plus and miss out on a great day in November to go riding. :bigcry:

I took a ride on my bike after installing Ohlin #2 adjustables on the rear. What a friggin difference! I cannot believe the difference in the factory and aftermarket shocks performance wise. Not cheap at all but they really take the shock out of irregularities in the road at low and high speeds. Will soon be doing the Ohlin kit for the front asap.
-
Took a ride along the Amite and Tickfaw rivers between Baton Rouge and New Orleans, LA.
-
Tickfaw Marina
-
Spent a couple hours washing and waxing the bike. The riding season may be coming to an end soon, snow is in the forecast, so that means the salt is coming soon. Hopefully, will be able to carve out some time for a ride or two this weekend.
-
So you are happy with the Ohlin product. How many miles did you ride? How did it handle in the corners, potholes etc. Money spent on the suspension is one of the best investments one can make. When people talk about lowering their bike to look cool I just cringe. Glad you are enjoying your new shocks

Hate reading these post although I'm not far behind you. Looks like we have a week of 60* weather next week and after that it's a crap shoot. I'll clean mine up in the garage over the course of the winter. I like to tear everything off I can and spend a few days on it.

Took I-25 to Santa Fe today. Had lunch with the former Sales Manager from SFHD. Grab a couple of picture with my "flag" in a local Rally. One at a Starbucks in SF and the other at Iglesia San Jose (St Joseph's Church) in Cerrillos, NM on the way home down the Turquoise Trail, Hwy 14 Southbound. About 125 miles round trip. Turned 14k on my odometer. Only 1k to the next service. Looking forward to riding next weekend and hopefully into December. No garage blanket for me.

Added a Kuryakyn passenger drink holder. Picked it up for under $20.00 no box but new. Need to find a deal on one for 1 1/4 bars to match now. Do you guys that have them leave the basket on all the time or only install when you have a passenger. Also anyone ever have the basket come loose?

I've had the passenger cup holder on my bike for about 2 years now. I've never taken it off and it's never loosened up. I had the handlebar mounted rig but didn't like the look so I got rid of it. When Janet's riding with me we share her drink and when I'm solo I can easily reach back and grab my drink.

Thanks Joe. Gave it a 200 mile road test today riding the mountain brow in Alabama up to Georgia and skirted Tennessee, it never moved. Kept my water in it and could easily reach it. May not add a front one after all.

We did something new today.. we went for ride this afternoon. No, that's not the new something...the fact that I was wearing a T-Shirt was the new something we did! Definitely never able to do that in November back north in CT :P after about a month we're finally starting to feel "settled in" at our new place in TN and since it's only the two of us for this holiday we took advantage of the warm weather and complete lack of traffic to go out for a few hours.
Took part in one of our favorite activities, "I wonder were this road goes" for several hours exploring the area around the new home. Really nice ride through some rural areas with plenty of horses, cattle and even some goats being seen. Once we were ready to head back home it was time to consult the GPS for the route.

Wished it happy birthday. I've had it for 1 fun year :orange:

Paula wants me to tell ya I got me a new pickup truck!! ---- it's the company truck ::) , but she insists it's "mine"......
And just like we knew was going to be the case we're loving it here.
I've been studying paper maps and Google in an attempt to plan a few adventures when we have the time to dedicate a whole day to exploring.

added CFR pipes and OMG do they sound awesome, no other pipe comes close and I know I've heard others say you lose torque with them but I didn't notice any drop whatsoever

Took Terri on a 75 mile ride after lunch. Beautiful 74 degree sunny day. Could have ridden a lot more but since she has had a back issue since the WVA GTG I think I will bring her back up to long rides at a slow pace. Don't want to break her again.

Bruce, A couple of our favorites is a route from Triune(hwy96 & Horton Hwy) down to Lynchburg then across 129 to Lynnville and up through Columbia back to Franklin. Also From Loveless Café down Natchez Trace as far as you want to ride and back up to Leipers Fork and back to Franklin. Another is go down Natchez Trace to Alabama, then across to Muscle Shoals and back up through Lawrenceburg to Franklin. Center Hill Lake also has some nice routes around it.

Much better Mike thanks. Now of course she goes to physical therapy 2 to 3 times a week and has been since the GTG. I didn't realize how messed up her back was. They have put her on a regiment of stretches and exercises that help a lot. As long as she stays disciplined and does them I see a future with her being able to ride with me again.

Rode it. :apple:

I've finally given in and went to see a surgeon about my back. A few PM's with JCZ got some ideas and we're going to try a shot or two in my back to see if we can ease the pain a little. Only thing I can do that doesn't cause discomfort or a numbness in my left index finger is ride the bike. Too bad I can't do that for a living. I can't even sleep more than 4 hours without waking up in pain. Tried 3 different mattresses in the last 3 years so I don't think that's it. Spinal Stinosis (sic) is what the vet says it is.

72 degrees here today, took the CVO out for a nice ride over to Atlanta Motor Speedway, down to Griffin, over to Newnan, then over to the Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport then back to Stockbridge, nice little ride. Surprised I didn't see more bikes out as nice as the weather was.

Put the heated gear connector on my RGU the other day. Hope to make use of it as winter gets to TN. Also decided I was getting a bit more wind with the Freedom Shield in 14" than I preferred and ordered a 16" for winter and hopefully some trips next year. The 14 was significantly better than stock but wind was hitting the top of my half helment and getting a fair amount of wind noise in my ears. I know this can be overcome with volume, ear plugs or full face helment with speakers but I just like cruising with the half helment and stock speakers at normal volumes.

Well, it wasn't today...it was yesterday but is still early. Did the Toys for Tots run in Columbia SC. Very worthy cause with a whole lot of friends. For anyone in midlands SC area, the Dorn VA run is on the 13th in Columbia. Should be well over 2500+ riders this year weather will be a warm 77 degrees.
-
First thing I followed Cat Eyes advice on tips to fix my heated grips. He was spot on, RH grip unplugged under cap therefore the circuit was not complete and they would not work. Used a needle nose plugged it back in and went for a 70 mile ride. They worked flawlessly. Actually they get so warm I may be able to heat my lunch when on the road.
Thanks again Jim (Cat Eye) :2vrolijk_21

60-70 degrees for the last 5 days here in Oklahoma City. Phenomenal riding weather. Ridden to work every day this week. End of the shift I head in a direction opposite of home, put on 50 miles or so, and head on to the hacienda. Love my "new" 2010 Softail Convertible.

Took the harley to the dealer to get the 25k service done and a Stage 3 screamin eagle kit installed, 259e cams, compression piston and lots of other extras.
whoo hooo!!
-
taking it in tomorrow to finally get the front Ohlins put in. I have been running the HD premium front cartridges for 38000 miles with the rear Ohlins (Howards #6's). I have wanted to do the front Ohlin's since they came out but just couldn't justify it since I wasn't sure there would really be that big of a difference. My front is starting to "chatter" a bit and after all those miles it is time to service them so I figure now is the time. Hoping after they are done I wish I had done them a long time ago.
-
Got my ignition switch cover in bought black anodized. Set it on and did not like the black look. Got out the oven cleaner soaked the cover and 15 minutes later ready for polishing.
Here's the black one

Here it is after removing anodize and rough polish. Will take dremel and felt wheel around cross. Should look ok when done

Finally installed the Custom Dynamics LED Front Bullet turn signals and Load Equalizer!! :orange:

New-to-Use / Replacement '13 FLHRSE5 got its Fullsac pipes on last Wednesday night and spent a little time on the Dyno getting fine tuned today.
(https://ridingtwoup.files.wordpress.com/2015/12/20151209_2123141.jpg?w=800)
HP was down a tick from our original '13 FLHRSE5 with 17k miles on the clock when it went in for the Dyno tune (96.2 to 94.5) and torque was up a tick (110.8 to 111.2). The replacement bike only has 2,400 miles.

You are taking it to a the next level, very nice.

taking it in tomorrow to finally get the front Ohlins put in. I have been running the HD premium front cartridges for 38000 miles with the rear Ohlins (Howards #6's). I have wanted to do the front Ohlin's since they came out but just couldn't justify it since I wasn't sure there would really be that big of a difference. My front is starting to "chatter" a bit and after all those miles it is time to service them so I figure now is the time. Hoping after they are done I wish I had done them a long time ago.
Got the bike back today and got to try out the front Ohlins, truly great! smooth as silk and yes, i wish I had done them when they first came out.. IMHO worth the money

Well for the first time ever I went for a ride On Christmas Eve :pepper: :pepper: :pepper: There is usually snow on the ground or too much salt on the roads but this year's mild weather gave me a chance to ride this late in the year. I stopped at the same spot that I trailer-ed my Triple Red to, along the shore of Lake Erie last winter to do a photo shoot for a calendar where we are the December page :) What a difference a year makes :2vrolijk_21: Merry Christmas to all my CVO Friends

We went out for a few hours today and like you it was the first time going for a ride on Christmas Eve. But unlike you we moved to a more southerly location this fall - we're settled into our new home in Tennessee - and I was wearing a T-shirt during our ride due to the milder than normal temeratures.
Explored another group of new to us roads and I didn't even get lost this time!

85 today in Sunny Florida. Installed Wards fans today after a test ride I think they are awesome!
-
Hard to imagine riding on Christmas Day in northern Indiana, but that's what we did today. By the time all the family stuff was over it was 4:30 before we hit the road, and since it was 45 degrees and only an hour of daylight left it was a short ride. Wasn't the longest ride we ever took but may be the only time we will get to ride on Christmas Day, and looking ahead at the weather I'm pretty sure today was it till spring. For all you lucky people that get to keep riding, have fun and be safe!!

Walked out in the garage and looked at it. 76 today with 6 inches of rain. Still raining now, backyard looks like a pond.

Same here. No riding and it was 75 all day. Rain all day, too. This has been the warmest and wettest Christmas I can ever remember.

here in western IOWA we got 7 inches of snow on xmas eve...so mine was on the kick stand too :nixweiss:

35 degrees with no snow and most of the salt off the roads :orange: . so we rode around Lake Geneva WI and back Home Lots of sun shine and heated gear made the ride just like summer . Billy :orange: :orange:

Swapped out my current mufflers for a set of Kuryakyn Mellow Crushers. Sound is deeper than the mufflers I removed, swapped out to get mufflers with tips. Considered removing my 2 inch Fullsac inserts from my current mufflers but seemed like a bunch of work plus I would have to have bought mufflers with tips anyway this way I got a new set with mega tips. Got in close to 50 miles today 60 degrees and sunny.

Made a few minor additions during the snow break. EZ Brake slotted pedal, Heated gear fixed plug mounted on air deflector under tank and lastly a set of HD Daymaker LED fog lamps mounted on lower guards w/panel switch. Still need to adjust aim. Think I want them just left/right of main headlight and just barely down about even with low beam. Looks like we're supposed to be 60's here Saturday so may get to try some of this out, except the heated gear :).

In anticipation of warmer temps and getting Miss Debbie out on Blue II for a couple rides on Sat & Sun, I left the BMW BCR at home and took Blue II to work yesterday just to get the cobwebs off since she's been sitting since Dec '13 with just a weekly engine run. It felt really good to be back on the RK vs. the sportbike, if only for the sheer joy of variety.
However, even though she's been on the Battery Tender I had to remind myself the bike still has the OEM battery installed at the factory way back in June 2012. With that in mind and knowing how modern batteries seem to give you very little warning before they crap-out, I'm now in the market for an OEM-spec 66010-97C battery at a non-OEM $170 price tag. I thought about putting in a 'better' aftermarket battery but my awesome service advisor Kelly at HD of Atlanta suggested sticking with the OEM model, given I have an ESP.
Sound advise and quite frankly, I'm impressed that the stock 66010-97C battery on a barely ridden bike (remembering we bought Blue II in Nov with 2,500 miles to replace our totaled CVORK) lasted nearly four years. The 66010-97C in Blue I was also going strong at 3.5 years w/18,000 miles. So, not too worried about getting short-changed with the OEM battery @ $135. The OEM battery in my '11 Wide Glide crapped-out almost 3-years to the day it was made.

It hit 40º here in Indiana today. Took a ride around the outskirts of town, stopped at "The Tap" for a couple brews and went home. Supposed to be 55º tomorrow. Gonna ride more to get the fuel stabilizer out of the tank and get ready for my upgrades/dyno tune on Sunday!
-
Went for a very short ride on the CVO King yesterday, high 50's low 60's. Was nice to get out.
Also put the back seat and sissy bar on the King last night. Wife is going to ride with me today on a club run. She had knee surgery so she can't ride her own for a couple months. Very rare for her to ride bitch... as in less than once a year.
-
Finalized the installation of run turn brake for tour pack and added a brake flasher. I think I wil like the extra light from the lower turn signals working as running and brake lights. Should be much safer when pulling the Bushtec to have turn signals on the tour pack and trailer.

Washed and put away after a 100+ mile ride yesterday. Makes the 3rd or 4th time this winter it's been put away for the winter.

Friday I rode over to Smoky Mountain HD to have the 30K service done on the 15 SERGU. It was a nice 24 degrees when I left the house to ride over. But bike is serviced and ready to ride!

Met a friend at the dealership that was getting his bike serviced and decided to have a rattling noise checked out that is coming from the engine. Ended up having to leave the bike. They found metal filings in the oil. Hopefully I will have more information the beginning of the week. Hated to leave the bike but happy I didn't get "they all do that". Guess I'll have to ride the Hot Rod (aka. Skunk) around for a bit.

Hey cvosjoe,
Sounds like it may be time for a 117 upgrade?
Been thinking about it but not for the 15 FLTRUSE because it's my year or two trade bike. I would like to bump up the Skunk. It already makes 124HP and 129TQ. Figure if I bump it up to a 117 it should produce low 130s for HP and at least 140TQ. I'm waiting until someone manufactures an 11 to 1 piston that will fit the new HD 117 jugs.
-
Like Joe, I have been looking hard at the Jugs and pistons for my CVO King, mine has similar numbers to Joe.
I too want pistons with more compression for the set up.

cvosjoe, just to know for sure was the issue on your 2015? How many miles? Have not read of as many issues with the SE lifters but still unproven for long term use. Curious because I have the same bike and was trying to make it through warranty before I start changing out suspect parts. I know Dave puts a lot of miles on his bikes but I'm probably only doing 12k a year. Mine was purchased last May 2015.

Yes this is on my 2015. Mileage is 34k. Oddly enough the motor on my 2011 FLTRUSE was replaced because of a lifter and inner cam bearing failure at 31k.

Cleaned it and gave it a waxing. Had to remove the scuffs from where the rear passenger seat sits on the rear fender.

Thanks, heard that a lot on the older 110's before HD went to the newer lifters. Sounds like they are still not up to aftermarket but may make it through warranty for most riders. Going to try and get over your way once the weather warms a bit. Have a daughter in West Knoxville I need to visit and explore some roads in the area when she's at work.

Joe is only the second 14 and newer CVO I have witnessed with lifter issues, the other was a 14 Limited CVO last summer I road out to CA, OR and WA with.

Hopefully heading to huck fins in pigeon forge for some catfish and white beans this afternoon. Looks to be a good afternoon for riding in east TN.

10" WO578's and heated grips

Still waiting for the snow to melt here so I can put some miles on the new 117!

Took a 60 mile ride today. Temps in the mid-fifties so a little chilly. Stopped at the HD dealer and stopped for lunch. Good day...but then, any day is a good day for a ride.

Pre-flight for the 450 mile ride down to Daytona on Thursday morning. This will be the first road trip for Blue II and she seems like she's ready to go. Definitely a less refined girl than Blue I. Idle's a bit more rough but a bit more torque. Capped the weekend with a short trip to the local watering hole for hot wings, cold beer and good times.

100 mile run. Temps near 80. Nice!

Picked up my bike at the dealer with new tire installed and chrome inner primary. Compensator was bad so while it was being replaced under extended warranty I felt it was the perfect time to put the primary on free labor lol.
Makes a lot less noise now that its fixed. Dealer charge to warranty $737.00
-
Smart thinking about the inner primary, Jim. They really finish the look off nicely on the left side.
I changed the oil and primary fluid today, will do the tranny tomorrow morning when she's cool. Changing all three holes a little sooner than required, pulling a trailer around these Ozarks the way we do.

Had a new front tire installed and did a short run. Temps in the low 80s. :drummer:

Cold and rain here in Northern VA, so I pulled all reflectors including the one on the rear fender off my CVO Pro Street, relocated license plate to axle (removed OEM bracket). Started "black anodizing" all the raw bolts on the front end. I will post photos in a while.

Finished up the 5k service & changed the tranny fluid, then washed her and cleaned her up nice.

Unpacking from the weekends Daytona ride and a little clean up. Short ride, just because it's so nice outside today!!
-
I put my 3 month over due license plate sticker on because Illinois doesn't send out notices any more! A little more salt removal rain and I'll be back in the wind?!
-
Over the weekend the weather cooperated so I was able to ride my bike home from the dealer after, monotubes, monkey bars, new radio, DX head pipe, TTS, and tune. After riding it home I realized the bars were in desperate need of adjustment, so on Sunday afternoon I tore it back apart and moved the bars back 1.25 inches. I also realized the highway pegs needed some attention so they were also remounted to function correctly. After we get a new anntenna and a tour pak rack we'll be ready to ride.....I think

Hello SSTuner.
I like the look of the black anodizing, tried to find out what you are doing by going back a few pages, cannot see any information.
Is this some kind of kit you use to do it at home or do you send it off. I thought anodizing (anodising) was only for Aluminium (Aluminum).
Whatever it is it looks good, I could use that on the fasteners on old bikes as well. Information please.

Well, i bought it 3 days ago, a friend bought me stubby antennas as a gift on Saturday, Sunday I installed the garage door opener receiver. Today I will put the ~11 inch windsplitter windshield on it then ride to the dealer and swap that with the tall one on the bike I traded in. Frazier's in Buford, GA, treats me really well. Buy 3 Road Glides from them with one being a CVO and they'll treat you well too!

Well today Ole Punkin is going to get a new set of Progressive 944 shocks on her. I put a set of Progressive 440's on her back in 2005 I believe and I have a broken one. It will be nice to have a decent handling bike again!!!! Maybe this year I will up the front suspension as well.

Today I will be going into the office where it will be seen for the first time by coworkers. One of them, who became a motorcycle "expert" after buying his first bike, will go over it with a fine toothed comb and then proceed to tell everyone willing to listen, and many unwilling, how he'd never spend that much on a bike. Of course, to my face he'll tell me what a sweet ride it is.
Lol, I always get cynical when I have to go into the office.

I fiddle-farted with that "software" on Harley's website for route planning for our new 6.5 GPS systems.
I must be used to real software written by people who actually have to use it, because in all my decades of dealing with software and computers; to my recollection, I've never used any type of GPS software that was more contrary and frustrating.
And why, for the price of admission into the CVO community, Harley wouldn't include real software for us to put on our PC's or Mac's that would do the job right locally, is beyond me.
And while we're talking software, why do we have to buy updates for our maps? For $40k for the bike, you'd think we'd get updates for, say, the life of the warranty at no extra charge.
Oh, well. Maybe the new marketing weenie will take care of things like this.
Right...

Some friends and I make an annual trek to the tiny speck of Snook, TX to enjoy a local specialty, Chicken Fried Bacon. Yes, it IS worth the trip!
451 miles today and rolled over the 30000 mile mark on this bike. 27 of those are mine (I bought a garage queen).
The weather was fantastic, if a little nippy to start.

Put 165 miles on her yesterday, on some of the twisties near Mountain Home and Bull Shoals Lake, as you can see below.
Contrary to what it may look like out there in the distance, the lake is within a foot of being at "full pool", which is to say..."normal pool".
The water was super clear, but won't be ready for swimming until early June without a wetsuit. The high was right at 70 degrees yesterday, the low tonight will be around 31.
Fickle later winter weather, but I was really happy for a beautiful day to take her out!
-
And one more with the Bull Shoals Dam in the background from yesterday's ride. At the time the dam was completed, it was the 5th largest in the country of its type.
The water in the lake at maximum capacity (I've seen it like that back in 2011), is enough water to fill 5,760,000 acres of land one foot deep. It is the 16th largest reservoir in the country and a retirement paradise!

Nice looking lake and dam Harry. That was one of my jobs before I retired was for design and inspect dams.

Thank you. Appreciate the compliment. Couldn't be happier

Put 165 miles on her yesterday, on some of the twisties near Mountain Home and Bull Shoals Lake, as you can see below.
Contrary to what it may look like out there in the distance, the lake is within a foot of being at "full pool", which is to say..."normal pool".
The water was super clear, but won't be ready for swimming until early June without a wetsuit. The high was right at 70 degrees yesterday, the low tonight will be around 31.
Fickle later winter weather, but I was really happy for a beautiful day to take her out!
Beautiful back drop and even prettier bike!!

Installed this....
-
It came in today, installed while on my lunch break. It's wider than my Freedom it replaced and lays back just a touch more. I'll post on the vendor reviews when I have a few more miles behind it. My first impression is the wind pocket is much nicer for me and I can tell the side wind will be reduced for Vickie...which is what I needed. I'm a Freedom shield supporter but from my initial impression, the Clearview will be a great addition.

I actually did this friday.
Took the day off work so I could ride 240 mIles to my selling dealer to have a new fob and key set programed to the bike . I had lost the original set on the way home last September after getting the 1000 mile service. While there I had them look into why the front tire losses air pressure, 20 lbs per week. Let them know it's been doing this sense we got it and all I could find was a bead leak, and the nubs are stuck between the rim and tire.
Well after looking for the leak and not finding any thing they put a new tire on, N/C
I could have gone to the local dealer, same owner, only 30 miles aways, but I have more faith in the Hells Canyon dealer. And it was a great day for a ride.

About a month ago I replaced the SE Compensator and the clutch (Bandit) and planned to be 'done' in the primary for a while. I rode it to work Wednesday and the stator fried...
So last evening I replaced the stator.
Wheeeee! this is soooo fun... somedays, not so much
-
How much oil are you running in the primary? Some of the guys with the Bandit are running low on the oil for the clutch but the compensator does not get enough oil for the long haul. I've already had 5 compensators replaced, so I'm on the 6th one right now. I run the AIM with the VP lock up and run one quart of Belray and so far it has lasted. I had to replace the stator over the winter. In 88,000 miles there isn't much I haven't replaced once or twice, it's a shame one has to replace enough parts that would build another bike just to put some miles on some of our bikes.
You are right about it not being fun to keep doing things over & over! Sounds like you should be set for awhile.

Yes, in light of Bandit's recommendation, I decided to run the low level that they insisted was great for their clutch and they claimed it would be fine for the comp and the stator.
A protracted discussion on another forum took place beforehand and an extension of that is going on now. Suffice it to say that I will be running *more* oil than Bandit recommends from now on. To be fair, the stator was old and tired and the insulation was no doubt somewhat compromised; I can't say the lack of cooling lube actually *caused* the stator immolation, but you can be assured that it didn't help prevent it!
Are you running the "New SE" comp? That's the one I used (in the 42200064A kit)
It *looks* like a much better design than its predecessor.
-
I'm using the new compensator, the previous one that came out with the oiling glue on kit had a one year warranty so when mine failed they gave sent me the new model as a replacement. The sales person told me to just send photos as they had a pile of failed compensators that were replaced as well. I do plan on installing the GMR oiling tray the next time I open the primary, it cant hurt. Since my primary cover was pretty well scratched by a dealer I received a great price on the new primary cover with the oil trays built into it which is standard on the newer models.

Wait, are you saying there's yet another 'new' one since the "new SE 42200064A"?
Part number?
Does it appear different than this?

How is paying anything for a part that the dealership messed up a "great price"? Unless you got it somewhere else or if they took full retail price of the original part off of the upgraded part price.

This one is of the right side. You will have to get a connector and use two arms to be able to get the X-Grip properly positioned. You can use a long arm and a very short one or two standard arms. I also ordered a second ball to go into the reservoir base (note the hole).
If you wanted, you could put the drink holder and the phone on the right side. I'll switch the phone to the horizontal ball when I get it and keep the top ball open for the GoPro on a long arm.
Good Luck!

If I´m sittin on the bike, ridin straight, the bar and the fairing are turned to starboard at about 3 degrees. Just by looking at the bar and fairing, it seems that I ride in a constant right turn ... of course the SG runs straight ahead. my shop said, they´re goin to fix that, but I wonder how, and what causes this effect?

Took delivery of my new FLTRUSE on Saturday. Too cold to ride any further than the dealer to home. Sunday - better. Got in a 75 mile ride including some parking lot time getting used to the new model (had and Ultra Classic previous) and the hydraulic clutch and much heavier bike. Love the RG. It behaved very well on the highway and along the ocean in some gusty winds. Cool enough that the heated seat and grips came in handy ;D.
Spent the rest of the day trying to figure out the GPS upgrade. The postings of others' experience on this forum was a great help. It still took hours and many attempts just to get it the bike to recognize the upgrade. Radio and GPS now upgraded, minor adjustments done (highway pegs, passenger boards etc.), manuals read and of course first waxing. Noting left to do now except ride and ride some more.

Good Idea, I do not even think of that being a possibility. It only took me about ten minutes to put the wires thru and synch them down. I only have one zip tie that you can actually notice, the others are hidden by the mount and just inside the fairing opening for the handlebar. I spent more time on getting the fairing apart and back together than it took to run the wires.

I rode yesterday 500miles dodging rain and hailstorms to the TX hill country to (our 10th annual ) meet up with about 40 friends and today led one of the groups on a ride on 335 & 337, Frio Canyon, the apple pie store, enjoying absolutely perfect weather!

Today I did my 1k service. Replaced the HD SYN 3 with Mobil 1 20W50 VTwin motor oil and Redline Tranny and Primary fluids.
Why? Because I have gotten great results with these in the past on my last two bikes and they work for me. Would never claim they are better but I like the products. Funny but when I was younger I never worried about these things, I just rode em like I stole em and put whatever oil fluids that were handy. Can't remember any issues then either. ;)

I prefer all one color when it comes to exhaust. You can buy just the end caps in chrome, but they are like $150 I think.

Last night I replaced the throttle-side heated grip on my 2016 FLTRUSE. Why? Because I'm a dumbass and dropped the bike to the left.....then did the classic "lifted it too far" and it went over hard. Oopsies. $135 for the single grip.
If anyone ever has to replace their grip on a 2016 FLTRUSE, the electrical connector is inside the grip waaaay at the bottom. The chrome cap on the end pops off so after putting the grip on the bars you can use needle nose pliers to plug in the connector. Took me a while to figure that out since there were no instructions and I don't have the service manual.

Went South West and rode the BRP back up and half way up Skyline Drive over the long weekend. I was surprised that a large chunk of Skyline Drive was burnt from a recent fire.

Well yesterday I was headed home on HWY 305, was just getting back in my lane from passing a logging truck. Just as I was completing the pass at 70 mph I hit a buzzard on the left side of the fairing, then my clutch, mirror and my left hand. My mirrors are not stock and are thin and sharp. Cut the buzzard open good enough to get his guts all over my tour pack speakers, back rest and so on. I little got on my hand but no where else on me.
Sprayed the guts off yesterday. This morning it will get a detailed cleaning and inspection to make sure no damage, but there was noting I saw yesterday.

Today I started the tare down of the exhaust system to replace the pipes damaged in my Tennessee mishap. Hogasm gave me the pipes he had taken off of Kathy's bike. I picked them up in Richmond during Memorial Weekend. I will reuse the mufflers and shark fins from my pipes. I am also replacing the worn out speakers with Hog Tunes replacement speakers and grills, both front and rear. While I have her torn down I will give her a good Dick W cleaning. I need to have her up and running for West Virginia next month. Not doing too much to her until after MV. The unveiling will be at The NMITM in Eureka Springs next June.

Installed S&S Power Tune Duals head pipe this week. Looks good, sounds great - a bit louder than the OEM pipe during WOT (tested extensively - I tried to explain to the wife the next few rides would be a bit louder and aggressive as I'm also using the auto tune feature with the FP3, yet she's not buying it). At idle it's more "throaty" and the exhaust flows evenly through both sides.

Past, Present, Future,
This past winter I had the local dealer put new bars on, on the way home I noticed a small drip, I wasn't sure if it was water or oil. Last week we rode to the Black Hills, on our way out my bike ran out of Dot 4 fluid in the clutch, do to a fitting not getting tight, $320 and 17 hrs later we back on two wheels. Had a great weekend in the Hills.
Took it back to the dealer to get a service done, radio worked on, led light wired. And discuss the leak.
Service manager calls, speakers blown out and amp is bad, ESP will cover,
I've also noticed that by bike runs plenty warm with the new DX pipe and TTS tune, Anybody else have this issue?
The bike should be buttoned up later this week before we leave for a loop through SD, WY, MT, ID, WA, and OR.

Cleaned it. Rode it. About 1 1/2 tanks worth. Wiped it down. Then broke out the tools to accomplish a tough task for both bikes. Broke a sweat. Changing the batteries in the alarm fobs. Beer o'clock now.

Thanks for the reminder on the fob batteries. Bought a new set a few weeks ago, got busy after I got home and never put them in. Going to do, now ...

I try to stay ahead of those stupid things. On my old bikes they last better than they do on the newer ones. But I'd still rather change while they're still working than find myself out somewhere and have to hope I can remember the handlebar method. For me fob batteries are a reminder in my calendar for July every year. So go change yours and earn yourself a beer too :drink: :2vrolijk_21: !
-
Yes! My reminder is Memorial Day (start of summer). So, I bought them around that time, but then promptly forgot to install. ::)

That makes more sense. I should just do them as part of the spring service each year when everything is readied for the year. Oh well, the cold congratulatory beer is better in July than in early spring....

I don't have a key fob. I did change the motor guard and reinstalled the lowers and highway pegs. She is all clean ( including the battery box and battery ), tuned, fluids changed ( including fork oil ), and ready for WV trip. The trailer is waiting to be loaded and hauled to WV. Do I get to have a bourbon?

I think Tommy influenced you in the other thread where he referred to Brian as 103. But then again, as many times as he's changed his name, it's easy to get confused. :confused5:

I just realized I might have had two cite names also. Or at least the same name two different times both before and after I was permanently kicked off the site never to return and banished to hell. Does that count as two names? :huepfenlol2:

Reading the above, I am on my second site name. The first one was one I've carried for years and still use on ebay. It just doesn't fit me anymore.
As for the topic. Today? I'm back on Beauregard for the first time since May 23 when I messed up my bicep. Boy, I sure missed riding. The old adage you don't miss something until it's gone comes to mind. Praise the Lord my healing is near complete so I'm back in the saddle.....WHOOPEE!

1st Oil Change on Maybelle's new Motor, at 1400 miles. Nothing on the plug, but Jody's cuttin' the filter open today, just to see if it contains any foreign objects. Prolly not, but need to know. Went back with 4 qts. of 50W, and 1 1/4 qt. of 60W. Petroleum based, of course. I've always been anal about changing oil. Never have gone over 1500 miles on a Motorsickle. Even change my vehicles at 3000. Blowed plenty of 'em up, but they all had clean oil! :huepfenlol2: :huepfenlol2: Later--HUBBARD

Put a SE Oil Pan on the Ol' Girl. Jody said 6 qts. to fill it the first time... pan, filter, and cooler. I'll run her a little and probably add a little. I never did run one right on the full mark. I like it about 2 dots under full. Another quirk of mine. Later--HUBBARD

Wasn't thinking about the oversized pan. Enough miles on it now that you're comfortable really opening it up?

Haven't put her to the test yet, 2Lane. Ain't had the weather or the time, so far. Took it out on 77 yesterday, to Wytheville and back, to get her hot before Jody changed the oil. Too much traffic, and too may Troopers. Where in the hell is everybody going? I mean, North and Southbound. Thick. I'll stretch her out here in a day or 2. Jody's lap-top said 6100 for 4 seconds, was the highest RPM she'd been to, so far. Later--HUBBARD

Hnhcvo, I really like that look, but how does it handle, compared to Stock? I've heard this and that, but from no one that logged a 1000 miles on a run. It appears it would be somewhat awkward in aggressive riding. I'm talking about 2 Lane twisties. But what do I know? Please advise. Later--HUBBARD

Haha. Your some what correct. A little more work in the corners and have to commit when your coming in hot. Definitely have to be aware of the limits. I just don't ride quite as aggressive. I'm sure you can I just know my personal ability and respect the 1000 pounds under me lol. Honestly though it's smooth and I love it. No problem setting the cruise and sitting back and steering with my ass on the straightaways. I will say in the city it's a lot more work and definitely not as nimble

I cut back the lower vents on my lowers. Boy I sure wish I did this 2years ago. I got rid of a lot of heat on my legs. Much more enjoyable on hot days. I will post a picture tomorrow. I don't know why HDmade the vents the way they did. I get twice as much air thru them now.

Can you explain what you meant by "Cut Back the Lower Vents"? I have a '15 CVO SG and I thought the lower vents open and close. Am I missing something or is yours a different model? Pics?

I think I know what he did and considered it myself; however, it gets cold here in the winter. So, I just remove the doors during the summer: one bolt holds them in place. It takes a little "english" to get the alignment channel off the alignment pin but NBD. I've toyed around with installing screen material over the openings when the doors are removed. My guess is I'd bugger-up the paint on the lowers in the process which is why I've never acted on it.

I remove them as well. I don't like to do something that is permanent. however, in this case, if he does change his mind, the vent doors are only about $17 each. ('old' style, pre 14)
-
Fxd_TD that is what it looks like after the cut back. But if I get into heavy rain I can still close them off by 80%. Which will keep me fairly dry. If it cost $39 to replace, NBD. Getting soaked to the bone on a trip is a PITA. Getting rid of the heat was well worth the time and effort. Just got back from a 225 mile ride in 90* weather and I can tell you it made a very noticeable difference.

We just did a trip to Key West from Atlanta over the 4th of July week and yeah... anything to beat back the heat is a good thing. In addition to removing the vent doors, it finally dawned on me that the finned head bolt bridges were probably hindering the ability of the cylinder heads to shed heat by restricting airflow around the spark plugs / top of the cylinders. Still seeing oil temps in the 260°F range on hot days after just riding along, but that's down from what I was seeing with the bridges installed.

So, these also came off and will likely stay off the bike.

Thanks for the post on this. I was wondering if they help/hindered the cooling of the engine. Now I know. Sounds like some Ward's fans are in my future.
Did you get a thermal pic with them on?

No... just found one of a standard Harley cylinder head which provided me with a big 'aha'.
I'd initially tried to convince myself the add-on "fins" might work as a heat sink, but called B.S. on myself for that.

I went to the shop and uncovered Betsy (04 SEEG) then took her out for a brief but vigous workout, just to make sure she remains in top form. I didn't want her to get jealous over all the attention and riding that Orange Crush has been getting this year.

the vent doors are only about $17 each.
Got a part number?

It just never stops, right? Customizing that is...
Today (more than 8 years after purchasing my dream bike) I finally have the tank badges that I've wanted at least since 2011 when they first came out on the SESG's.
The Duracell came with very nice badges as pictured here
-
However, within the year I changed the badges out (mainly because I thought the red clashed with the copper) for emblems for a V-Rod and added the black paint inside the letters.
I also painted my lowers Black Onyx - the way I always felt they should have come from the factory... just like all other bikes with lowers, matching the lower portion of the main fairing and sides of the front fender.
-
... and finally today I have them just the way I always wanted.
I'm not too sure who was more surprised (me or the parts manager) that these tank emblems were not restricted!

looks like your done, mite as well sell and start again

I can't agree more with the lowers. Makes a huge difference. Nice job.

using the parts finder from st Charles, I got the following:
58889-05 vent, lower (right)
58890-05 vent, lower (left)
showing them to be $14.17 each. don't know if st Charles is a discount dealer or if that is msrp and what you'll find them for at your local.

Excellent; much appreciated. Surdyke has them for $11.xx + $7 shipping, so I might just pick up a pair and do a little experimenting. :2vrolijk_21:

Fxd_TD that is what it looks like after the cut back.
Still wouldn't mind seeing a photo of the cut-out just to see how you cut-back the third arm of the molded-in support bracket. I'm assuming you removed it back to the hub?

So, after being inspired by OBB's hack I ordering some new vent doors from Surdyke and then pulled out my Dremel tool and proceeded to hack-up my existing vent doors.
As mentioned in an early post, I wanted to see if I couldn't come up with a way to add some type of screen to the lower fairing openings to make them less obvious: I opted to use some expanded steel mesh.

I like that Idea a LOT and I happen to have some spare lower vents laying around. I also have a Dremel tool, rivets, and a rivet gun in the tool box.. I might just have to buy me some steel mesh or screen material....

Pretty neat idea. That'll keep the big stuff from flying of the road into you. The vents are different from the ones that were on my '11. Mine didn't have that outer loop on them. What year are those for?

Installed a set of Super Shox after speaking with a couple guys yesterday that have them. I thought the factory "premium" adjustable coil overs shocks were decent. I had no idea how much better the ride could be. Put about 60 miles on the new shocks and after a couple minor adjustments, found the sweet spot for me. Not only is the ride smoother, it handles so much better. With my 21/17 set up, corners at high speed were a little sketchy sometimes.

Dropped it off at the dealer for an oil leak issue and a new compensator. ESP should cover it all.

The agitators or the ones on my '15 aren't much better. It's the damn rotors getting in the way of getting in close to the hub. I pull the rear one during winter hibernation just to make sure it gets a good cleaning and waxing at least once a year.

Took it apart; a little bit.

I left it in the garage and took my Custom Galaxy Glide to the Rough Rider Rally in Las Vegas, NM where it attracted some attention.

Me too! Going to Tilley's to get my new Elites, as soon as I can get away. That is the truth about these dam wheels! I like the way they look, but dam! I use a baby-bottle washer with a rag around it, but still tear my hands up! Ain't there a solid wheel that'll fit the rear? Later--HUBBARD

No MGV. My events are limited this year. Probably just Ocean City, MD., East Coast Sturgis and Colonial Beach VA. to finish out my rally season. I'm slowing down this year. I just put in a S&S 124LC and doing a little local break-in riding. That is like putting a Briggs & Stratton lawn mower engine into a tractor trailer when compared to what your riding! lol. ;D

If I show, it's what I plan to be riding. Not much on racing. I'll open it up but frankly it just gets up to top speed faster. Top speed is still the same unless you change the bottom end, beef it up and change the gear ratios. And I sure don't know how to do that, just read about it and bet it cost just as much as putter the blower on it.

You're right about that, DH! The infamous Buddy Parrot had Tilley put one on his Bike, and he blew the bottom end out of it more than once, before Tilley beefed it up. And that didn't make it bullet-proof, it just lasted a little longer. Buddy Parrot twisted it every time he mounted it! It had like 200HP, I think. That Harley was dangerous! Later--HUBBARD

I can't imagine only getting 6k out of a set of tires. I got over 20k on my stock dunlops and still had plenty of tread. only changed due to cupping.
-
Had a Great Ride down, but got a wet-a$$ from Fancy Gap, all the way home. Had to stop a few times, as it was really pouring. BigLew met me at Tilley's, and we chewed the fat for a couple hours. He rode a ways back with me, but we never got to twist 'em, much. Well hell, none at all, actually. Not that I could do anything with his Motorsickle, anyway, and there was just too much traffic. Then we ran up on Deputy-Dawg, a ways before where Mike turned off to head to Greensboro. Hard to twist 'em like we used to. Never seen so much dam traffic as there is! Everywhere! Gonna' take me a little longer to clean Ol' Maybelle this time. That dam rain looks like somebody poured milk all over the Ol' Girl! A mess, to say the least. Sure am glad I got those cupped out pieces of chit off my Motorsickle. Maggie Valley will be a lot more fun with new rubber! Later--HUBBARD

I had tread left, but it was cupped so bad, it looked like a wash-board. I'm hopin' a new tire will eliminate that high-speed wobble I had. Big Torque is hard on rear tires. Ol' Maudie would only get 4-4500 miles outta' the rear tire. 'Course that was a 16" Tire, too. Everything wears quicker with Big Motors. 'Specially if you like to twist 'em! Later--HUBBARD

Took a little 375 mile loop from Northwest Atlanta to the Nantahala River Gorge for lunch, then to Deals Gap to meet some other folks who joined us for a ride across the Cherohala to Tellico Plains with a short detour to check out the Bald River Falls. We were pleasantly surprised by a new menu and the quality of the food at Buckets & Brews Bistro in Tellico Plains; definitely worth checking out if you're in town and need something to eat. Since it was dark when we headed back to Atlanta we opted to take 411 instead of 68 into Georgia: big mistake. TDOT left a fine coat of crushed gravel along a mile-long section of road way and I'm guessing all of our bikes are now sporting a nice collection of dings and chipped windscreens and headlights: unbelievable. We rolled into the driveway around 11:30pm. A great day other than the TDOT roadwork.

Good deal! Having been through that this year (not neck surgery but out of the saddle for 6 weeks), ain't it great to get back on the horse? You really don't know how much you enjoy this sport until you can't or are restricted from riding. Praise the Lord for your healing and glad your back riding again.... :2vrolijk_21:

Went to grab lunch in Utah 130 mile ride, cruising at 85 mph, into the ride about 40 miles bike started running on one cylinder. Thinking a rod issue is upon me. Bike in the shop motor will be torn down within 24 hours. That's what I did to my CVO today.

Today I saved $400 or so doing my own 10,000 mile service after hitting that mark with a run to the cherohala skyway this past Saturday. It was a great day for riding. It had been 17 years since I rode it last and I live here...go figure. Sure do enjoy working on the bike. Gave Beauregard a good, 2 hour wash and wax, too.
Good news on the 10K service, there was little to no metal on the magnets on any of the three drain plugs. I was fairly pleased with that... ;D

Installed my new Lepera Maverick seat and a Paul Yaffe Stealth III license plate mount on my 16 CVO Street Glide. Really was happy with stock seat but I took the bike to Tennessee on vacation last month and I stayed in a nice cabin up in the mountains. Unfortunately a raccoon climbed up on the bike one night and tore a hole in the driver seat. Got the Lepera cause I wanted a drives backrest.

Got home at 0300 this am from town the bike home from Parsons TN.
I headed out for Bikes Blues and BBQ yesterday morning. Beautiful day, great temperatures. I taking all secondary roads, 280 miles into the trip, there was a loud metallic clank. Then it sounded like the motor was full of ball bearings and making no power. Pulled off immediately. I'm pretty sure it dropped a valve. I was on the 2015 SERGU, with only 42,694 miles on the bike and 12 days out of factory warranty.
Taking it to dealer this morning.

Hate that Dave. I'm still 6 months from factory warranty ending and undecided whether to take the ESP or get a builder to change out some of the worst of the trouble parts. You do put a few more miles on your bikes than many of us but a nearly new bike should not develop major engine trouble in under 50 k miles. I'm only at 16k in the year and half I've had the RGU. Let us know how it goes.

Not exactly today, but had to tale the fender off the BO and send it over to Joe Z to try and stop the 'rust under the clearcoat' situation! :( Joe received it today. So for now I am the proud owner of a CVO BO Bobber!
-
Joe can fix it! If I was you, I'd probably have the fender under coated like he did on mine, and I'd also have him paint 1/8" around the hole black to match the black. The problem with the fender is the insert for the seat screw moves and breaks the clear exposing the bare metal. If it was painted just a little bit, you wouldn't have to problem come back. Or.....fill the hole!

I personally know another 2015 SERGU that had motor replaced at around 33K miles. I know another that had a lifter issue at 40K miles and now mine, all 15's.
I friend I road to CA with Summer of 15 had the lifer go in his 14 CVO limited at 21K miles.
Seems its the 110's with the issues, not the 96" and 103" motors.
Bad news for sure, Dave. Keep us posted.
I will keep y'all posted.
At dealer now being torn down. I have a great relationship with service manager, general manager and owner.

Sorry to read, Dave. Lost my rear lifter just before 15K miles. Tech told me he went through the motor and bike. All has been well for 8K. Fingers crossed. Good luck with yours.

Hmmm....not a bad idea! Although the rust was not connected to the whole at all. In fact the area under the skull was clean and clear.

Well the motor is being replaced. It was not a dropped valve, but rather a lifter which took out lots of other stuff.
Been riding the CVO King the last couple days back and forth to see about the CVO RG Ultra. Will ride the king again today. Thank God for two bikes.

Do you have to go back with stock or are you modifying it a bit? Did the factory warranty cover it even though you were just a day or so out? I'm with you on the extra bike deal...sure it nice having that option.

Sounds exactly like my situation on 8/31/16, should be picking up the bike today. My bike however had 83,696 miles on it, all original (2009 FLTRSE3) the lifter imploded and I had to wait for engine cases for a complete rebuild under the ESP. The ESP bill is in excess of 6300. according to ESP.

Did a 250 round trip to Macon, GA, from 10:30am to 1:30am to meet up with a friend to be his wingman on the final leg of his BurnBurner GOLD 1,500 mi / 24 hour ride that began at 2:00am EST on Friday.
Let's just say his 2016 Road Glide CVO has been racking up some miles over the past month... Don't believe he's on the forum, but an epic ride just the same: Atlanta to Memphis to New Orleans to Lake City and then back to Atlanta in under 24 hours.

The 114 is really nice. 100 percent stock it out performs the 110 in my old SERGU with pipes, and a good dyno tune by Doc. Very smooth motor and very good torque.
Yes I miss the fixed fairing, especially over 80mph and at slow speed parking lot stuff. I feel a bit clausterfobic on the batwing, every thin is right there on my lap.
New front suspension is also a very big improvement.
I put just over 300 miles on her yesterday.

Road the CVO King home from dealer where I left it when I picked up the 17, took a few twisty roads on the way home.
Washed the 17 and installed some hwy pegs. Hope to ride it some more today.

Finally got the cupped up, noise making POS stock tire off the rear of Orange Crush. Replaced with American Elite. Didn't know how screwed up the stock tire was until riding home on the fresh one, SMOOTH!!!
Supposed to have another add on in my hand tomorrow...will post pictures when installed...

Just installed American Elite 2nd gen. Great ride. Like a new bike after the cup stock Dunlops. I hope they don't cup in 8K miles this time. Billy

What caused the cupping?, there must be a reason the tire cupped.

Yeah, I strongly agree, much better than Harley's Duncraps! These tires OEM Dunlops crack and cup. The Dunlop AE's are a much better tire. :2vrolijk_21:

At this rate you will be able to be the first to give this Group the first impression of the 2018 CVO Road Glide Ultra, because this bike will have to many miles on it to keep.

Dang if I know. It started howling at around 5000 miles and I always checked the pressure keeping it at 40 PSI. By 6000 miles I had enough, but tires were on back order through Drag...Came off backorder and replaced at 9300 miles.

Was it the front tire on the CVO Road King?

Just a design flaw is what Dunlop tells me. Can't be helped. riding in a straight line is bad as it moves the tread and I wears on the side. . MY 07 SERK was worse s I thought maybe it was the radial rear tire. The 14 SERK lasts longer and did not howl as bad as the 07/ Never had a front cup. Billy

You said you pulled the radio. Are you replacing it with something else or just have to remove it to get to the other stuff?

The reason I ask, the only tire I have ever cupped was on my 2007 CVO Road King and it was the first front tire. Back then all the Road King CVO's in my area were cupping per my dealer, thus, my dealer was breaking down the front ends of the motorcycles including forks rebuilding them with new seals after inspecting all the components along with replacing the steering bearing and adjusting it properly.(my mechanic said it came crappy from the factory) After that I never had cupping on the stock Dunlops.

Now that you say that, I remember reading that you said you were sending it to J&M instead of having the dealer do it so that way you're not taking any chances on it being done incorrectly.

I really really like it Phil.
With the windshield I had on before at 80mph, like we was running on the BRPY a couple weeks ago, I would get a jiggle in my glasses that made seeing a little iffy. With this fairing and the flared shield, I now sit in a very stable bubble of air without any glasses jiggle at all.
Plus I think it really added a unique look to the sickle.
Only downside is I'm gonna have to move the signal lights. I've already located the stuff to move them down to the lower mount just gotta get time to move em.

They will be black to match the current ones. The parts I've acquired are from a 2012 strretglide (non- Canbus) and they are gonna be epoxy painted, then we will pull my lights off with wires and install the guts into the street glide turn signals, then put it all together.

Mike I'll tell you something else you might consider. When I added the fairing to my 07 CVORG I ended up Tweaking the forks because of the added weight. You might consider heavier oil or different springs.

Yesterday out riding, when I stopped to get something out of the right saddle bag on the 17. Found the new and improved bag fastener that screws in laying in the bottom of the bag. Could not get it to screw in and catch for the life of me.
Figured out the reason, the right side of the bike had the old style wire clips so nothing for the screw fasteners to screw into.
Had dealer fix it.
I see Harley Quality control is still lacking at the factory.

So the screw was never in? Not trying to be a dick here, but I would have thought that the dealer or you would have caught that while checking out the bags at the dealership or you while putting stuff into the bag? It was probably in the hole, but not threaded in.
I lost my left bag on my '09 SERG a few years ago. The 1/4-turn pins were bent and still inside the bag when I got it back from someone that picked it up. I rode home with my hands almost always on my saddle bags. I've now gone to the J nuts and bolts, but I still check them out every ride to make sure they're snug. At $1,725 for a new bag, I take precautions now just in case.
-
Dave, I had one amber turn lens and three smoked lens on my '15 when delivered. Did not notice it till I got home and prepping to put CD led's on it. While I'm sure selling dealer would have fixed it, it was easier to pick a lens up at a closer dealer and fix it myself than ride 50 miles round trip to get it fixed. Guess that's what happens when assembly lines are combined.

Dave take the bag off and look at it under a good magnified light to make sure there are #1 no very, very fine cracks in the paint and #2 any chafing removed the clear-coat / damaged the paint due to the vibration and movement of a non secured hardbag. Same exact thing happened to me in 2002 with my 2001 RoadGlide, dealer did service didn't attach one of the pins one bag chafed on the ride home, dealer ordered new bag from Harley Paint Shop and replaced it.

When looking at the bike, I did check the screws on the left bag, threaded one all the way out and back in. Thought wow, a nice improvement. Also thought they will take up some luggage space. I did hit the rear one on the right bag putting rain gear and stuff in, it felt secure. The front looked fine. The bags never wiggled or moved.
The new bag pins are suppose to fix the old issue. But it does not work if half the hardware is the old style with nothing for the new treaded pins to screw into.

Finally got around to doing something Friday I've wanted to do a long time. Got up early and rode the Natchez Trace from Loveless Café in Nashville all the way to Natchez and on to Alexandria to visit friends. Its pretty right now with leaves beginning to turn. Trace is 444 miles with 50 mph speed limit most of the way. Did find south of Tupelo most people were going well over the speed limit. Wanted to do this before the days get too short to finish before dark as wildlife is common on the road then.

Well pipes (Rineharts) are on, and tune is done (direct link), and dyno'd. Got 92.65 HP and 114.7 TQ. Decatted head pipe, pipes and tuner, otherwise bone stock performance wise. Pretty impressed, I don't get the crackling and popping on decal any more. Seems to roll on to the highway a little nicer too. Didn't get too much of a ride in as the weather in BC is the chits for the next while, but I'll get out there whenever it dries out next.

Yep. Later--HUBBARD

I'm guessing HUBBARD has a fuel leak of sorts, time to start with the most simple; the connection from the tank and go from there.

You sure it's not just the exhaust? May just be running a bit rich on a cold start.
I agree with Gary. Leave her "off" unless you're going for a ride. :2vrolijk_21:

I had to start the Wife's FLD to move it up the ramp into the 'bike annex'.......I let it warm up and revved it a few times....moved it up the ramp and shut 'er down. Had one garage door open while it was running ....and it still stunk like gas for when I went back out.......so I opened both doors and aired it out good.
-
I am guessing HUBBARD has done this same exact thing many times in the past under the same conditions and not encountered this problem, thus, this is why he has brought it to our attention.
I have a Handy motorcycle lift I run my motorcycle for 30 minutes sometimes and I don't have a strong smell of un-burnt fuel / straight fuel. I have never encountered the smell of straight fuel unless it overflowed during the filling process and I believe this is the type of odor HUBBARD is referring to.
However, I could be totally wrong.

I've had the same thing the ood time. When I've been out and come back and don't put the bike in the garage it may sit in the driveway for the day. Then when I do put it in l have to fire it up( as l can't push it in ) once I'm in l let it run for a few minutes then shut it off. That's when I smell gas as well, it doesn't happen often but it does happen.
I put it down to at the moment the motor is shut down and the pots not being as hot that an exhaust valve is open and it's the gas vapor from that pot coming out of the tail pipe that you smell.
If it happens again give a smell at the tail pipes you'll most likely smell it to be the strongest there. The same thing goes for the intake the small could be strongest at the air filter.
If you do have a concern of a leak but can't see a leak look for a white ring like stain . Gas that has been vaporised on a hot metal can leave a stain.

Did a little upgrade today. I removed the stupid little straight grease nipple for the yoke steering bearings that you can't get onto for greasing the bearings,..not with out removing other things to access it. Simple solution l installed a 45 angle fitting. Why a straight is used in the first place :nixweiss:
-
Yep. Later--HUBBARD
Most likely suspect is the O-ring in the fuel quick-connect on the bottom of the tank. This can drip raw gas onto the rear head, where it will rapidly evaporate, effectively hiding the evidence.
Fold a paper towel and stick it into the fins of the head, look for staining and stink on the towel.

Getting Blue II ready for the ride down to Panama City Beach on Thursday morning. We'll leave around 6:00am Eastern Standard and should be at Sharky's for lunch at the Tiki bar shortly after 11:00am Central Time.
I also swapped out the 2.4 oz expanded aluminum "screen door inserts" on our lower's wind deflector doors with .4 oz aluminum mesh material. The expanded aluminum was just too heavy and caused the doors to vibrate too much: expecting the very light mesh to be about as good as it's going to get. Still need to put down a bead of RTV sealant or black hot melt glue around the wire mesh perimeter to bond it to the door / eliminate metal on plastic virbration.

Glad you got to ride some Gary, gonna be even warmer tomorrow.
I got to ride a little this afternoon too. I found that the Memphis shades fairing was not Hillbilly Rocket Rider rated. I had changed the angle of it a bit a week or so ago, to make it look more like the way the regular fairings do, because apparently when I originally mounted it I had it kind of laying back too much. Well everything went good up til 100 MPH at which point I noticed that the fairing was migrating back to its original laid back position. LOL
I guess when I tightened the bolts in the adjustable bracket, I didn't get them tight enough and the force pushed it back. No harm no foul, and after a readjustment with additional tightening all seems good. I plan to try it again tomorrow.

Did the Fullsac 2.25 baffles on my 17 SERG and took a short ride. Sounds is a bit deeper but not much louder at all. Tells me this cat is really holding back a lot.
Plan to wash her this morning and ride over to Smoky Mountain HD for a bit.

Picked up some oil and a filter, hope to have a little riding time this weekend and be able to change the oil.

Changed my oil yesterday, 1130 miles. Changed the windshield trim out today. Went from chrome to black. The chrome just looked out of place to me. Before and after pics below.

Looks great with the black trim! Much better than the chrome on your bike.

I put a J&M handlebar CB on the RK before Maggie Valley but I couldn't stand the headset pigtail hanging out from the seat so I bought a Harley plug from the dealer and did some rewiring and installed it in my console. I think it looks much better!

I had mine picked up and sent back to my dealer for 12" bars and Stage 2 audio install.
I should get it back when I arrive home Thursday or Friday. Then doing an Iron Butt ride and knocking down 1500 miles in under 24 hours.

Installed my radio head unit that I just got back from Iron Cross Audio. Can't say enough good things about them. They had my radio fixed and back to me in less than two weeks. And Kudos to this forum since this is where I learned about Iron Cross. Now, I just need to get some of that warm weather back. Bottom fell out last night and am feeling a good blast of winter wind here in Iowa.

Sad to say i cleaned the bike and put it up for the winter, snow flying here soon which means salt and chemicals on the roads till spring.

Saturday I put a Klock Werks 6" shield on my 17 CVO Street Glide. Looks good, lifts the air a bit more than the factory shield. Unfortunately it was to cold to test with the half helmet. I did manage a nice 215 mile ride along the Ocoee and the mountains. It was a nice 30 degrees out and clear. Should be able to get a good test on the windshield in FL at Christmas.

Installed a Cree LED headlight bulb. Thought I would have to do a bit of rewire but it was a straight plug&play :2vrolijk_21:

One house we built I wanted a floor drain and found out they were not allowed.....I put one in the middle of the garage and spray foamed it in and poured right over it....after 'occupancy' was given tapped the concrete and dug the foam away.
-
The reason for no floor drain is that if gas were to leak under the slab you would have one giant bomb. Billy
-
That is not the reason. (It might be your reason if you frequently have gas spills) but as far as reasoning for drains in residential areas that's not it.

Yesterday I updated the radio software. I was unable to get it to update the dealer locations. Rode it 140 miles yesterday and the software seems ok. Will ride to Key West next week so it will be a good test.
Today I again tried to update the dealer locations. Could not get it to work. Keep getting a Navsysc Error.

Today I again tried to update the dealer locations. Could not get it to work. Keep getting a Navsysc Error.
After successfully installing software ver 1.20.3 I cleaned the thumb drive and extracted the dealer location zip files and placed them on the root directory. Nothing happens. . . I'm also looking for some help with the installation process for the dealer locations upgrade.
-
GullGuy, what files do you have showing in the root directory of the USB file?
-
GullGuy, what files do you have showing in the root directory of the USB file?
Once I extract the downloaded zip file I end up with one folder named [nng] and one file named [swdl.iso] on the root directory. Contained in the nng folder are some folders, subfolders and files. I even tried removing every file in every folder and subfolder and placing all files on the root. Nothing happens. I'm obviously doing something wrong but I can't figure out what that might be.
I am assuming that, as with the updates, the radio should recognize the update on the thumb drive and perform the installation automatically. Yes?
-
Well, the only recommendation I can offer is to start fresh using the following steps...
- Reformat the USB stick using FAT32 format
- Download the Dealer Location Update from H-D site to your computer (not the USB drive)
- Unzip the zip file: Harley_POI_Maps
- Open the folder: Harley_POI_Maps
- Copy BOTH the nng folder and swdl disc image file (swdl.iso) to your USB drive
- Turn on your Infotainment system (using Accessory or turning the switch on)
- Once you accept the Warning screen, plug in the USB drive and it will load into your Infortainment system the same as the system update
No other files (e.g. zip file or other folders) should be in the root directory of the USB drive and all the sub-folders and files should remain in the nng folder. The update software is extremely picky on this point! Good luck!
-
. . . No other files (e.g. zip file or other folders) should be in the root directory of the USB drive . . . Good luck!

Rode my 2017 CVO Street glide over to SMHD for the 10,000 service after 4 months of ownership. They had a new speedometer on order for it due to something on the glass, on the inside. Other than that no issues on it so far.
Today plan to ride down to GA to get lunch at a Cajun joint. Looks to be in the 20's when I head out with a high of 45.

Hey Cecil, is that all you did? Did you replace the faring as well as the tour pac speakers with Focal? How much of an improvement vs. the stock stage II Boom? I'm guessing much better.
Warranty runs out end of July this year and I plan to start doing some different things...speakers were on that list.

Put the CVO's title in the safe that arrived in the mail today. Paid in full!!
That is a very good milestone! Congratulations. 42 more payments and Beauregard is mine, too (or sooner if I hit the Lottery)..... :huepfenlol2: :drink: ;D :2vrolijk_21:

I found that at highway speeds I could not here it very well with stock speakers. Base tends to get blown away with speed. The focals have a bit more highs that made it much better at speed.
Only mod I made was to the boxes. Had to cut out just a bit for the magnet.
I left the rears boom speakers for now. Good base in rear and better tweets up front.
A big improvement going down the road.
I have focals and arc audio amp on my 11 RG. it will push a lot more volume and is very very clear. May go that route someday on this one but for now this made the difference I was looking for and it's pretty impressive

Mod the boxes. You didn't happen to take any pictures, did you?
Glad it was a big improvement and you are happy with the change.

Since buying mine last month (it was an auction bike ?repo?), I have reordered the TourPak (still waiting on parts to arrive), installed the chrome boot/exhaust protector, and installed the garage door receive in the overhead of the garage and programmed it with the hi/lo beams...Snow and ice preventing much more than that.

No I sure didn't. I thought last night I should have and posted it. I can tell you I cut a slot just above the foam pad about an 1" x 2.5". Then covered it with gorilla tape. The magnets don't protrude much.

Made a dinner run with the wife and tested out a new .gpx file on the BoomBox. This route was devised using the myrouteapp (formerly Tyre) free on-line mapping program.
I was beginning to thing that getting the BB to regurgitate a map verbatim just like we wrote it (using whichever software we used), would never come to pass.
But now I think I may have actually figured out a key secret to forcing the BB to behave and give us back the route we originally created.
And let's face it...since HD is useless in helping us, we're going to have to figure this out for ourselves.
I want to do more research and be more confident I've found a solution, but I will share the results when I feel better about my findings.

Put new tags on the 2003 Fatboy, 13 CVO King and 17 CVO Street Glide. This is the only time I do not like the Yaffe Stealth III plate frame as you must remove it from the bike, take it a part, put decal on, the reassemble and install. Its a pain.

Installed new LRS windshield and put about 100 miles on today. Did t have a lot of time to ride. Only home for the weekend and needed to do honey do list as well. At least got my February ride in.
-
Mocked up some new bits for the Road King. Even more things that if someone looks close will see it's not like any other and if they don't know or don't look close will think it just looks cool. Then had a nice little ride with friends to dinner then after that an almost equally nice ride in to the rising full moon on a 68 degree February night. In another words a damn near perfect day with the bike.

Installed a Mustang seat, a 10 inch wind splitter, and ordered a 117 stage 3 kit.

I'll be going with two brothers exhaust in black. Since I'm up in Canada I still have at least another month or two to do some changes and finally ride.

Added new floorboards couldn't handle the rubber isolation floppy ones. Plus it gained almost an in drop. and build a toe only shifter and and spaced the left board out to match the right with the vanc&hines spacer.

Just wondering why you wouldn't go with http://heatdemon.com/products/motorcycle-grip-heater-kit-for-harley-with-four-level-controller
and then use any style grip you wish?
:nixweiss:
I installed them on my wife's Ultra and they work way better than my stock CVO grips... Their controller is easier to operate and they heat up faster and stay warmer.
Once I'm out of warranty next year, if mine break for a 4th time, I'll be going with Heat Demons for sure.
Oh yeah, Heat Demons are less expensive as well! :2vrolijk_21:

I didn't go with the kit. I purchased just the cylinders. I used the CP 11.4 compression pistons, heads by HD Street Performance, HPI 55mm throttle body, 5.3 injectors, Woods TW9B-6 cams, Jackpot 2-1-2 headpipe and 4" Rinehart mufflers.
It's been running great. I have about 9,000 miles on the 117 now with no problems. Great power and torque.

I spent a rainy, lazy Sunday replacing an annoyingly sketchy power socket. The power outlet in the Tourpak has (for years) been stupid unreliable. I don't use it often and when I do, I'm reminded that whatever you plug into it will randomly have or not have power. I would plug in my phone to charge while I rode and it would be charging when I started and charging when I stopped, but it didn't charge while riding(!). Wiggle the plug and it would blink. One of those annoying things that was never important enough to chase. Well, I finally got around to it. Took it apart to learn the cause, (surprised by shoddy build) replaced it with a better unit, included USB ports, LED indicator and wired it 'hot' all the time.
This is the factory installed power outlet in the Tourpak and it is a really crap design. After seeing it apart, I would strongly advise AGAINST just replacing with a new one of the same (Harley) source. I'm actually surprised that these aren't causing fires. Anyway, found a better-built piece at WalMart which included USBs. I made a little bracket and it worked out pretty slick. While in there, I installed the Anderson Tourpak bracket. It passed the rainy day perfectly.

I had to make that decision as well. I think they both look good. I opted to go with the one that closely matched the original 110 cover. I'm sure you'll be pleased with your choice.

You are welcome. Looks good.
Well I had to replace the battery in the 13 CVO King. It was the original and bike is always on a tender. Got done with that, removed the stock shocks and installed Ohlin HD-159 shocks, an inch taller. Then I took her out for a 200 mile ride. Rides much better, need to do the front end with Ohlin......

Finished up a couple of winter projects.
Installed Paul Yaffe 10 inch Monkey bars and a 2017 fuel tank console on my 2012 CVO Street Glide. The bars went in without any problems, both hydraulic lines and wiring did not need to be lengthened. Only had to relocate the left handle bar molex connector in the fairing from in front of the speaker to underneath the speaker.
Thought I would miss the bat wing fairing mirrors but was surprised to find out how much better the mirrors are when mounted on the bars.
The 2017 insert for the fuel tank console is much darker, almost black as compared with model years 2105 and 2016 which is silver/grey in color.

Dennis,
What is the instrument on the left handlebar that has a gage of some sort on it?
Also, were you able to use the stock hydraulic clutch and break cables and did you have to relocate them?
BTW, really nice looking scoot.

The gauge on the left bar is my oil temperature gauge, no room for it in the fairing .
I did not have to remove either hydraulic lines or relocate them, 10 inch Yaffe bars are the limit on the 2012 CVO Street Glides for non removal , any taller and you will need longer hydraulic lines.
-
Thanks for the info.
I think 10" Yaffi's are really closer to 12" rise and 12" Khrome Werks is what I'm going to install on my 2013 SEUC8.
I may get away with not having to replace the clutch and break lines.

I felt similarly after switching to Dunlop American Elite's. That being said .....most any new tires (even stockers) feel that way at first :P!
Just had Premium Ride Touring Cartridge Front Fork Kit installed to match the Premium Ride rears I'd installed recently. The bike feels more surefooted now :2vrolijk_21:! Glad I opted to have my dealer do the front installation as they had troubles because of an outdated set of instructions which came with the kit :(.

Got it out for a nice ride.....Finally got a decent day here in the northeast. :bananarock:

Took Susie for her 1st bike ride of the year. In fact it might be the first ride in 2 years. :o

Took the 11.5 out for a ride to the local dealer to meet the official HD demo fleet, the 11.5 wasn't all that impressed, as she's a rather confident machine and probably knew it would be a foolish endeavor to compare her to any of the new '17's ::)
We took demo rides on the '17 limited, the CVO Limited, Road Glide Ultra, CVO Street Glide, and one that's always fun to ride, the Tri-Glide. While I was impressed with the 114" in the CVO offerings and the Street Glide is a bit of a hot rod to ride - especially considering the fact that my wife stayed behind and I rode that one solo. Actually the CVO street Glide reminded me a little of my '01 Fatboy in the hot rod department except the Street Glide has a fairing and stereo. The new faring on the Rod glide is very much improved from the last time we rode one back in (I think) 2012, with very little wind buffeting at speed. The newfangled infotainment system would take some getting used to with the strange( to me) joystick controls, it's to dang easy to make an erroneous choice with them things...
All in all, I still straddled my 11.5 at the end of the demo ride and said "ahhh it's good to be home". Don't misunderstand, the new bikes are quiet(engine noise wise), smooth and have plenty of power, just isn't enough there for me to make a switch.
After the demos the wife and I took the egotistical 11.5 out for a ride to get something to eat and brought it back home to park it in it's rightful place, right next to the Fatboy and Ducati, A good day was had by all indeed.

Picked up this little unit the other day it has a built in charger on it with an on off switch built in as well. l hard wired it to the power supply from the two extra 12v supply wires on the headlight harness. It holds my phone and satnav it's of metal construction and black powder coated instead of the usual plastic construction units that are out there.

Did you install larger rear view mirrors to better scope out the CHP on the 101? I do understand your need to arrive sooner and do the Van-turnaround in a shorter period of time. My hero!

Had to drop mine off at the stealer for service. The RG has been under the weather and stalling, random RPM spikes at idle and I feel like its surging going down the road. Hope it's an easy/somewhat cheap fix. Just hope its fixed before next weekend's Laughlin River Run.

I changed out my ac from the heavy breather with compact filter to the ventilator with the black elite cover. I think it came out pretty good. I just got tired of the front of the filter being 1/4'' from the magnetic door on the lower.

and I did a little minor surgery on my fullsac baffles so that I could install the short slash up/down exhaust tips. the hole through the tip was not quite big enough for the baffle to pass through so I had to cut it off so that the baffle would end just on the backside of the plate. I'm pretty happy with it.

Both of mine got batteries this spring too. In a way was nice to think that the home brewed Road King had now been around long enough to actually need a regular maintenance item like a battery. It had begun to struggle a bit so was also time before it made me walk. It and the Road Glide's battery were both the same age. Both had been in service three years. So, crap, two new batteries. Now all is happy and spinny again.

I took two videos after doing the wife's bike before I did mine. These bikes have completely stock engines and exhaust. The only change is the Full Sac cores on her bike for these videos:
The first one is a longer one that includes the startups:

I clicked off about 150 miles (mostly riding to class at the dealership), order a metric ton of parts, and perfected 18' u-turns on it - since it is still basically new to me I needed to practice with it a little bit. It's different than my old ride.
Ordered:
- color matched tour pak
- handlebar switch wiring extensions and new risers for new bars
- backrest from Bad Boyz MC
- footboard extenders
- service manuals

You are so right. I guess Amazon is the new WalMart now, huh? I spend way too much on Amazon, although I've noticed that they've begun to add state taxes on to my purchases. Still, I can do a fair amount of research on the product and see if there's some other reputable seller out there who still offers free shipping and no state tax. Thanks, Howard!

Had tappets replaced by an Indy just before MIM with S&S and SE adjustable pushrods. They were making such a racket during the 2000 mile round trip to ES that I decided to redo the pushrod adjustment to the S&S recommended preload. Much quieter now. I suspect the Indy who was prior HD tech adjusted to 0.10 preload. Stock lifters looked very good when pulled at 20 k miles.

I sure hope so Jock! I really don't have any issue with the stock seat and have ridden on it for many hours at a time, but it developed a tear from so many mount/dismounts were my boot dragged across the saddle - I'm short-legged <g>... Doesn't appear anyone can or will re-cover a Hammock saddle after checking around, so rather than buy a new version of the same, went with Corbin after a lot of research. Had it customized a bit and with heat it's probably four weeks out on delivery.

Have been finding that "first one then the other plan" to work really well Jock. It keeps the bikes happy. It's bad when one of your bikes gets jealous.
This morning took the Road King about 35 miles to get to a breakfast spot a couple miles from the house. This evening the Road Glide will ride to a taco shack at a lake. It'll be 100 mile round trip. Tomorrow? Rinse and repeat. :2vrolijk_21:

Thank you. Rode for about 325 miles on Sunday, all types of conditions - mountain passes, country roads, interstate, etc.
It's very smooth and I'm pleased with the results. I do believe the S&S crankshaft in the bottom end contributes greatly to the satisfactory results.

Picked it up today. They put 25 miles on it in 80* degree heat and couldn't get it to come back on. Fans are working as they should. Might have been a burp in the coolant as my tech said he had to add a little last week during the 20K service.

yesterday, met up with serdvd6 and his little lady and rode down to Hocking Hills, Ohio to meet up with Maczter and a few other buddies from the Dayton area for lunch. We ended up with 325 miles for the day. Great weather and nice roads. Well, the tar snakes on the one leg got a little interesting but we just slowed the bikes down a little.

Took best radical and best of show in a regional event this weekend. Pretty happy the motorcycle community digs my build

I drug my 2004 Huckleberry out, started her up, and rode it around Princeton a little. Then I got to feeling bad because I have been neglecting her since acquiring the Road King so I gave her a good bath and shined her up a little. The old girl still looks pretty darn good....

So how long before you send Corbin the passenger backrest to get it stitched to match?
Already contacted them about it Twolanerider. No great hurry but I'd like to get this done. Didn't go with the Corbin version because it utilizes a single center-line post. I like to tie off my camera gear in the passenger seat and the H-D version has a double support - very rigid. Should have thought to send the backrest in immediately, but didn't know how all this would work out.
On the same topic I'd comment that I really like this saddle. I put off making the change for several reasons, two being I read the Corbin version can sometimes be a bit higher and push the rider back - didn't want either of these changes. I was concerned about spending that much cash and finding out I didn't like it. I feel like this saddle was designed for me and am pleased with the riding position change and saddle/ground distance. Any of you that may be a touch vertically challenged as I was on the stock seat, I'd recommend going this route - I should have done this several years ago.

I will agree with you on the comfort. I've put many a mile on Corbin saddles back in the 90's on two different bikes. Loved the ride and all day comfort. If I were not happy with the stock saddle on Beauregard, I would be "saddling up" to a Corbin again.

I have to admit I was leery at first because I just found them on the internet and had no references from anyone I knew, especially when they told me they were running on a 3-4 week turn around.. The paint on the fender was sooooo important, I didn't know if they, or anyone, could do the job I wanted that quickly. It actually took them 5 weeks to get the fender back to me and they apologized for taking so long. I dealt with two different women there during the process and they were both terrific to deal with. I will absolutely use them again!!
-
Nothing to it; yet. Did go to a local powder coat shop and pick up some pieces had dropped off a couple weeks ago. Several other small parts but these will be the jewels. For the old Road Glide. She's going to get a top end job after years of stellar service.
It's a color called Illusion Malbec (I don't know where the name comes from either). It's a really good match to the Midnight Red that is the predominant color on the bike. Did a set of calipers as a test run back in May to see if I'd like it. Very pleased so sent several other parts to finish things out.
Wish the pics showed the flake in the color. It shows, barely. Looks so much better in person in the sunlight though. Cylinders and heads will now get diamond cut as the next step in the process. Hopefully by the new year break will have everything done and back in hand to install it all.
(gotta love having spare parts around to do this stuff with)

I put it to wonderful use on a special ride...
A few years back my aunt turned 90 and I suggested that she might enjoy a ride on my Harley. Being the energetic person that she is, she jumped at the chance to have her first ever ride on a motorcycle in her life! So a took a few others with me and off we went on a short 10 minute ride with her and 4 or 5 other riders.
She enjoyed it so much that every year since she kept asking when I was coming back for her next ride. Last year she claimed she was getting old and I had better hurry.
With her turning 95 last month I figured it was time to do it again and phoned to ensure she was still up for it. To no surprise at all, she was and could hardly wait. This time I decided to give her a real big thrill and invited a few more to join in the fun. We blew Aunt Annie away when we showed up with 23 riders and this time the ride lasted 40 minutes, and she now is looking forward to the next ride.
We all made a deal with her that we would bring back 100 riders for her next ride on her 100th birthday!
Aunt Annie (dressed in red in photo) is a true inspiration to us all - still lives alone in her own home and drives her own car at 95! Every Thursday she picks up my 90 hear old Aunt Ruth (to the left of Annie in photo) and off to the casino they go.

or you could just use the one rocker with the most miles on it. It could be (correctly) assumed that if you had a 300,000 mile patch, that you've also ridden 250,000 200,000 etc....

I put a nice 260 miles on her yesterday after the new shield and back rest. Looks like rain today so I have a few projects to do on the bike.

Here is the delivery picture.

Rainy day yesterday. So I Installed the garage door opener, and I installed the CB. The CB will require the WHIM interface cable thats about 50 dollars so it will transmit from the wireless head set. It receives just fine, and radio recognized the addition right away.
Next I installed the 4 point quick detach hard ware. I also went on and removed the passenger foot pegs and mounts, and plugged the holes. I then installed the short angle hwy peg mounts. When I went to put the foot pegs in them, I found both sided the allen bolt was stripped, it had pulled the aluminum onto the bolt threads. Really upset me after measuring every thing to get them set up exactly the same. So those go back to dealer today.
Last project was to install the Yaffe Stealth III black plate frame. Well, didn't get that done either. Seems that the 7/8 nut that holds the black plastic cover over the plug and bolts inside the fender turns and turns but does not come loose.
-
Well I put another 140 miles on her yesterday, for a total of 526 miles. I also put on the Yaffe Stealth III plate frame.
-
I also removed the passenger foot pegs and mounted them on some short angle hwy pegs. Hope to ride a hundred miles today, before I go back off shore for 3 long weeks of work.

You know, if you don't want to keep it on a battery tender and your wife doesn't want to ride it while you are away, I can make some room in my garage and "store" it for you....I'd even ride it a bit just to keep the battery charged and fluids warm 'til you return..... ;D ::) :huepfenjump3: :bananarock: :huepfenlol2: :2vrolijk_21:

I finally got tired of fearing the worst with the lifters in Orange Crush and decided to have the stock lifters replaced with S&S units. While I was at it I installed a set of Rockouts. This particular 110 engine was one of the quiet ones but there were witness marks on one rocker shaft. The Lockouts seam to have quietened it even further. The stock lifters at 12000 miles looked perfect by the way, no scoring of any type on lifters or cam.... ;D

Grin still in place but update is the thing runs great. I would have done this sooner but was waiting for the warranty to expire. I'm still pleased with the Fuel Pac 3 (FP3) choice and glad I went the less expensive route (again) of removing the catalyst out of the stock header.

Cleaned the air filter on the rental... man those things get dirty after 19k miles :nixweiss:

Hey Haird, wise choice did you notice any difference in the sound now that the cats have been removed. Bet you feel the difference in heat as well.
-

Not that much louder but that's not really what I was wanting. Having done this on past bikes (mine and others), I knew what to expect using the stock SE mufflers with the plugs removed. It does have a bit of a bark to it but cruising and steady highway speeds are still comfortable sound wise.
The heat is reduced significantly as you would expect. I am really enjoying the FP3, too. It's so easy to use. If I had chosen much more motor work, I would have taken the TTS route, however. I was looking for inexpensive, better running, less heat and a bit more sound....mission accomplished.

With the cat out do you get any at all pop or crack out of it I was thinking about doing the same thing but was also going to ceramic coat the pipe and leave every thing else stock [air cleaner & mufflers.

If it's tuned correctly there should be no to very little decel popping. If it was still stock tune wise with this setup, lots of backfire decel pop.
I'm not sure the ceramic coating buys you anything with the decatted stock header but hey, what do I know. I ain't never done the ceramic deal... ;D

Something wrong there for sure. Will wait to hear the outcome. Hope it gets resolved for you soon.

Apparently the "what I did to it today" entry is screwed up the transmission. Probably the shift drum.... Nartz.

Didnt we just talk transmissions a few days ago. Not good
-

Didn't think of that Van but we did. Wonder if I jinxed something?
Don't think it's too bad though. Haven't pulled the top cover yet but suspect I've done something to the shift pawl or perhaps a problem in the drum. Upshifts are fine. Down from 5 to 4 and from 4-3 are fine too. 3-2 ok sometimes. 2-1 less often. When it doesn't shift down it stays in the higher gear but the shift pedal feels the same as it does on a false neutral; all the way to the floor and nothing happens.
Was a little hairy first time it did it though. I was playing on some country roads a bit and really needed to down shift :oops: .
That's ok, that's what the Travel Gods invented back brakes for....
Oh yeah, it's the Road King not the Road Glide. SERG has a six speed in it.

^^^ hmmmm...... ^^^
Wonder if the Road King is saying it wants a six speed too?

Added a hog trough drink holder to lower left fairing.

True. But the Road King is perfect (sort of).

Well, I pulled the Front Fork reflectors off resterday. Then I did the Cannonball Run at Smoky Mountain. Put 405 miles on the bike enjoying great roads of East TN and NC. Looking Glass Falls, Highest point on the parkway, then across Smoky Mountain National park. Great day of riding.
Now taking the bike over to have the 1K service done with a little over 1100 miles on it.

Monday morning, I stated out at 0400 for the Iron butt 1000 miles in 24 hours. Stopped in Conway AR for dinner and some sleep after 1030 miles in 15 hours and 45 minutes. Then left at 0430 to do the last 500 miles for my 1500 miles in 36 Hours. Finished that by 1300 with 3 hours to spare.
Washed the bike when I got home. Have to get all the pictures and paper work together to submit for my Saddle Sore 1000 and my Butt Burner 1500.

Went for a short 215 mile ride yesterday with a friend. Up the Cherohala Skyway, stopped at the top for a cigar, then looped over and rode the dragon back. Nice to ride curves rather than the interstate.
Also installed custom dynamics Halo turn signals and the new Klock Werks 12" Pro-tour windshield to test.

Did you have good fall colors for your ride? Went over the Cherohala Skyway and the Dragon Wednesday, very little color. Yesterday we went over 441, Gatlinburg to Cherokee and the colors were pretty good, same on parkway to Maggie Valley.
Yesterday was a great day to ride. May ride the bike to SMHD today to drop it off and have the apes put on. Looks like bad weather for several days

Grizzly, my trailer is an open utility trailer which I had recently restained the floor. While loading the bike in the wet by myself my foot slipped out from under me just as I hit the top of ramp trailer floor and bike laid over against metal railing. Not the best trailer for hauling a big bike and have since put non-slip coating on its floor. Chock is a top of line Condor, but turn over occurred before I got the wheel in it.
Boardtracker quoted a 30 day lead time on the fender but shipped out three days after order. Pretty easy order, just supplied my VIN.

Really no fall colors to speak of anywhere along the route, Dave. This rain coming through will either get em started or knock them all off the trees.
-
It has been the same outcome here in Southern Ontario.
We were spoiled with hot, sunny and dry weather all through September and early October breaking records almost everyday! Actually it is still going with temps well above the norm.
For a good display of fall colours the trees require a good amount of moisture and a decent frost, both of which we haven't had yet.
Well, I guess you can't have the best of both worlds, as the leaves are dropping before they change.
At least we've enjoyed lots of great riding weather. I'll take that any day. :2vrolijk_21:

When I was looking for a touring I was going to get a 103 Limited, but it didn't jump out at me. So I went outside to stand back and look at the bike through the window but it still wasn't jumping out.
As l was pondering I turned around and saw a row of bikes waiting to go into the shop so I went over to have a look and,....BANG,..... there it sat. It was LOVE at first site. I bought it that bay ;D
And no tricky pic work, actually I don't think the pic does it justice. I was looking at it and I think I need to adjust the contrast on my phone camera.

I got the HD772's from Computrack Boston for $765.00, I tried to buy the FKC102 Fork Cartridges from them, but they will only sell them to you if you send in your forks and they do the install, so I bought them from Cycle Solutions for $925.00 and they include 2 quarts of the Ohlins fork oil and the 3 special tools you will need to install them.
Both show higher prices on there website but have a "make an offer button" or "email us for our best price"
I know its a lot of money, but IMO its worth it, to bad Moco doesn't include them on the CVO's (like some of the other brands) then the high price of our motorcycles might be worth it. :nixweiss:

When I bought them from JD customs & fabrication the plan was to only use them in the winter months. However I am thinking now they may stay on the bike year round. I have had lots of positive comments on them, and I also think they look pretty good.
Put the cover on it for the winter. :-\
No way. Winter can be a very nice time of year to ride. As long as no salt or snow on the road, I ride. You just have to have the right gear, and then its more comfortable then a 95 degree day.

Colorado is great in the summer for motorcycling but just as crappy as any other Winterland state otherwise. Unless you love downhill or cross country skiing, snowmobiles or ice fishing, skip Colorado during the winter.

If you think the Infotainment system on the Rushmore is a pain, wait till you dig through all that. I love the memory features for the keys though instead of hitting the buttons on the doors. That could weather remote start kicks ass too. Under a certain temp it turns on both defrosters and the heated seat.

Decide to go out for a 200+ mile lunch ride. It was mid 30's when we left this morning and mid 50's when we returned. Great day of riding! Also the BBQ wasn't bad either.
-
Picked up the bike at Six Bends in Fort Myers and took a nice ride mid-day ride.

Well I finally got the Fullsac MX head pipe installed on my 18 CVO Road Glide. Also down loaded the correct Map from TTS. Bike already had the 2.25 fullsac cores and tech mat. Still have the heavy breather to install, but ran out of time yesterday.
The fit of the fullsac pipe is great, heat shields line up better than stock. Pipe mounting is nice, as is the new cross over and the mounting set up for the crossover.
-
Nice set up, GMR got good results with the same

I got my Kury plate frame installed finally.

Technically not done today, (got em for Christmas), will put them on tomorrow.

Now I want to do the entire garage floor!
-
I installed custom dynamics fairing turn signal- running lights. They look great and very bright!
-
I went for a very nice 292 mile ride yesterday. All up through the Cumberland Plateau, even got to see a little snow. Tested out the Fullsac MX head pipe, it does per the butt dyno add power to the bike. Runs smooth.
-
Well I put another 204 miles on the bike yesterday. It was a nice sunny winter day. 35 degrees when I left the house at 1145. Was not thinking it would get colder, I was wrong. I miss having lowers for the winter months.

It was a balmy 14 riding into work this morning, Dave... :rolleyes4: :goofy: :zstupid:

That one looks like a load of fun, JC. I hit the white stuff in April riding into Flagstaff a few years ago....bike looked just like that when I pulled into the motel. Beautiful but glad I made it in before it really came down. Came across Newfound Gap (again in April....maybe the Lord is telling me something...) from the Spring Cherokee rally a few years ago with 6" of the white stuff on the ground and falling. They closed the roads behind me when I hit Sugarlands visitor center as I was the last one through with the Ranger right behind me. Took me 4 hours to get home (normal is around 2.5)....ah, the younger days.... ;D
-
I have rode in plenty of cold. Snow like JCZ, well no. Seems that would be very nerve racking.
Put 135 miles on the bike yesterday. Road over to the Sweetwater Valley Cheese farm to get some good cheese, then up to Smokey Mountain Harley to have some warranty work done, and get the bike washed, as 30 degrees is to cold for me to wash the bike.

Added a FuelMoto Jackpot header, Rinehart 4" Slip Ons and a dyno tune to my 2018 Gunship CVO Street Glide.
Pre Install Dyno: 88.34 HP 104.54 TQ
Post Dyno: 97.38 HP and 120.23 TQ
Awesome torque over 100 ftlb from idle to 5K RMP. Very pleased!
-
Well a good friend made me some vent screens and I had them powder coated. So I installed them yesterday. They look good.
-
I also got my heavy breather installed. The canned map is pretty good, but going to have it properly dyno tuned as I am sure there is more.
-
I modified a $42 curved license plate frame made for a non-CVO bike and made it work on my CVO. I was a piece of cake. I just removed the existing tab/mount with a cut-off tool, painted the edge to postpone rust and used some longer bolts. I didn't modify the bike at all. There are several that love the Paul Yaffe version of this, but I have no problem with the existing light.

Went for a cool ride yesterday it was 33 when I left the house. Every new years day (roads permitting) I go for my first ride of the year to this little mom and pop bar on the Pilchuck river in Machias and watch their "Polar Bear Club" jump in the river at high noon! I think it got up to a balmy 35 degrees by then. It's quite the show. Went for lunch and a nice loop after that. Thank goodness for Gerbing!!

Installed a hk radio on my old 04 seeg. The stock radio died. Really had a good time working on the old cvo. I remembered I saw and old thread here that Twolanerider did this on his 05. A friend had one in the garage after doing an upgrade. So I got this for cheap. Only $100.00.
-
Then I added an amp and new speakers. This Rockford amp really does the job well. Lots of clear power and doesn't take up very much room at all. Very easy install.
-
And speakers. I miss this bike. Runs amazing still. Yeah that John Sachs sure can build a hell of a motor. 80k miles and better than ever. :2vrolijk_21:

Picked the breakout up from the dealership after a service interval and having them put on an oil pressure gauge. Got home to notice the gauge pressure line was contacting the front pipe and the clear sleeve over the braided line was melting. So hard to get good help these days. I suppose I should have inspected the work closer. Lesson learned.

Sounds like a trip back to the dealership for a new line... mistakes happen (unfortunately) :(... now they have to do the right thing.. and that means replacing the line and not trying to fix/Band-Aid it.

Indeed.
Chit happens sometimes. They said they would make it right so I'm not to bent out of shape. Have to work all week anyway so it won't cut into my riding any

Well yesterday trailered my Bike in the Freezing rain to Mohawk TN to have it tuned. Man I hate trailering. Tune is done and plan to ride the bike home today. It sure has a pretty nice torque curve for just a high quality fullsac exhaust and tune. The dyno graph is posted in the Intake/Exhaust section.
-
Added the Full..sac treatment, again! MX pipe, 2.0" power cores, techmat blankets and TTS Mastertuner :2vrolijk_21:
-
Rode the bike 125 miles home from the tuner. Very good throttle response. Good roll on power from idle to 5000 rpm. Cruising interstate at 3000 rpm, roll on is great, no down shift to pass in a hurry. Then in the twisty curves roads, its a blast, great usable power, easy to ride.
Going to go ride her again today.
-
Rode in the rain today got the bike nice and dirty . Got to wait for a dry day now to clean it instead of riding it :(

Did a nice 250 mile ride through the hills of East TN with Friends. Nicest day so far this year for a ride. Had a good time. When I got home this was in the mail box. Been waiting on it since October.

What have I done? Changed the fairing to roadglide, inverted front end, carbon wheels, new swingarm, and a paint job.

Got my custom license plate installed to go along with my Big Red theme, bike's nickname. Big Red was taken, so had to settle for "BG RED".

Thanks! Those are the love jugs mighty mite fans. I painted them granite to blend in with the motor better. Really help keep the heads cool at slower/stopped situations. Here's a full look.

Excellent, thanks. Think'n I'm gunna look into those
Cheers from Canadia :drink:
-
Looks good. They look a little larger diameter than the Wards units.
-
I wanted those originally because they sold a granite unit. But they were out of business. I bought these and found a nickel paint almost identical to the motor color. I actually don't care for how they look, and they especially stood out when they were chrome. After I painted them, they weren't such an eye sore.
-
Your bike is looking very sharp Scott.
-
Got the Monkey bars installed! I'll get some photos when the rain stops.....in June lol
-
Pulled the exhaust and air cleaner off so I can tackle a cam swap in the morning. Wondering if I should have ordered a different a/c instead of sticking with the heavy breather.

I moved my RV from Tampa to Umatilla, Fl. Then I went for a ride.....in my t-shirt sleeves! It was still 69F at 7:00 p.m. :bananarock:

Replaced the motor mount, fuel door hinge, and added some Christmas Chrome (oil filler spout and oil vent line)
-
Two different fans:
-
Had a talk with the dealer about the replacement fender they recived for my breakout (replacement for the known rust issue). It had several chips along both left and right sides on the bottom edge. Looks like it was placed on a rack after painting and that wrecked the clear coat.
So yet another rear fender is being put on order. We will see what this next one looks like in 30 days or so
-
Changed the fuel filter.
-
Walked by the Ol' Girl in the garage this morning, and said, "Maybelle, git your chit together. You've been up on that jack since October, and we're leaving the 9th, going to Daytona!" She never said a word, but I know she heard me. Later--HUBBARD

Two different fans:
The horn cover with fan looks like a nice touch, where did you get it from.
What about your horn, did you remove it.

Recently detached the tour pak on my 2015 RGU. Got tired of hauling about 65 lbs around all the time when I’m riding in town and day rides. Just used individual parts from the kit except no bag signals since my 2015 already had fender signals. Have not changed out the big touring seat yet.
-
I ordered a Clearview Shields wind shield for her. It is officially the first new part for my bike!
-
Replaced the SE lifters with S&S Premium Lifters
-
Just had a new rear drive belt and sprockets replaced. 85,000 miles on it and don't want a problem in the middle of no where on a trip. Preventive maintenance. Then it's on the hoist for the annual Glare coating and cleanup.

One of my local dealers has a annual "Discount Run" from one of their Dealerships to one of their other Two locations. I ended up getting 67.5% discount. (Max $500.00 off)
Ended up getting a new rear Dunlop American Elite, Chrome TB cover, Heavy Breather short filter kit, Screamin' Eagle hat and HD Leather button up shirt for Mama.
Total cost out of pocket minus $70.00 gift card, $244.36!!!
Bonus: two sub sandwiches, chips and a killer big cookie!

Congrats on the new one. I have been following your story. I just traded my '16 for a gunship gray streetglide. Still waiting on it. A dealer trade as well. Should arrive next week. I went ahead with the Stage IV. I have a dyno guy from an HD shop about 50 minutes away telling me that he can exceed what has been posted about the setup even with the SE tuner. I didn't buy from that dealer, but they have always done my motor work as my dealer who I now have bought 4 bikes from doesn't have a dyno.
Enjoy the new ride. Excited to hear your thoughts on it.

Rode home from Daytona on the 18 CVO Road glide yesterday. Beautiful but cool day for a ride back roads from Jacksonville FL to hone in TN, lots of good curves in North GA and TN.

I had my seat hold down nuts powder coated Black. When running just a solo seat all I could ever see was the 2 Silver thumb screws standing out under my seat. I think this will be much less noticeable.

Finally remembered to take and then post a pic of my new bike in the sunshine. A record breaking temperature here in the Seattle area on Monday. It was over 70 degrees. This pic was taken from a little hilltop park in Anacortes Wa. the home of the annual Oyster Run which is supposedly the largest 1 day bike rally in the nation. The rally use to be an actual run that started in Marysville where I live and made several predestined stops along the way to downtown Anacortes until it just got way too big to organize as a "run". They shut down main street for the one day of the year for the event. The rally takes place on the last Sunday in September every year.
-
Told my dealer to go ahead with my <60 days mods. (I closed on the bike on 2/1/18.) Dropped a hard copy list just make sure there is no miscommunication. They will order all of their stuff and all that leaves is getting my rebuilt Ohlin 3-3s back from Howard.

Rode that bitch. The new (old) one. Replaced the carb and a petcock on the new-to-me old FXR2, dialed in a few other small things and finally got to ride it some. Four hours and 200+ miles later we were home and the bike and I had bonded. :drink:

It's taken a bit but finally got a oil temperature gauge installed. Made the mount from 1.3mm stainless.

Expensive? Man you don't want to go to California. Just a couple of days ago Babe and I were talking about how affordable this area is. :huepfenlol2:
We went by Middleton Place just before we went to dinner with Mikey and his wife. I didn't have my camera with me that day but did take it yesterday and will do a ride report within a few days. :2vrolijk_21:
I agree......a lot of history in Savannah and Charleston area. These were two towns that we visited often on weekend liberty when I was stationed at the Marine Corps Air Station, Beaufort, SC. We were just about in the middle so we went back and forth often. I remember a lot of drunk Marines and Sailors but I don't remember all of these tourists. Maybe my memory was a little skewed by all the alcohol back then..... :nixweiss:

Installed Hogworkz extended bags and HD fender lacelle . Liked the look but pipes were to close to the bags, After 8 hours of riding anything in the bottom of the bags got really hot. Modified exhaust to gain 1" clearance.

The weather is finally starting to break and the warm sunshine is heating up, roaring to 75-80 degrees for the next 5 days in my neck of the woods.
Mama asked me to put on the 2-up seat and Tourpak so she can finally get on the bike since last fall.

I didn't finish this up "today" but figured I'd post my before/after photos of the paint matched docking station from last week. I ride solo only and prefer no docking station, but need it for the tour pack on trips. Figured I'd get it matched along with those caps that cover the hardware. Just hitting the details!

Just started back riding after March knee scope. Noticed my shift levers getting loose at the spline connection at rear of linkage shaft. Rainy day Sunday so took the linkage apart and find the pinch bolt is showing some thread damage but otherwise splines look good. Cleaned it all up and putting it back together today with new bolts, re-torqued to new spec and lots of blue Loctite.

Was she courtious enough to be there waiting for you when you came out of the store? Just curious, a lot of times down here in the States people would have tried to get away with just taking off. I understand it's a whole different world up there with ICBC for insurance.
-
She had been looking for me.....left her name and # at the cashier in the store.......then saw us approaching the bikes and first thing apologized. Then she gave me insurance info. I called her with a price to give her the option of paying for it instead of insurance......at $1500 she opted to go through insurance. All should be good...in 6-8 weeks!

Damaged my front fender for my 2015 CVO RGU last fall and ended up replacing it. Ordered color matched from Boardtracker for about $800. Four bolts and its replaced. Paint was a perfect match. Fender came very well wrapped in tissue wrap and packing. Don't know if that is HD standard or Boardtracker. They quote a 30 day lead time but it shipped in less than a week after order was placed.
That is a nicely shined tank n8schmitz in pic several posts above.

Thanks guys for all the nice comments on my new seat.
I enjoyed a good ride on it this past weekend and although the old seat was not uncomfortable, the new one with the gel pad is that much better! Possibly it's an age thing? :P

I'm on day 7 of my 15 day no ride order from my surgeon. I planned ahead and ordered Khrome Works 10" Bagger Bars and a new set of slip ons. These were the first two items on my list of things I wanted to do to my new to me scooter. I made arrangements to have my son take my head pipe to have it welded after I gutted it so I dug in this morning and started disassembly. I feel like I won a lottery.
I pulled the bags off and found Progressive rear shocks. So now I am not only happily surprised but understand why it handles so much better than I had anticipated. I pull the heat sheilds off and notice the head pipe looks different than stock. I pulled the slip ons off and shine a light in there and it is wide open to the O2 sensors. Now I even happier but wondering why I was getting so much heat on the right and the slip ons had been nearly welded in place. I look thru the slip ons and can only see a pin hole of light. New ones have 2-1/2" thru baffle and no other restriction. I fired it up and the neighbor who is not a fan of loud came over with a huge smile on his face. "What are those they sound awesome?" I told him they are Tennessee Tips from JP cycle and they are my third set. He said he had missed the sound of the '06 I traded. I did too. I think the heat will lessen now too. Tomorrow is bar day. If anyone recognizes the head pipe please let me know what kind it is. I'm still grinning. 330.00 for the bars, bushings and mufflers and then the surprises. Previous owner wherever you are THANK YOU!

Well, yesterday, I rode 12 hrs of back roads home from DeLand Florida to Madisonville Tennessee. 586 miles and a sore butt.

Icewater, that head pipe looks a bit like the Fuelmoto 2/1/2. Hard to tell as cant see the crossover very well. I had one on my 2011 Limited. Mine has slightly reduced diameter crossover and additional plugged O2 bungs up near the heads.

Thank you much. The crossover is slightly reduced. I aporeciate the info. I haven't gotten to ride it so if I end up needing to adjust the tune it will help. Previous owner also left his tuner but I will have to register it with Dyno Tech and don't know if any info will transfer.

Upgraded my 2015 SERG's SE High-Flow Exhaust System Nightstick mufflers. Stumbled across a set of near new 4.5" SE Street Cannons on eBay which apparently were take-offs from a SE High-Flow Exhaust System for the M8 (2018 P&A). Incredibly, each muffler has the 2.25" diameter inlet required to fit my header pipes! I've gotta say that this combination is the best sounding exhaust system I've ever experienced for touring. The large diameter mufflers produce a very satisfying deep Harley rumble at low throttle and a nice throaty sound under acceleration, even with the cats in the mufflers. I've gotta highly recommend the SE High-Flow Exhaust System for a really nice combination of sound and performance …...at least for senior ears like me :2vrolijk_21:!

There is no gauge for comparison purposes Capt. D but the fan does pull a bunch of air when engaged (I let it sit and idle long enough to kick on to test it) so I'm sure it will help when called upon to do so.

The high flow exhaust system moves the cats to the mufflers and changes the inlet size to 2.25" on both left and right so you can't take the now cat free head pipe and easily install cat free slip ons.

On the 2017 m8. the right side inlet is 2.5" and the left side is 1.75" if I remember right. I just installed slipons on my bike, thats how I know.

Once you change to the HD performance header, the outputs of the head pipe are now the same size on each side as the cats move into the mufflers. I believe that's what the previous member was saying.

Link to just that was in my post but here it is again. And yes, that is what I was saying, the stock pipes are just what you say, it is when you change to this performance exhaust that the header pipe outlet/muffler inlet size changes to 2.25". You can't buy just the header, you have to get the whole system.

Finally got around to riding a fair amount this weekend. Rode a poker run yesterday with Dwayne and Pam and the two Steves, then rode down to the Swinging Bridge with Dwayne and Pam, Steve (WW) and Sylvia, Miss Susan and the one and only Carl Lee Hubbard.
Both days glorious days for riding but a tad on the warm side for up here in the mountains. Getting ready for WV GTG....

Gave the bike a good detailing, on Saturday. Hooked it up on a tender for the first time in about a year in a half.

Dammit. Now I've got Zager and Evans stuck in my head.....
I worked on the old FXR2 today. Got up early. It was raining so said screw it and went back to bed. Got up again later, went to brunch, then changed the handlebars on the bike.
As it came to me it had a drag bar on it. Even with the tall-ish and angled risers it made my shoulders and back uncomfortable. Went with a Wild1 255 bar. Gained some height and some pullback. It's much better now. Barnett's Plantinum braided cables, new braided brake line, replaced the old and flaking switch housings and replaced the original black master cylinder and clutch perch with new chrome stuff. Also put on a set of braided spoons. I know, the braided levers with tassels screams 1970s but it's a look I've always liked.
-
Added highway pegs, back rest, and looked at the shifter levers for comfort.
-
I finally did my long awaited fairing lowers and engine guard conversion. :bananarock: I used the Vivid Black kit which I bought from Reggie at Hoarnytoad Harley as they had the best discount this time. The airflow control is night and day. I'm so glad to have my lowers back and the redesigned Rushmore lowers definitely seem to work better than the previous design that were on my 2011 SESG. I'm waiting on my new highway peg mounts as the billet Harley style that I used previously have a clearance issue.
And Harley still says it can't be done! Thanks everyone here for helping to prove them wrong....again.

What pegs are you using on the highway mounts? Can you get ones the same as the passenger pegs?

I am using my passenger pegs which I replaced with matching passenger floorboards. I believe that you CAN order another set of pass. pegs from Harley but your VIN # will be required for proof of ownership since they are exclusive to a CVO.

Do today? It was a good day :2vrolijk_21: .
Left the house this morning on the Road Glide. It was full of fuel. Had breakfast while out. Got home the bike is out of fuel and killed several bugs. Bike was happy.
Left the house again mid afternoon. This time the Road King. It was full of fuel. Had dinner while out. Got home and the bike is out of fuel and has a lot of bugs. Bike was happy.
Will clean them tomorrow.
Couldn't ride the FXR. It's up on the lift. Waiting on a couple of small bits to finish the floorboards install.

The feel is going to be much better Dick. With the forward controls my right knee was against and leg was wrapped around the air cleaner. Was also stretched out so far didn't get much bend in the knees. Would never have been good for more than a two tank day. Only question in the first impressions now is wish either the boards were a little lower (can't happen, no adustability) or the seat were a little higher. It's not a huge thing though. Everything else is much much better.
With the change in the handlebars and getting the windshield on it the old bike is much closer to an all day bike now if one were so inclined. Am pleased with the result. Will get a picture or three up right away.

I called George at CVO Backrest to see if he had changed his design as mine had a good amount of flex to it (purchased approximately a year ago for a 16 CVO Street Glide). He said he had and before I could offer to pay, he said I’ll ship one out to you tomorrow morning at no charge. WOW! I installed on my 18 CVO Road Glide and there is “NO” flex! Outstanding backrest and wanted to give a shoutout to George! If you’re in the market for a backrest, give it a look you won’t be disappointed.

Decided to keep bike for another 3 years, (2015 roadglide)
nothing currently being developed seems suitable to invest. New engine not yet tested.
:orange:
installed the wireless coms system last month get rid of the old wire system.
not happy, the mic is too sensitive and unable to hear intercom. Sena have not been very helpful. I would not recommend installing this kit. :worthless:
Also, upgraded to stage 4 (117) kit. Much better torque for towing the trailer.
recommend this. :2vrolijk_21:

Same here, just replaced the battery after 3.5 years and put detached tour pack back on getting ready for MV. Battery was not dead yet but it seemed to be cranking a bit slower when engine was cold. Figure its better to replace a bit early than to wait and get stranded somewhere.

Called in at Ricks Motorcycles in Baden Baden Germany. Wanted to get them to look at the clutch cable adjustment on my girls Softail Street Bob. They sorted it free of charge. They have changed it on the 18 onwards cable bikes to a spring loaded plastic tube thingy that confused me but it looks really simple when a tech shows you how. They have a new CVO the same as mine in there but no 2019 bikes.

Rode all over SoCal looking to see the Mako Shark in person. On friday my dealer told me about 3 dealers within 150 miles that showed it in stock. Doesn't do any good to call them because they will just lie and say its there to get you in then try and sell something in stock so figured since they were there Friday one had to have it. Nope, all 3 were sold. 2 of the 3 said it wasn't in stock for hours as many of the sales guys had a list to call when it showed up since seems like none of these guys take deposits.
I see some of you post pics of them at various dealerships so not sure whats going on in SoCal. One sales guy said they sold it for 47K which he was trying to convince me was below market value. Didn't want to argue with him but told him I thought his perception of "market value" may be a bit warped.

Ohlins with separate oil reservoir in rear. 13 inch instead of 12 but really can't see the difference IMO. Does give you a bit more clearance before scraping. Fronts are Ohlin cartridges which don't effect height.

What seat is that? Factory or aftermarket? if after, what manufacture?
I'm sure that is fullsac system, using TTS?

It’s from the catalog. You can get it in full or chopped. Cost about$1300.00. But I put amber lights on it and will be putting integration auto locks on so will lock with the side bags. Also Harley does not include a felt linnet you will have to purchase that as well. Only comes with a rubber mat inside. Hope this helps.

I'm only looking at options that retain the stock heat shields. I'll ride the bike for a year or two, and then when I'm itching to trade it (because that ALWAYS seems to happen lol) I'll put a full exhaust, tuner, and work the engine a bit so it feels new. Plus, I don't want to mess w/the bike to much until I have 3/4K miles on it, want to ensure the bike doesn't have any issues.

Mines inside. Works great. Never had an issue with it. Stuart :nixweiss:
On the Rushmore bikes, the Road Glides get better XM reception due to where the antenna is placed in the fairing, nothing above it. The Bat wing the antenna is not in a good location. Reception is much worse than the road glide. The fix is exactly what Joe did, then it is better then the road glide.
-
What Dave said. On the bat wing the XM antenna is under the metal windshield trim. There is not a really good location inside the fairing to move it to. The spot beside the vent works great in my opinion. On the road glides there is plenty of room inside the fairing to find a good spot not blocked by metal. Another thing I have found is the Whim bluetooth will degrade the XM signal if you get the antenna to close to the Whim unit.

The BMW dealer has never had anyone do the mods I have them doing. They keep telling me what a "Harley Guy" I am with all my "stuff". This was yesterday, picking it up today at 5.

Leaving home tomorrow for eureka springs, on to day trips to oaklahoma hills and the southern Missouri. In preparation had new tires put on and yellington mechanical reverse pulley. The pulley works awesome, wasn’t quite as easy to install and adjust as the website says but still much easier than the internal transmission gear types.

Did about a 100 mile "ride home" after taking delivery. No idea how to work it but DA-- its fast!! Already scheduled my 600 mile first service for Tuesday (closed on Monday), going to be a fun weekend! Nice to not have to worry about it sumping before I get it broke in..

Poor reception. This is my 4th FLH Rushmore bike and I've moved the antenna on every one. Works great putting it on the outside. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181019/ada48fe8ebba875572c5f0063b0da378.jpg)

I see you got the 2019 Mako/Fade, they do not have a garage door opener feature like the Ultras have?
I now. I got caught up with the new bike. Traded in my cvo ultra and then built an ultra like I had out of it. Seat was hard and needed heated grips e everything my other bike had. I bit the bullet but was disappointed that a touring bike came without a real windshield (smaller than dash) no heated grips or seat and no slot in seat for a riders back rest. Don’t get me wrong I now love the bike just cost me $7000.00 to get there

That one looks pretty short! How does it work? Which one is it?

It's the 6" super low. You still get some wind but not buffeting. I could hardly hear the music before. Now I can hear ok, with just some wind that feels like it's flowing by you. I'm sure the taller the shield the better but I don't like the look of a tall one. I'm 5'10" if that helps.

I like the way you say the HD tech's are pro's. Hum... might disagree with you there. The Windvest shields are the best in my opinion. I have, like others, bought several different windshields but find the Windvest that Is just tall enough for me to look over offers the best protection.

I have a paint code that is an excellent match for the Lightning Steel however your bike is basically the opposite scheme from the Road Glides. I assume that you would want the License Plate bracket Charred Steel. I am sure that a good body shop can match it up. Many of the bigger body shops have a device called a Spectrophotometer, PPG calls theirs a "Prophet" It is basically a high quality scanner that pulls up the formula for a paint code. They would place it on the Charred Steel portion and scan it and then it spits out a formula to mix it from the pigments in their paint room.
The brackets really do clean up the rear end on a domestic bike creating a clean "Waterfall" look on the rear fender.

Well I stumbled on it completely by accident. When I brought the new bike home and had it all cleaned up outside in the sunshine... It was parked next to my 2017 Ford Escape. The metal flake, color, everything was dead on. The texture was a little different but that is because Harley color sands and buffs the finishes smooth and Ford did not. I checked it over and over in different lightings and it looked good. So I had my Yaffe Bracket finished 2017 Ford Color Code: UX/M7226 Ingot Silver Metallic. Worked out great.

I also have a 2012 Roadglide that I am finishing some stereo upgrades (2 Fosgate amps) on. When I finish with my 2012 or " if something happens to my 2015 CVO under ESP" I will change out my SE 585 cams and send my heads to Don at HDSP in Washington and let him 0 deck them, put his sport performance headwork and change valve springs like he did on my 2012 Roadglide ...Then I will dyno tune it and be "happy" for now..

Just picked up a 2019 FLHXSE. Added a color-matched, quick-detach King Tour Pak with lighting, luggage rack, speakers and a remote lock; CVO heated tour seat; Freedom Shield; highway pegs; garage door opener (not the $140 MoCo one); V&H headers, Neighbor Hater mufflers and tuned it; setup the headset; and connected the wireless remote module for my Gerbing clothing. Oh - and the kids named her Harley-quinn (after the super hero).
If anyone is interested in how I setup the garage door opener to operate by flashing the lights for $34 in parts, hit me up and I'll be happy to share the details. It's really easy.

Added a color-matched, quick-detach King Tour Pak with lighting, luggage rack, speakers and a remote lock; CVO heated tour seat; Freedom Shield; highway pegs; garage door opener (not the $140 MoCo one); V&H headers, Neighbor Hater mufflers and tuned it; setup the headset; and connected the wireless remote module for my Gerbing clothing. Oh - and the kids named her Harley-quinn (after the super hero).
If anyone is interested in how I setup the garage door opener to operate by flashing the lights for $34 in parts, hit me up and I'll be happy to share the details. It's really easy.
Gotta do it :P

Nice bike and pictures Critical

For the garage door opener (GDO), here's how it's done on touring models (I believe it will still work on other bikes, but I THINK the AUX port I describe in Step 2 below is under the seat). I searched high and low for some detailed instructions on how to set this up and didn’t find anything useful, so I’m hoping this helps a lot of other folks like me. It works perfect and I couldn’t be happier with the results!
PARTS
An extra GDO that you do not mind soldering to.
AutoSwitch Relay: https://goo.gl/BCh9XT (https://goo.gl/BCh9XT) - $30
1 Wire Tap Connector (included with the AutoSwitch) - $0
1 Two-Position Connector Plug (p/n 73152-96BK): https://goo.gl/HqR66Q (https://goo.gl/HqR66Q) - $3
2 Electrical Contacts (p/n 73191-96): https://goo.gl/xwwvMK (https://goo.gl/xwwvMK) - $2
[The connector plug and crimp contacts are available at your local MoCo dealer. Tax included, mine were $4.39.]
ADDITIONAL PARTS (If you're anal like me...)
Zip Ties (I've got thousands laying around) - $0
Double-sided 3M VHB Tape 5952 (again, had a role laying around). Velcro will also work. - $0
Shrink wrap (plenty in my electrical tool box) - $0
TOOLS
Torx 25
Torx 27
Soldering Supplies
Wire cutter/stripper/crimper
Drill and a small drill bit
Step 1 - Modify The Remote
- Open your GDO and separate the cover and the circuit board.
- Identify the contacts on the circuit board that activate the door you want to open. I confirmed this with a piece of scrap wire that I used to join the two contact points. That closed the circuit and opened the door.
- Drill one or two small holes in the cover (depends on the layout) near the contact points you just identified. Make sure to drill the holes in a location that allows enough room for the extra wires to lay inside when you put the remote back together. You may want to do a quick dry fit before soldering to avoid any frustration later.
- Feed the orange wires from the AutoSwitch through the holes in the cover with enough slack so that you can work with the wires when soldering them to the circuit board.
- Solder one of the orange wires to one contact, and the second orange wire to the second contact. See Image 1 below to see what mine looks like.
- Reassemble the remote and set the assembly aside.
Step 2 - Remove the Fairing
- Use the Torx wrenches (or bits) to remove your fairing. Disconnect the lighting connector(s) and set the fairing aside.
- Locate the black, 2-pin auxiliary connector (on the bike, not inside the fairing) just above and to the brake side of the radio. See Image 2 below. It is an ‘extra’ so there shouldn't be anything plugged into it. NOTE: the black wire is ground, and the purple wire is power – this is a switched line, so your new GDO will only work when the bike is powered on. ANOTHER NOTE: If you have already used this plug to connect another accessory (like an onboard camera), then you will need an auxiliary splitter to create another place to plug in (p/n 69200921): https://goo.gl/hbQYBD (https://goo.gl/hbQYBD)
- In the headlamp wire harness on the bike side, locate the high-beam wire – it’s blue with a white stripe (I believe it is the same for all the touring bikes)
Step 3 – Make Connections
- Crimp the electrical contacts onto the power (red) and ground (black) wires from the AutoSwitch.
- Insert the contacts into the two-position connector plug paying close attention to line up the corresponding power and ground wires with the wires in the auxiliary plug you located in Step 2. Make sure the contacts are fully seated into the connector plug and that you lock them in place with the plastic flap on the back of the plug.
- Now plug the AutoSwitch power connector you just made into the auxiliary plug on the bike.
- Turn your bike on. If done correctly so far, the LED indicator on the AutoSwitch should now be illuminated. Turn off the bike.
- Using the included red wire tap connector, connect the yellow wire from the AutoSwitch to the blue/white high-beam wire you located in Step 2.
- Make sure your low beams are selected and then power up your bike. Turn on your high-beams for about two seconds and then turn them off. Your garage door should open and you are almost done!
- Turn off the bike and tidy up the parts/wires. I adhered the garage door remote and the AutoSwitch to the blank space on the radio mounting plate (clutch side of the radio), and then zip tied all the wires to the existing wire looms.
- If you are the type that likes to have visual confirmation that everything is working properly, you can mount the LED from the AutoSwitch somewhere visible from the driver’s seat. The garage door opening is all the verification I need, so I just wrapped/tucked it with the rest of the wires.
- Grab your fairing, reconnect the lighting and mount the fairing back to the bike.
Now go get yourself an adult beverage and enjoy your success!
FYI – the default setting for the AutoSwitch relay is to activate your GDO when the high-beams are switched on/off once. You can modify the setting to require a quick, double tap of the headlamps if you prefer. Refer to the AutoSwitch instructions on how to do that.

michaelokielee did you have to remove your fairing to get enough wire to disconnect old and connect new? If so did you have to remove the fang spoiler to remove the top of the fairing?
I started to replace mine with CD ProBeam signal/driving lights and there was not even enough wire to disconnect the factory signal lights so I stopped the install.

You do not have to remove the fang spoiler to remove the top of the fairing. Three bolts hold it on on each side, the lower one at the bottom of the fairing, one behind the speaker grill, and one at the turn signal, this is same for other side. Then the windshield bolts. Plenty of extra wire in the fairing for the turn signals. You can un plug pull out what you need swap bulbs, then pull wire back in. Had mine off to do CB and Garage door opener.

I had to remove the Fairing on mine because the tech that built my bike did not give me any extra slack. I am sure it just depends on the bike, depending on the person that routed the harness for the signal. If you can pull yours out enough to see the JAE connector, you can stick a screwdriver up in the signal housing to push the release tab on the connector. The Custom Dynamics lights come with a 3 inches of extra wire, so install is easy once you get the factory led out.
To answer your second question, you do have to remove the (2) screws on each side attaching the Fang to the Fairing, (1) screw each side under the Front Speaker covers, (1) Cap bolt in Signal Housing on each side, and (2) screws on each side of Windshield,(12) total to remove the Front Fairing.

Was going to install the paint matched head light bezel until I read the instruction, do not install under 50 degrees. Recommend 70 degrees. It was 30 degrees.
So I went and did a nice job 160 mile ride. Will take her out again today and ride.

Busy yesterday, cut out 4 pair of vent screens. Removed the front of the fairing as you can not remove turn signal bulbs with out doing so, wires are to short to get in and unplug. So I then installed custom dynamic Dynamic Ringz which are white LED that turn yellow when you use turn signals. Then I installed the vent screen. I also installed the mount for my GoPro on the front of the fairing. I also put plugs in all the holes from the passenger pegs when they were removed.

I pulled all the chrome off my 2018 CVO RG, the Lava Orange model and sent in for powder coating, gloss black. I have the front end complete blacked out, with Legend suspension. Have to have my son bring his Mac computer home from college so I can upload my video to my youtube channel. Will post pics of my bike when I get the parts back and installed. Really looking forward to the look I wanted! Can't wait!

47,875 miles on the Handle bars, The 17 SESG, then the 18 SERG and now the 19 SERG.
Took the hand guards off yesterday and the cup holder has they both had paint chips. Took them, the back rest base bracket and two pair of vent screens to the powder coater yesterday. Also put new tags on the CVO King and the SERG. Good for another year.

Spent the day at Doc"s Performance Tuning in Minneola Florida for Fullsac conversion, TTS, and Dyno Tune. Doc is the best IMO. Can't believe the improvement in pull and sound (2" power cores). 4th new bike Doc has tuned for me and likely not the last.
:orange:

Added a QuadLock phone holder with RAM brake ball mount. Going to use iPhone as input source for all music. Going to use Waze for GPS. Boom Box will be interface.
Next stop.... Biketronics pro speaker system upgrade. Feb 16th... wish me luck.

Installed the HD solo rack I had modified to haul my T-Bag Route 66. When using rear seat for the bag, you have to polish fender each time you remove the seat. I only have a seat on when hauling a bag. Now no need to put rear seat on. Rack will only be on with a bag on it.

King tour pak. Gotta have one.

Just picked up a 2019 FLHXSE. Added a color-matched, quick-detach King Tour Pak with lighting, luggage rack, speakers and a remote lock; CVO heated tour seat; Freedom Shield; highway pegs; garage door opener (not the $140 MoCo one); V&H headers, Neighbor Hater mufflers and tuned it; setup the headset; and connected the wireless remote module for my Gerbing clothing. Oh - and the kids named her Harley-quinn (after the super hero).

New battery in the 16rg. 3 years on the stock battery. That's amazing to me 😁. Stuart.

Put the Ohlins back on it after spending a small fortune to have them serviced. Well, not a small fortune but about 35% of what new ones would cost me. :o Didn't realize when I bought them that they require service every 20-25k miles. With some help from Carol Burks, aka Smarty here on the forum, I did some checking when putting them back on. Shock mounting holes are different lengths on these bikes. Right side holes are 1/8" of an inch closer together than the left side. Glad the shocks I have ( HD 159) have adjustable length on them. Makes putting them back on easier. Will readjust the sag/preload on them once the weather breaks. Bike is still on the jack for at least another month.

I’ve acquired some TAB mufflers with no baffles in. Can’t decide whether to go with the Zombie or standard baffles. Spoke to TAB who were very helpful. He said imagine it on a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being stock and 10 being no baffles. He put Zombies around an 8. I’m going to fit them to see what I think before deciding. I’m keeping the stock headers for now.
Might just wait for your feedback.

When I bought mine I was between Zombie's and none at all as I am trying to improve sound. I spoke to Cassie who is one of the co owners and he told me the sound is much deeper with the Zombie's and of course no baffles hurts low end considerably (his words). He did say it was possible to get some of that performance back with tuning but since I am running the Harley tuner for warranty reasons not sure that is possible.
I am having them installed next week and looking forward to hearing them in person. After running them for a while I may try and remove the baffles and see how they sound and perform for my self, will see.
As a FYI, Cassie told me that 9 out of 10 pipes he sells are with the zombie baffles.

Just seems to have chipped up a lot earlier in its life, an easier than the other. I average 24K a year on my bikes. This one has more at 3800 miles than the last two did together at over 20K each.

Rode her into work today!! I just got her all cleaned up after the wet ride back from Daytona. I used a F11 knock off called " The Last Coat", we'll see how long she stays clean. :pepper:

Went down to Danny Gray and ordered a buttcrack seat with airhawk.
The nice lady there said it will take longer than normal since they are getting ready to move the shop.
On the upside I get to save on shipping since I can just go pick it up 👍

When I bought mine I was between Zombie's and none at all as I am trying to improve sound. I spoke to Cassie who is one of the co owners and he told me the sound is much deeper with the Zombie's and of course no baffles hurts low end considerably (his words). He did say it was possible to get some of that performance back with tuning but since I am running the Harley tuner for warranty reasons not sure that is possible.
I am having them installed next week and looking forward to hearing them in person. After running them for a while I may try and remove the baffles and see how they sound and perform for my self, will see.
As a FYI, Cassie told me that 9 out of 10 pipes he sells are with the zombie baffles.
Got bike back yesterday and the mufflers sound incredible. Never would have thought bike could sound that good with the cats still in. Very deep note and great volume for morons like me that like loud pipes. Looking forward to a nice long ride checking out the "super bloom" out here with the new set up.

Cleaned bike including greasy finger prints off of new Galfer Wave Rotors, Put on a few miles to bed in the new brake pads.

Tore up the wheel on the rear of the FXR. Doing some spring maintenance and the rear rotor bolts were seized. Probably never removed once in their 30 years in place. Four of the five holes lost threads with the bolts coming out. The fifth looked and felt qustionable. Pulley side good though. Rotor side FUBAR. Thank goodness for a flat table to work on and a set of Time-serts already in the tool box. Had exactly five sleeves left and used them all.

Yea, did that also. Went with American Elites as the C2's not available for the front tire on the Roadglide. Dealer thinks I will like them same as the C2's I run on my 12 Roadglide. Any opinions?

I have never ran the c2's or the elites. I have only ran oem Dunlop on the new frame bikes. On the 03 serk I went with the kenda cataclysm's. They are load rated and are a dual compound tire. Thought I'd try them out. If they work out good. I might put them on the 10 when it needs tires.

Make sure you post up some info about them and a review if you would. I drive past their Tech Center in N.Canton several times a day going to and from work. I've always thought about stopping in and checking on bike tires but never get off work in time.

I’m running the elites and I think they are terrific. Very rough road forgiving for a smoother ride and rock solid on the turns.

I installed new 12 inch Yaffe Monkey Bars last weekend along with chrome Kahuna heated grips. This is on a 2017 CVO Limited.
Got to take the wife for a 170 miles ride today up some nice NC two lane roads and along the Blue Ridge Parkway. I love the bars and grips. These grips with metal on them do not seem to get as warm as the basic stock heated grips.
-
Finished up my new radio install. Sounds pretty good with the boom speakers! Now I need to get the adapter rings and 6.5 mounted!
-
Changed the oil and got it ready for riding weather! Also discovered I need more power in my stereo. Pioneer deck with the boom speakers just isn't loud going down the road. But I have to give a shout out to SIKBIRD. I am a newbie and he has helped me out so much the passed few days!

Finally got my 14" KST Spearhead bars finished up. A little tweak here and there and I'm all set.
Second pix shows the adjustment clamp when you can change your wrist angle some.
No extensions on the wires or stretching them at all. Stock hydro cables also.
For anyone wondering, the bars measure 15" from the top of the cross bar to the top of the peak.

Yes, the liner needs to be cut. Make the cutout in the liner about 1/4” smaller than the actuator housing all around. There is a recess in the back of the actuator for the liner to nest into. This is the same setup as the CVO Limited.

Very interesting, so are the bars 3-piece, as in they come completely apart? if so, I would think that would make wiring them a little easier.
-

Correct. The wires exit from the bottom of the riser bars and just run along the bottom of the bars into the cluster on the Shark. Makes for pretty easy wiring although the extra wires from the heated grips can make things a little more interesting.
Here's a link to them.

You Road Glide guys really have it made on bars. Having done it three times now on the bat wing I don't fret it but it is a lot more difficult!
Installed 12 inch Yaffe's on mine over the winter.

Kahuna grips
-
Those are great bars! Had them on my 11 SESG and they were the perfect height for me but a bitch to install and of coarse pre canbus so had to lengthen EVERYTHING. With the SERG much easier transformation but to keep the cold wind off my hands I needed to go with the 10" Monkey Bars unfortunately, but waaay better than stock!!
A little give, a little take.

Well I understand the give and take. I had 10 inch Yaffe's and they were very good, but wanted taller. I ride all year and the wind is not an issue as I have invested in excellent gear. What I have noticed with the 12 inch is all the bugs the controls catch! Wasn't expecting that and the extra cleaning.

I THINK, your TGS is prewired for Heated Grips, You'd only have to fish the wires down the clutch side and buy the heated grips.

Hey - I just noticed in the pics that your Twin Cool Radiators are not there?? What's up?
-
Luckily they come off pretty easy. A water soaked towel laying over the area will soften them to the point they just wash right off. But you have to soak them first, otherwise it takes for ever to remove them. We live on the coast and so far have not seen them but Leesburg is always a BUGGY trip every year. I usually take A soaked towel in a large zip lok and try to get most of them off when we arrive downtown and then spend awhile after arriving back home that night. Wore a perforated leather jacket one year, it finally took a toothpick sticking it thru each perforation to remove them.
-
No more liquid cooled bike. John Sachs (earlier post) put a S & S 124 in for me. Runs like a freaking beast now. All air cooled. I love it!!!!

They aren't that hard to remove. I just sprayed the bike down for about 15 minutes to get them soft. Then soap and water and gone. But yes you gotta get them good and wet.
John is 100% correct stay on the coast no issues. Go inland ( like Leesburg) get your ass covered with them.

I installed the Black Chrome heat shields and end caps on my Red Pepper CVO road glide. Sure is a pain getting it all lined up correctly. Looks good in my opinion, and how it should have come from the factory if you ask me. Time to ride it today.

Had 1k service done. No sumping. No transmission/primary transfer. Had the guys throw on some red plug wires and move the SiriusXM antenna out next to the vent.
-
Will be dropping it off at SMHD in a little bit for the 5K service, with just over 5500 miles on it.
Leaving it with them as in addition to service, there are a couple of warranty items to look at. Front rotor or rotors are warped. Bad shake under moderate braking.
Also noticed that the lower fang on brake pedal side is rubbing on engine guard, paint missing from both.

Congrats, that is a lot of work, where did you get your Fullsac Header Ceramic coated (Is it Dipped) ????
It was a DIY job using this https://www.eastwood.com/eastwood-hi-temp-internal-exhaust-coating-w-nozzle.html pretty good stuff as I have used it before. I see you're from Savannah, I reside about 20mi up Savannah River from Savannah myself, on the other side of the river.

Got to heat cycle my build today, had one small oil leak at the Jagg adapter where the oil lines hook up, problem solved. It seems like it’s gonna be a good ride. I’m just a parts changer, along with a few speciality tools I got the job done. All the work was done by me except I did send the heads off. I hope I get the reliability that I’m after. This is the most I’ve ever done to a bike at one time. Wish me luck, I need it, hasn’t been on the road yet.
My short list of the work:
S&S 4 3/8 crankshaft
SE lefty bearings both sides
S&S oil pump/plate
TTS 150 cams
SE tapered pushrods
S&S premium lifters
New jugs/pistons (Harley) 10.0 compression, stock, maybe
.030 head gaskets
SE rocker supports
S&S rockers
rocker lockers
Stock heads cleaned up/new components
SE 58mm throttle body, 5.3 injectors
Fullsac dx header pipe ceramic coated inside too, 2.25 muffler cores
Jagg fan assisted oil cooler
Replaced all sensors
Baker DD7
Baker +1.5 oil pan
Baker inner primary bearing
Baker shift arm
clutch hub bearing
Throwout bearing
Primary chain
SE chain adjuster
Rebuilt starter
Alto carbonate clutch pak, Aim 95 lockup, 380# spring
Swing arm bearings
New pulley/belt/ sprocket
Ceramic hybrid wheel bearings
Handlebar bushings
Neck bearings
Motor mount
Tires, Avon cobra
Seals and gaskets
I hope to see ya on the road :orange:
That's an impressive list of items. I hope for your sake you didn't just use that small lift holding your bike up in the picture. You deserve a nice big table lift for all of that work.

Went back to the standard headers with Screaming Eagle slip-ons my FXSTSSE3. Previously had the V&H 2 into 2 Radius.
No difference in performance (at least from the seat of my pants perspective) but a big diff in noise and now I can get around a right hander corner so much easier :)

been between jobs for the first time since high school for the last couple of months so been riding almost every day like a crazy man and loving it! Thats the good news, bad news is last week I hit a patch of oil on a downhill off camber turn and ended up high siding at about 20+ MPH. was wearing my Langlitz leather jacket with Bohn armor underneath, Held Titan race gloves and my AGV Carbon Sportmodular helmet. I sometimes question myself for spending what I do for my riding gear but I sure as he-- never will again! first thing that hit the asphalt was my helmet and then hit hard after on my elbow and shoulder and rolled almost burning through the titanium knuckle covers on my gloves.
great news is other than being bruised up like crazy I didn't have a bit of road rash and not even a headache (helmet looked like it was thrown from a 4 story building..) which was amazing!
Bad news is I got the estimate today and it did almost 16K of damage. Thank God for insurance! I immediately ordered the same helmet and gloves which insurance paid most of ($1000 limit) and hopefully will not give me a hard time over the dealers estimate. Dealer is replacing all painted parts so I won't haver to worry about tryin g to have a painter trying to match the Mako Shark fade which I was very worried about when It first happened. Only bad thing about that is we all know how long the wait is for the painted parts from the MoCo. At least I feel like the bike will be perfect when it is done.
For anyone debating whether the high dollar gear is worth it I absolutely will say it is!
I started my new job yesterday and it could have been a whole different beginning for me if I was not wearing what I was..
-
Glad you were wearing the right gear. You are right, things could have gone very differently
I never squid it anymore. That nagging voice starts cautioning me in my head when I think about it. The least I will ever wear is a Rev'it tornado 2 jacket, Klim jeans and gloves and a Shoie or Simpson brain bucket. I'm old enough to know things don't heal like thet used so do the best I can to mitigate damage

By the way, I don't plan on going anywhere else on the interweb...CVOHarley is my home base and will stay that way no matter what I decide to ride today or down the road. Besides, lately we've had quite a bit of information on other brands so why leave? Y'all b my interweb family.
I also promise not to be "that guy" that buys another brand and then tries to convince everyone else how good it is and how bad everything else is comparably...not gonna be a di-k. I still have a fondness for the MoCo but have earned the right over the past 30 plus years of Harley ownership and 45 years of experience with them to change my colors from time to time... ;D

Bike already torn apart and waiting for painted parts (going to drive me crazy..). Geico was terrific and didn't argue with anything dealer asked for. Everything will be replaced with new which is great. I will always use Geico going forward.

Beautiful bike...what helmet is that you are wearing. I live in Illinois and typically only use one when required by law. The one I currently have is too old, time for a new one. Looks like yours is carbon fiber. The older I get the more I think about wearing one all the time.
-
Its the Simpson Ghost Bandit in carbon fiber with mirrored shield.
Got it as my warm weather lid. It has much more airflow over the top of the head than my Shoei RF-1200 and that makes a huge difference on my bald head.
I was tempted to get Simpson's new modular helmet but it does not have as much airflow

Glad to year your okay, other than bruised up and banged up. You are correct about good gear. Two years ago it really minimized my wife's injury's when she went down on the interstate. No road rash, but broken ribs and shoulder and wrist. Only a 8 hour hospital stay.
Knowing this, I still often times do not wear all the gear all the time.

-
Kville Indian had your bike, too. My favorite color on the 2019 chieftain limited. Saw it in the sunshine at one of their demo events and it's a beauty. The redesign 2019 faring on the chieftains are growing on me and I really like the new design saddlebags but the '18 in that black pearl had caught my eye ever since Sturgis 2017 and the like never faded over the months.
Plus it's half the price and, in my opinion, twice the bike as my '15 was and I really liked that SERGU

The stock seat was the best stock Harley seat I had ever experienced until I hit about 17k and then I seemed to need more frequent stops to keep monkey butt at bay.

Anyway it should be here in about 3 weeks.

Installed a Baker compensator with an M8 chain tensioner on my 2007 FLHRSE3. The stock compensator spring plates were loose and causing occasional backfire on startup, and clunking noise when turning bike off. Went through a battery and a starter because of it. Running fine now. Gonna replace the cam chain tensioners next. Looking at the ones made by Zipperʻs.

More of a grinding noise. It was weird. Only happened at the very end of coming to a stop. Didn't do it all the time either. The dust/dirt was caked in there pretty good. Took some brake dust cleaner and a toothbrush to the calipers to get all that gunk off.

mine dose that when brake is cold, then ok after warmed up.... some times. I even changed pads out to Lindal's and same thing

You can keep that brake dust buildup from minimal to nothing by just Liberally spraying Eagle 1 A-2-Z tire and brake cleaner down into the center of the caliper everytime you wash the bike. Mine look like new, no dust or buildup of any amount. I also do the cars and truck, buy the Stuff in a Half Gallon pump spray bottle at Pep Boys when on sale or Amazon always has it. I use it on everything from the Ceramic tile in shower to the vehicles. It is also safe for painted surfaces such as powder coated wheels or edge of fender while spraying and the brown dirt that rolls off the tires, even when they look clean, it pretty amazing.
Only other thing I notice is I remove bags/seat/cover breather & radio and thoroughly wash the bike weekly. But brake dust does accumulate pretty fast and is actually metallic particles that rust and corrode.

I think I have a bottle of that at home I picked up for the wheels on the car. I will double check when I get home. If that's what it is though it stated on their not to use on motorcycles. Again I will double check when I get home to verify this

FYI; I have a couple gallons of Eagle 1 A-2-Z on hand. I went out and checked, no where could I find anything saying not to use on Motorcycles. I have been using this stuff, liberally, since the '90's. It is not a etching product and I promise will not hurt anything on the bike in the brake/suspension category that is COOL. I personally would not use any cleaning product on a hot surface. I literally drowned the wheels/tires/brake rotors & brake calipers. Lightly scrub the tires and use a micro fiber sponge on the wheels & brakes.

If you’re planning Pikes Peak, do Mt Evans also, then you’ll have the highest paved road in the US!
You can do them both in one day.

If you’re talking the “Lost Coast” be careful. Long nasty gravel roads.

FYI; I have a couple gallons of Eagle 1 A-2-Z on hand. I went out and checked, no where could I find anything saying not to use on Motorcycles. I have been using this stuff, liberally, since the '90's. It is not a etching product and I promise will not hurt anything on the bike in the brake/suspension category that is COOL. I personally would not use any cleaning product on a hot surface. I literally drowned the wheels/tires/brake rotors & brake calipers. Lightly scrub the tires and use a micro fiber sponge on the wheels & brakes.
Was pretty sure I saw it on there. Last line in the yellow instructions written in English.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190726/ab98d05119338a4d07b5a0acd8f92094.jpg)

Mine doesn't have that line, but it is commercial grade container, not consumer & I have been & will continue to use it, liberally. Don't use it if you don't want to. But a chrome wheel is a chrome wheel, regardless of whether it is on a bike or semi.

Agreed 100%. I'd almost be willing to say it has the disclaimer due to people not properly rinsing off their tires/wheels thoroughly and this stuff being kinda slick. Smaller contact patch on a bike vs a car.

When I read that I was wondering if it was "slick" and that was the concern. With that being said I would only use it on the wheels of my bike and not the tires. I do use tire dressing on the wheels of the bike but I don't get it on the treads for the reason they are probably concerned of.

Not to be used as a tire dressing as I don't know anyone that does that. Comment directed at the point of trying to keep it off the tires while using it on the rims or getting any of it off of the tires that may make it's way onto them.

I wasn't implying or thinking of using it as such... only commenting on the concern of it being slick as to not getting it on the tread. However, I do think that disclaimer is probably a "cover their @$$" statement to prevent any liability for the mis(stupid)use of the product. Since I do and have used on all my motorcycle tires some type of dressing to make them shine and probably if I had read the fine print on all the products I've used that disclaimer may have been on some/all of them. As long as you use caution and don't get any product that may be slick on the treads IMO it's a non issue.

If you’re planning Pikes Peak, do Mt Evans also, ......You can do them both in one day.
....... but i wouldn't
.... Pikes Peak is a 3 hr RT during tourist season
....... then ya gotta go 2 hrs north & west to get to the approach to Evans
...... that's about when the thunderclouds roll in , and you don't really want to be above tree line in a thunder/lightning event.
ps: Pikes Peak highway is also closed to private vehicles above Glen Cove, to enable construction of the New Summit house. free Shuttle buses take take you from Glen Cove pkg lot to the current summit house & back down.

Agreed, it’s not easy. I did both after they paved the last section of Pikes. Never had a problem with the weather except for cold winds on top. Traffic seems to be lighter in the week.

Got my bike back and added a couple of “goodies” while we waited for the painted parts (inner and outer fairing, fender, saddlebag and lid) to come from the factory. Painted headlight bezel, LED’s on the fairing and my “buzzer shot” with the vented oil cap from Fueling. Love the look with the new front lights and bezel. Thrilled to get back on it tomorrow. With 8 lights up front if someone pulls out in front of me they are just trying to hurt me..

Well, as others have stated, NOT on my CVO but did ride the newly opened section of the Foothills Parkway and it is very nice. Great views of the smokies and Townsend. Cuts a LOT of time off the route instead of going through Townsend, Wears Valley to Pigeon Forge. Ate lupper (that's lunch and supper for you uneducated folk) at Huck Finns catfish...oooowweeeee dat b good eatin'. Came back foothills to avoid the weekend rush home through Sevierville.

I love the views on the missing link. Sure cuts a lot of time off the trip to and from Wears Valley. I just think the speed limit is too low, should be 45 like the rest of the parkway, not 35.

Dealership replaced both lower fairing speakers and for the second time both saddlebag speakers under warranty. At least the saddlebag speakers lasted around 6 months this time.

That is a lot of speakers in a short time. So the issue with speakers was not corrected like they said with the update graded speakers in Sept of 18.

The updated saddlebag speakers are better. The previous model speakers only lasted a month if that. I got a good 6 months out of the updated ones. First time I have ever had the lower fairing speakers go bad.

Food for thought.... Despite how much I love the Road Glide and Road King here (and the Road Glide is the bike that still does any significant distance) I've come to thoroughly appreciate the little old FXR for area wide farting around. It could go on distance rides. Even though compared to the other two it's not really a "small" bike at just a little over 500 pounds it's still such an easy ride compared to the others. it's all fun.

Got back from MI yesterday. A great ride back home, 55 degrees when I left my Dad's house in Battle Creek. It got up to 60 just after Fort Wayne and hit 70 at the KY boarder. Hit 80 32 miles from home, Just north of Hariman TN. Only interstate was Marshal MI to Fort Wayne IN, and then Cincinnati to Lexington. Most the time I was on US 27, same route I took up four days earlier.
Weather was perfect for riding. Roads in MI are not so good for riding. Love the state, born and raised there, but the roads beat you to death.
Was afraid I was going to bend a rim.

I often go up 27 when going north. Keeps me out of Knoxville, some great curves and early Sunday morning almost no traffic. I will then either head over to the interstate in Burnside or go all the way to Lexington. Glad you liked it. I have taken the route your talking to Louisville.

Took my Harley CVO Streetglide for the brake fluid recall campaign, just to be told I needed a new ABS module. $800 repair. Told them to flush the fluids and let me have it, than the Service Manager was kind enough to tell me, leave it here let me see what I can do to help. They gave me a courtesy ride home. Next day they did the job for $408. Sometimes
I am just grateful. I know the part is a few hundred dollars. So Thank You Brandon Harley!!!

So you had no codes and nothing to suggest failure (impending or otherwise) before the fluid flush? Dealership then said they'd like $800 and you said no. They then did you a favor and took only $400. And the bike still was throwing no codes nor showing other signs of problem? Sometimes I'm too much of a skeptic.....

The ABS module is mechanical not electronic. As am sure you know the only difference is that if it works it pumps the brakes, if it does not it just wont pump them.

And it's actually both a hydraulic and an electronic component. Fluid manifold controlled by its fancy smart widgets.

You are absolutely correct, if the hydraulic part is the one that fails, it will give no codes. Hence the inability to pump the brakes.

Had mostly dismissed it already but my Road King required service today also. On the side of the road.
About an hour from home pulled out of a small town just after finishing a nice meal. Am pretty sure the extra heft of the meal accounted for the problem. Accelerated away from the one stop light in town and had not throttle. Grip just oozed or eezed with no throttle reaction.
Sh*t.
Pulled over to the skinny shoulder and eyeballed the throttle body and the grip as best I could. Pretty sure the grip had just come unglued from its central core (old cable operated throttle). Sure enough, that's all. Yanked the rubber and chrome part of the ISO grip off and rode home squeezing the skinny inner part that was all still completely in order.
Got home and wiped everything down. Slathered it a bit with Gorilla Glue and slid the pieces back together. Zero dollar repairs don't happen often in the Harley world.

They'll get "firm" before they will eventually get so hard you can't even engage the brakes anymore. You were on your way there. If they replaced with new and got you out for $400 they definitely did you a solid. The cynic in me should be ashamed :drink: !

As noted, NOT on my CVO but did put a couple hundred miles on it yesterday. It was nice in the east TN hills with cooler temps and lower humidity. Rode up to eat breakfast at the pancake pantry in the heart of downtown Gatlinburg. They were finishing up a car show in Pigeon Forge on the way home and saw some nice rides...not much traffic there either. Overall a nice, relaxing day on two wheels.
Saw one of the new CVO triglides coming home through Murville (that's Maryville for the unwashed). It was the white one. Not bad (the other color would be better in my opinion) but that's still a LOT of white to keep clean

Not today but last weekend finally got around to changing rocker box gaskets, rear was leaking but went ahead and replaced to front too while I had it all apart. Also drilled out the oil return holes and installed Rockout rocker lockers. Took it for a test ride and man what a difference! Engine is nice and quiet now. Pro-tip: if you have to remove the rocker boxes on an older model the manual states to use a short Allen wrench to remove the rear cylinder left side bolts I found this to be a total PITA plus you can’t torque with an Allen wrench...so I took and old socket to my bench grinder and cut it down to where the bolt head just fit into the socket with the head bottoming out, worked perfectly and was able to use it to torque those bolts to the proper spec. Also dog bones are virtually required for this project

Good 4 u. Keep us in the loop!

Not a chance for several reasons:
1. No CVO Road Glide
2. No CVO Road Glide Ultra
3. No XM on CVO any more
4. Continued de-content and cost increase
5. Big slide in Quality.
Come on Dave! At least the "other" Dave always gave us his Ten Top Ten Reasons. ;D

The windshield :huepfenlol2: .
It didn't have a windscreen when I bought it. Never had one. Rode it a couple hundred miles right after got it running right and immediately decided I wasn't 23 anymore and I wanted a windshield. The detachable kit I scored had a screen that was taller than I am in the saddle. Riding in the daytime it wasn't that bad. A few times after dark and once in the rain were as you'd expect though. Was out again late last night. When I got home had had enough of the reflections on the screen. So this afternoon spent an hour carefully measuring and marking and double checking the shape followed by five minutes with a jigsaw and ten minutes with a sander. Now it's like baby bear's porridge; just right :2vrolijk_21: .

No vent switches on any touring bikes. Only one fob on standard bikes. I didn't know that xm was gone. The new bikes look silly without the rear shift lever too. I have no idea what they are thinking. :confused5:
-
They are thinking bottom line profit margins. Not customer retention nor care.

yesterday parked it at home... was on the rode for 9 days, 3613. 6 miles... now i have to clean it, and its a mess. and need to order another set of lifters, it rolled 40k on this trip, 20k on the S&Ss other wise its GTG :2vrolijk_21:

Hope to finish wrapping 1/2" ceramic blanket around my Vance and Hines baffles tonight. True Duals. Front pipe went pretty well. Rear pipe doesn't have a rear support bracket before the muffler, so getting that muffler off took some time. It finally slipped off after pushing the loosened clamp forward off of the muffler flare. Hope this deepens the tone a bit. The SERK ran pretty well 1800 miles from Maryland down to Tenn, KY and to Maggie Valley 2 weeks before the CVO party. Lots of nice roads down there. Bobarosa Saloon is becoming a regular stop each year as well! Meeting up with the same friends mid October near Roanoke for a 4 day ride.

Changed the oil after the MV GTG then yesterday changed the grips to the Kahuna Chrome version like were on some 2019 CVOs. I guess I should not have felt up Gary Linkmeyers grips at MV.....
Waiting on the American Elite front tire to come off backorder to swap out both front and rear. Ive got 13500 miles on the rear and its starting to get a little cupped and squirrely in turns with any type of groove in the pavement.....

Well Keith
I think I did actually feel yours up too. :-\
I also got tired of waiting on the front tire to come in and had the new rear installed yesterday. American Elite, again, since I got 13500 miles out the last one and it was really getting bad. Both sides worn just past the wear bars...
Went with no weights and 3 oz of Dynabeads this time...The ride back to the bunker was SMOOOOTH and I cant wait to get the 21500 mile stock front tire off it.

Fred, that's the before picture....where's the after one?
That's the numero uno problem with 129...big trucks are NOT restricted (big, long campers either). That doesn't alleviate the issues with the motorcycle in the wrong lane, however...
And to answer your question, no, thank the good Lord
-
That's the problem with the Dragon. Last trip one guy wanted to do the Dragon but a few of us decided to take the roads to the west side and around. 3 times on the Dragon is enough for me! There are some great twisty roads with less traffic to roll on down that way.
The Ceramic blanket on my baffles and tightening the rear header pipe made a huge difference with decell pop and the hollow sound I was getting. I think I gained a bit of low end torque as well.
We have a nice 4 day trip with friends planned for late next week after we all meet in the Roanoke area. Not much in the way of Fall colors up in here Merry land this year! Gotta love riding this time of year! Brings back memories of riding 2 strokes in the woods as a kid.
Keep um between the ditches!

Again, NOT on my CVO but I did add a couple of shiny bits along with one useful item to the Chieftain this past weekend.
New shiny, much better looking mirrors
-
...and new floorboard inserts and crash bar closeouts. I've got the matching passenger floorboard inserts ordered.
The closeouts are an addition I need for the cool/cold riding and they work great. They are actually stiff with a slight curve built in (I'm guessing fiberglass/plastic insert for the stiffness). Much nicer (in my opinion) than the fiberglass/plastic lowers on the Roadmaster. Those still look like something from a mid 80's Kawasaki brochure. These work as well or better and are much easier to remove/install.
OK, enough about this other brand, back to the regular, scheduled CVO discussions... ;D

Sad day today. Signed the title over to the insurance company this morning. After my Maggie Valley accident last month, the bike was totaled. I know there is a lot of talk about sumping of the M8 bikes, but I had one of the good motors. I had put just under 45,000 miles in the 2 1/2 years I had owned it and no motor issues at all!

Not 100% sure yet. Had hand surgery last week. So it will probably be about 3 months before I'm released to ride. Also back is still an issue, couldn't ride if I wanted to. So I have some time to look at my options. Maybe find a good used garage queen, if not probably new 2020 CVO Limited.

We enjoyed utilizing the Eisenhower Interstate System this past weekend in a quick jaunt over to the western side of the state. We had not been to downtown Memphis in a few years so it was nice seeing a semi-revitalized downtown area from our last visit there. Beale Street was EMPTY Sunday afternoon as you can see from the picture but it's fun seeing all the history there and watching the ducks march at The Peabody. If you haven't seen that, take a leisurely afternoon tea and enjoy their walk.
There and back in two days...it's nice to know that after the health issues, I can still enjoy the saddle time after 980 miles. Gotta get to work on the next big trip... ;D
I ain't ready for a trailer just yet... :2vrolijk_21:

I ordered yet another windshield from John at Freedom Shields! After adding the 13" Legend Revo A's and my new Corbin Solo seat, I found that the current windshield that is on my bike from John is a little short, So I ordered #7 from him. IMHO he has the best quality, wind management, and customer service of anyone in the business. John also gives a discount to anyone who mentions this site. I ordered a 14" Sport Touring in Light Gray tint. It should be here in a week or so.

Just finished a week of riding the Blue Ridge Parkway near Maggie Valley and around the Smokey Mountains so the wife can see leaves change colors about 1k miles total. Color change is slow this year about two weeks behind, so am being "forced" to return in a couple weeks.
Agree on the Freedom Shields, just put a new one on before the trip and worked great and very clear.

Bike has been busy for the past two weeks.
On the Saturday the 12th a woman on a cell in her cage came over on me and hit me. Mess up fairing and engine guard on the left side, and then bike went down on right side. I did not get hurt at all, so I'm thankful.
Then rode said bike down for Biketorberfest, nice 1378 mile trip.
Yesterday dropped the bike off so they could clean it, then today they will be doing the estimates on the bike. Adjuster will go see it Wednesday to make sure he agrees with the dealer on the damage.

Was not at all calm at the time. She split the minute she hit me. Did not get a tag.
That said, after thinking about it, I did calm way down. I have so much to be thankful for. I did not get hurt, the result could have been so much worse. The bike can be replaced or fixed, people can not.

That sucks. Sorry Dave. No matter how proactive we try to be and how much we watch other people's front wheels, heads, and anything else that might help there is some levels of stupid and/or simple error we just can't protect ourselves from. After the fact you and the bike rode away from the incident and that is always worth declaring as a victory. Hope the 'fest was fun and the bike fixes up well for you :2vrolijk_21: .

Dropped it off for the ESP Warranty repair of the heated grips about 6:45 AM (then took a 3 1/2 trip each way with a buddy for him to pick up another used bike for his garage) and picked it up about 3:45pm. The new ones actually have the little nubs on them just like the replaced ones used to 40k miles ago :P

True on riding bike away.
Biketorberfest was very good. Especially Billy Lane's Sons of Speed. A good friend was racing his 1921 board tracker in the 61 antique class. The hot 61 class was really something to watch. The 45 class was fun also. Brittny Olsen is a heck of a racer, and this was her last race. Several other females racing like Jody Periwits, and Rossmyers daughter.
My bike was dropped of for repairs when I got back, 8700 dollars worth of damage.

What all angles do you want? I think I put one or two in this thread a while back. One thing about these fat bars, it's a real pain in the arse to push them real far forward because you need space to get the little screws into the sides of the cluster housing.

The wife and I participated in the Annual Toys For Tots ride in Heath, Ohio on Sunday. Weather was cold in the morning (30's) but got into the High 40's later!!! Had a great time. Had nearly 700 bikes at last count. Out of all the bikes there, I did not see another '19 CVO Road Glide at all... Makes me wonder about final production numbers.

Rode the FXR to a little diner that's worth the trouble about 50 miles from home. Took 90 miles to get there. 140 more to get home. Common Core. Temps in the 60s this afternoon. 24 hours from then 40+ degrees cooler is the forecast with a "wintry mix." Rode yesterday and today though.

No, they had it blocked off. It was wide open for awhile before the Westin was built, even after they came in you could do a lap or two without much worry. Ever since they had a fatality where someone was crossing the road in a golf cart and the guy busting down the back straight plowed through him it hasn’t been very inviting. They do open it up a few times a year for some nice events and I predict one day it will host another race.

My dealer's service manager called me the other day and asked if she could send someone out to pick up my bike free of charge and run it through a multi point check before the warranty ran out (obviously they are a little slow this time of year) . I mentioned that there is a tiny bit of moisture in the speedo as I was racking my brain thinking of what could be done while still under warranty and they concurred and said that they couldn't find anything else that needed attention. Outstanding!
So they ordered a new speedo, brought my bike back to me yesterday, at no cost, and will contact me when it arrives.

Biggs HD outside of San Diego has always picked up and delivered my bikes for me for service and I live 60 miles away form them. Fantastic dealer that I very much appreciate!
-
I'm referring more to the fact of how comforting it is to know that your dealer has your back... With every bike we've owned, prior to the warranty running out our dealer has notified us that it is coming to an end and they would like to check over the entire bike to ensure everything is good before the warranty runs out, and repair what is necessary.
That's great service! :2vrolijk_21:
-
While we have wonderful dealers here in the k'ville and Maryville area, I've never had any of them call, email or otherwise contact me for a final check before the warranty ran out much less come and get it for service and that's going back to 1989. Y'all have some very good dealers... :2vrolijk_21:

I fully agree. Maryville has been great to my wife and I. They have gone to bat for me with the MoCo more than once on issue the with the bike, like getting black fork legs replaced or a seat replaced for wear.
Yet they have never offered to come get a bike or drop it off. That said I am extremely happy with our dealers on the way they treat us.

Oh and by the way they are over 30 miles away from me, so by the time they replace my speedo head they'll have racked up well over 120 miles!

Good place Rob! We were at Blue Parrot on St. George Island a couple of weeks ago on a gorgeous day. The Owl Cafe in Apalachicola has a great upstairs too - not a raw bar but the food is outstanding. Am judging a BBQ contest in Appalach in January. Staying at the Gibson. We enjoy their big porch, a cold beer, a good cigar, and those rocking chairs to watch the world roll on by.
Today will be either Riverside in St. Marks or Seinyard in Panacea.

Just bought an 09 cvo springer softtail. Clutch was gone... removed all dot 4 fluid from reservoir, cleaned well with alchohol filled , bleed and clutch is solid once again. Bike sat since 2011.

It was a nice 7• sunny day today so I unplugged the new Daltran H-D charger rolled the bike out and fired her up threw my leg over and went on a 3hr ride.
Stopped at a roadside layby greasy spoon wagon for a worm up cuppa and bacon roll. Then back on the road with Merle Haggard and Waylon Jennings tunes along with some others.
Got to say (don't know if it's just me) since I changed the lifters over installed the SE quick install tapered pushrods change over the V&H oval slip-on's (that were showing their age been on since 2008) back to the stock slip-on's, removed the V&H fuelpak and plugged back into the ECM the motor is running great it sounds and feels more responsive on the throttle than before, in high gear it has more kick when the throttle is cracked.
All in all a satisfying winter ish days ride out.

Yesterday was a pretty nice day, mid 40's to 53 degrees. So my wife and I went for a nice 180 mile ride though the Smokies and along the Ocoee and Hiawassee rivers. Lots of nice covers and good scenery for us to enjoy. She was on Her 2019 Road Glide Special and me on my 13 CVO King.
-
Wondered if the bike needed gas. A 75 degree day. It didn't. Rode until it did.
-
A new friend of mine gave me a matching painted vent. He just so happens to have the same color bike.
Thank you very much.
-
Checked on my 19 CVO road glide that I was hit while on. Parts have all come in and they will start working on her Today.
-
Removed the wind deflector fasteners that turn brown and rusty I've cleaned them a number of times.
This time cleaned the rust off gave them a coat of clear lacquer then a coat of Enamel Spray Chrome.
Turned out not bad..

2 weeks ago I installed the 117ci big bore kit from Harley. Also did the S&S tc3 oil pump and cam plate. Already had the S&S lifters . Has been a little cold here in NY so hadn't had a chance to put too many miles on it but so far I'm liking it.
-
Sent a set of CVO M8 air cooled heads to WA to be ported and set up for a higher lift cam.

Installed Kahuna heated grips. Tried them out today in 38 degree temps on a 50 mile ride, they worked great.

What's the part number on those grips? Does all you need come in the kit? They look good

Do a Google search for Kahuna heated grips. Around $280 for the kit.

Thats funny, does not fit CVO Models except FXSE. They work just fantastic on my 2019 FTRXSE. I had them installed prior to delivery.

Those are also not stock HD bars in that pix. I thought those grips came on the CVO Limited within the last few years and those are the same bars as the SESG. Dunno.

I'm glad they are close enough match to what comes on the bike its not obvious unless your a CVO owner they are not stock grips. I have found them to be pretty comfortable and they heat well.

Nope, I run 14" Yaffe on every bike since 2012. Very comfortable for me, even on 1000 mile days. The grips will work just fine on stock bars.

Yes these are stock grips for 19 CVO Street Glide and 19 CVO Limited, same with the 2020 bikes.
In 13, I put the heated grips from the CVO limited on my CVO King. In 17 I put the heated grips from the CVO Limited on my CVO Street glide. They always say they do not fit, they always work.
in 18 they said lowers would not work with the CVO road Glide because of the 21 front wheel, they fit just fine.

I believe you have to figure it out for your self, as they are wrong lots.

Rode it! :pepper:
-
The heated grips do fit and are plug and play. The bike is prewired for them and the connectors are under the instrument bezel.
HD customer support also said that the tour pack spoiler lights do not fit a CVO Road Glide either but after looking at the wiring diagrams, I decided that they would. Strange that HD sells the spoiler in the unique silver color.
Installed Kahuna heated grips. Tried them out today in 38 degree temps on a 50 mile ride, they worked great.

Went for a ride last night and was impressed with the light quality, crisp white.
Low Beam, perfect for suburban riding.
High Beam, long distance lighting is good.
Passing Lamps, very wide beam lights up both sides of road like day light.
I was a bit sceptical when I come across them at first but glad I installed them.

My dealer's service manager called me the other day and asked if she could send someone out to pick up my bike free of charge and run it through a multi point check before the warranty ran out (obviously they are a little slow this time of year) . I mentioned that there is a tiny bit of moisture in the speedo as I was racking my brain thinking of what could be done while still under warranty and they concurred and said that they couldn't find anything else that needed attention. Outstanding!
So they ordered a new speedo, brought my bike back to me yesterday, at no cost, and will contact me when the replacement arrives.
Pretty damn good customer service from Barbi at North Cascades Harley.
So, I got a call late last week from North Cascades Harley to tell me that my replacement speedo was finally in. We arranged for them to pick my bike up again Tuesday morning to complete the warranty replacement. They also double checked and tested my battery and charging system just for good measure, and at no charge. All tested good. They brought my bike back to me yesterday afternoon which was the next day.
I kind of expected there to be an underlying reason for them going the extra mile (60+ miles round trip) like the sale of an extended warranty but my skepticism was unwarranted.
Just plain excellent service! Obviously I will be back for my next bike and or anything else I need.
-
Good to hear Rayson. I have a dealer hear in Florida (New Port Richey) that makes a 200 mile round trip for my warranty work and because of that they get every service I need as well as upgrades I do on my bike.
They have several dealers by the same owner. My first CVO was bought from their network in 2006. Mike Rendine is my guy there. Always takes super good care of me.
Great to hear there are others out there!

Spent the morning ordering my fat front tire stuff from Native Custom and a pair of 14" bars from Factory 47 for the Road Glide. Now I'm waiting for the delivery guys.

That fat tire should be real nice on your CVO Road Glide. I'm sure your anxious for the part now.

So 68 degrees yesterday here in Greensboro. Met with some guys and gals after church had a bite to eat then a nice 110 mile ride up close to Hanging rock. I rode the BigDog and at time it was a bit challenging. Nice short sleeve day!

It was a great ride, 271 miles of very scenic roads, winter does allow better views as the leaves do not block the views of the rivers and mountains. We took 19/74 back through the gorge.

Finally got the Spoiler and the wiring all done on the chopped tour-pac. Power locks working great and even added some small LED strips to illuminate inside the tour-pac and shine down into the saddlebags when it's dark! Used a Molex 6 pin connector (18.00 bucks eBay) to keep the whole thing removable.

Mid to upper 60s today. It was great. Took the Road King to a lunch place about an hour away. Bike's battery didn't want to come home. Dammit. Thank gawd for parking lots with a downhill slope. New battery on the way. Almost exactly three years old.

With all the heavy rains for the last two days, and now today. I installed a new air cleaner on the Red Pepper. I also had to the Yaffe plate frame off to put the new year tag on my plate, then re-installed it. Then I had to do some welding on my solo luggage rack as it had broke one of the welds. Got that done. Will use it this coming week for a ride to FL, then when I get back it will have to go to the powder coaters again. May have to look for other bike projects today. This rain is getting ridiculous.
-
What A/C did you go with Dave? Grandtravis on this site may be interested in your stock Heavy Breather if you want to sell it.
There is a rattle can paint that you can use to touch up your repair with that works excellent and is 2nd only to powder coat. It is called "Hammerite" and is made by the makers of KILZ. Really good stuff. You can even spray it into the lid and use a brush or a Qtip to apply it for touch up if necessary.
It's so wet here I can't get out for a ride but supposedly we get a break this coming Sunday and Monday so hopefully the back roads will dry out enough to get out there.

I just replaced the stock filter in the stock heavy breather. That said in a couple weeks or so I will be putting the Heavy Breather Extreme on. So I would probably sell the factory heavy breather.
I guess I will have to look and see this Hammerite made by KILZ as Its only a small area that needs touch up, and the rack is only on the bike when I have luggage on the bike so it would not even be seen.
May ride down to FL Saturday and come home Wednesday.

Come on down Dave. Be happy to see you. 👍. Stuart.

Hoping to find a window to ride out of East TN and start down to Crystal River FL. Trying to miss most the rain and snow. Having to delay the time we leave due to weather so it will be two days down.

I'm way south and east of where you will be. Next time. Unless you will be at bike week. Might be heading up. Stuart.

Will not be able to make bike week this year, part of why I came down now. Will most likely be down in Cape Coral the week before bike week.
The weather got worse so I did not make it out on the bike. Snow covered roads for the first 120 miles of the trip. Then rain the last 100. Figured the truck was safer.

Nice day today in 60’s. Dropped my RGU by an Indy shop I’ve been wanting to try out for steering bearing maintenance and a new comp. Been idling a little rough with a clunk when it shuts down and kind of figured it was due for a compensator. Tech agreed. Guess 35k is not bad for original comp.

I was looking, and have only a couple pictures of her bike. Its a 2019, paint layout very similar to Skunk I had. It is harley colors from 2011, a 3 month run of Psychedelic Purple and Black. I was sure I had more pictures but cant locate them at the moment.

Yesterday, I rode over to the dealer to have the 20K service done and the left hand switch housing replaced due to volume button not working. All good on the service, however they will have to do more troubleshooting as volume button still not working but you can got into settings on the head unit and adjust the volume.
Today I plan to ride down to Elijay GA to have lunch at the Cajun Depot. One route down and a different coming back, should make a nice 200 mile ride.
-
Prior to yesterdays 270 mile Lunch ride to Ellijay GA I installed a plug in the mid frame heat deflector for my heated gear. I have done this on past bikes, but did no want to drill the painted part, but no other way seemed as nice, I tired other ways for several months.
I will be riding the 13 CVO King over to Smoky Mountain HD to enter the Dyno shoot out they are running this week. Will be interesting to see how I do against other twin cams.

Yesterday I did the software update for the WHIM and for the BOOM Sena 20S for the Red Pepper. Today I plan to ride the bike a couple hundred miles and see if the Update helps with Phone volume. I have a Boom 30K coming as I read it has much better battery life.

No. Found out its an issue with the iPhone 11, 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max. When using CarPlay you can answer a call but you will hear nothing, and the other person will not hear you. Same when you make a call. If your not using CarPlay you can barely hear the phone, not loud enough to talk for sure. Harley and Apple both know about the issue. Doesn't matter if your using the 20's or the 30K sena units.
Aggravating to say the least, but I sure can use siri to text with no issue, or tell the map to find some place just fine.

Sold both my bikes: 2017 GSA BMW and my 2017 CVO to the same person. I have been contemplating this for a number of years and FOR NOW it was the correct decision. Guess I will have to play with my jeep.

I spoke with SENA and said the problem is with iOS 13, if you didn’t upgrade or get a new iPhone with it already installed then you’d be good.

I agree partly with that. All of CarPlay works fine with the HD Head Unit and Sena, getting directions, talk to text and so on. Just phone calls do not work.
Why does the new iPhone work fine with a 3 Year old truck thats never had a software update? Why does it work fine with a 2 year old car that never had an update but does not work with a New bike that has had several updates?
Harley had a much worse track recorded of software that doesn't work right than Apple does. 3 and 4 years and Harley still has bugs in its soft ware. Not so with Apple.

My wife and I plan to ride our Bikes to FL today. Hope we can get out of TN before the bad weather comes. Plan to spend a few days riding south FL.

Waited....for a call from the dealer. Had the engine rebuilt last March( ESP for $56 for a total $10,500 CDN)....I reported it as noisy....was told it's not.......it smokes and uses oil......leaks at bottom of jugs......it's torn down now.....waiting for a report.
Wanted to go to a different dealer...but......labour would be at my expense.

The only apple having the issue are the 11, 11Pro and the 11 Pro max. They all do run IOS 13. That said the problem isn't in IOS 13 or the phone or it would not work in all the cars and trucks out there. The only vehicle I have found it to not work with is the Harley.
I can see why Sena would say IOS 13 as that is the only one they are getting complaints on. I doubt they have tested the IOS software on other cars or trucks.

Put 1821 miles on the bike on the FL trip. Snowed a bit on us leaving TN but not bad and not sticking. Then a great trip until we got near Ocala FL Friday. Last 15 miles to Ocala took 95 minutes, interstate was a mess as were all the back roads. Got to Cape Coral FL before noon Saturday and had a great three days there. Perfect weather and some good rides with friends. Nice ride Tuesday up and out of FL until it started raining in Macon, about 45 miles in the rain before we stopped. Then Wednesday the first 120 miles in the rain and the last 100 no rain. A good trip and a safe trip.

Got my trailer checked out, prepped and loaded the bike.

I'll be dropping Red Pepper off at the dealer today. They have to troubleshoot the volume control for the left handle bar. Replaced the left side switch unit and that did not fix it. I'm guessing its in the BCM. Also going to have them look at speedometer as it has drips on the inside, the many model year issues that still is not fixed.

Did your red pepper bike come without heated grips?
:nixweiss:
-
Thanks Guys! Dave you talked me into the heated grips! They were never really on my radar! I am pretty impressed with them so far. They get real hot. Have to set it around 2 or 3 for comfort.
2019 CVO Road Glides did not get factory heated grips because they came with the Defiance Collection and Defiance does not offer any heated grips. Had to go with the Kahuna Collection. Close enough in appearance.
The 2019 CVO Street Glides came with the Kahuna Collection and with OE Heated Grips.

Yes, The CVO Road Glide's have never come with heated grips until the 2020 1/2 bike. The 2015 and 2016 CVO Road Glide ultra did come with heated grips.
The first CVO street glide to come with heated grips was the 2018, Harley said the 2017 CVO street glide was getting them, but it did not.

I have never had mine over 2, as the do get hot.
CVO road glides never came with heated grips even when the collection on the CVO Road Glide was the CVO Limited or CVO Street Glide. I know as I added them to my 12 CVO road Glide using them from the CVO Limited, did the same in 13 for My CVO King. And again with my 17 CVO Street Glide.
18 is the first year the CVO Road Glide used a different collection than the other CVO touring bike, 19 followed suit. 2020 they all use the same collection.

We have had lots of rain in east TN, and another week of rain predicted every day. I did manage to get in an 167 mile ride yesterday to get some groceries and prescriptions. I did get sprinkled on a few times, but nothing serious and it did not go though the leathers. The king performed flawlessly.
Today I'll pick up Red Pepper from the dealer. They fixed the volume control, and have new rotors for the front on order and a new speedometer. Then I'll stop by a friends home and we will start building the engine on Red Pepper.
-
Dropped off the rear rim/tire for some new rubber yesterday at the dealer. Without starting a debate, I'll say that I'm going with an American Elite this time to see if it goes longer without cupping than the HD tire. Will have to update this in about 8k miles. lol

I have American Elite on both my 2103 and 2109 CVO bikes. The 19 has 9K miles on the tire, it is just starting to show signs of cupping where as the HD dunlop shows that at 5K. Still no howl when laid over in a curve like a HD Dunlop. I think I have 7K or more miles left on the tire. We will see. I like the tire.
-
Yesterday we started tearing down the engine on the Red Pepper to build it, this is after just under 5 hours of work. Bike had 22,804 miles on it at the start. Will work on her today until its time to go to DR appointment.

So what will your total build consist of Dave? I assume complete S&S camchest upgrade with their lifters and pushrods? Black lifter blocks and push rod tubes like I did? What cam did you decide on?
Curious minds need to know! :huepfenjump3:
-
Installed Rockout's and a CoolFlow Fan kit. Once I figured out the base circle, the process went ok (btw i must be weak because there was no way I was rolling the tire in 5th even with spark plugs out to move the rockers so I just moved the bike fore and back). CoolFlow fan was pretty easy to get put in and came with all the parts, will see how it works next time I ride in traffic. As a benefit of spending a the weekend that sports died, I did find that my front spark plug must have been cracked as it split in half as soon as the socket touched it (boot may have been holding it together) so replaced them as well.
Bike seems a bit quieter in the rockers and hopefully will keep my leg a bit cooler.

No, not S&S cam chest. Using the 2020 HD 8 lobe oil pump. Most major builders are getting very good results with it. One builder is selling all his used S&S oil pumps as better results with HD latest one.
-
Got a lot done in 3.5 hours yesterday. Time was limited due to DR appointment.
Got the primary apart, old clutch out and then installed the new Recluse Torque drive clutch. It has twice as many plates as stock so way more surface area to handle the increased torque and HP. We will see how it works soon.
(http://www.cvoharley.com/smf/gallery/6353_17_03_20_5_44_45.jpeg)
Then we got the cam chest torn apart, oil pump out, cam out, cam bearings out. Installed new inner cam bearing, then the CR-482 cam was installed. Installed the 2020 HD 8 lobe oil pump, installed the rest of the parts for the cam chest, then the Woods Alpha lifters and S&S ant rotation lifter cuffs.

We spent 11 hours working on putting the motor together yesterday. Very productive.
We got the pistons installed, the S&S cylinders installed, the heads installed with Adjustable rocker arms, the HPI port matched intake and HPI 62 mm throttle body installed also, its almost to good looking to cover. 6.1 injectors in. I also went with black lifter block covers and push rod covers.
(http://www.cvoharley.com/smf/gallery/6353_18_03_20_7_30_28.jpeg)
Motor is together, installed the Heavy Breather extreme, very tight fit with the Fang, about 1/3 inch clearance. However it or the Ventilator extreme is needed to flow enough air. Started right up, and did the first heat cycle.
(http://www.cvoharley.com/smf/gallery/6353_18_03_20_7_12_23.jpeg)
Today I need to get a two more heat cycles done, then a little ride to seat the rings. Also need to put things back on like mid frame heat deflectors, heat shields, floor boards and so on.

Lookin good Dave. Thanks for the update.

... Got the primary apart, old clutch out and then installed the new Recluse Torque drive clutch. It has twice as many plates as stock so way more surface area to handle the increased torque and HP. We will see how it works soon.
I'd like to know more about the Recluse Clutch after you've used it for a while. I am hearing a lot of stuff about these lately. One of my friends even said you don't have to use the clutch anymore at lights? Is that true? Or maybe only true for some models?

Recluse has two clutches for the CVO bikes. I used the Recluse Torque Drive, which works just like your existing clutch. Big difference is all the friction plates and plates are thinner, so it has twice as many of them inside the clutch basket. This gives twice as much surface area for the clutch to develop gripping pressure. Leave pull only a little harder than stock.
They also make an Auto clutch. Yes you can sit at a light in gear and not have the lever in, as rpms go up clutch engages. Clutch lever still works if you want. Not sure all the details but this is it in a nut shell.
-
Well finished putting all the parts on the bike yesterday. I got two more heat cycles done on the bike. Then once cool, started it again and took it for a little ride to seat the rings good. Then I rode her home. I have 62 miles on it. Motor is quiet and smooth, and feels real strong. It does need a tune as its rich below 3000 rpm. I have an appointment to have it Tuned on Tuesday. I'm really anxious to have that done. Hope to get a few more miles on it today.

Looks like it may not rain today. So I hope to get out and put another 100 miles on the red pepper engine, I would like to have over 250 miles on it when it gets tuned on Tuesday. Besides social distancing is easy on a bike.

I've been doing a lot of day rides here in Southern Arizona.
Yesterday I rode to the top of Mt. Lemmon which is 9,100' elevation and only 28 miles from Tucson city limits. It was 74F when I headed up.....got up to Ski Valley up on top and it was 33F. Glad I took my Gerbing heatd gear.
Today I rode up to Madera Canyon. It's only 22 miles from here and only 5,600' elevation but there was snow up there, too. Interestingly, it was 77F down here today when I left around noon. It had to be at least 82F-84F up there in that canyon. All the waterfalls were flowing and the parking lots for both mountains were very crowded (people trying to social distance).
Photos and videos were posted on my fb page.
-
This social distancing has got me riding more. Re-discovering some old roads & up until Friday was taking some nice 100 mile lunch rides.
Now will be taking some nice rides but getting take out to bring home & just heading home. Anyway the weather has been great & all that's going on has given me an incentive to ride more. Good way to clear the head.
-
I figured the same thing. I went by myself on a 200 mile ride yesterday. I'm thinking the virus can't catch me at 70 mph. :'(... I'll probably head out again today. The weather has been great here too... Stuart
-
did 350 miles today, weather was perfect and lots of bikes out. My wife gave me these clear plastic gloves that are very thin to use at fill ups which I dutifully took and intended to toss but when I got to the first station and grabbed my wallet they were there so I figured I would give them a shot. So this (like saran wrap) that didnt hamper me at all and I ended up spilling some gas on my hand and after trowing away the glove couldnt even smell gas.
After all this craziness over doubt I will still use them but was kinda nice and used at 2nd and 3rd fillup.
Was great to get away from the news and work where I had to furlough 50 people on Friday..
-
I did get out yesterday. Great weather and a really nice ride. I couldn't believe how many bikes were out. At least I see people riding and getting away from the bad news on the TV.. Wishing everyone to stay safe. Stuart.
-
We have had lots of rain, pouring again today. Prior to the rain have done some riding for social distancing. Today the bike is going up to Moristown area to be dropped of so it can be tuned tomorrow. Anxious to see and feel the results. More anxious for the rain to go the heck away.

Just bought my first ever CVO so the list was short....
2012 FLHTCUSE with 16K Miles and 2 previous mature Cajun Owners. Very well taken care but...
Replaced the OEM Plugs, Cleaned the SE Air Cleaner, Replaced all 3 Holes with the Redline V-Twin Package...20w50 Eng, Shockproof Pepto Bismal in the Tranny, Redline Primary and new K&N Filter. Redline Fuel Treatment. Brought Shock Pressure up to 35psi. Running 40/36 on the skins per the Manual.
400 miles later I have some observations...1. The SE110 is the noisiest TC I've ever owned. 3 Prior Dynas with an EVO and 2 TC88s never sounded like a Singer Sewing Machine on steroids. The good news is once I swapped out the whatever oil with the Redline 20W50 I could hear the 'Thank You' sounds from the engine. 2. The new NGK Iridium Plugs made a difference in starting and running. All good... 3. A clean Air Filter is a healthy Harley breathing normally. 4. 2 of the guys I ride with swear by the Redline Tranny Shockproof Oil. I now also swear by this stuff. Wish I had used it on my prior Dynas. 5. No ferrous metal on any of the magnetic chip detectors. Usual amount of chain fuzz on the Primary Plug so grateful nothing appears to be coming apart internally. 6. The last thing I did was to install the A.I.M. 84mm Variable Pressure Clutch. Reduced my clutch pull force by about 20% and really improved the engagement oh so smooth... $300. 7. Swapped out the stock mini windshield with an OEM 12" Shield from a guy in our group with an Ultra Classic. So much better and a lot less wind resistance. Probably going to get a Recurve.
However, having now studied the 'Rocker Locker' noise issue and fix, I've decided to see if I can quiet things down a little more with a switch to the Redline 20W60. Harley says no problem to help quiet down the SE110 Twin Cam. NW Florida Summer of 2020? Definitely 80F or above for the 60W to do its thing. Good thing I have some hearing loss from 48 years of flying airplanes and helicopters...
This CVO is a first for me in so many ways and I'm really enjoying it. Cruise Control, Fuel Injection, Rear Air Shocks, Hydraulic Clutch, 6 Speed, Back Rest, Alarm System, Remote FOB, Factory HP SE Exhaust System, Factory Communications System, Factory Sound System, R&P Cup Holders, etc...
Definitely the heaviest Harley I've ever ridden and yet it handles really well both Solo and with a Pax.
I'm done for now...

Picked up bike at Barne's in Langford. I was the only customer there.
After last years ESP rebuild it was 'smoking'.....so....new rings and valve seals......cylinders honed.......and another new compensator....and a few other small things..... $2600 of the $3200 CDN price of a 5 year extension of the ESP (w/ tire and wheel) recovered.....so far!
And ....$3200 cdn is the best price we could find ....I seem to remember some dealers asking $4400 for 5 years w/T&W
Now, both our social distancing machines are ready to roll!

Just wondering when you mentioned noise. How many total miles? And when were the lifters replaced?
-
Picked up my red pepper from the Tuner yesterday. The build came out great its 163 HP and 167 Torque, posted dyno run in M8 section.
Hope the roads dry out today so I can go ride it now that it has been properly tuned.

Like the title says, what did you do to or on your CVO today?
Never once had to adjust/tighten my 3 previous Dynas' Jiffy Stands. My luck ran out with my 2012 CVO Ultra Classic. However, a VERY easy cure for what ails that loose Jiffy Stand IMHO. 1/2" Socket on the Retention Bolt (Locking Clamp is undamaged) and OMG...Loose would be an understatement. Tightened and then Torqued to 50ft/lbs.
Night and Day difference on the Bike now. Turn the wheel left to right, lock to lock, and NO tip over threat anymore.
Better late than never. Whole process took 5-7 minutes.

Well, I put 195 miles on the Red Pepper build yesterday. Wow, rides great. Spent most the ride in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains riding nice hilly twisty roads. Bike is very well mannered and easy to ride. It pulls from most any RPM so its easy to ride the curves. 75 mph roll on power is Fantastic, no need to down shift to pass a line of cars. I will be riding her to the DR office today and hopefully a nice two or three hour ride after. Very happy with this build.

Rob,
The bike is very smooth, throttle is very linear. Rides like a stock bike in town with more power. Yesterday I put 130 more miles on it, and first time on interstate for 20 miles. Rides great at 75 mph, load of roll on power. I have not yet found any issues with ride-ability, but only have 325 miles on it since the tune. I honestly think it will be better and easier to ride in all situations than it was stock.
My 13 King is that way, way easier and better to ride then stock. Same people involved in the build of my 13 King as this bike.
I Plan to ride some more today to keep practicing social distancing, and because it will be almost 80 hear in east TN.
-
Nice build, Dave. Great numbers and those guys up around Morristown sure can build/tune a Harley motor. Have they gotten into Indians yet? I'm guessing you plan to keep the '19 for a while longer now?
Yep, wonderful day yesterday and while it may be a bit more cloudy today, temps should be great. You may have to dodge a few rain drops but with that motor, you could just outrun them... :2vrolijk_21:

Can you solder it up and put it back together for a spare?
-
Use some solder braid to get all of that old low grade crappy solder off the joint, then a dab of Flux and some high grade silver solder and better than new! The crappy solder does not hold up well under higher temp load areas.

Howard,
Was a nice day, never got sprinkled on. Rode TN 30 out to Fall Creek Falls, then meandered up to US 70 for the ride home. Was going to stop at Ozone Falls but I have never seen so many people their in my life, to packed to practice social distancing. Ended up with a nice 218 mile ride.
Plan to ride today with some friends and do a brown bag Lunch. This way we can practice more social distancing. Carry hand sanitizer in saddle bag for after pumping gas or anything else I may touch.

Planned to ride yesterday but the bad storms left a big tree across my drive way and two other that were topped. Live on a long dead end, need a chain saw to get out my road. Now power from 0500 until 1900.
Today I have to change the oil in Rep Pepper. Then Ill ride her to the DR, but not much more as I have lots of yard clean up to go

Today I have to change the oil in Rep Pepper. Then Ill ride her to the DR, but not much more as I have lots of yard clean up to go
Someone posted on Facebook and no one ever lies on Facebook LOL that the Charahola Skyway is closed at the NC boarder? Just wandering if it is closed. Also at Deals gap at the NC boarder.

Its not a hoax. Its is true. It on local news, also know people how have seen the blocks in person.

Plan to ride to the DR office today, then to the Grocery store and maybe if all goes as planned a little 80 mile loop or so.

Howard,
Was a nice day, never got sprinkled on. Rode TN 30 out to Fall Creek Falls, then meandered up to US 70 for the ride home. Was going to stop at Ozone Falls but I have never seen so many people their in my life, to packed to practice social distancing. Ended up with a nice 218 mile ride.
Plan to ride today with some friends and do a brown bag Lunch. This way we can practice more social distancing. Carry hand sanitizer in saddle bag for after pumping gas or anything else I may touch.
Bike is lookin great Dave ! Nice that you can get out and enjoy the new build. Also, happy to see that you are practicing the " Social Distancing " and being responsible. It's sad to see that many people aren't getting the message.
Take care,
Ride safe...
Joe :)

Well two of us had a brown-bag lunch ride planned for today. Take a lunch and drink, ride 100 miles or so, have a nice picnic lunch then ride another 150 miles. Good way to get out, and still stay 10 feet or more apart. However our Governor put a stop to that yesterday afternoon with a stay home order.
We can only go out for essentials. Guess I could call in a prescription 100 miles or so away and go get it on the bike....
-
Well.... we needed a Easter Ham, sooooo..... jumped on the bike and went to the store - of course it was the one that was 78 miles away one way vs the one 4 miles away. Got the ham and went for a nice long ride back the scenic way. It was great to get out. No one has ever said you HAVE TO go to the nearest grocery store that I know of....
-
We have a stay at home order in Ohio also only allowed out for essential needs. Our governor said it was okay to take a bike ride so I did a 150 mile bike ride in Ohio today.

It will only last a short while longer I'm sure. These morons that are taking advantage of the "go for a walk and enjoy the parks" are going out in hoards. Some places look like lines at an amusement park the trails are so packed.
-
Yes the parks are crowded here also. What gets me is places like Cosco are only allowing so many people in the store at a time but they are lined up outside next to each other and not 6 feet apart. Don’t know what they are thinking.

And in Florida it’s okay to attend church now AFTER the governor “shut us down” (or whatever you want to call it) but restaurants remained closed other than take out or delivery and I can’t have a meeting with my company because there are more than 10 people.

Well I have learned with the help of a Friend our Stay At Home order does allow for motorcycle rides, groups of 10 or less. Must follow CDC social distancing guide lines. So a few of us plan to go for a ride today and have a bag lunch.

there seem to be a lot of church groups insisting on big meetings.. all the early cases in korea were from a church, 70 folks from one church seriously ill, two funerals led to dozens of cases and a few more funerals. "xxxx deity will protect me"... there is a old joke about the guy on the roof in a flood, refused the boat, refused the helicopter. gets to heaven and asks why he was not saved. i sent a boat, i sent a helicopter what more could i do?. folks need to stay 6 ft apart, wash hands, don't touch stuff and then touch face. its simple. bike ride, zero problem except at the gas station. ill have mine together today, ride tomorrow afternoon when its 60....

I installed a H-D fan assisted oil cooler, CD Pro Beam, ES Vent Screens, Ciro Fang Headlight Bezels and their Highway Pegs on my 2019 CVO RG. Been procrastinating for a while, felt good to get it done. Now thinking about Fullsac 2.25 cores next.
Stay healthy

left very early to do about a 300 mile ride and was feeling very guilty when all parks/campgrounds/national trails were closed and blocked off and roads were empty. about 9AM I started seeing other bikes on the road until by late morning bikes and cars all over. One thing I didnt think about was there was no bathroom available anywhere. the sign "dead end" took on a whole new meaning..
Bike ran great and certainly didnt see any cops anywhere so got to have a bit of "fun" when I got way out in BFE--

Do you have the H-D part number for the fan assisted oil cooler that fits the 19 CVO RG? How hard was the instal? I am sure the fang had to come off completely to install it.
I have the fullsac headpipe and 2.25 cores on both my 13 CVO King and my 19 CVO RG. Very good choice.
Hope to ride to the DR's office today, and maybe a short ride after.

I've had this on my wish list but have not pulled the trigger yet. I have not installed one on a CVO but I have installed the standard oil cooler on a Road Glide Special for my Son In Law and it was VERY EASY. I noted at the time that the harness for the fan is already there and just plugged off. Only difference might be dealing with the fang but I think that the lower sections are pretty easy to remove.

Compared to what you have done to your bike Dave its a piece of cake! I have been following your build and I am very impressed. Not sure I am ready to go there yet but thinking about it.
Not sure if you could remove the chin spoiler without removing the side fairing spoiler. For me I needed to remove the outer fairing so that came off first then the fang spoiler then the chin spoiler. All the stock plumbing is used with the exception of a couple of hose clamps. There are two T27 screws holding the oil cooler in place. The one on the right side requires a tight access drive wrench to remove. I bought the fan assisted oil cooler from from Surdyke for $271.00. The part # is 62700204.
Did you have Fullsac's power cores on without their headpipe. If so how did they sound. Did you use their Techmat Blankets as well.
-
Dave - putting on the fan assist oil cooler is pretty straight forward. Hardest part I thought was dealing with the fang pieces parts and breaking the contact seal between the hoses and the pipes on the cooler. I used a real tiny screw driver inserted between the two to break that seal. Set apart some me-time in the garage, put it on the lift and I didnt care how much time it took. I would make a terrible paid mechanic because I take too much time to do things, but it is good therapy and I enjoy doing it. Works great. You do have to get it activated at a dealer though. You also then have a spare oil cooler in case a rock takes one out - dont know why they dont come with a protective metal screen since it is in the danger zone behind the front wheel

i change out the lifters, S&Ss came out... they looked great. put Johnsons in this time, so good to go till it hits 62k ?? now im going to order a set commander 3s then ride it like a rental.... and maybe give it a bath :nixweiss:

Thanks for the part number. Yes, I know the plug is there, you just have to toggle to fan to on in the bike software. Fang is a difficult to remove and a bigger pain to get back on.

Okay on removing the fang, sure do not want to do it again but I am sure I will need the oil cooler. Fan can be removed with out removing any of the fairing, but you start at fairing and work down.
Yes I have used the power cores, 2.25 both with out his head pipe and with his head pipe. The sound pretty good on the stock head pipe, not to loud. Nice at cruise but when you crack the throttle they sound nice. Yes I use the tech mat and screens to hold it in place, I think it sounds better.

I put 65 miles on the 13 CVO King, first time I have rode it since I finished the build on the 19 CVO. The King still has plenty of power with its build and is a blast to ride.
Today I'll hopefully ride the CVO RG for a couple essential trips if it quits raining. I need to wash it also.

Nothing...but did a 5,000 mile service on my dad’s 2003 Road King Classic, getting it ready for our annual trip to the Smokies (if we can still go by mid-May). Took it for a 25 mile hot-lap, you know “just to make sure it’s good-to-go.” He bought it new in 03 and it’s an absolute cream puff, a real joy to ride! He’s 71 now and still super-pumped about our annual ride! Sadly, he mentioned to me that this was likely my last time to service it for him, that next time it’ll likely be mine. I hope he’s wrong and puts another 35,000 miles on it!

I got both bikes washed yesterday. Then I rode the CVO RG to DR and other needs for a total of 104 miles.
Today going to Ride again with a few friends and practice social distancing with a picnic lunch.

Roads are not busy, gas is cheap, weather is great. After the rain clears this morning will ride for a couple of hours or so.
Riding mostly favorite local roads & tried a few new ones but so far they have been dead ends or turned into rough rutted messes. It's all good, wondered where some of them went now I know.

Ended up riding 258 miles on the CVO RG yesterday with 9 friends, so following social distancing rules. Nice picnic lunch. Got home, and realized I will not be riding the RG again until it gets new rubber in the back, there is no tread at all left.
I will be ordering a new Dunlop American elite for the CVO RG today.
I also plan to get the CVO King out and take her for a nice ride today.

How many miles did you get on that rear tire Dave?

How many miles did you get on that rear tire Dave?
The factory rear I got 12,500 miles out of. It was howling in the curves bad by 6K miles, and you could see the cupping. This is the second rear, and it is an American Elite. I got 13K out of it, it is bald from chicken strip to chicken strip which are very small chicken strips. This tire never ever howled in the curves and I never saw cupping. Last 2K miles on this tire were after I built the motor.
I thought I would get a little longer wear out of the American Elite. Was told I need to run 42 in the rear, so I will try that this time, as I ran 40 in the rear this time.
Raining today so no riding today. Dang.

Dave, it’s good to hear you never had the cupping problem with the American Elite, I will try that next time. I have had the same cupping problem on my 13, 16, and now my 19 CVO Ultras. I have found out over the years and miles that if I run 40lbs. in the front and 50lbs in the rear cold pressure they cup a whole lot less. Before everyone jumps my butt about over inflated rear tire I’m not telling anyone to do that it just works for me. On my 13 I only got around 13,000 miles on the rear tire, since then I have had a BSR almost all of the time and now am getting around 23,000 miles on a rear tire. I guess the extra 110lbs keeps the tire contact to the road so less skipping at speed. I did talk to a Dunlop rep at Daytona and he said Harley’s trad design is different then the Elite and maybe that is why the cup.

Rode the CVO King 136 miles yesterday and visited along the river with a friend for a cigar while maintaining social distance.
Today we have about 8 bikes meeting up for a ride down some good twisty roads, then a picnic lunch overlooking a lake, then ride some more after. Again small group under the max of ten and we will stay more than 6 feet apart.
I agree this is to keep my mental health in good shape.

Well I noticed the back end get loose on a couple down shifts in hard curves last ride on the CVO RG, so when I got home I ordered a new American Elite to replace the one on the bike. So yesterday with the help of a friend we got the new one installed.

If you plan to remove the tour pack it’s 4 bolts and some wires. Problem is you end up with an ugly mounting rack with an amp mounted underneath IIRC.
It CAN be done but It will probably take some $$$ and some searching to get the rear looking good.
I deleted my tour pack on a similar 2010 bike years ago and it turned out nice. Just took some creative parts changing.
Good luck.

Donlop American elite was on it, and what I put back on, they don't cup near like the Junk that comes on the bike. Wear is slightly better, cost is a lot less.
13K miles on the tire. That was at 40psi, going up to 42 they say it will help tread life.
Last 2k miles tread went very fast. Was not even at wear bars then, looked like 3000 to 3500 miles left in it, boy was I wrong.

Cmon Dave. Not gooood to ride on a tire like that. I worry about you buddy. Stuart. 😨
I did a good tire inspection 2000 miles earlier. Not on wear bars looked like 3000 miles plus left of tread. It went fast. Noticed is get squirrels on tow downshifts in curves. Checked tire and first stop, dropped out of ride and went home.
I try to change them when just getting to wear bars. They the most worn I have ever let a tire on a motorcycle get.

I have found the same wear pattern on mine also.
Got a American Elite Front coming this week. The oem tires seem to wear a little different than the AE.
Mine always seem to “sing” when miles pile up. AE’s not so much, maybe the tread pattern or something?
I’ve been pretty satisfied with the AE over the years.

I was averaging about 7500 miles on my OEM Dunlops, at 14500 miles (after 2 sets) I went to the Dunlop Elites on the advice of Terry at Beach Customs in Little River SC (Myrtle Beach). Originally I thought 40lbs was too much, and after 5000 miles on them, they look and perform great. I won't let them get to the point that Dave did, but 42 lbs seems like a lot? It is a pretty stiff ride for me now, and soon will be looking at some suspension upgrades.

Dave can you point me to your supplier for "a lot less". I tried a few weeks back for a bit and the ones for my FLTRUSE are $340(rear) which is more than the stock Dunlop. Dealer did give me 10% off the AE a month or so ago but they've always given me 20% off the stock Dunlop. Hoping this one is worth the extra money.

Took a long meandering ride that for us was essential to the local Harley shop that sold to a new owner last month to sign up for their new loyalty program. Lots of changes, lots fewer employees & the ones that were still there were happy to be employed still. Lots & lots of bikes & heard they were selling some. This spring the weather has been outstanding, way better than usual. If things were normal am guessing they would be having a much, much better sales year. Biggest change was to combine the Service Dept. with the Parts Dept.
On the way home decided to take some little country lane roads I had not been on in a good while. Meandered up into Georgia with No Particular Place To Go in mind. Turned off on what used to be a nice little tree canopied curvy country road that intersects with another one just like it. Should have been about 20-30 miles of no traffic, farm houses with lots of trees & ponds & occasional tree canopies over meandering roads After about 2-3 miles of loose asphalt, teeth jarring pot holes that were hit while missing bigger potholes, and tree roots under asphalt, I changed my mind & at the first opportunity changed roads. South Jawjah roads appear to get repaired by a dart board method that must be decided by who got elected Road Commissioner in what area. Roads were still nice as to scenery but miserable as to riding. Ended up all good - a day riding is better than a day not riding.
-
Today it rained - nothing.
Tomorrow a ride to the coast with friends for a take out dinner from a family seafood place that we will take to a nice little waterside park.
-
Wheeled it out of the garage. Started it up. Sat on it. Looked at it. Pushed it back in and hooked it up to a battery tender.
Beautiful weather all week in the UK. 66 degrees F this afternoon. Going to sit out in the garden with a beer now and dream of better days to come.
Stay safe and well everyone.

Hogworkz headlight & driving lights! Holy smokes they’re BRIGHT!

Picked up my rain sock for the extreme heavy breather yesterday. I also ordered the fan assisted oil cooler for the Red Pepper. Hope to get a short ride in after the dr visit this am.
-
I just installed the fan assisted oil cooler on mine over the weekend. Pretty easy job! I had the dealer flash it for the fan when I had it in there for the Headlight issue. After that it set a Check engine Light for Cooling Fan Circuit Open (DTC 1693) but other than that was fine. Then when I installed the fan she was good to go.

Nice to hear it was an easy job. Hopefully not long and mine will arrive for me to install.

Sad but for $42k and a 117 motor should have came standard.

Got the C3s and some galfer rotors on... front

And the rear.... this thing is meaty looking ...

Agree, or you should have at least been able to just buy the fan like you could for 18. But no the fan that fits the 18 does not work with the 19.
-

That's for sure

The 15 got New Sneakers - Michelin Commander III front and rear, Ohlin Cartridges for the Front Shocks, push button start for the starter, Mounted the 595 Zumo, D&D Exhaust, Fairing Switches to support the Moto Lights (Chrome) on Calipers (Hopefully these will go on early next week).

I'd been waiting to start this project this project for awhile now. Wanted a couple of completely uninterrupted days. That didn't happen, or hasn't happened, or something. Anyway, today finally really got in to it. Hopefully back together tomorrow.
My old Road Glide. The bike that is the single most reliable, don't leak, always runs, just don't mess with because you don't fix it if it ain't broken bike I've ever had. For the first time since 2008 I'm messing with the engine.
Top end is off, the gear drive and Mackie cams are out and stuck tape all over the inside of the cam chest late this afternoon.

Then re-shaped a little metal....

Then cleaned up the mess....

Then, oh boy, the bigguns fit !! :pineapple:

Every time I use that little rotary cutter I'm pleasantly surprised by how clean a job it does. Touched up the cutting bit before beginning today just to know it was sharp. But the little bastard just does nice work. I always emery paper the bottom lip of the lifter bores after using; just because I'm anal about it as much as anything. The tool leaves nice clean edges though. It would have been fine without my emery paper touch-ups.

Yesterday another forum member led us on a great ride through the hils of east TN and a little bit of NC. The ride was about 230 miles. Nine bikes total, 5 road glides. There were not two of any other model. All said my wife and I rode a total of 345 miles yesterday. I will be leading a club ride today of just over 200 miles.
-
Rode it to work. Just waiting for the looonnnggggg ride home in good weather.

I had the Road King about 150 miles this morning. FXR for about a 100 last night and probably ride it again this evening. Not kidding when I say were it not for the bikes this lockdown chit would be much much worse to deal with.
-
Yes. Having a bike to ride these past few weeks has been a great way to clear the cobwebs. Always the case but much more so lately because the cobwebs have cobwebs on some days.
-
Bike has helped me keep sanity during the lock down. You can sure tell TN is in Phase 1 of opening as there has been way more traffic Friday and Saturday than the last few weeks. Fall Creek Falls State park was packed saturday not a parking spot, a week ago I was the only one there.
Great ride yesterday, another 307 mile put on the bike.

Cool looking seat LUVGUN, who makes it?

Took an extra long ride to a nursery instead of a 20 minute ride.
Not a baby nursery, a plant nursery.
-
Plan to ride today with the group I rode with last week with another forum member and friend. Should be around 200 miles up to Pickket state park for a picnic lunch.
-
I took all the winter covers off, checked the oil, and air in the tires, gave it a good spring cleaning and then went out for a nice cool one hour ride :2vrolijk_21: :pepper: :pepper: :pepper:
-
Installing new brake pads to front and rear and change the fluid. I'll be stretching it out over a few days to keep myself occupied while were still on lockdown n
-
Had another 45 minutes loose this afternoon. So put the cam plate assembly together for the Road Glide. If Saturday stays unoccupied will be the new top end back on it then. Keeping fingers crossed nothing bites me in the ass.
-
I'm washing the Red Pepper this morning. Then leading my club on a 200 mile ride through the hills of East TN and along the Ocoee river, going to be a cool but sunny day.
-
Riding with a group to the coast for seafood, about 250 round trip. Temps in the 60s-70s. After that it's happy hour back here at another riding buddie's home.
-
Riding over to Dr's visit this morning. Then over to SMHD to have the 25K service done with 27K on the bike. Also getting the new front rotors installed and the new speedometer. This covid delayed my new rotor by 6K miles. As they were ordered with 20,560 miles on the bike. Sure will be nice to have good front rotors for about 7K miles.....
-
Got farther than this while messing around for a few hours last night. Both sides off, both sides on, roller rockers installed in the supports, etc etc etc. I just liked the side by side comparison.
-
That is so cool love the look Billy
-
Rode to the lake to catch up with some riding buddies. Had not seen most of them since early March. Good times, good friends, icy cold beverages, and good food.
-
Took a great ride with a couple of club brothers, 298 miles in the beauty of east TN and West NC. We took the Cherohala Skyway from TN to NC, then got on 129 north to Deals Gap. Had lunch, place was packed. Then we took Moonshiner 28 towards Bryson city, and hoped on 19/74 through the Nantahala River gorger down to Mupphy and onto 64 along the Ocoee River, the 30 north to Reliance, really nice now that its been repaired. Then 163 and Lamontville Road back to our start. Started out in the 60's and was 79 when we finish.

I recently left Wilmington NC for Murphy for a little hill riding out that way....beautiful country! The trip was a little over 480 miles (all back roads mostly through SC). A day to relax and rest up after that 10 hour ride. Spent a few days with my cuz and did some riding, spent some time at http://chevellerestaurants.com/ (http://chevellerestaurants.com/) ....great local sports bar and then rode most of those roads and routes Dave mentioned. Between some bad gas and the plethora of crotch rockets, I was definitely out of my element!! Now might be the perfect time to head back that way for a few days and get re-acquainted with the area.

Went for lill ride ... and trying to plan a trip in couple weeks away , might have to head out your way Dave , sounds like

Pulled fairing to fix a speaker wire and tidy up in there. Also replaced that rubber trim running down between the fairings. Put my heel shifter back on.

Area does have great riding. That is why I never ride the dragon on a Friday, Saturday, Sunday or Monday, to many crotch rockets. Not much to see on it anyway, many of the other roads are much better.

Its a great area to ride. Many very good roads in East TN, West N.C and North GA. Lucky its my local rides for me.
Today will be leading a club ride with a Picnic lunch at Frozenhead State Park, then up the devils Triangle to Brushy Mountain Penitentiary for a tour, then we will continue on Devils Triangle. Should be a nice day and fun ride.

Riding on a 100 mile donut run with 3 other couples.

Came up to the Smokies for a week of riding, weather was nice Sunday and most of yesterday but had to ride back to Pigeon Forge from Deals Gap in the rain and the rest of the week looks like a total washout. Ninth year of doing this trip and have always hit a little rain here and there but I have always expected that we were eventually going to have a week like this.
So far 2020 has been a horrible year (pandemic, losing loved ones, lost income, home repairs, and now this), trying to count my blessings and stay positive but I need a break from all the hits. Praying for better days ahead.

Been messing with child #2 since I brought it home last Thursday. Have had the fairing off twice to fix minor things. I forgot how much fun putting this fairing back on but after cleaning up some wiring and getting it out of the way, I'm back down to 3-4 tries to get it hung on the hooks. I did get a chance to ride it to work last Saturday and then get a few miles on it with my brother after work. Title work is done but no plates yet. Sheriff said it's okay as long as I have my title receipt with me. BMV doesn't open back up until the 26th so I made my own plate. Still needs some TLC but it'll be in top shape as time allows.

Yup :2vrolijk_21: Been wanting one of these for 8 years since I first saw one. Right place at the right time sort of thing. I'll use this one for mostly solo riding. Work, day trips with the guys and stuff. Keeping the Ultra for two up and touring.

I feel your pain on the weather. Looks like we will get a wet ride to Eureka Springs AR, a wet three days there and a wet ride home. Hopefully you will get some breaks in the weather so you can get out and ride.
Your 2020 sounds just like mine, I have had to deal with everything you have listed. I'm staying positive as I still do have lots to be thankful for, hopefully you do to.

Mike, beautiful new to you 12 SERG. Looks very nice.
Well yesterday I updated the software for the boom on my 19 CVO RG. After 7 months Harley finally fixed it so my iPhone 11 Pro can make and receive phone calls. Very happy about this. They also added more apps and stuff still need to check it all out.
I also installed the fan assisted oil cooler. Not a bad job at all, hardest part was reinstalling the Fang. I did not use the supplied new oil hoses as the old ones are perfectly good and the same hoses. I would have had to remove exhaust to replace one of the lines, not worth it.
-
Installation complete, now I need rain to stop and have dealer enable the fan.

Thank you Dave, today looks a little better so we’re going to try to log some miles. I know you’re dealing with something that is much more serious than all my gripes combined and I’m praying for you. I don’t know if you’re home this week but each time we pass a group I try to see if that Red Pepper is in the pack. Anyway, I hope the weather cooperates for your trip. Be safe.

Thanks SIKBIRD,
You won't see my bike in the area until Monday evening now.
In the process of packing the bike. At 7:30 am we will be heading west to Eureka Springs AR. Will be riding with a few Motor Maids, including my wife. Should be interesting as its their ride, I'm just riding with them. If weather will cooperate North West AR is a great area to ride, which is why I decided to go with my wife.

Been raining all week! Wax on wax off.....When it does clear up (maybe Saturday) I'll head out. Trouble is now it is so freaking clean and shinny, I really want to keep it looking great for a little while. I usually wipe it down after a couple rides, to make detailing easier, but it hasn't looked this good for awhile

Did a 3 hole oil change on Emma Jane yesterday

Downloaded Android Auto, added a new Klock Werks windshield and moved the XM antenna outside the fairing. Then headed out for about a 250 mile ride.
1-Android Auto worked perfectly paired with my Samsung S9. I was able to start the app with google maps, listen to XM through the HD module and google maps would lower that radio volume to give me directions.
2-New windshield is the correct height and really made a difference in the comfort level of my ride.
3-Moving the XM antenna I did not lose service over the 250 mile ride including many back roads.

Spent the last three days riding the Red Pepper. Every day had a 50% chance of rain or higher. Got a few light Sprinkles Thursday, no need for rain gear and did not get wet. Friday light rain first two hours, then a gully washer for 30 minutes, then the rest was a great day. Saturday was a perfect day riding around Eureka Springs area and Pig Trail, then yesterday a nice ride home. 1530 miles. Needs a wash and new front tire now.

glad that Red Pepper is giving you nothing but smiles! Got the tracking number for my cylinder heads from Don this morning, so final assembly is just around the corner! We've had tons of rain here in NC, and this week there's a 60% or higher chance of rain until Sunday. Ugh!
-
They predicted 50% or more chance of rain daily for our Eureka Springs trip, got one down pour most was good weather. Rain all week here too. Today is like 50%.
Will be riding Red pepper to DR office this am, when done there over to SMHD. Need to have the front tire replaced prior to this week ends ride. This tire got the lowest front tire milage ever, only 10K miles. Sitting on seat the left side has lot or tread, but the right side is on wear bars. Pressure is always monitored and kept correct.
Picture on Pig trail, my bike, then wife's bike then Nephews bike. Had a good time with them over the week end.

It was a good CVO morning to do something. Rain yesterday, rain later today, rain the next day, rain on the overmorrow, rain seemingly forever. This morning no rain though. Cool, mostly broken clouds.
About 6:30 left on the Road King. Had to break in its new oil and filter change that gone done a couple nights ago. Oh yeah, also had to finish breaking in the new SAC grips put on it the same night. Bike was happy this morning. We did well and killed a tank of fuel.
About 8:45 left again on the Road Glide. Stretching it out harder the first time since the new engine work. Sounded and felt really good. Bike was happy this morning. We did well and killed most of a tank of fuel.
About 11:00 left on the FXR. Just 'cause. Going from the Road Glide to the FXR is like swapping to underwear that's sewn to fit in an entirely different way. Fortunately both bikes are dialed in to fit me well. Going from the re-worked Road Glide engine to the Evo is also interesting. Fortunately the FXR doesn't weigh much; so it's all good. Bike was happy this morning. We did well and killed 2/3rd of a tank of fuel.
Got bike an hour ago. FXR on the lift now for its spring oil change and any other service I can think of to do to it. Ooh, I think I'm finally going to get ambitious and take the 20 year oil lines off it to replace with new. Off to the parts store for some 3/8 line rated for oils.....

All in one day is rare Phil. All in the same morning and actually get a 100 miles on each even more. No matter what the cycle they always get their turn though. If not the one that missed a turn gets pissed off; and that's never good.

Got bike packed and ready to ride over to Little Switzerland, NC this morning. Going to spend two night and do some riding there with a lot of friends. Should be fun.

More work on the '12. CD front turn signals and CD brake flasher module. New style CD TS vs the CD older style on my '15. Quite a bit of difference. Also changed the kickstand to an eBay one that the foot Tang wasn't almost flattened. Picked up some new chrome and black washers for the 4 point docking station on the back. Cleaned up those screws with some PB blaster and steel wool. They cleaned up well and look a lot better than the rusty ones that were on there.

Rode the across Smoky Mountain National Park, then the Parkway up to Little Switzerland NC on Friday. Saturday rode the Rattler and the Devils Whip and some other good twisty NC roads. Sunday we took good twisty roads back to TN and Barbarossa Saloon along the river then home. 635 miles of curves over three days, 44 bikes. A good time.
Today I'll ride the King to the DR, and then on some local Errands.

Again, NOT on my CVO but with a fellow CVO'er...rode up to the foothills yesterday, enjoyed a nice catfish dinner at Huck Finns and then the long way home. We didn't put many miles (around 150) but it was a great day to be out and riding. Low humidity, not a cloud in the sky and great company.
We did stop at SMHD (first time I've been in a HD dealer in way over a year) and while there was quite a bit of traffic, I never heard the bell ring (they ring the bell, toot horns and such when someone purchases a bike). Not hearing the bell was very different. They had two 2020 CVO's and a few used CVO's and lots of 2020's of various models. Still, with all that foot traffic, youdathunk they would have sold something with a motor instead of just t-shirts...well, also a pair of boots that Vickie really liked :2vrolijk_21:

Ran out of gas on the 13 CVO King yesterday morning leaving home. Range said I had 38 miles left. Gas station in town is 20 miles from home. At 18.5 miles from home I was out of gas. Not happy at all about that, I'll never believe the range on this bike again for sure. 3rd time in my life running out of gas, second time on this bike, happened in 14 same thing range lied and I forgot about it. Good ride after that about 80 miles doing errands.
Will be riding it again today for some errands and an appointment.

Sold it! Well, one of them anyway, the 13 Ultra CVO is gone. Did not get what it might be worth but I got enough for it to make it worth selling.

First time in a long time I've taken an extended ride without lowers. I use to poke at riders with windshields. ;D

I used to habitually take the lowers off in the spring and put them back on in late fall. The bike is noticeably warmer in the saddle with the lowers on. Then maybe six years ago didn't put them on that fall. They ain't been back on since. Stored nice and safe though.

Just another reason why I have always relied on resetting my "B" trip meter every time I fill up. Having said that I have run way more than what the "Range" has told me I had left in the tank.
Sorry to hear of your troubles and hopefully you will now be 3x's lucky and that is the last time you run out.

Added bugs. Removed said bugs.

I do reset the b trip meter every fill up. Part of the problem is I had been riding Red Pepper for the last month. When range on her gets to 20 miles left I can usually add .8 to 1 gallon of gas. So I'm thinking 38 miles left to go 20 is no issue. Would still have at least 1/2 gallon in tank. Boy was I wrong.
I truly hate running out of gas. I sure hope it never happens again.

Yea, it's been awhile... first met you @ '05 Va. HOG Rally and I think the last time I saw you was on the way to MV in '06 when Otis and I stopped by. Right now doubt I'll be making it to W.Va next month but you never know there has been a "mystery" guest show up there before. :D

This morning, after the rain stopped, I anti-social distanced for about 125 miles on the Road Glide. 72 degrees. This afternoon just got home from anti-social distancing on the Road King for another 100 miles. 92 degrees. I think this morning was better. Just a little bit.

Added my club decal to front windshield of the CVO RG. Mapped out a route to lead the club up to another clubhouse in North East TN, about a 135 mile ride one way today. We have good weather so should be a great ride today.

Took an early ride, picked up bag of peaches, bag of fresh maters, one more stop for a lb of pralines. Logged 157miles., my wife will insist on me going again, soon. Making them think it’s their idea ain’t too tough. She doesn’t ride anymore.

That brought back a memory. Thank you Phil. So it's like this:
My Dad was, occasionally, absolutely full of chit. This is the guy who took me to a funeral when I was four or five only because the dead guy had an identical twin. You can guess where there that went. Or it was his fault I got suspended for three days in Kindergarten because the other boys did not believe it when I shared the story of how my Dad had shot Billy the Kid. A fight ensued as I defended my dad's honor.
So, for as long as I can remember before I was 12 or 13 years old my Dad had told me that praline was just a fancy word for a woman's bra. Have no idea how or when it originally came up but, occasionally, like when you'd see a bra in the laundry, he'd just call it a praline. Subtle (it seemed).
Then, of course, about the time some girls were beginning to need them a 12 or 13 year old boy does what a 12 or 13 year old boy does and says something. Except I call it a praline. When I got home and expressed my indignation my dad was very very amused....
-
Does pralines give you a woody and something to smile about? Ya gotta have a song that goes along with this.

Will have to work on the verse.
As for the "what did you do" thing today; left on the Road Glide about 7:00 before it got hot. Got home about 10:45 just as the warm was settling in. Another couple hundred miles on the new engine work. Thank the Travel Gods it continues to perform well and sound great. Really quiet top end. Way quieter cam, even with the roller rockers, than I expected. EMS package may have finally finished dialing things in as I'm finally not noticing any even subtle changes. About a half and half mix this morning of 75 on the highway and other miles on state and county roads. Once again an almost dead 40 mpg.

Recovered the security codes for both my FLHXSE3 and the Wife's FLD...damned if we could remember them!

Just got back from a weekend guys trip to the motorcycle museum in Anamosa IA. 450 miles of good times and plenty of sunshine. :bananarock:

Rode down to Boone NC with Dwayne and Pam, Steve and Miss Susan. Rode down over the Dragon, Saltville, Damascus and Mountain City. Ate at the Dan'l Boone Inn which has recently reopened after C19 then hit the parkway and stopped at Station Inn/Freebornes. The Freeborne restaurant/bar is still closed but the Station inn and Woodys were open. Completed the ride back to Bluefield via Sparta, independence, Wytheville and back via old 52.
Total of 260 miles, beautiful weather, beautiful roads and wonderful friends. All in all a great day.

FXR's turn this morning. Gawd what a gorgeous day to ride. Thin cloud deck you could see blue through. Upper 70s. No wind. You just couldn't ask for better.
Before leaving tweaked the timing curve (aftermarket ignition). Curvemaker is the software package. Nothing special, just added four degrees for a point of comparison. 157 miles later was at a gas station a mile from the house. 52.87 miles per gallon.
I can't say I really noticed any great difference in how the bike ran. That's the best fuel mileage it's ever given though. After it cooled off a bit pulled the plugs and they looked fine. Never heard any detonation either.
-
Rode Red Pepper to the Dr appointment. Then rode to an out of town butcher to get some of his really good bacon, he sells to restaurants all over the area.
Will ride to another Appointment today, then over to SMHD to have my blown saddle bag lid speaker replaced. Then I will have then turn the fan assisted oil cooler on.
Got a good chance of getting wet, if its not rain when its time to leave, I'll go on bike. Down pour and I'll reschedule.

Packed the bike this morning for our week-end trip to Shelbyville, TN. Going to be a nice Ride over hwy 30 up Dayton Mountain then dropping down into Sequatchie valley, the view is beautiful and the curves are great. Will continue on to Spencer and McMinnville for more good views and curves.
Should be a great weekend of riding with lots of Motor Maids.

Not on the CVO did I accomplish anything today but on the lift that raises them up and down. And oh my gawd am I happy when I'm stupid sometimes.
Few weeks ago I started noticing the lift having a definite "chunk" at one spot on its way up or down. Crap (I thought) bad bearing somewhere or, more likely, I'd somehow flat spotted one of the solid steel rollers. The lift is a good heavy lift but was produced by a steel fabricator as a side line for them in an industrial park about 40 miles away. I bought it close to 20 years ago and the company has been gone for a few years I know of. So if something is bad I'm making replacement parts or buying a new lift.
New lifts are expensive. But before even looking under my old I'd looked at new ones. Because, well, new tools ;D . You get it.
It would still be nice to fix the old beast if I could. It's got sentimental value.
Half hour ago +/- beer finally decided to take a close look at it. See what was going on. Access to a buddy's machine shop tomorrow on Saturday when they're closed to make whatever I might need.
Lift goes up, CLUNK. Lift goes down, CLUNK. All the rollers look good. Up and down one more time. I'm a dumass :mango: .
Sometime right before the problem began I must have been changing a front wheel on something. Had the wheel chock off. And I put it back together with a bolt going through the floor that was 1/4" too long. It was hitting a front cross bar carrying the two top front rollers. Clunk, clunk, clunk. Bar is still fine. Bolt was bent. New bolt from the drawer and lift is like brand new again. Gotta love it when a plan comes together!

Gotcha, I know a couple of guys that are squires. The first time I went you could buy JD and have it shipped to your home but you could not walk out with a bottle. The last time I went you could buy it and take with you. I asked the guy how they were able to do that with it being a dry county and his response was “we are not selling whiskey, we are selling commemorative bottles that just happen to have whiskey in them”.

No sweat. There are a ton of free photo editing apps out there for either PC or phone. Find any of them than just look for a "rotate" function. Might also be as easy as just rotating the phone before taking the picture.
A lot of phones are good about automatically rotating a picture for viewing on your phone screen automatically for your viewing. So you never know its native mode is sideways.

I had a new set of tires installed today at 32K. Stayed with stock as they've treated me well so far. Picked up a new set of plugs and wires. Figured since I'll have the tank off next week to install new bars and heated grips that the timing was right.

Are you saying you got 32K out of the factory tires?
Since the 17 model year 13~14K is best I have managed. Usually closer to 12K

LOL, no Dave, 2nd set of replacement tires. That's a 16K average, still had at least another 1000 miles to get to the wear bars but one of my local dealers was only charging $45.00 per wheel on the bike for installation instead of $125.00 per and the promotion was almost over so I took advantage of their generosity.

$125 to R&R a wheel then dismount and mount and balance a tire. That's normal? It may be, I really don't pay attention to such things enough to say. But, damn... That's enough to make my special places pucker up just thinking about it; and again remind me why I prefer to do my own.

Okay that makes much more sense. Wish I could even get 16K out of a rear on either bike. $125 is not for tire installation and ballance, but dealers are very high on it. Same with actual tire price.
I'll need front and rear on the King in next couple thousand miles. Most-likely will be American Elite again, but thinking hard about Commander 3's
Riding the CVO Road Glide over to SMHD for the 30K service. Also to look at tank trim ring that gas cap screws into. Paints coming off, should be covered under warranty.
-
Well hopefully they'll take care of you Dave. Wow 30K already, and you have 2 bikes! I was all set to try out the Commander III's this time but they don't make one for our 21s, but if they ever do I'll give em a shot for sure.
Ride safe!

Your absolutely right, but $125.00 is the average hourly rate at the stealers out here on the left coast and the only place you can buy the D407 & D408's for the most part. They charge an hour labor per on the bike for turnkey service plus $4-$5 each to get rid of the old ones since the land fills won't take em any more out here (EPA), and I usually get 10 to 15% off locally but this was a better deal

It's not that the numbers don't add up. They still seem painful when you're old enough to remember mounting and balancing free with tire purchase on cars and paying $25 for front and rear on a bike. Gawd, it's no wonder my personal check engine light comes on every once in awhile....
-
I hear ya. Back in the early ninety's the same shop that I just dealt with which is now called Emerald City HD was called Lynnwood Cycle Barn (different owners). They used to do free mounting and balancing turnkey as long as you bought your tires from them at MSRP. A lot of the indie's these days are charging an hour each as well at around $90.00 an hour around here. Ouch. :-\
Ahhhh the good ol days!

Made a trip to near Dallas to see Carol Burks and had him install the Ohlin front cartridges. He sent me the Ohlin rear shocks in March and I installed them myself. Before I left, he checked the rear shocks and fine tuned them and replaced the spring because he thought it was too heavy. He put in a lighter one and what a nice difference. The bike now floats and eats up the curves. Then I spent 5 days in the Ozarks "testing" them out. During this trip I turned 100,000 miles on my Road Glide. Love that bike and will continue to ride it until I can't.

I rode from Glacier National Park to Red Lodge, Montana. Going to ride over Bear Tooth Pass tomorrow..........along with many others, apparently. This town is full of motorcycles. It was 71F at 6:00 p.m. so it's motorcycle riding weather here in Montana!

Bearthooth pass is my favorite road in the country, my wife's also. Every time we ride out to Sturges, we go home via Red Lodge and Beartooth pass, its a 700 mile detour for us, but worth it. Enjoy
-
Yeah, Beartooth is one of my wife's and my favourite rides as well. Last year on a trip out west we were supposed to do it for the third time, but unfortunately our trip was cut short when I ended up in the Jackson hospital for 5 days with pneumonia and had to fly home with nurse by my side... Doc said I had a oxygen level of 68 when admitted and that was at 6,200'. So had I gone for Beartooth the next day, I never would have made it over according to his expert advise.
With having COPD I'm sill dealing with the after effects of pneumonia but much, much better than I was... It actually helps to ride because it is forcing air into me! :2vrolijk_21:
Hopefully we'll get another opportunity to ride Beartooth someday. Till then we have wonderful memories.
Enjoy your ride JC.

Wow, sounds like you had a close call there.....happy to know that you're still sucking air!
If I remember correctly, didn't you go down to Ariz. every winter? If you get down there again, let me know.....I'm in the Tucson area now.
I'm going to shoot you a PM.

Today I rode up over Beartooth Pass, through Cooke City, Mt. and Cody, Wy.

Spent most of the day yesterday replacing my plugs, went with NGK 3521 Iridiums ($8.99 each at local parts store), wires, chose to go with 10mm Screamin Eagle's, new bars, 12" FMB Baggers Phatty Mercanary's (Merc's) and a set of blacked out Kahuna Heated Grips. Everything works extremely well and looks killer. I'll ad some pic's when I get a chance.

Well Emma Jane get her first set of tires today. She had 18900 miles on that set. Went back with the OEM D407 & D408 Dunlops.
-
Just took off the fuel tank to get some good photos of the bubbling paint on the inner and outer rocker box covers. Also the paint is bubbling on the primary cover. Warranty is up next month so want to get it all sorted now.
Anyone else had issues with this?

replaced my soundz amp (free) it bit the dust on my Arkansas trip, up graded TP speakers with iron 65, they traded the 61s plus 150 bucks. replaced the commander 3 on the front, it broke a belt or something, started vibrating at 65 mph and got worse the faster i went, pulled it off had it checked and it wanted over 3 oz so back to a Dunlop for now, all is good. gave it a 3 hole service. repacked my mufflers, right muffler packing was gone. ready to hit the road next weekend, heading to Wisconsin/ upper Michigan area

Not today OR on my CVO but middle grandson rode to Myrtle with me last Sunday. 446 miles in a day. His first long ride and he did great.

...and then wanted to ride back with me yesterday. 894.5 miles total. Pretty proud of him. He is already talking about when we can do an iron butt ride. Not bad for a ten year old. Not many his age have that under their belt.

All I did was update the Boom GTS software, as its been rainy here.

Well I'll been in Maggie Valley a few days now it's been raining off and on each day. But I'll been able to ride up this morning and it's a thunderstorm. I may just set the day out and set in this rocking chair at Holiday Motel.

It’s a bit of a long story so get comfortable.
There is a huge choice of slip ons available in the US. Here in the UK we are quite limited as to what we get to see or hear and rely on YouTube a lot but the sound on video is never the same as in the flesh. I didn’t want to splash out a lot of cash on something that I might not like. I was drawn to TAB Performance as I could use my stock heat shields with them. I’ve had Fullsac power cores before which I loved but didn’t want to adapt my stock mufflers due to potential warranty issues. I may do in the future.
I found some used TAB mufflers on eBay in the US and got them for just over £50 ($65). They were in very good condition apart from a couple of scrapes which are not visible with the heat shields on. They were however empty (no baffles). I then got chatting to someone on a UK Harley forum who had some Zombie baffles that he no longer needed as he had swapped to the 2.5” baffles. He very kindly gave them to me FOC and I managed to pick them up from him in the wilds of Cumbria when I was on my way home from Scotland on business.
So to cut a long story short it’s a bit of a low cost experiment to see if I like them. I don’t think the chrome tips go well with my bike but TAB do a black version which I may purchase if I like them after using them for the rest of the year.
Hope that all makes sense.
I’ve tried to take a picture but there is not much to see particularly with the stock heat shields on. I have however posted a before and after video on YouTube.

You've got to love it when things fall into place. Like you said it's hard to get an accurate assessment from a video compared to standing there but they do have depth to them and they do beat the stock. :2vrolijk_21:
-
Huge difference in sound, much deeper. I have heard from more than one source that you are able to use your stock Defiance tips on your TAB mufflers. That would resolve the tip issue. Nice job!

Big question is, do they have the dark area when leaning into a turn at night? Bet it does. The stock Harley daymaker certainly does. Only the Harley adaptive daymaker does a proper job. But it is pricey.

They are ordering rotors as they know they will get out of spec. These with be the 4th new rotors put on bike.

Rode the Red Pepper to Chattanooga to get the cracked screen on my iPhone replaced. Got there and after running diagnostics on my phone they said rear camera was failing and facial recognition did not work. I though once screen replaced facial would work but he said no. it would be 200 more to replace phone than screen. So I had to ride home, back iPhone up to computer. Then ride back to Chattanooga. Got new iPhone and rode home. Put 271 miles on the bike. Nice to ride and not get rained on or sprinkled on at all.
Today I will pair new phone with the bike. Then I'll ride to Knoxville for a couple things. Then later over to SMHD to visit with a friend and HOG meeting.

After 2 1/2 years and a little over 37K I decided to flush and replace the DOT 4 in all 3 holes. All looked okay but the brakes feel much better now.

Called the dealer...still waiting on a new primary chain. They have the new compensator(5th) and tensioner. They are thinking that the chain and/or tensioner are eating compensators.

Possibly they'll give a good customer like you a loaner to do your trip with? :nixweiss:

Sold my 2000 Triple Red, only had it out twice this summer, total of 300 km (185 mi) . Combination of bad knees and a sick feeling in my gut due to my Best Bud having someone turn left into him last summer, and he is still recovering, two surgeries, memory loss and a permanent stutter.

Road the green bike, also noticed the rear tire on the wear bars, and the front also needs replacing.
It wasn’t handling like it used to.
Tires are on the way, I’ll do both, check brakes, bearings etc, while on the lift.

Sold my 2000 Triple Red, only had it out twice this summer, total of 300 km (185 mi) . Combination of bad knees and a sick feeling in my gut due to my Best Bud having someone turn left into him last summer, and he is still recovering, two surgeries, memory loss and a permanent stutter. Made me evaluate my priorities.
Marty
Hey Marty,
Completely understand where you're coming from... It is tough enough to ride with bad knees, but having a friend fight his/her way through a recovery from a motorcycle accident makes it really tough to enjoy the ride. All the very best for your next chapter in your life.
From all what I've read over the years on this site, there will be many who will miss a couple of classics on the road and this site, which I hope you stay involved with every now and then.
All the best,
Mike

Thanks Mike, I will keep in touch on here as I have made many friends over the years on here and you are all a part of my life now. We have moved to a new adventure in the purchase of a boat, so hopefully Lake Erie will treat us nice and we will find some relaxing time on it.

Rode the CVO King 161 miles yesterday, 300 yards from my Driveway I hit a deer. I did not go down, but some how hurt my left big toe pretty bad. Its killing me this AM. It appears only damage to bike is front fender. Will have dealer check to make sure forks and frame not bent. Second deer I have hit on my way home, last one was 3 miles from home turning onto the street I hit this deer on.

Last night replaced the Dunlap Elite with 12,500 miles on it on the red pepper. I think I got all the use possible out of it.

New Dunlop Elite Rides much better. Today, we will change a rear rocker box seal that has a slight oil leak. 15,000 miles on the build.

I ordered the new front fender for the 2013 CVO King. A bit pricey, at 1100 dollars, but glad it can still be bought. Dang deer was expensive, didn't want an insurance claim.

Deer impact is Comprehensive, Not a preventable loss, Why no claim? I know you have insurance. I know older people, honestly, with 20+ Comp claims on their policy and we never cared. Just curious. Really never much more notice than a towing claim.

I pinned my needle today, sux they stop at 120

Today the old Road Glide went for a ride. 400-ish miles on as close to a perfect day as you could hope for. Low 70s and mostly sunny. Light breeze. Just great. Bike is still running awesome after its winter engine work. The dark red and diamond cut cylinders and heads look almost as good as they're running now. Sounds great and runs sweet.

Two very big claims in past two years. My wife totaled a 17 Road Glide special, at 35K with the custom paint we had on it. Not her fault, Trucking company was found to be at fault. Insurance co got re-embursed for bike and medical, had no payout. Had a lady on cell phone do a hit and run on me. 14K damage to bike.
We were dropped by our insurance company of 10 years, determined to be to high risk. Even though police report from hers listed truck drivers very at fault and mine as hit and run, with two witness.
So less then 6 months with new company. Not chancing it.

HIGH RISK.... that was the name of my last boat, dont ask why lol, them insurance companies can be a lill funny about things sometimes

Rode the 19 Red Pepper to Chemo, then a 100 mile ride after to clear my head.
Will be doing the exact same today. Then when I get home, I'll pack the bike for our trip to FL, leaving early Wednesday morning to be home Sunday night.

Talked to the dealer.....primary drive chain finally came in and it along with a new tensioner and compensator #5 were installed. When they started it they heard other 'noises' that were masked by the sound of the failing compensator ....now......they're opening the cam chest and top end.......70,000 km on a '12 with about $16,ooo of esp work done so far. At least they hear the 'not-normal' noises that I've been telling them about for the last 1.5 years since the rebuild.
Trade for a what?

I still miss my '12 Ruby, Dayne (and still one of Vickie's favorite bikes we've had). Still, and except for the color, I'm glad I'm out of it for these type reasons you are having. Beautiful is great unless you can't ride it or get it out of the service dept. You've done well mileage wise but $16K of motor work so far (canadian $ or US $) is a bunch. When the ESP runs out or they stop covering, what then?
Trade for what, you ask? I would suggest moving brands but that may not be where you want to go. Without extrapolating further on a CVO site, moving was the best thing I did. One of the first things Vickie said after we rode the new bike..."Why didn't we do this sooner?"
There are trade-offs on any brand. Nobody has the perfect motorcycle. You have a beauty and except for the '12 Skunk color combo, the Ruby/Typhoon is my second favorite CVO color combo.
Keep it between the ditches... :bananarock:

Picked up my 19 CVO Magnetic Fade Gray Limited from the dealership after having my Cam, cam plate, new upgraded oil pump and lifters replaced. Seems like they are still using the cheap china made lifters as it was a lifter failure and caught early. The bike had 35,000 miles on a completely stock engine. At least it was still under factory warranty by three weeks so at no cost to me. Now heading to Biketoberfest.

water pump ..... i have to get that on my to do list, 52k on the original.

If your not under warranty before upgrading you might consider taking it off and cleaning the internals. Mine works fine now that the impeller is unobstructed. Should of done this before upgrading would have saved 380 dollars on the upgraded one.
If you do the work yourself, when you go to put the cover back on be sure to line it up and push evenly, it’s easy to pop the grommets out

In the process of packing my Red Pepper. Riding with my wife and a friend to Eureka Springs AR for a long week end. Second trip there this year.

Rode thru potential thunderstorms, 85 degree heat and Sunday drivers to fetch pralines for my lovely bride, she’s lucky to have me.

Rode Home from Eureka Springs on Sunday. Took 412 across AR and a short bit of MO. Got on I-40 in Jackson TN. Great ride, with temps in very low 70's until east of Nashville, then we had 60 or so miles of Rain, and fog between Cookville and Crossville .
Great couple days riding the Pig Trail and other great roads in AR.

Recently installed a cerakoted decatted header on the bike to replace the regular decatted header I had been running. When I decatted the original I cut out the backside to remove the cat and did not think about the fact I could have done the front side and the heat shield would cover it. Oh well wanted to do the cerakote inside and out anyway.
Still burning the header out so to speak so I rode down to the Back of the Dragon store to get a khalessi burger but the friggin food truck was not open. Oh well
Sonic here I come.

Yesterday morning, I replaced the dented and twisted front fender from the deer I hit September 11th on the CVO Road King. Was shocked it came in so fast, less than four weeks. Yet two months waiting and no new rotors for the 19 CVO.
Fender is on, looks great so I rode it 160 mile yesterday. Colors are starting to get good.

Moonshine Harley davidson has lots of videos on You-tube about M8 exhaust and cams and other upgrades. Most are very informative. I already had the Fullsac MX head pipe prior to the video. Very good comparison of it to the D&D 2 into 1 Billet cat which is one of the very best for the M8. Fullsac holds it own for sure, and is not near as loud which for me is big, I ride my bike a lot, over 20K on this bike this year.

Filled it with gas, put some stabil in, washed it, and covered it for it's long winters nap. :-\

Engine light suddenly kept coming on with the code 1475 (Exhaust actuation position error) I'd clear it but shortly after it would return.
Removed the AEA (Active Exhaust Actuator) "what a performance pulling that unit out.
Found the outer cable housing had popped out of the cable fastener. After a good cleaning and lubrication to the cable and the active exhaust valve actuator
All's working freely now just the mater of reinstalling and a test run ,.....fingers crossed that was the problem.

I have a 2018 FLHXSE. I installed a Fuel Moto Jackpot XXX headpipe (allows use of the original factory heat shields) ceramic coated (HTC, best I can tell, it is Canada's retailer of Jet-Hot). I ordered a set of CVO mufflers off Ebay so I can keep my originals. I removed the baffles and put FullSac 2.0 cores in with TechMat. I installed a Fuel Moto modified High Flow K&N intake (claims 80% increased flow). This uses the stock cover with a new filter and backing plate. Installed a ThunderMax tuner with base map. Finally, I installed a Fueling vented dipstick. I noticed a fair amount (imo) of oil in the stock filter when I swapped the intakes. I am hoping this will help with that issue. I put about 50 miles on this new setup. It feels healthy and I am hoping it will get better as it dials in. Bike is still pretty quiet (coming from someone that rides a ThunderHeader on their other bike).

went almost 400 miles today and really had a blast! amazing with Harley how much a difference removing the cat and a tune makes! On my BMW it only picked up a few TQ and HP though I used a canned map (not sure anyone knows how to tune those or if even possible). Made that bike better for sure but not even the same hemisphere as the Harley as far as changing bike

-
stem cell transplant? sounds serious! your health doing well?
Yes, Stem Cell Transplant. Diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma, Stage III last December. Started Chemo in January. In July my cancer was down enough for a Stem Cell Transplant, but COVID would not allow it. Finally in November I could go to Houston to have it done. Started the process Nov 4th. Got cleared to go home on Dec 11th.
Yea, its pretty serious. While in patient for transplant, second best nurse to patient ratio there is, only ICU has a better ratio. Chemo does there before transplant was extremely hi. Once it killed all my white blood cells, all my plasma and such, I got the stem cells transplanted to rebuild my blood.
Hopefully my cancer will be in remission for 12 plus years. I'll be on a maintenance Chemo the rest of my life.
Other than the two months at MD Anderson it has not slowed me down, first ten months, while doing chemo I rode 28,000 miles.
-
That's a tough row to hoe. Nice that you're back home Dave. MD Anderson is the best. Back at the end of 13 my girlfriend was given 18-36 months, went to MD in Houston for treatment which included surgery and qualified for, and has been receiving experimental drug treatment through the UW (satellite program of MD Anderson here in Washington) since, and is now almost cancer free.
I'll be rooting for ya big guy!

You are a real trouper Dave, glad to hear you are fighting and pray for good outcomes.

Dave.. I always thought that you were tough. Now I'm super impressed. Most important is that you stay well. Crossing fingers hoping you can stay cancer free. Keep on riding. Stuart :2vrolijk_21:
-
Thank you all. I do appreciate it!
I'm not really all that tough. I am fortunate that the chemo had minimal side effects on me for the first ten months. The biggest was I lost energy and got tired easier. My wife said my fatigue made me more like a normal person as I was the energizer bunny before. I rode to chemo most days the a nice 100 mile ride after to clear my head and forget about my cancer.
Yes, MD Anderson is constantly rated in top three Cancer centers in the USA for the past 10 plus years, which is why I chose them. I wanted the best care possible. I fully believe I got just that while there for two months. My Oncologist there has only treated Multiple Myeloma for the last 13 years.
The Chemo I received there was Hell. Kept me inpatient 2 weeks, for many it's more like 3 weeks.
I'm on the road to recovery, getting strength back and the weight I lost back. I have been determined to not let this slow me down, or keep me from living my life to the fullest. I have had a good attitude though out it, and pretty much lived like I had nothing unusual going on health wise.
Picked up new tags for the CVO King yesterday. Raining like heck now, so I will put the tags on her today.
-
Fixed my Air Ride, pressure switch went bad. Installed new Windvest, weirdly enough it was cold and it barely got bumped backing it in her garage and sheared off!

A great attitude will help you get through this Dave. You play it down some and I would probably try to do the same. But we know that it's no easy task and some days can be very hard. Glad you get to ride your issues away. Keep your good attitude and you can get through this. Stuart.

Dave, may the Lord continue to heal you during this time. You know I'm just down the road so if there is EVER anything you need, I'm there, brother.

Took the 13 CVO King out to pick up a prescription yesterday that turned into a nice 140 mile ride. I'll ride her again today as I have a couple errands to run, then go to SMHD to log her miles for Ride 365 and meet a Friend so I should get about 130 or so miles again today.

Does anyone know PMCS?
If you've ever served, then you are very aware of preventative maintenance checks and services.
Since retiring in 2004, I firmly believe in fixing it before it breaks, which can easily ruin a good day or vacation trip.
I keep up on the chatter boxes for common problems and add them to my PMCS.
I bought my 2014 FLHTKSE CVO with 3k miles, and over a scheduled period, I replaced everything in the cam chest with top end hardware. New d&d 2-1 headers with a single fatcat. Oh, the ecm had to go too, installed a Thundermax.
So, I buy slightly used, fix all of the chatterbox issues for a powerhouse worry free beast at 46k miles now.
As a Harley Davidson certified YouTube engineer doing all of my own work, I will continue to this proven practice of PMCS until I run out of bandwidth.

I agree. Not only have they checked the wheels, this is the second front wheel, and second set of rotors for it.
Rode the King a nice 132 miles yesterday. A clear day in the very low 40's.
Will be riding the Road Glide over for the new seat and rotors today. Hoping it gets above freezing so I can get out on my road.

Ordered a set of KST Kustom Pioneer bars in 10 inch. These are the 3 piece bars that allow for adjustment of pullback. The good news is that they had the bars in stock and they should be here tomorrow. The bad news is we had 10 inches of snow yesterday morning and it's hard to tell when I'll get them on.

Piece of advice on those bars. That rubber strip that's glued into the cross piece, put a strip of painter's tape around the bars to hold that strip in place or it can fall out real easy. Get them where you want them and crank the clamp bolts down properly.

Those bars look nice, to bad they don't make them for a street glide. I still can't decide on a set of bars.

They must have made a change on the Pioneers to eliminate the glued on piece. The directions still reference it, but it is gone and is replaced with knurling in the area where the clamp will contact it.

I believed the weatherman. Said it was going to get up to 45 degrees and 0% chance of rain. So I rode the CVO Road Glide to SMHD, never got above 35. On the way home, 40 miles from home it started sleeting and temp dropped to 32. Not quite was was predicted or I had planned. Thank God for heated gear.

Yesterday, I had to replace the shifter shaft and front arm. It stripped the splines. It needs to be checked periodically to be sure the arm is on tight, the set screw tightened and the arm as tight as it can be on the outter primary. One more thing to add to the list

Yesterday was a great day in East TN with temperature getting up to 69 degrees and sunny. So I took the CVO RG out with 9 others for a great 222 mile ride. Some great curvy roads like TN 360, to Tellico, then 68 over the mountain to Ducktown then back along the Ocoee River to 30 up through Reliance, then 163 along the Hiawassie river to 58 north. Nice to ride in blue jeans and a sweatshirt in February, usually heated gear this time of year.

Glad to hear that you enjoyed the 131. It does look like the 8 lobe has fixed the issues, guess in my mind it's cheap insurance for 700 bucks when your dropping that kind of money on motor work. Just my opinion.

That is a good way to look at it. Looking forward to seeing pictures and hearing your thoughts on the 131.

I personally like the friction zone of a cable clutch. I have had the hydraulic since 07 but still never liked the friction zone being 70-80% at the end of the lever. I even switched over to a Rivera Pro Clutch in my 15 CVO SG, feel was better but still not what I was looking for.

I wasn’t real happy about the “friction zone” or the hard pull either.
I fixed that and will keep the juice clutch.
Too bad Harley didn’t sell a “SE” kit, they missed out on some $$$$ there!

Got an email today from my dealer that my replacement rear fender and other damaged parts will be sent from Harley's painters shortly. Looking forward to finally getting my bike back to the way it should be after getting rear ended on Jan. 6th.
I'm also replacing my tail lights with Advanblacks smoked version of the red CVO lights.
-
The weather around here finally broke enough to get Orange Crush in for a handlebar change. I went with 10" KST Pioneer bars, they are multipiece bars that are very adjustable. The whole process was very easy as the Road Kings have much less stuff that has to be removed. The wiring was an absolute breeze as it was only necessary to take the plug off of the Throttle control wires as the bars are huge and the bend was very gradual. I have not gotten to ride the bike yet becasue it got pretty chilly once the "big light" went out last evening, but I will do so this evening.
-
The last (I hope) of my replacement parts came in yesterday, so I have an appointment to drop the bike off next Tuesday morning, 3/2, and should get it back on Wednesday. I'm anxious to see how it looks with the smoked tail lights, I always thought the red looked out of place on my Black and Orange bike.

Yesterday was a really nice day in East TN, so out for a ride. 352 miles total. Took a couple roads I had never been on. Legget road west out of Sale Creek going up the mountain was great, then onto Pitts Gap road and then Pitts Gap Mountain road to lower east valley road into Pikeville on 30. Then the rest were roads I have been on, 30 to Spence, 111 to Sparta, then 84 Kalf Killer road, to Monterey and 70 back to kingston. Then to Smokey Mountain Harley and home.

Your are the example of what retirement should be, ride, ride and ride. I am on a 60 hour gig up in Maryland until May and then back to home to Alabama for 40 hour weeks. I will be up in your neck of the woods (Murphy, NC) to ride maybe a week in June, can't wait.

Dave I did pretty much the same thing only the tags took several hours to unbolt all the license plates to put on the new stickers - never have dropped so many tiny washers and nuts.
Then we went for 150 mile ride and tried out a newer Brew Pub in Titusville. PlayLinda Brewery (Brix) on US1 just south of highway 50. The wife found a new beer like blue moon, but was better as she said you could taste the orange without adding it afterwords. (Tropical Wonderland Ale).
-
Will do (or at least start on) the NSP (normal Spring maintenance) this weekend. Oil changes on all three, pack wheel bearings on the FXR, inspect everything on all three, fasteners for tight, primary fluids, etc etc etc. I might even get energetic and actually do the cam change on the old FXR that I never got done over the winter. That would be make it a really excellent weekend if all that gets done. We'll see.....
Three bikes of NSP maintenance is a nice way to spend a weekend.
-
Finally got to ride Orange Crush with the new bars. I did have to pull them back slightly from the original adjustment because I was having to reach a bit far when the forks were near lock. After the adjustment I can’t believe I waited this long to make the change. I thought the old bars were pretty good but the new ones are much more comfortable. Lesson learned.

Took the CVO King for a short 110 mile ride. Got a few springs twice for about a mile each on my way home, didn't get wet just slightly damp.

Finally got to take the 2021 on its first 100 mile ride. Installed the XM module out of the 15 (Works flawlessly in the new GTS head unit). I really am liking the old school cable clutch. The friction zone is about 3/8" off the grip, right where I would expect it to be. Still waiting on the 131 kit to come in. Dealer says hopefully Wednesday when the parts arrive. Happy with my decision so far.

Definitely needs a regular crash bar and a set of lowers.
-
Changed the oil, trans, and primary. Replaced cracked primary shoe. Then figured, why not change the handlebar bushings. A lot more involved than I thought it was gonna be. I’ll put it back together tomorrow.

Wildmustang , Miss P, Steve WW, Miss Susan and I got together for our first real ride of the year. When we left at 11am it was 46 degrees, but it warmed up to a blistering 53 degrees by the time we got home.LOL
We rode down to the Swinging Bridge restaurant in Paint Bank, Va for lunch. The top of the hill between Newport and Paint Bank had a ton of small gravel still on the road, and there were a few spots on the side of the hill that still had snow.

Was curious. New Castle sells it for $1600 online. Sounds like they gave you a fair discount to be out the door at that price. I know labor and sales tax out there can't be cheap.

Fired it up a couple of times last weekend checking for leaks. So far so good. Sounds incredible and the throttle responce is amazing. Need to button up a few loose ends and weather permitting will be taking it out the end of the week. :pepper:

Where did you find a new clutch cable or were you able to use the stock one on those?
Your tank badges look much better than the plain jane ones that came on it. :2vrolijk_21:

Ditto. I like everything about that also. In fact that entire scheme from front to back is my overall favorite of all the paint sets (accessorized or not) in many years. Like everything about that overall look and especially like the way the colors are mixed in and out, from front to back and top to bottom. Really good looking bike.

my 131 kit I put in a few months ago blew up (under warranty thank God..) so got bike back yesterday afternoon.

Last couple hundred miles today though I wasn't ripping it, I was pushing it up to 4K and seems to be running great. Will be glad to not have to look at the tach next weekend for sure.

Put lids on my Limited. Wife didn't like the speakers in the pods said they bothered her sciatica. Was able to find a set of now-extinct Boom 1 speakers with the correct covers on Flea-Bay (new old stock) and ordered some Paladin Silver lids. Had to order a Molex MX150 connecter to move speaker wires out of the tour-pak harness to keep the rear headset plugin and controls. Sounds good and didn't have to replace amps and speakers ($$$$) or get a flash. Ordered some 7" HDPE blanks to cover the pod holes and looks acceptable.

Well, it was a bit cold riding to Joplin, left the house Wednesday, 41 degrees. Crossed the Cumberland Plateau it had dropped to 31 and snow flurries. Nothing stuck, warmed back up slowly to a high of 52. Spent the night in Van Buren MO on Current river at a nice place we like. Went to Big Springs in the morning and on to Joplin, to their before the rain. Got a couple short rides on Friday and Saturday between the rains. Nice 663 mile ride home yesterday, started out at 48 and warmed quickly to 60 then eventually hit 70 degrees. Put 1398 miles on the bike.

After many years of not fixing something that was never broken finally had to (slightly) adjust the Bitubo shocks on the back of the Road Glide. Had noticed that clearing the kickstand was ever so slightly more of a problem. At first blamed it on the fact that I was now officially old. Then couldn't figure out any way that lowered the bike. So adjusted the stupid shocks.

Lower left speaker quit working, thought the wires came loose from the amp (has happened before) took the fairing off only to find that the wires were all still connected. Wish I would have pulled the lower speaker first, would have saved me a bunch of trouble! Anyway this little thingy broke loose and caused my speaker to stop working. Got another set from my brother, just gotta install and Button her back up.

That's a capacitor its used as a "crossover". It's used to cut out lower frequencies "bass" that the speaker is not designed to reproduce giving the speaker a clearer sound reproduction.

Ok, thanks for the info. It’s a two-way speaker so I wonder if it’s used to crossover to the tweeter or vise versa. Maybe not but I was able to make the speaker “work” by touching the speaker wires to the outer posts that the crossover was soldered to...not sure if it was the tweeter or woofer that was working but it was making some sound.

The OEM looks like a heim joint on the ends but it’s not, there is a rubber bushing in there and it really isn’t meant to swivel, that is why I’m replacing mine because the rubber is wore out and I can swivel it with two fingers.

Coming home from Hog rally in Lexington Ky. Saturday . My voltage regulator started failing no further than 100 miles on back roads and 66 miles from Wildcat HD. I'm 8hrs from home.So I started cutting across 30 miles from dealer it shut bike down so I called dealer and they send a tow truck this is at 10.30 Arrived at dealer at 12.00 pm check in at service and guess what no regulator on hand was told that the service manager was going to take his off and put on my to get my back on the road. WELL 4hrs later and a $250.00 tow bill which ESP paid $200.00 and I paid $50.00 and a $50.00 deductible for a used regulator and the service manager I guess will get the new one. I'm back on the road and arrived home at 1.30 Sunday morning. Started out all back roads but had to take all interstate home.

Often not. When the weather is very warm it'll be what goes out in the hottest part of the day. It and the Road King are the cooler bikes to ride. The Road Glide can get just a little warm if you're waiting in traffic very long. Fortunately a ride to food is rarely just a few minutes in town. No fun in that. Have to go a little while to get wherever is the target.

I finally took the bike to the HD dealer because of my radio cutting out intermittently. I found a few things that may have been the issue such as the CB and weather band being on along with the antennas not installed in their correct position but alas no cigar. It's in their ballpark now so I hope they hit a home run on this one.

I use the CB a lot in the club I ride with and if your CB is on and your squelch is set on a low setting it will cut the radio out for the transmission. Don’t know if you can turn off weather Band, but if your HD dealership is able to turn off weather band I would like to know. My radio jumps to weather band for no reason at all and I have to manually switch back to radio. My 16 and 19 CVO Ultra never did that, my 20 CVO Ultra dose and my dealership doesn’t know how to stop that happening.

I got a call from the HD dealership today that my bike was ready for pickup. He stated that they think I had nav software that had been corrupted somehow from an upload or download and kept interrupting the radio to "give direction". He said they were able to remove or erase it. Pretty wild, but I guess when it comes to software and computers anything is possible. I'm happy they didn't have to tear the bike apart to try to find the problem.

Sorry I didn't respond earlier to your question regarding shutting off the weather bands. Yes, you can shut it off. I looked in the infotainment owner's manual and it does show you how to shut it off. I too noticed on at least one occasion (prior to my shutting it off) when the radio display did revert to the weather band display.

Well, my trip did not go as planned. Motor failed on long Island 10 miles before the Orient Point Ferry. Not sure yet what left go. 4 hours to get a tow, HOG never did get me a tow.
You can not rent a pick up, box van or trailer leaving Long Island or NYC. They want a 3 week notice for a one way rental. Its 2600 dollars one way to TN. Took 15 phone calls to find a one way car rental. So I drove home Sunday. Tuesday I rode the King up to Front Royal to enjoy the rest of our trip with my wife.
Leaving in 30 minutes in a pick up to drive back to Long Island to get the Road Glide and bring it home Wednesday. 815 or so miles each way.

You can not rent a pick up, box van or trailer leaving Long Island or NYC. They want a 3 week notice for a one way rental. Its 2600 dollars one way to TN. Took 15 phone calls to find a one way car rental. So I drove home Sunday. Tuesday I rode the King up to Front Royal to enjoy the rest of our trip with my wife.
Leaving in 30 minutes in a pick up to drive back to Long Island to get the Road Glide and bring it home Wednesday. 815 or so miles each way.
Sorry to hear about your misfortune!
I think we’ve all been there one time or another and put a damper on a trip.
Just for future reference, and depending on the conditions I don’t rely on tow companies or insurance companies to get me home. U-haul will rent me a very nice motorcycle trailer here for $14.00 a day and hook it up to my van or a buddies pickup and we bring it back to my place. Lot cheaper and MUCH better service! Of course things can be much different way out of town.
Let us know what you find out on your engine and good luck!👍

That sucks. Sorry man. Strictly for the "misery loves company" component this is the third story I've heard this year of HOG roadside assistance being not just poor but useless. Will be curious about what happened in the engine. Safe trip to bring it home.

Wow Dave that sucks! Sorry to hear that.

I did get my bike out yesterday for it's first major outing since my 128" build and it performed flawlessly. I went from my home in Marysville over Stevens pass and had lunch at Rusty's in Cashmere. When I left home it was about 70 degrees, a couple hours later it was over 95 in Cashmere! So with mountain passes and major temperature changes the bike did awesome!
I did have one minor hiccup though. I lost a cover plate from my right lower fairing somewhere along the way :zwtf:
and ordered a new one this morning.
-
On the old FXR2 today. Removed the saddle and installed a Badlands modules. So more lighting. The better part was more brighter lighting, especially in the front.
Changed out the amber lenses for smoked lenses in the front and red ones in back with bright red LEDs all over the back now. In the front went some amber LEDs that also included an outer ring of bright white lights. Gives the effect of a DRL. I honestly didn't expect much. The little f$%*ers are awesome!

Not defending HOG, I no longer am a member, but they are not the only one having a hard time dispatching a tow truck. I heard of AAA wait times of 4+ hours in the Tampa area on a regular basis. Tow companies are still willing to sign-up with the Services but the recoup is so low they only respond when absolutely no other tows are available. Have some friends that operate tow company, their drivers will not respond, especially at night, to any kind of service tow. Pay is so low they just ignore the calls.
I pay for tow & labor thru my insurance plus it's included on our new cars but I pray to not have to use it.

Really sorry to hear about your troubles Dave. Please let us know what the issue was. Hope things work out. Stuart. 😩😣

Well drove up to Long Island New York Tuesday, got there about 8 PM. Loaded bike into Pick up at 9:00 AM and on the road at 9:30. I-81 south bound shut down all lanes south around Front Royal. Every one tries to take US 11 south it was a parking lot. Found a 1.5 lane country road going south, took it 20 miles and got back on I-81 south. Got home about 11:45. Will take bike to dealer today to un-load from truck. Then put on trailer to were we will tear it apart. 1750 miles in two days for the bike

Dave, that sucks! BUT you have a bunch of miles on that build.
I passed on the ESP figuring I could fix whatever happens on my build with that money and rolling the dice that the motor lasts.
When I upgraded the motor and addressed the clutch issues all was good UNTIL my trans failed after about 8k miles on the build. I don’t hammer on my bikes but I do use the power! I “babied” third gear roll ons figuring that is one of the weak links in the stock transmission. Sixth gear dogs and shift forks were the issue. Seems sloppy fitting gears and assorted parts are to blame.
Baker grudge box builder kit on the way! LOL
I’m not looking forward to updating the primary and rear drive, but we’ll see.
Good luck getting yours back on the road!

Put on a couple hundred miles on the new Baker trans. Gear ratios are just a little different so that my favorite gear on my favorite route is going to be either the next gear or a lower one depending on the RPM.
Overall, it’s pretty nice, a little gear whine on decel in some gears, 6th is for 75 and higher, shifting is not as smooth and quiet as my OD6 in my other bike but that may change with more miles.
Thanks for Steve and the guys at TTS to help me get the cruise working in 3,4,6 gears! I’m not computer literate!
Thanks to Linda and Baker for shipping it out so quickly and getting it done in a week.

Ah, guess I should have done the same thing, I get mine from American Moto Tire online, I have been buy from them for four years, I did get an order in, but they emailed me stating they don't know what happened, but their warehouse was incorrect, I received another email on Monday that he expects a supply within two weeks, so we shall see.

I noticed my throttle getting notchy over the last several months and not getting any better, so I finally took it in today and had the throttle grip sensor replaced. $500.00 later it's back to being smooth as silk.

Replaced clutch line o-ring to contain the brake fluid that was leaking out, it only lasted twelve years. I’ll be proactive next time and replace it again in ten years. :drink:

I guess the 110cui comes with standard 50mm throttle body. The 117cui-Upgrade Kit contains a 58mm body 8)

With the help of a great friend, started putting the 19 SERG back together. Got the heads on, valve train adjusted, intake on and so on. New plugs and wires installed except left front plug wire, the only part that has not come in yet. Once I get it need to instal breather, tank, bags and seat.

Lookin good Dave! I picked up a set of the Screamin Eagle plug wires for replacements. Should add about 25 HP and 30 lb ft of tq. :bananarock: LOL. They do look cool and they were readily available. :nixweiss:
Glad you're making progress.
Keep us posted.

Installed left front plug wire yesterday after it came in. Finished putting the bike back together. Bike fired right up, ran just like before. Put 62 miles on it.
Going to wash it today, lots of bugs from trip we were on when it broke the valve spring.
-
Good to hear that you got everything done and on the road again!
We’re looking at our annual trip to Reno in a week or so (hopefully they will get all the fires out).
My bike now has about 10 K on the new engine and is running great! I’m hoping for many more miles without issues.
I’ll get more miles on the new grudgebox to see if it will hold up better that the weak stock box.
I think I’ll keep the old gear set and just rebuild it a little more stout than stock just in case myself or one of my friends breaks theirs! LOL
Happy motoring.

Not a full report. Rode her 187 miles yesterday. Plenty of roll on power at 75 mph. Bike has lots of HP and pulls very hard 4500 rpm and up. Normal riding is at a higher RPM. 70 is around 4000 rpm. Does not have the torque feel of a big twin at low rpm, but feels fine.
Suspension is light years ahead of a H-D Touring bike. Much better ride, like it firm put it in Sport mode, like it more plush, put it in Road mode. Modes also change throttle response and compression braking. Modes also effect all the traction control settings. I need to learn more as I can set up two custom on road modes. Also has two dirt modes.
Biggest dislike so far is Bars are two low for me, I need to get the 2" risers. Bars feel fine if seat is in low position for me, but then legs do not

Completed a 450 mile weekend ride to the Thunder Valley Rally in Cottonwood AZ.

From desert cactus to Ponderosa Pines, it was a great trip.

Road a little this evening and since Miss Susan had an appointment I was on my own for dinner. After logging a few miles, I decided to stop by a little place in my hometown of Bluewell, WV called Lynn’s Drive Inn. Sitting there under an umbrella waiting for my two dogs and fries I got to thinking about the significance of this place in my own history. This little Drive Inn was started in 1950 by Ruck Hale and is named after one of his sons. My mom was working here around that time when she was approached by a dashing young lad named Dink Shrader and the rest as they say is history. Married in November 1952, my older brother came along in 1957, then an older sister in 1960, me in 1964 and my younger sister in 1976, which is about the time I was patrolling Bluewell on a ten speed and eating hotdogs under the trees along the parking lot of Lynn’s.
The trees are gone now along with Mom and Dad, my brother Dink and sister Tammy. I’m still here missing them and reminiscing about days gone by.
Well I’ve got to hit the road again, must have got some dust in my eye or something that I gotta blow out
-
Interesting little story there Shrader.
Put 218 miles on the CVO road glide for a poker run I did not win. Then 109 miles on the Pan America. Will be getting the 1000 mile service on the PAS today. Hog Rally in the Smokys is good so far even though I didn't win the opening poker run.

Big Lew I do all the work on my bike, except headwork and tuning. It ain’t rocket science that some make it out to be. Now granted I’m just a parts changer but my OJT is making me more confident. I’m fairly up to speed on my 09 FLTRSE3, give me a call sometime and we’ll talk, I only give real world experience suggestions and not what I read on the internet. I was hoping to ride it to Birmingham next weekend but I’m not gonna sweat it. They got some road racing going on and I will be there one way or another.

I’m starting from scratch with the gearset, setting the endplay on the main drive gear, Baker has changed that tolerance and so should I. Everything looks good right now and was at a good stopping point today.
Enjoy the weekend folks I know I will
-
All that disassembly to get to the main drive gear. Replace a spacer to get endplay to spec, new bearings, new pulley spacer/oring, new main seal.
Fingers crossed
-
The install of my DD7 was 2 1/2 years ago and if you look at the main drive bore at 3 and 9 o’clock you’ll see three small marks where I pulled the main seal, my scoreboard. I really thought I had it solved the last time but here I am. That’s why I started from scratch, my notes said the endplay was .0015 on install which is well within the specs which is now .0005-.002 but something isn’t right. I used the white spacer(.102) on initial install, I now have a .100 spacer too.
I had to have the DD7 and I’m determined to make it work without leaks. Anyone got some ideas I'm all ears.
-
Think I found the root cause of the the leak. On the original setup I used the thinest spacer in the kit which was the white (.102) seems like the specs were .001-.003 then. I have in my notes it was set at .0015. Decided to check the endplay with the white spacer still installed, I was getting .0035-.004. with the same equipment.
You can only check endplay with just the main drive gear in the hole.

I ordered a replacement battery today. My original battery is getting a little weak after 4 years and almost 55,000 miles. I'm going to try the
Yuasa GYZ32HL Battery. They say it has 500 CCA's and it has really good reviews. Amazon has it on sale for $159 and it is supposedly in stock. So, as they say, we'll see!
I've been using that battery for sometime now, expecting delivery of one today as a matter of fact. I did have to return one in july for a full refund and they just recently came back in stock, I get mine at batterymart, I think I paid 169 after a coupon code. I change mine out every three years just because.

Rode home from Daytona Biketoberfest yesterday. Great ride, 60 for a low and 69 for a high, sunny all the way. Little over 1500 miles on the bike this trip, had a blast. Sons of Speed was fun, but dang hot out.
-
I swapped the original handlebar for an FBI EZ (Fat Baggers 1¼ "Pointed Top Handlebar 10" Chrome).
Easy installation of the cables due to the EZ Install - no more need to fight internal wiring. The clutch cable was laid a bit strict, but I was able to move it a bit.
I'm absolutely thrilled with the new handlebars, it rides a lot better straight away. 8)

Took a nice little 200 mile ride with good friends on a beautiful Indian Summer day. It got up to about 70 which is rare up here this time of year. We dined at a new to us spot in the little town of Riner, Va called Buffalo and More that serve buffalo meat raised on their own farm. It was probably the best Buffalo burger I've ever had.
Then circled back home across Route 52 with the trees in pretty much full on fall color.
If this ends up being our last ride of the season, it was an epic one to end this year on.
-
Did and oil change, check the belt and other fasteners. Then gave her a real good bath.
-
The day started out at 24 degrees up here in the mountains but eventually warmed up to 55 or so.
Decided to pull Ol Betsy out of hibernation and give her a little outing before the snow starts flying.
These days the Road King gets most of the attention but the ol 2004 still runs and rides good, but it definitely feels different and has a more nostalgic feel to it.
On another note I will be getting my dads candy apple red 1982 FLH, with only 10988 actual miles, running this winter. I did a preliminary review of it last Friday and it will need new tires, new battery, new throttle cables and both front and rear brakes feel like mush. I also anticipate having to rebuild the carb. Other than a little dust it looks just like the day it rolled off the assembly line, it should be fun riding it around once I get it going, as you don't see many stock 40 year old bikes running around anymore.
My dad called her Big Red and I only remember riding it one time around 1987 I think. I was riding my first street Harley, a 1980 FXE that had been in a fire, that I built from an engine and transmission to look exactly like a 1982 indigo blue Wide Glide. I remember dad saying I couldn't handle that big bike, LOL. I said Pop, the main difference is the front wheel and 6 cubic inches. LOL

We haven't seen this much rain in Washington, they say since 2006, so between work and the weather I hadn't been out for almost a month.
Yesterday there was a pause between the rain clouds and my only dry option appeared to be to the south. I live about 35 miles up the I 5 corridor so for me that meant the Seattle area. So I jumped on Southbound Hwy 99 to avoid the freeway and headed down through the new Aurora Avenue tunnel bound for Alki Beach in West Seattle and one of my favorite fish and chip places called Spud. The bridge that connects West Seattle to I 5 and the rest of the world is closed for long term repairs so I had to follow the detour signs and find the long way around.
As I arrived at my destination the sun came out and made the whole experience worth while. Well that and some awesome fish and chips.
After I arrived back home I proceeded to dump and replace all 3 fluids since the odometer clicked 55,000 on my little jaunt.
So all in all it was a great day!
This pic is a view of the Seattle waterfront from Alki Beach.
-
Sounds like a nice ride, fish and chips sounds great.
Road the Road Glide Monday 118 miles and Tuesday road the Pan America 114 miles. Cool but sunny.

Good for you Dave. Did you say that you are fully retired now?
-
Good for you Dave. Did you say that you are fully retired now?
Medically Retired, November 14, 2019 was last day I worked. Went on Disability insurance in January 2020, then SSDI in June 2020. Disability insurance lasts until I am 65, which is 6 years an 4 months.
Bad thing is, even though SS is going up, my income will not change as my insurance goes down the exact amount SSDI goes up. If I choose to earn any money, my insurance goes down by what I earn.
So, yep I am retired. Planned to work to 65, so maybe it's a good thing I was forced to retire. I sure am enjoying it so far.
-
Well good for you Dave. Sounds like lots of hoops, especially dealing with your health concerns but you definitely seem to be making the most of it. I turned 65 a month ago and I'm planning on pulling the plug in a couple of months. My major health concern is with my eyes. I just can't see working anymore! :bananarock:

" gonna do sumtin differunt" I ended up with work related injury, couple of surgeries & on SSDI (have been since 2011. injury was in 2009) so I understand. enjoy what you have & make the most of it. :2vrolijk_21:

Installed HD #57000063 wind deflectors for buffeting when wearing Shoei modular helmet, takes care of that, there was no buffeting when wearing half helmet. I got them from the china connection for $20.22 to my door.
-
Hey Phillip where do the wind deflectors fit? Picture
BigLew
-
One end connects to a spot by the fuel tank. The other attaches to the crash bar. I like em on my 16..Stuart
-
Those deflectors came with my 15 RG. I tried with and without and could tell NO difference at all. They have been in the cabinet for last 5 years or so. Tried at sustained 60 mph & 70 mph, same day both with and without for a couple miles each. To each his own, I see no benefit. Initially I used them all the time, during love bug season one time my wife said "no way those things do anything, they are the only thing on bike without a hundred dead love-bugs", the deflectors were spotless.
-
Lets see, yesterday I took a short 120 mile ride on the CVO Road Glide. I also installed a new primary cover to replace the 117 cover since its no longer a 117. Took 7 months to get this after ordering. Last few times I ordered it was 4 to 5 weeks.
-
I also added a new Timer cover to reflect the actual engine size.
-
Mike, Here is a picture of right deflector looking down, it pushes the air up more forward instead following the curvature of the tank. It helped for my buffeting situation, modular use to vibrate slightly when up to speed. If you had certain recall done the rectangular plastic piece needs to be removed where tank bolts up and put small nylon spacer to take up space (or 1/4” shorter bolt) so everything is secure. It will be evident when you see how everything goes together. May have to put into wind tunnel with and without to prove scientific hypothesis. :drink:

Got it out of the garage from winter storage finally. Mother nature winter and cold just doesn't want to let go this year. Cleaned and re-oiled the K&N filter. Tomorrow I'm taking it in to get the new GTS HU flashed to the Boom II so I have audio again. While I went for a ride today it was the first time I really had an opportunity to use the heated grips. Holy Cow those things get hot. I only had it on 3 and I had to turn it off, it was too hot. I turned it down, but that just didn't seem to help much. Those things made to provide heat through you gloves or something? Dang they get toasty.

Remembered it would be my best reply. Traded it in for a 2020 Road Glide Limited during the 2020 Sturgis Rally and it's a mixed bag of regret vs happiness of enjoying the new bike. Had the 131 kit installed before signing on the bottom line and it's been a gas. Working in Kuwait now and got to wondering if someone here purchased the old girl from BHHD. Hadn't been able to log into this site for awhile, especially from Afghanistan and surprised I'm able to do so today. My ramblings for today, would be cool to make the Bend GTG but not sure. Almost 65 which is the bounce out age for expats working in Kuwait but we'll see what happens.
-
Got mine out of winter hibernation this past weekend and went for a 20 mile ride, just so it could be cold and crappy this week.
-
I have been riding it the last three days. Rode 334 miles Saturday on our Clubs annual Fallen Brother ride which I led. Then Sunday I rode to church, then to lunch and then a nice 100 mile ride. Rode again yesterday to the Oncologist then a nice 80 mile ride after. Raining now, so I will have to move it so I can get my car out of Garage as bike parks in front of car in garage, parallel with the door
-
Dropped it off for cams, exhaust and tuning! Can't wait!

Added mid frame deflectors. So far they seem to be keeping my inner thigh cooler. Still think I need to look into better cooling, fan assisted cooler, Love Jugs? It's early in the season and I've had it bump off the engine management/cyl shut down thingy already. Getting out as much as I can. Here in BC, Canadia, the weather has been really, really hit and miss.

I rode it a little bit, a nice 112 miles late yesterday. Was very nice out.

Love Jugs is out of stock for almost everything. I too wanted the mighty might for my 2021 SESG but no luck. I'm currently in Panama City Beach Florida at the Thunder Beach rally. Cycle Solutions out of Ft. Myers sells them as well and they don't have any and haven't had any in months they told me.
Good luck

Ya kinda get attached to something that you took 13 years & wads of $$$$$ to personalize, & my only faint regret was going nutz on the motor & 7 speed tranny, so it was hard to see it ride away but fortunately I sold it to a close friend that's ready to get off his 1985 stroked Evo, & due to some health issues I didn't feel confident maneuvering a 900 lb bike around so It was time to let Romeo go :-X. I did however buy something a little lighter a 2022 FXLR-ST getting all the paper work done now and expect to take delivery next week.

The 22 year old Road Glide (yes, CVOs existed at the beginning of the century) killed a high ratio of bugs per mile over an approximately 3 hour cruise (cue Gilligan's Island them music now).
The 23 year old FXR2 (yes, CVOs existed in the prior century [barely]) killed an equally high ratio of bugs per mile over not really any time at all (proper citation to The Beatles).
Time is on My Side (Rolling Stones) while riding and I'm having the Time of My Life (David Cook) though often it might seem I've Too Much Time on my Hands (Styx) but I'm having Big Time (Peter Gabriel). The bugs are a result of the Time of the Season (Zombies) and, though messy, are not a Bad Time (Grand Funk Railroad) so I'll take the Road King tomorrow and go Baby One More Time (Britney Spears).

Finished my 60K service last week although our weather is STILL not cooperating here in the great northwet.
I did however trailer down to the Avi Resort in Laughlin Nv. a couple of weeks ago. We rode around the area to check out the usual areas like Oatman, Kingman, Lk Havasu, Lk Meed, Needles and so on. We even took a day ride to the Palm Springs area. My 1st time there. On the way home we spent a couple nights in Pahrump Nv. which is a gateway to Death Valley Ca. and the state park there. That was my 1st time there and, as anyone who has been there knows, is absolutely gorgeous, especially the Artist's Pallette.
The temperatures were in the 80's and 90's the whole time and while we weren't complaining a bit, my bike sure was. My 128" build was tuned for our normal 50 plus degree weather at sea level so it was not a happy camper in the desert. When I returned home I got ahold of my tuner and he addressed the issue, so I should be good to go now.
Soo, back here to the unusually cold and wet weather for this time of year I sit.
C'mon sunshine!

60k service you are putting on some good miles. Curious which brand 128 kit are you running? I had a FM 128 in my ‘20 RGL but haven’t decided on what direction I want to go with the ‘22 CVO RG.
Also are you still running the lower fairings on yours? Any issues through the years? I have everything updated and my lowers should be in this week, very excited about getting them installed.
Thanks
-
I am running FM 128 kit along with Zippers 468 cam with S&S cam plate and oil pump. I'm also running Harleys 64mm throttle body and intake along with the CNC heads from a Stage IV 117 kit. Yes, I'm still running lowers and have added Boom II speakers and amp to them. Everything is working as flawlessly as possible.

Given the rare good weather here in Southern WV, Miss Susan and I took the opportunity to ride to a new restaurant over in Bastian Va. The place is called Downshift Diner and it’s decorated up Ike an old diner from the 50-60s. Food was actually really good. We then took a back way around back to Bluefield to extend the ride a bit. All in all a lovely dinner with my baby.

After 55,000 on my 2019 limited I noticed one shock seal starting to leak.
Put the shocks from the green bike on temporarily until they service the old ones.
Those shocks have been rebuilt 4 or 5 times over the years, but fit me like a good pair of shoes.
Custom built by Sandy (RIP) at Works in 2009 and best ride I’ve ever had on the baggers.
Shout out to Tim at Workz the last time he took care of me in February 2019,I’ll bring them up tomorrow.
Good people to deal with. 👍

Great weekend here in the east, but HOT 90+. Rode to Danville VA on Saturday to meet some guys that were buying a bike at the local HD dealer. While there I had them do my 1k service, activate the oil cooler fan and look over the work I did installing the lowers. They said the installation was good and bike had no issues.
Sunday rode out for breakfast and then filled the bike up and took the long way home. All in about a 375 mile weekend.
Next up, wash the bike and get ready for the next ride.

A little late but Saturday my son in law and I rode up to Priddys general store in Danbury NC this store was built around 1888 and still run by the same family. We then rode up next to the VA state line and then back down into Mt Airy NC aka Mayberry USA. From there with rode into Dobson NC to Rockford general store for a bit to eat and a cheerwine and a rest on the front porch. Then headed back home all in all about 450 miles.

I added Harley's ventilator extreme air cleaner. It's supposed to move about 40% more air. Also put on Fullsac's header and 2" baffles. Other than that, it's the "stock" 131 stuff. I bought a Star Racing "3/4 race" cam but I'm going to wait a while to add that so I can enjoy having a warranty for a while. Oh yeah, I did add Star's billet compensator ramp. I've been reading that that's a weak point so I wanted to be proactive. When I pull the gearbox to add reverse, I'm going to upgrade the clutch basket too.
I've also been moving small parts (handlebars, windshield, seat, cup holder, flag, and rear Legends, off the 16 to the new bike. I'm definitely going to sell the 16 but I have to wait until I get my fat fender from paint because I need the forks for the fat tire.
Pretty sure that's it so far.

I'm liking it,,, a lot! After having both an RGU and an RG, I find the RGU sitting more and more. That would be the best of both worlds there. I love the look of the chopped pack. Nice layout.

I just did a bunch of 60,000 mile maintenance and found a major drivability issue;
I had all 3 of the hydraulic fluids flushed (for the 2nd time) and changed along with the fork tubes including of coarse the seals. While my guy was doing a minor inspection he found a nail in my front tire (which still had about 5 or 6K miles of tread left) AND one of my rear break pads was about 30 seconds from exposing its backing plate. Both were replaced.
During my trip to Nev., Az., and Ca. last month I was experiencing some major engine pinging from about 2700 to 3200 RPM. ASSuming it was mainly the temperature and maybe some crappy gas here and there, I contacted my tuner shortly after returning home to see if some adjustments could be made. I went in today to see what could be done. Nels listened patiently as I explained what I was experiencing and then went to work. After trying to correct my tune for aWhile he came out of the booth said that no matter what he did he could not adjust it out. Then he explained that it seemed to be a fuel delivery issue. He suggested a fuel filter and if that didn't fix the problem maybe a fresh set of injectors.
So after all was said and done (this was an all day ordeal because of other customers that had appointments) my 60,000 mile original fuel filter WAS the culprit! I feel like such an idiot. I know better, or at least I do now.
So...I should be all good to go...for now.
-
I had a similar condition on a 03 RKC, some pinging, embarrasing backfiring on deceleration and a very lean smell most noticeable in the garage when shutting down.
Bike was under 25,000 miles, dealer and the indi both said they never need a fuel filter replacement.
So I ordered a new fuel filter and after replacing it all those symptoms went away.
Now you got me thinking that I should be changing the filter on my current 20I5 Limited as regular maintenance.
-
A fuel filter will now be on my 30K check list especially with the crap quality of gas these days.

didnt do to much to the bike.... but i got a new knee installed on the right hand side, so will a couple of weeks before i can ride :nixweiss:

He bought the bike, put 100 miles on it, got a left knee replaced 3 weeks ago and wanted to see if he could ride today!
Knee working good, and bike running fine.

Got a FOBO TPMS for my antiquated ride.

Recently installed a new headlight in the Road King. Dwayne turned me onto a light called Eagle Lights that he saw on a bike that rode into the campground after dark in Myrtle Beach. He was talking to the dude cause the light was so bright and yada yada yada he ordered one.
After talking to him after his initial test I ordered one.
Friday night Susan and I rode til after dark to test the light and all I can say is WOW. They say that their gen3 light is 2100 lumens on dim versus 550 for the HD Daymaker. I have no doubt that their numbers are correct. The light pattern is also spread way out to the sides compared to the Daymaker.
-
I just rode mine for 3 days on the Blue Ridge Parkway and some other great roads around Little Switzerland. Beautiful area.
-
It looks like there are many options for the Eagle Lights. Which one made you so happy? I could use something better on my 08 RK and the kids want to know what I want for my Birthday.

Gen III with Halo, not that the halo part matters, is what I got and I pretty sure that is what Dwayne got for his 2015 Ultra as well.
The guy Dwayne originally talked to had a Gen I and it was noticeably brighter than Daymaker. Gen III is just the latest and greatest i reckon.

Oooooh, they make a red one. ???

And Blue one too!!! Thank you Shrader!

Rode it to Pigeon Forge, TN, (well yesterday actually) rode the Rattler today and it was a great ride once I dried out from the torrential rainfall all the way from Gatlinburg to Maggie Valley. I honestly think I’d have been drier and warmer if I’d have jumped into a swimming pool!
-
Washed it, clay bared it, and put on some Wolfgang sio2 paint sealant. Also did the same to Kathy’s bike. Now they are as smooth as a new piece of glass.

Added nostalgic saddlebag guards. I’ve always liked the look.

Well yesterday rode about 200 miles. Took a nice ride to Everglades City to have breakfast at a little mom and pop place called Island Cafe. Food was good I've been there before. The ride was great. We have had a ton of rain here recently in south Florida so canal and lake water levels are way up. It's very cool riding the Tamiami Trail and seeing all the gators swimming along in the canal next to the rode.
Coming home I rode through 2 hard showers (it's summer in Florida rains every day) that lasted about 5 minutes each. Yeah I got soaked both times but it's so hot here by the time I got home I was totally dry.
Riding to Naples with some buds today for lunch.

Flipped the front end of my shift linkage to the inside to get it more straight and so it doesn't seem to bind. A guy on the Shark forum had issues when He went to an aftermarket linkage until He changed His around. A couple minutes work to see if it makes a difference on the clunky shifting.

Roger that, I been looking for some reviews about the rev-max, drivetrain mainly and don’t see a whole lot on the forums I visit, just curious. I know you ride regular so I thought I’d bring it up.
To keep to the thread topic I finished off my service on the CVO, 4qts 12ozs of 10w-60 engine, 1qt HD formula+ primary, !qt 75-140 mobil 1 trans.

I dropped $409 to replace the front tire....nothing special, just OEM Dunlop. My previous E3 cracked around the sidewall...though plenty of tread left. Watch those date codes when buying tires....lesson learned that you cannot trust independent shops no more than MOCO stores.
-
I turned (or had turned) my 2018 CVO Limited into a trike. As Harley seems unwilling to put an independent rear suspension in the Tri Glide I really had no choice. I also now have a 3 gal aux fuel tank so I can go at least long as the bikes can between fill ups. The kit is a Roadsmith R body.
-
How much weight is added and what differences (if any) in final drive ratio? Just wondering if power/weight changes enough that it begins to feel a little sluggish or how much the response is noticeably different?
-
I think it added 3 or 4 hundred lbs. I made no change to the final drive ratio. It is a little slower accelerating, but has no problems cruising along at 80. If I decide I need it I will put a cam in this winter.
-
Good looking Trike you have, nice job.

Was riding at the crack of dawn, sub 70* morning :orange:
-
A small group of us including wmustang, Miss P, Steve M, Steve H and Tally Ho rode across the Back of the Dragon, first hill anyway, through Saltville to Damascus to eat at the Diner there. Then on out to Shady Valley and picked up the Snake up towards Abingdon, Va. The main reason for going to Abingdon was because the William King Museum there has an exhibit called The Open Road, which is a small collection of motorcycles ranging from a 1926 Harley Single up to a 1972 Sportster. The exhibit was a bit of letdown because I expected more quite honestly.
However what I didn't know is that they also had an exhibit of old flintlock long guns, and by that I mean the type Davy Crockett and Daniel Boone carried around back in the day. There were several cases spread throughout two rooms with each case having 8 or more of these old guns.
As a gun enthusiast, although not of this particular era, it was awesome to see these weapons and to think about the history they represent. They were all so beautiful and to see the natural color and patterns within what one has to assume came from the old growth wood that existed here in the mountains prior to the industrial revolution was truly awesome.
Orange Crush ran great as usual, the only problem is that I feel I have this bike so well sorted with regard to the motor, suspension, etc that it's getting kinda hard to find something to upgrade these days.

Sorry to interrupt this thread, but can anyone tell me how to post a new topic on this forum? When I go to help, it says to look for the "New Topic" button at the top and bottom of the page. I see nothing of the sort. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you.

You cannot post a new topic from within a already existing thread. For clarification one can only post new topics within a sub group of the forum.
For instance this thread is within the General CVO Discussion sub group of the forum. It’s the most recent thread within this sub group.
If you back out one level to the General CVO Discussion you should see lined up above “views” a box labeled New Topic. Once you find and click that box you can start a new thread within the General CVO Discussion sub group. This feature works the same on all sub groups within the forum.

Good to know. I believe one of mine is blown again, and now out of warranty.

Yesterday I gave the 2019 CVO RG a very good bath. Then I packed my bags, and loaded the bike in preparation for a 10/11 day trip. My wife and I are leaving this morning for Rapid City, SD. Motor Maids International convention is there starting Monday. Looking forward to riding that area again.
-
After 4 months of waiting I received the matching passenger pegs frames for my ‘22 CVO RG. You can’t order the complete Scorched Chrome pegs, you have to order the parts.
I was already using the Kahuna collection so I just swapped the frames. Now I have matching highway pegs.

Same thing happened to me with about the same mileage. I started to plug it but then started thinking about I’ve thrown plenty of mods at the bike that cost way more than a tire, with no hesitation, why am I taking a risk with this? IMHO your safety and peace of mind are worth more than $300. I took it off and gave it to a buddy with laced wheels so he could use it with an inner tube.

Plug it !!! It will be fine it's not a sidewall you won't have any problems.

Had a similar situation a few years back and ended up running the tire with no issues down past the wear bars.

Sunday afternoon got back from a 3597 mile 10 day trip to SD. Badlands and Black Hills were fantastic. Temperatures other than on the way out were in high 70's and low 80's. Just over 61K miles on the 19 CVO now.

Dave: not quite at 60 k on my 2019 yet but got about 35k on the big motor now.
Still amazed at the quiet power and 42-45 mpg at “normal to fast” riding 2up.
Baker grudge box working out fine.
Had to “beef up” my compensator a bit, last part in the drive train that needed some attention!
We have some long rides coming up next few months along CA, NV, OR, WA so 60k miles will be there!
Just finished up my 50 k service, new rear tire (17500 on the old one), new plugs (NGK still looked ok at 40k on the old ones) and other service as listed in the manual.
Ride on!

Since all it does here in SC is rain these days I considered installing a rudder on my CVO but instead I installed Dominator 10" Meat Hook bars, Rekluse clutch slave cylinder, Fuel Moto 2-1-2 Jackpot headers and Motorola MA1 for wireless android auto.

Take the tire off, put a Quality patch on and ride away. I have done it and would do it again. I also bought a tire off a buddy who had replaced it due to a finishing nail. I got 16,000 out of that one after patching without ever a problem.

I'm just under 40K on the 130" motor. The motor needs a complete rebuild.
A lifter roller seized, made no noise that I heard so the roller and cam lobe wore together for awhile. Then a piece of the roller broke of, and the needles went though the motor as did the pipes of the roller. Believe me I heard that when it broke.

Well that just sucks!
Sounds like a complete teardown and major cleanup!
I had planned to look in the cam chest later this year just to check the condition of the cam and rollers.
I stayed with a mild cam, tts200, S&S lifters, thinking it would be easy on the valve train.
Did have to upgrade the valve springs though.
I have a set of fueling lifters that they gave me as a replacement for some I used that tested marginal.
Good customer service on that!
What are your plans? Repairs or replacement?

I stayed under 500 lift to be easy on valve train, 482 lift. Yes it does suck. Motor will be completely disassembled, cleaned and all bearing replaced and anything else that needs replacement. Crank will be inspected and trued. really the only option.

Doubt this is a failure because of the motor being built. It's a low lift cam, 482 lift so I could stay with lower pressure springs.
The roller on the lifter just seized. Unfortunately it made no noise. Metal on metal friction and it finally wore down and broke.
I had lifter failure on my stock 09 CVORG and on my 15 CVORGU. The 15 was with 44K miles the day before the warranty expired.

Rode Betsy to a Cornhole match at my sister’s church. Placed 3rd. Then rode Orange Crush down to visit the dragon store later that evening. I hadn’t washed the Ohio road dust off OC so I gave her a good bath yesterday and a wax job.
New lifters and a new front tire on the agenda later, maybe next week, but prior to MV for sure.
-
I replaced my rear tire and ordered a new set of lifters a couple of weeks ago. A few days later after about 200 miles I picked up a bolt, yes a bolt, in that brand new tire! I got it patched right away and all was good. A few days later I picked up a nail in the same tire! WTF!!! So I am now on my second new rear tire in as many weeks. Ouch :nervous:
I had the new lifters installed yesterday and so far so good.
Going for a couple hundred mile ride here in a few minutes and hoping that it is uneventful other than what Mother Nature has to offer over on Whidbey Island.

Was on the road at the crack of dawn this morning, riding on the road as the sun comes up is one of my favorite pleasures, something magical to me. This was a shakedown ride from having my bike on the lift for her yearly comprehensive physical among other things that needed addressed. I found a bolt missing from crossover pipe support on back of oil pan, I have noticed the left exhaust pipe vibrating at idle doing a walk around, I added a small spring in the compensator, I spooned it in rather than opposing to add some tension. I did this because I noticed lots of travel witness marks on the ramps and mating surface. Picture is from the good side as I screwed up right side muffler, dumbass move, I have another pair in route to me from the same type of bike. More to come on the work I did.
Go for a ride and enjoy
-
Got my last two (for now) add ons done on the new bike. Janet's cup holder and paint protection film on the saddlebag lids (or as Janet calls them "her steps" 🙄.) All I have to do now is get some more miles on it before Maggie.
To follow up on this post - after a couple days I noticed the paint film was coming loose. I did a little research and found out that it won't stick if to ceramic coated surfaces. I did have the bike ceramic coated before putting the film on so apparently that won't work. I guess we'll just have to be careful when getting on and off the bike so we don't damage the bag lids.

Be glad you have ESP. My failed lifter is costing a fortune. I will be over 4K if not 5K with a friend and I doing the work. Lifters had 40K miles on them. Cam is low lift, only 482. Not a quick ramp either.
I was hoping lifter failures were no longer with the M8, knew it was common on the 110.

No Dave it was not the lifters that failed it looked like one of the piston destroyed everything. Like it started to melt or something it cracked broke like no oil but oil pump looked ok.ESP paying 7k to build a new motor the bike is still in Asheville at the dealership. Maybe it will not be to long and I'll have it back.

Holy chit 4 to 5k on a rebuild on damage done by lifters and you're doing most of your own work? That sucks very sorry to hear that.
Does that mean I should replace my stock lifters at no more than 30k miles? I have a 2021 SESG with the 131ci kit installed.

Okay you had said you thought lifter. Wow, that is a more unusual failure. They for sure need to figure out why that piston crack or started to melt. I hope it does not take them long.
I am out around 5K on mine. When it all back together I'll add it up. Had to tear it all the way down, metal in everything. Crank was trued, pinned and weld. bottom end is going together now.

You're lucky it's just a 7 day wait Dick, I purchased a set a couple of months ago, they made to Akron on UPS, then disappeared, but that's another story, I usually would be replacing them now, but haven't rode as much this year, so I have a set ready to go when needed

You're lucky it's just a 7 day wait Dick, I purchased a set a couple of months ago, they made to Akron on UPS, then disappeared, but that's another story, I usually would be replacing them now, but haven't rode as much this year, so I have a set ready to go when needed

Get my bike back from the dealer yesterday after my motor went south on me. ESP replaced everything but one head new bottom end cylinders pistons oil pan n cooler. It was all stock motor except for SE power cam and SE street tuner after they replaced everything I had them to replace the intake manifold with the SE one. So ESP pay around 6500. Now for the breakin miles.

Had a little annoying vibration in Orange Crush that started on the ride up to Ohio in July. Checked a bunch of stuff between then and Maggie Valley and the only thing that helped was loosening and retightening the stabilizer on the front of the engine. I could actually feel the vibration go away each time I layed the bike over to either side in a curve or simply going straight and deliberately swerving right and left. But each time the bike returned to center the vibration was back.
So I finally broke down and got a new stabilizer and viola, problem solved. So if you have a little vibration, check the stabilizer. Mine at 37,000 miles had quite a bit of play in it compared to the new unit.

Mike, This one caused a whole lot of vibration, the swivel froze in the stabilizer bar and the torque broke the bolt, rode it that way back from NC, it was on my 2015 SGS, only had 8K on it

I checked for codes on my bike yesterday, PO374 CPK sensor sync error, B1154 Clutch Switch Short-to-ground showed up. I’ve never seen these on my bike so after I checked for the simple things, connections and such I cleared them and went for another ride, no more codes. I got to thinking and while in Maggie Valley on a long group ride there was several sections where I pulled clutch lever in and coasted for a long time on some downhill stretches, curves involved. This is where I have a question would coasting at speeds 30 to 40mph then engaging clutch when necessary, would it cause these codes to show up?

Okay you had said you thought lifter. Wow, that is a more unusual failure. They for sure need to figure out why that piston crack or started to melt. I hope it does not take them long.
I am out around 5K on mine. When it all back together I'll add it up. Had to tear it all the way down, metal in everything. Crank was trued, pinned and weld. bottom end is going together now.
Glad I have other bikes to ride.
After all the lifter issues people have posted in the last few months I got to thinking maybe I should take a look at mine. This new engine has about 40k miles now, bike has 65k.
I just got back from a 2600 mile road trip with the bike running fine. Loaded 2up and 85 mph running for some long stretches and stop and go in the cities. A little bit of everything as far as the trip.
Got the bike on the lift yesterday and pulled the lifters and took a peek at the cam lobes. Very little wear marks on the cam or lifters. Rollers “feel” fine.
Valve train consists of fueling springs, SE adjustable tapered pushrods, S&S lifters, TTS 200 cam. S&S oil pump and plate.
As the motor was running great, and no noise I put everything back together.
I hope I didn’t jinx myself for worrying too much!
There are alternatives to the Harley 131 kit that is not available in CA.
It just takes some builders who have had success with certain combos and a GOOD tuner.

After 30000 miles I figured it was time to change out the lifters in Orange Crush. I hoped that given the fact that I had changed the cam out at least 20000 miles ago that they would look relatively good with no need to replace the cam, which would be impossible to source since TC 24D cams have been out of production a long time.
I was very pleasantly surprised to see the old lifters looking basically new. No spalling at all and no scratches on the lifter bores. I changed them out anyway with a set of the newly re-designed S&S lifters, the ones with the oil holes at roughly 45 degrees of the body.
Should be good for a while.

Today the weather was nice, well as nice as it gets around here this time of year, so a few of us locals decided to ride to eat at a place called Sarah's restaurant near Troutdale VA. We road across the Back of the Dragon to Marion and down 16 to Troutdale. Along the way "Country Ham" lost his rear brakes so we decided to flush his brake fluid at the Advance Auto in Marion, VA. Luckily they had a bleader in the stash of tools they loan out, so the repair didn't take but maybe 30 minutes. We got to the restaurant and had a fine lunch, the owners, Bruce Cook and his lady friend Sarah, are good people and the service was very good. Some of you may remember Bruce as he and his partner once owned Stations Inn in Laurel Springs, NC. Bruce restores vintage motorcycles and has his 51 model Chief perched in the front window of the restaurant.
After eating lunch we rode on down 16 to 58 to Indepedence VA, then up 94 through Fries to 52 and over the mountains back home, with a brief stop in Wytheviie to eat some Ice Cream. Great day to ride with good friends on what may be our last ride for 2022.

Road all the way down to Pint House for a burger and a couple barley pops, must have covered 5 miles in one evening.
But well worth it.

Rode by one of my usual stops this morning to see if anything is being done for the premier car show in our area next month in Port Royal Plantation. I don’t think any hot laps will be run here unfortunately. Behind the fence is pit area, it’s being used as storage for development on Island. Vintage motorcycles are always at the show.

Replaced the kickstand mounting bracket on my 09, they had a recall/tech bulletin out back in the day. It was for lean angle, some 09 FLH models had a bracket that had more lean angle, I ignored it. It helped in my situation as I wanted less lean angle at rest. I’ve only owned the bike for 14 years.

Got home from a Sunday morning ride and no right side saddle bag, this bag carries all my tools and such so it’s prolly over weight capacity. in a frizzy I jumped in my truck and started backtracking my route. Just a mile or two up the road there it was, contents intact. Maybe it’ll buff out. :drink: First bag I’ve lost with many miles under my belt. I had a u-nut and bolt on the rear mount, dzus fastener on front. I did notice a few months ago the bolt backed out on the bag on the other side and have been paying attention. Apparently not close enough, I don’t won’t this to happen to anyone else so just a heads up. There will be a foolproof method on my bike before too long. At least I found it. :)

Well that sucks!

I hope you can save the paint!
I’m using the same mounting setup you are on 2 of my bikes, I’ll be looking more closely from now on!

I came up with this from what I had in my garage, stainless bolt, captive washer, small spacer, lock washer and same flat washer against the bag grommet, there is a small o-ring last over bolt to keep assembly in place when using for convenience. I can squash the lock washer flat just using my fingers while tightening. Gonna try it and report back. I do have some contents in this bag and glad I found it just for this reason. Maybe I should lighten the load some, I kept adding over the years till it was full, ballast for smooth sailing. :drink:

Wherever I can.
That is what I saw when I opened up my stray bag, it can still hold a pair of chaps, gloves and maybe a bottle of water if packed neatly. It’s been a welcome sight when someone is broke down on side of the road more than a few times. One of my favorite saves is using my siphon hose to drain out a full tank of diesel on a bike that stalled out. ;D
Back to normal, even got a ride in today. :orange:

Sorry to hear this.
Had the same on my prior CVO Road King, case lost while driving.
These are installed on my new CVO Street Glide: Harley Davidson 90201540 Saddlebag Bag Mount Lever Kit. I think they hold up for sure.
Take care :)

Went on a couple hour ride, to test out the recently fixed Heated seat. Had to make sure that is was not just the switch lighting up, but actually get heated buns. Well my buns heated up, so success!
Then managed to go the local (Motor City) HD dealer, and only spend a whopping 5 bucks!
Needed to fix my squeaky left side exhaust. Purchased a new rubber isolater (hangar) for the slip on. So far so good. Tried lubing the old one, but it only lasted a short time.
-
Well I guess I did save some money when I fixed the squeaking insulator on my old RoadKing by pushing in a penny between the mounting plate and insulator. Road it for another year that way before I sold it.
-
Found the auxiliary switch plug (under the seat).
Fixed the dead battery tender pigtail (P.O. did not hook the ground back up).
Moved the battery tender pigtail away from the exhaust. Discovered it has a built in protective cover. Tucked it between the oil fill and starter.

Well I took the freshly rebuilt CVO road glide for an 80 mile ride. Seems as good as ever.

Hi Fellas, Haven't posted for awhile. I replaced the heated grips on my 09 SEUC. The grips had to be ordered and cost me over $500 bucks. Didn't come with any directions but I heard they are useless anyways. I have the service manual and the supplement which were very useful. I took my time and worked on it a little bit every evening for about 5 nights. Mission accomplished and they work great. As per my heat gun they reached 107 after about 15 minutes. Everything was pretty easy except for pulling the new wires thru the left handlebar side. That was a super pain but patience and tenacity prevailed. After I finished I realized a super short cut. Most of you know that the twist grip side is basically unplug the grip remove the grip and put the new grip on. Very simple. On the left side of course that is a different story. If I had to do this job again I would use the existing wires as they are the same color codes and there is enough slack to pull so that a person could snip them and snip the wires on the new grip, solder new wires to old wires and be done in a reasonable period of time. If you are going to tackle this you are welcome to email me with any questions. Best Regards CAHDBIKER

Had these fork cartridges since 2009, they have a few miles on them. They were rebuilt once before by Traxxion 45k + miles ago. I took the project on and it turned out pretty good, All that was required was a few cans of cleaner, new bushings for the tubes, fork seals and one liter of Maxima fork oil. I did buy a generic fork service tool kit too. I'’ve been very happy with performance and ride of the AK-20 cartridges.

Weather is still hangin' tough here in central Indiana. Took a 120-mile cruise before work today. 250 more miles will make 43,000 on the year. That will beat my old personal record by 10,000 miles. 2022 was an amazing year.
EDIT: Sorry the images are so big. Not sure why it's doing that.

Rode the bike to town to get some touch up paint for the truck. Weather was great, high 60s & no rain. So took a ride from there until I got hungry, then stopped for a hamburger. Well it was 2 burgers but who's counting. After that took a ride with "no particular place to go" until I got to a particular place, then I rode home. Might do the same tomorrow, except for the paint & the burgers.

That's a great addition with everything else being left stock. A buddy of mine did the same upgrade to his 2018 CVO Road Glide and it sounds sweet. He was also able to use his stock heat shields (his is blacked out) and end caps, so it worked out really well. If you choose to do a head pipe and tune in the future you have the option of changing baffles after the CAT is gone to get your desired sound.
WIN, WIN!

Put the CVO limited on the lift and covered it up for a few weeks.

Notified the vendor of my issue with email and phone message about oddball lifter I received, I had a proper new one in my hand quickly, I realize things happen but how it’s handled after the fact is the most important thing, good customer service does exist after the sale, there was no questions or doubt from him. I’m gonna leave that where it is for now without mentioning the vendor by name, I wish he’d chime in but not sure he even visits this site. I had forgotten all about the issue. :2vrolijk_21: :2vrolijk_21:
I should have been more prompt in reporting the good customer service I experienced.
Carry on

I rode the CVO 110 miles. Stopped on the ride to order two 2023 parts for my 21 Pan America, the catiletic converter heat shield and the air deflector, both of which are on the 23 but not the 21.

I went out put some miles on it in the morning, the stopped BMW Cycles of Jacksonville to check on the progress of my 2023 K1600B 719 Edition that’s being built. Also trying to decide on whether I sell the CVO or keep it, hate to see it just sit around being ignored.

I also have a 23 K1600b GA and my CVO's. Totally different bikes and I ride all 3 about the same. Had a 19 K1600b GA that I traded on the 23 with 50K miles on it. All 3 great bikes!

You can never have to many motorcycles. I have had two since 2009, and three since 2013. Two get ridden a lot, one gets to shows and bike nights.

Got back from a short road trip to AZ.
Just clicked over 70,000 miles on the odometer.
Just over 40,000 on the 124 kit and the bike is running just as fast as after the break in a few years ago!
Big thanks to all with help getting the right parts for the build and dyno tune, You know who you are! LOL

Then, hit high winds, overcast cool weather. San Diego had mid 60’s today and drizzle.
Quite the change from Sunday at 100+ In Yuma to today with mid 60’s in San Diego!

Fixed my intermittent electrical issue that started an hour from the hotel last night. All gauges crapped out. I thought it was a charging problem and took the battery out and checked all the connections. They were good. A friend suggested to look at the connections in the gauge cluster. Unplugged the speedo/tach plug from the cluster and plugged it back in. Problem solved. Phew. Simple and free.

Thanks. It's a 2020. Nothing has been done outside of the normal maintenance schedule. I stretch oil changes out a little further than most. Motor every 6000-7000 miles, then trans/primary every other service. Motor is fairly mild, stage II with the CR480 cam. Stock exhaust from a 2018 CVO with the cat removed and Fullsac baffles.

Took the 124 m8 on a long trip to walker pass, kernville, San Diego, Yuma, then back home to SoCal.
72k miles on the bike, about 50k on the 124, about 30k on the baker trans.
Developed a small oil leak traced back to a clutch cover gasket that failed.
In the process of cutting a o-ring groove into the flat face and ditch the gasket!
Still amazed at the smooth power delivery and decent gas mileage. Best was 48mpg down to 34 mpg at speed and a strong head wind up the grades.
Thanks to all involved in the parts combo and sources.

Rode the Road King to breakfast. It made me happy.
Rode the FXR to lunch. It made me happy. But on the way home discovered the horn had died. That made me unhappy.
Rode the Road Glide to dinner. It made me happy. Just got home.
Will wipe them all down this evening. This will make me happy.
Will also put a new horn on the FXR. This would make me very unhappy if putting in stock location (because that job sucks).
Will mount horn elsewhere. This will make me happy.
This is the way.

Was a great ride this morning, headed out at the crack of dawn and first stop was at Broad river, I had some company and we both gave some space to one another. My new summertime FXRG jacket gets a five star rating but now I realize I need some summertime boots instead of my usual red wings, my dogs would like to breathe too. There is always some influence here to help you spend some monies. I’ve got one suggestion anyone else have any input for summer boots let me know please.
I hope everyone has a great day and enjoy whatever. :orange:

Yesterday I finished the cam bearings and lifter replacement on my bike, reused the pushrods for the experience of doing the job that way, and replace the breather related items in the rocker arm plates.
It started and got me back to my shop after the test ride, so I'm feeling good about this being my first time doing this type of work on a bike.

Miss Susan and I rode down to the Back of the Dragon Store for Bike Night.
Not many folks there considering it was such a beautiful evening. When we got off the bike I turned around and saw Steve Mitchell sitting at a table giving me the finger, which is our customary greeting. We had dinner there and talked with Steve then rode back home just before dark.
Nice evening
-
Today Miss Susan, Pam, Dwayne, Steve M and I rode down to Alderson WV to a little place called Stuart's. They have all you can eat shrimp on Sunday's and today they also had all you can eat crab legs.
All I will say is that Dwayne is a crab eating machine, our poor waitress wore out a pair of flip flops running back and forth bringing crab refills, and hauling the scraps to the trash. By the time we were done, her flops flopped out and her boobs flopped out, which ordinarily would not be a bad thing, but in this case was less than ideal.
We all ate too much, and couldn't even stand to enjoy a fresh ice cream once we returned to Princeton. But all in all we had a wonderful 150 mile ride on a beautiful Sunday.
-
Great name for a good restaurant. 😎. Stuart

The guy that owns the place, Stuart, looks like Sammy Hagar. Their motto is “Warm Beer, Cold Food and Ugly Women” and their hiring policies reflect that.

Dwayne, Pam, Steve, Francis, Susan and I rode down to Roanoke Valley HD today as I wanted to look at the new CVO Street Glide up close and personal. Even though it has the same frame I felt more cramped up sitting in it compared to my Road King. I really don’t care for the new tank or new rear lights, so I don’t see one in my future.
After the dealership we rode over to the Valley Grill for a delicious lunch. Then back home via a new route between Catawba and Blacksburg. It’s not a new road, just one I had never been on and specifically don't care to again, as it was pretty rough.
Once back to Princeton we stopped for ice cream capping off another beautiful 220 mile day.

Doubled the mileage on the FXR3 since I've owned it. 4,056 miles the first 22 years. Bought her May of 2021. Now just over 8,100 miles. New Andrews EV27 cam this spring and a joy to ride. I will die owning this bike.

I'm in much the same position. Got my red FXR2 right at 5 years ago. It had collected only about a 1000 miles in it's last 15 to 20 years. Fortunately had always been garaged/stored decently well. Came to me needing some maintenance but it wasn't too bad.
In my five years with it I've almost doubled its mileage and it's got right at 30,000 now. It's my favorite bike to ride unless it's summer vacation road trip type riding.

Got some new parts for my CVO. Still able to buy new parts from HD for my 15 year old bike, which is a good thing. I’m a DIY’er and just recently upgraded myself to level II parts changer. This order was mainly brake system parts. I received the order quickly using Harleys e commerce site, got a $20 gift card to use at my local dealer by the end of Sept too, my how times have changed. The order amounted to a mere $731, I got free shipping. :apple:

Thelma hit 25k miles so thought from comments at shop and forums that tappets should be replaced. Took her over to Roger Lockwood and had him replace the tappets and pushrods. S&S tappets and Quickee pushrod kit. Sounds good and now won't worry about a grenade between my legs for a while.

The baffles are welded in, the complete circumference of the baffle. Steve said there is no way to grind it out with out damaging the muffler. He is going to see if he can make a tool to maybe get it out.
There is nothing available for this motor yet. Heads and intake are redesigned. Fueling is starting to tinker with stuff for it.

Dave,

I have just over 3200 miles on it. I really like it. The motor has a very wide torque curve which is mostly flat. I feel the front suspension is better, and front brakes are much better, rear suspension is an improvement, not a significant as Harley claims. Wind management is better. I like the shape of the tank and bags.
-
Washed it. Then I installed the Extreme Heavy Breather. I also installed the Gremlin Bell my wife's niece gave me.

Do you have to have ecm flashed for the extreme breather? Also does Harley have a rain sock for it?
I ordered the extreme breather for my 2021(it's a little different from yours) suppose to get it today. Been looking for a rain sock.
I currently have the elite breather and got caught in a nightmare rain storm a few days ago here in south Florida didn't have my rain sock with me and by fluke luck kept the bike from stalling with my leg over the breather.

Replaced 6 pin plug at TCA,. this has been an issue for the early TBW bikes.
.......I was asked some detail about my fix here. I bought a prewired plug on eBay and chose this way because the wires were stretched and suspect at the plug so I needed to add length. The prewired plug came with matched wire colors, it made it easier and there was going to be solder joints anyway I went.

I took a nice 175 mile ride yesterday afternoon as it was a perfect day out. Took back roads to North of Harriman, then US 27 north to Just above Wartburg where I to 62 west to Clark Range, then US 127 south to Pikeville, then 30 East to back roads home. Great hilly, twisty roads.
TN that sure looks like a good fix.

Dave. How are you liking the whiskey neat??
I am really liking the Whiskey Neat. Gunslinger did a very good job with this paint job. The whiskey color really pops in the sun. The VVT motor is very nice, very broad torque curve. The front suspension is a noticeable improvement, front brakes have more stopping power. Rear suspension is a slight improvement. The new Road Glide fairing has improved wind management once you replace the joke of a windshield Harley puts on it. I like the new tank design and the new bag shape. Harley claims they hold more, I'll see on my first trip.
The new Infotainment Control Unit (IFCU) is very nice. You can choose three different gauge layouts. You can do everything with the new hand controls. I also like you can she what gear your are in at all time even with clutch in.
I absolutely hate the Kickstand down safety switch down alarm. It kills the bike if you shift into gear stand down, you cant start the bike stand down. If it momentairly looses connection it kills the motor.

We have had this "safety feature" in Germany for many years and is mandatory for technical approval for the motorcycle.
I'm glad you're so happy with the new CVO. Have fun with it.

I installed a Riders Backrest, from Bad Boyz Cyclez. Workmanship seems very nice. If I had a passenger it will fold forward on to rider seat. It has height adjustment and angle adjustment for the pad. Right now its at lowest point. I think that's going to be right for me. Hope to ride today to test. If I need lower I'll simply take 1.5 inches off the bottom of the flat bar that goes in mount.

Nice to see they're making them with more adjustments. I have one of theirs in my '12 and really like it. I had my buddy modify the bracket to go back further though as it was too far forward for my liking.

I had that bracket on my 17, 18 and 19. This is sturdier and better made.
Took a 98 mile ride yesterday. I need to adjust the pad forward 1/4 to /1/2 inch I think Set screw may be an issue. It was as tight as a dare get it, bending allen wrench. When I got home it was loose. I may also want it a little lower than it is.

GKroadking, that seat looks really good. I always liked the paint job on your bike and the seat complements it.
I took a 158 mile ride yesterday, over to SMHD to have a cigar with a friend, then over to the Foothills park way, than along 129 and the little TN river to home. Beautiful day, 72 degrees except on top of the Foothills where it was 63. Fall colors were great on the Foothills.

Thanks Dave for the compliment and thanks for your nice comment. I appreciate that.
Your new CVO looks great and I'm pleased that you're happy with the new bike. Ride safe.

Had a nice ride yesterday. Rode down to Cleveland, the Tennessee State Veterans home were we met up with some other AmVets. We ran bingo with prizes for the Resident Veterans. The Resident Veterans had a blast. Afterwards I continued riding to enjoy the beautiful and and fall colors, 190 mile day.

Dave, it's fantastic that you're enjoying that new scooter so much. But from reading on here you thoroughly enjoy a performance bike. So I'm curious as hell, does that 121 ci have enough balls? Or are you itching for more?

I really do like a well built bike, my 13 CVO King and My 19 CVO Road Glide were a blast to ride. Both bikes were built for broad torque curves.
This bike has a very broad torque curve. So it has good torque most the RPM range once it comes up. The bike feels like it has more power than it does. The fact that this VVT is new to Harley I am not anxious to void the warranty. I would expect Harley will have some Stage kits for it soon. A 135 Kit seems like a no brainer as this engine shares the same crank as the 135" So the cylinders and pistons already exist.
Did nice 147 mile ride yesterday on my way to physical therapy. Fall colors are great, so is 75 degrees and no humidity.

I absolutely hate the Kickstand down safety switch down alarm. It kills the bike if you shift into gear stand down, you cant start the bike stand down. If it momentairly looses connection it kills the motor.

Soundz just came out with a bypass harness for the kickstand issue. $50.
-
Standard on police Harley’s for years. A dab of silicone and a washer to fool the bike. Works like a charm.
-
I've been a Road Captain for many years and you wouldn't believe how many people leave their kickstand down while taking off in group rides!
The worst thing is some forget their NOT in neutral and start their bike even before they get on! Metric bikes have had that for many years!
-
I absolutely hate the Kickstand down safety switch. Reason is that if the switch has a failure it kills the engine. Poor design in my opinion. 50 bucks is pretty high for a simple jumper.
Yesterday lunch time rode to cycle gear to get a new pin lock for my helmet. Then late afternoon rode over to SMHD for the Dragon Chapter HOG meeting. Nice 212 mile day. Been loving our great weather this week.
-
I mad minor adjustments to the backrest, its almost perfect now. Then to a 237 mile ride enjoying the great weather and fall colors. Colors on the Cherohala Skyway were great.

We have had this “feature” for many years. You get used to it... and the switch has never been broken on any of my motorcycles.

It's strange my 2021 Pan America has this same switch, and its never once bugged me. Yet it bugs the hell out of me on my CVO Road Glide.
Did a nice 108 mile ride yesterday morning, also picked up new drain plugs and stabil for the boat while on the ride. Came home, took the boat for the last ride of the season, spent 3 hours on it, added stabil and filler her up. Safe on the lift, and will winterize soon.

Took a nice 240 mile ride yesterday through southern WV. It was warm day so I decided to run down to Mountain State HD to get a first hand look at a some new iron including a CVO Road Glide.
The ol Road King looks even better after seeing what they had to offer.
Some time ago, just before MV, I changed baffles in my mufflers from Fulsac 2.0 to 2.25. I liked the sound but felt I lost a little low end torque particularly when doubling. I decided to put the 2.0 back in, but before I did, I cut the very end of each baffle off about 1 1/2 inches. My logic being that it might change the sound having the baffle end while still shrouded by the endcap. It has worked like a charm, the bike sounds a bit meaner or more aggressive, and I got my torque back.
While doing all of this, the rubber grommet that holds the muffler on the left side was found to be loose in the metal loop it fits in. The grommet doesn't really show much wear, but it was loose fitting enough that the muffler could move around a little more than the right side. Some black tape wrapped around the grommet until it fit tight has worked well,until a new grommet comes in. I had noticed a little vibration that is now gone after tightening the muffler connection up.
I've owned this machine since new and after 43,000 miles it rides and runs better than it ever has. I have absolutely no desire to ever get rid of it.

Started out this morning on a multi day trip to AZ….didn’t happen!
Leaving Dago with calm breezes it started to get windy over the passes towards Yuma.
I called ahead to my friend and she said blowing sand there! I’ve ridden in those conditions before but I’m not taking my new bike out to get sand blasted!
I’ll try again this Saturday.

I spoke to bad boyz cycles today. The seat needs something. He sent me this and adds jell and can push me back a little. Zoom in.
-
His work looks great.
-
I really like the back rest he did for me. The stitching really matches the bike. Looks good and makes CVO seat look plain. I am now considering having him add gell and recover the seat with his stitching. I don't think I want changes to the seat, as I feel like I'm in a good position.

Got them both cleaned up and covered until Daytona Beach Bike week in March.
All done riding in Michigan for the season.

Was a busy month,
Took a ride out to Hell's Canyon in Oregon to visit the brother and then out to Yellowstone to ride with the buffalo.
Got home and had Roger Lockwood at #1 Cycles and Machines replace out the lifters and pushrods with new S&S parts.
Followed that up with a Tour Pak quick detach kit, it cost almost $1000 by the time I was done, and I already had the turn signals for the bags. Bought the HD dock and Tour-Pak bracket since I don't trust the wife's life to chinesium. Had to relocate license plate, which needed a new tail light so license plate light was on bottom, new seat, and a passenger backrest/rack when riding SG style. I really like it though and the bike rides way different without the Pak weight. Also earlier this month
Once I got everything done took an 800 mile ride to Sedona, Monument Valley and Grand Canyon.

Tour Pak removed

A few days ago I hit a very bad bump. Handle bars moved a little bit. Pushed them as far forward as possible with out removing the pin. Then I tightened them. Then I tightened them some more, hopefully they will not move again. I also to a nice little 116 mile ride.
-
I (intentionally) push my bars forward as much as they could go. Didn't remove the pin. So easy to do on this bike, it's right there. Stuart.
-
No seat on the new bike for a week or so. Took the mako for a nice 150mile ride today toward Lake Okeechobee. Beautiful day too 👍👍👌😎 Stuart.
-
70 + degrees in Missouri in November. Sunny day on top of that so took advantage. FXR got 100 miles on a dawn breakfast ride then got washed and wiped down. Road Glide got about 125 miles on a really nice afternoon ride followed by its own wash and wipe down. Should then lie and say the Road King got an evening ride to finish the day. But it didn't. Still a good day. Hope everyone else enjoyed theirs as much or more. :drink:
-
72 degrees here in East TN, road to church, then road to help with AmVets turkey shoot to raise money for Christmas food baskets. Then road to marina for a couple beers with friends. Hate the time change, usually daylight leaving marina, but no, dark yesterday. Nice 98 mile ride. Need to move the service up on my bike, its scheduled for the 17th but I went over 5K yesterday.
-
Saturday I rode up to Crackers Cafe in Indian Town. A little mom and pop breakfast joint. Around 200 miles round trip. I was trying to connect with the local HOG group and go to the Arcadia bike fest but I missed them some how.
Anyway ended up swinging by Palm Beach Harley and they had a whiskey neat SG and RG on the floor along with 2 Platinum SG's. Don't know and didn't see any prices.
Finally finally finally our south Florida weather has turned for the good. Low 70's or upper 60's in the morning with very little humidity. Next to no rain to speak of. Been waiting all year for this weather.
Gotta get my 25k service scheduled ASAP too.

Picked up a cable to go from USB to USB-C for 9 dollars at Best buy. Updated the amplifier software yesterday. Rode 87 miles yesterday testing the update. Its suppose to fix the AVC and the amp cutting out for a couple seconds and some other things. Amp did not cut out on short ride, Automatic Volume Control seemed fine.

Dave:
The AVC through the speakers right? Not using the headset for the helmet?
I looked into the cvo street glide yesterday and other than the fancy display and a few suspension upgrades there’s just not enough to make the switch for me.
I just got back from a 5 day trip through AZ and after my long upgrade to my 2019 cvo, I’m still amazed how hard it pulls in overdrive!
Averaging 41-48 mpg at mostly normal speeds , high winds, 7000’ to -212 below sea level. The bike ran like a Swiss watch.
Coming up on 60k for the big motor and about 50 k on the grudge box. Everything working fine.
Next step is to service the front forks and maybe upgrade those as well since I got them off, still debating!
It’s coming on fall here, time to start making plans for more local trips around the Southwest. 8)

The new bike with the HD branded Sena 50S AVC works for bike speakers and helmet speaker. What shocked me, was even play music though bike speakers, if you turn the wheel on the Sena the volume goes up. If playing though helmet speaker wheel on Sena or bike volume turn it up.
Rainy day yesterday, so no ride. Did get the heated gear plug out from under seat. Barley enough slack in cord to get it out from under seat.
Was going to Change chain and sprockets on Pan America Special. No master link in Chain. To remove chain you have to remove center stand, chain guards, rear fender. Thought it would be a simple task as it's a basic maintenance item.

Had the 5K service performed at SMH-D yesterday with 5565 miles on the bike. They also did a BCM update which has only been out a week. Was a chilly 43 degree ride over, but a beautiful 68 degree ride home.

Yesterday went on a charity bike run about 150 miles round trip. About 500 bikes. Organized by Miami-Dade police department. We rode from Doral the Keys.
There must have been over 100 Leo's on bikes to run this event.
I have to take my hat off to the popo for doing an amazing job. They had every single possible entrance on to our route blocked and covered. They shut down the turnpike (I'm sure that pissed off some folks) all the way down to US1. And then had US1 southbound closed off to our destination Gilbert's. I've been on a few toy runs and cluster F comes to mind describing them. Not this one.
Paid $20.00 registration fee got a t-shirt. And what a pleasurable experience.

Front forks = 80k miles
124 engine=. 52k miles on engine, 5000 mile oil change
Baker GB=. 40k miles, 10k oil change
Other normal maintenance items from the SM.
Front tire (AE) still looking pretty good with 20,000 miles. Rear tire pretty new.
Just got back from a short trip, bike is running great 👍

Good job on the maintenance. Did you do the neck bearing or did you do that at 50K when the manual recommends it?

Logged my last big ride of the year. 1,133 miles from Bloomington Indiana to Conway Arkansas and back. Got a cool T-shirt from Toad Suck HD, ate some delicious seafood at The Mighty Crab, and crossed 38,000 miles for the year. This marks the fourth year in a row we've logged over 35,000 miles. Best was 2022 with over 43,000 miles. 2020 CVO Road Glide.

I'm sure the new fork upgrade is big difference. The old oil and springs wear a bit in 81K miles. New rubber is always nice.

I had planned to order my custom race tech shocks yesterday but due to a 6-8 week wait I decided to pick up Öhlins off the shelf at my local HD dealer. I have some trips planned starting this Tuesday and wanted the bike to be ready.
The Ohlins came in cheaper (and I have some gift cards and a discount).They are setup for the heavy bagger. The Race tech were my first choice because of the front suspension I have and how well they work.
Hard decision but I’ll do some test riding today or tomorrow and get the settings dialed in.

Those are the HD keystone filler lights and will fit if you remove the oem filler panel that is in that spot.
The support arm is the same on the baggers.
I’ve had those same lights on my previous CVOs and just kept them when I sold those other bikes.
Hope this helps

I HAD to get these as the ones I originally was after were piggyback style and had no rebound adjustments. There were questions about fitment also.
I got a good deal so these were a no brainer!
I got a test ride yesterday and out of the box they were set for the bagger. Took one turn on the preload and left everything else alone. Amazing ride after my old worn out shocks.

Agree, but not many “opportunity” thieves have a set with them and not many will take the time to get the correct size from Home Depot or Amazon.
Point is, no matter what the thief is after he’ll eventually take the entire bike and part it out to get what he (she) wants.
Remember the past when they took saddlebags? Always a temporary fix for that.
Get good insurance!
JMHO of course!

I'm sure the new fork upgrade is big difference. The old oil and springs wear a bit in 81K miles. New rubber is always nice.
Got to try out my new suspension upgrades and new rubber yesterday.
Amazing ride quality with new SE rear shocks and Racetech front fork setup!
We have awesome weather for a few days and touring the desert area around Palm Springs.
Got some freeway and lots of back roads. Twisty roads, straight roads, rough roads, ripple roads, just about everything!
I may set my suspension one click softer just to play with it. :nixweiss:

Hey Mike,
Looks like life is real tough, eh? (Had to throw in a little Canadian lingo)
You're there sitting around the pool enjoying an after dinner refreshment no doubt and we're freezing our butts off up here, but thankfully not nearly the snow Buffalo had received. Yikes!
Enjoy!

No disrespect to anyone caught in the cold winter weather!
My wife won’t move, and we’re pretty much stuck in SoCal!
It’s not so bad if you know how to deal with it all.

Very true on thieves, most are opportunity. They don't have specialty tools. They take what is easy. That said, I keep my bags locked, my helmet is about the only easy thing to take on my bike and my seat. I also have good insurance.
Jealous of the weather. Monday we received the most snow I have seen since I moved here in Sept 2001, 9". It was -2 yesterday morning, snow is staying 4 days, longest I have seen it last was three days. We will be back in 50's next week, will be able to ride I hope.

This very unusual for here. I have been here 22 years and this is the most snow I have ever seen and the longest it has lasted. Normally an inch, maybe two and gone the next day or two. Once or twice a year. I am able to ride most weeks year round. 2 weeks is the longest weather has kept me from riding.
-
They have assigned me a parking spot at the local HD dealer for one week.
After that it may be flagged for tow :nixweiss:
How many dealers open 7 days a week?
-
My local dealer is open 7 days a week except Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years. Or like last week, so much snow everything was shut. Schools are still shut.
-
Had to move the bikes around a little.
The green one gets a new clutch (arrived today on ups) up on the lift! MAY have to replace lifters depending on my next “test ride”. Got those on the shelf as well.
The cvo moved to the right bay, the softail will be ridden tomorrow so it gets closer to the doors.
Spent most of my day doing chores but tomorrow should be the same as today: light winds, temp in the mid to high 70’s.
Life is good.😊

Installed the Chopped Tour Pack on my Whiskey Neat yesterday. Second time trying, Harley did not include mounting Hardware with the Tour Pack or the key matched lock. Also no Instructions with either. I was able to print instructions for mounting the Tour Pack so I could get the mounting Hardware at ACE. Being the lock is a dealer only item I could not get the instructions on line to figure out the two button head cap screws I needed. So a trip to the dealer, 56 miles one way. They don't have then in stock, but they give me the size. Yesterday, I found out the size they gave me is wrong.
I did put the tour pack on, then took an 85 mile ride. I think it looks pretty good.

Very nice addition to the bike and “practical” as well.
My local dealer is 3 miles away and not only do I call with the part number but have the parts guy pull the part, bag it and save it on the cabinets. Too many times they say they have it but don’t.
If they have to order it, I’ll get it on line myself and sent to my door, usually cheaper.
I like to support the local dealer when I can, but they only work on and stock parts for new bikes.

Tried out my new Insta360 camera for the first time. Not the most exciting footage and still learning the software. This thing is going to be awesome on the long trips through the mountains. With the 360 capability you can change viewing angles AFTER it's already been recorded and downloaded to your phone.
Footage taken on February 4th in Nashville, Indiana.

It's quick detach. It will be on most the time riding local and for two to three night trips. For anything longer, it will come off and my luggage rack will go on with my T-Bag Route 66 which can carry much more clothing.

Took a little 108 mile ride on a beautiful day yesterday. Got the correct button head cap screws to install the lock on my chopped tour pack. Got the lock installed. All and all a great day.
-
Took the front forks apart yesterday to change the settings on my gold valves for a little softer ride.
Decided to change the fork fluid at the same time.
Being a bat wing fairing, it’s pretty easy to R&R the front end.
We’ve got rain most all week but I’ll sneak in a ride later to try out the new setup.

I got in a short 53 mile ride on a sunny 59 degree day in East TN. Got the new registration for this bike and the 03 Fatboy.

Well
After three months of non-riding I decided to see if Ol Orange Crush would still start up. It was really cold in the bunker, and she turned over really slow, but did light up. So I decided that even though my tags are dead to take a little spin around Bluefield. The old girl seemed to enjoy the attention as much as I enjoyed finally getting her out.

Dug the '15 out of hibernation and went to a few dealers looking to trade it off on a new 24 RG in Whiskey Fire with the black package on it. Will sure miss those power locks if I can make a deal I like.

It's quite a bit different. Think a brighter orange vs the deeper "honey" tone in yours (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240210/b34ad4cd6a01a8a5de097c2dc5566295.jpg)

Sold her. 2 1/2 years riding in Phoenix area and just couldn't do it any more. Drivers are beyond terrible in town and can't get out of the valley without an hour 1/2 plus on the freeway. Can only ride through Prescott and Jerome so many times. Lots of nice riding in South Carolina where you can never touch a freeway for several states over, not so much here.

I had to pick up a prescription, weather was nice so I took the CVO. 23 miles to the Pharmacy. Ended up riding a nice 88 miles. Going to be nicer today but have to take my wife in for cataract surgery, for the second eye.

Took a nice leisurely 350 mile ride to visit friends in Ft Mojave AZ yesterday. Weather was perfect, no winds!
They put me up in the “Harley Room” this time, it has a Corsair diving out of the ceiling!
Great time last night especially the filet dinner at the local steak house, thanks guys.
New suspension on the bike is great! I’ve been over this route many times and it can have some bad spots. The bike handles very nice now, even when passing over triple digits!
Dave, you remember the power of your 2019, is the new bike similar?

Yes I remember the power of the 2019. No, this bike is not near that powerful. The new bike does have a wider and flatter torque curve than my previous M8 motors except the built 19. Power output on this VVT motor is similar to a Harley 131 Kit, but the VVT has a better torque curve.
I do think once the aftermarket can tune the bike, a simple came change will make a very big difference. A High Flow Air cleaner and slip ons are worth 8 foot pounds torque. Low 130's,

I took a nice little 114 mile ride, it was a sunny 54 degree day. Stopped by the dealer to have the plastic trim peace around the fork lock replaced under warranty.
I also scheduled an Appointment for the Pan America Special to have a software update and to replace the chain, front and rear sprockets. The single use nut for front sprocket final came in. I was going to do it but there is no master link. The center stand has to be removed to remove the chain. Trying to get the springs off it while on a lift was to sketchy for me.

The Chain and Sprockets wore out already?
-
The Chain and Sprockets wore out already?
The Chain is for sure, 22K miles. The bike has seen off road, and some mud. Sprockets do not look bad at all. I was always told if you replace the chain you replace the sprockets. I just do not understand why no master link. Other higher power sport bikes have chains with master link. Harley just making it where we would rather they do the work.
-
Master links have been disappearing for awhile now. Need to have chain breaker / installer kit handy these days. It's a pain to use and you can mess the links and pins up if your not careful. I prefer / miss master links also but you find less and less of them, cheaper to not provide one I guess just pick a random link and bust out the chain link kit.
-
Rode 56 miles to the Dealer, had the chain, front and rear sprockets replaced on the Pan America Special. Also had the latest software version installed. Was a nice ride home, nice day 60 degrees.

Garage Door Opener. After having one for the last 12 years, I wasn't going to go without it. 2 for 1 might sound crazy but the deal was damn near a wash. I've wasted more in a casino in one night than what it cost me out of pocket. Trade values continue to tank every time new technology hits the streets. I was shell shocked at first but got over it quickly. High interest rates aren't helping matters for people that have to do any kind of financing.

Thanks Kojak. With my back issue causing other problems the RGU just wasn't getting ridden much so it was time. Made no sense to me to keep two non Ultras in the garage and the money was right. I had that 15 since new. A little over 9 years and it was the longest I ever owned any vehicle.

I sure understand you on Trade in values are in the tank. High interest rates are hurting bike sales and car sales.

The new style garage door opener that's Homelink compatible is the main culprit I'm waiting on as it needs programmed at the dealer. Heated grips @ $400 is steep but they only have the one set right now. 2 piece seat, saddlebag guards, tour pack spacer kit to put on my chopped pack I have now. New lock set for the TP matched to the bike. A few other things I can't think of at the moment. I've already ordered all new floor boards, highway pegs and Ciro HP mounts from ebay.

That home-link garage door opener is nice, and very easy to pair. The spacer kit is definitely needed, I'm running mine solo, and it's way to close for my comfort in the solo position with the spacer. Would clearly hit with out it. Are you having them activate the Nav system? Dealer has to do it even though it says customer can. Joe had to have dealer do it.
I'm still not sure if I want to figure out how to make my chopped tour pack lock remotely like the bags. Just got my bag latch inserts I need to install.

Eventually the owner will be able to, but currently the dealer has to do it, and there are two steps they have to do to activate the GPS.
I did a nice 103 mile ride around the block yesterday. 304 south to 68 west to Crossville, then 70 east to Kingson and 304 south. Great curvy and hilly ride on a 71 degree day.

Finished up my 85k service yesterday, oil change, bug removal, etc, etc.
Made 3 trips to the hot springs last 2 months just to recharge MY batteries! LOL
60k on the 124 engine and still purring like a kitten (tiger). Amazing how nice this combo runs and the passing power when you need it. It pays to do the research when building a motor! Thanks again to all for your suggestions!
Had to replace my old worn out shocks last month and went with the H-D branded Ohlins rear setup.
Got a good deal with my discount and gift cards. Very nice ride quality.
Upcoming rally the end of the month, rooms booked, riding buddies all set, gonna be a good time!

I’m taking my first day off work this year to go ride Orange Crush. Figure I’ll ride down to Bristolto visit my favorite fishing stor, grab a bite to eat and zigzag my way back home.Just waiting for the temperature to rise a bit as it was 37 when I went in to the office for a few minutes to fix an ailing sulfur analyzer.
Supposed to warm up to 72 today but it’s still around 50 right now.

Congrats. Looks great. Enjoy. 👌

Well I just got home a little while ago. Nice little 240 mile ride today. Stopped at my favorite tackle store and BS’ed with the owner for an hour or so, then decided to ride on down to Johnson City to Wrecking Crew HD to look at some new iron. I ended up test riding a 24 Road Glide and a 23.5 CVO Street Glide that some pilgrim had bought then almost immediately traded it in on Whiskey Neat CVO Street Glide. One thing he had done was added 10” bars so I wanted to ride it to see how it felt compared to the 24 Road Glide.
The Road Glide was nice enough I reckon but I still feel like I’m riding a 49 Mercury with a deer throwed over the hood, no offense to those that like them. To me the Street Glide felt a lot better.
The 117 motor felt a little stouter than some pre 24 model 117’s I’ve ridden, and the 121 was stouter still but neither felt as strong as my built and tuned 117. Either one certainly had plenty of power to propel my fat butt around.
All in all it was a much needed fun day in the sunny mountains of WV, VA and TN.
-
Rode 56 miles over to SMHD on a beautiful sunny day. Had them install the latest software updates on my 23.5 CVO. Had a cigar and beer with a friend while they were doing that. Then took a different route home, very comfortable 76 degrees.

Did 180 mile loop yesterday with just about every twisty road in the county!
Left at 9:30, got back home at 4:00. Stopped at an Irish pub for lunch, good food!
Found out they were having big thunderstorms at home: wind, rain, lightning, hail, etc!
We had dry roads, little wind, cool (58] temps. Guess we took the right route!
One of the girls had heated gear and complained it wasn’t working. Gotta plug it in to work! 🤣

Got back around 1am this morning after completing the St. Patrick's Day Iron Butt ride. 1,111 miles in 20 hours. This one was a little longer than usual because a majority of the route was on state/country roads. Man, it was worth it, though. I had a blast riding through TN and KY. Route 192 "The Rattlesnake" in KY was especially great.

I washed Whiskey, the 23 CVO RG in the morning. Ate a quick bite for lunch. Then I rode Whiskey 78 miles down to GA, Burnout Cycles for their 2 year anniversary party. Massive turn out for this, must have been for the free beer LOL. At least 8 MC's there, they had an area set up for a couple stunt riders, they were very talented but nuts. Got to visit with a lot of MC folks I know. Then I took the long way home. On 30 east bound, great twisty mountain road dropping in to Dayton the county all but ruined it. Tar snakes through all the curves. Great 196 mile day with perfect weather, high was 76.

Only about 80 miles today but logged a 5,500 mile month for March. Not bad for not taking any trips and having to work some overtime. 2024 is shaping up to be my best year yet.

Rainy day yesterday. Finally got around to programing the second garage door opener on the Home Link on the bike. Is nice to be able to open either garage door. Home link on the CVO's will handle 3 openers. 1 from flash to pass, the other two are from the IFCU.

Now you need to figure out an app on Carplay so you can just tell it to open the garage door from your headset.

I can tell Siri to turn on/off the fan or light in the bedroom, works good

Have you tried your GDO yet?

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.
-
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. 👍
