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.

I put on the rear saddlebag guards and took her for a ride on Czech Route 66.
Guards are a part number 90200791. Very happy with them.
