Thanks everyone for your notes! It is sooo much fun.
I spent a lot of time in the garage last night trying everything I could. Pretty much got the gadgets figured out, at least until I actually ride again and then can't remember how they work.
A few comments so far;
I got the new temp/level oil dipstick, 62946-05, and it seems to be accurate as far as the oil level goes. Really like this piece.
When I got it home one of the things I did was to check the oil level and it was almost a full quart low. I know it didn't burn or leak it with just 50 miles so be ware. I have a really good dealer and we even talked about the oil but....
The air shocks had 5 pounds, talked about that also but still low.
As for antennas, I had an in fairing AM/FM antenna installed and it worked great for the 50 miles we rode. (didn't have the XM activated yet) I don't use CB, yet anyway, so had that antenna pulled also. If I opt to use it I see plenty of options that have been posted here.
I like the bag lights. I have the Radiantz LED strip and will install that soon. Thanks to Hazer_52 for the connector info. Of course I forgot to stop at the parts counter so I guess I'll just have to go back, too bad.
Had the Tour Pak set to the rear position but could use more room still. I'm going to order the relocation plate from Mr. Anderson per posts on this site. Thanks again all.
All in all it's just such a cool bike, I really liked our 05 Road King Classic but this one beats it hands down. And the best thing of all, the wife likes it too!
So far, even in bright sun, the paint seems pretty good. I do see some difference between the bag lids and the bags but it's very slight at this point. I will watch that closely since it sounds like it can change with time.
For you guys still waiting, it's worth the wait!!
Later
Here's a shot of the right bag in the sun.....
