I figured I'd also use this thread to chronicle the mods I do to this bike. 
The first thing I did was order a new windshield.  Here's the stock.  It works decently, but still bobbled my head some.

Original Shield


I went with the Long Ride Shields 7" in dark smoke.  It is pretty good, but I may look at a Freedom Shield as well.  I had one on my Road Glide Special and loved it.

I rode out to the dealer today and picked up a a trim ring for the headlight.  I like them, but wish they wouldn't have that damn gap at the bottom.  They didn't have the turn signals, so I ordered a set.  I also ordered a set of the Custom Dynamics rings with the white on the outside that should be delivered on Tuesday.

I got these in the mail today. Power Vision and a Jackpot headpipe.
The weather is supposed to get really nice starting tomorrow through the weekend, so I will hold off installing and take advantage of some Feb ride time.

Nice bike love the color.

Keep us posted on the install of the jackpot header.  Excellent color choice!

While I'm glad that Harley finally put LED turn signals on their bikes, I really liked the Custom Dynamics Dynamic Rings I had on my last bike. The LED's have a different connector, so I ordered a set for this bike.  I also put the visor covers to match the Headlight.

I already had the highway peg mount, but had to order the matching pegs.
Also, I can't believe the bike has chrome controls, but the screws were not chrome.  Picked up a set and it looks better.

Just picked up my first CVO on Saturday.  2016 SESG in the Black Licorice.

Most Excellent!  Enjoy the new scooter!

Congrats! They are an awesome ride and the colour looks sensational!

I started pulling the exhaust off over the weekend and everything came apart easily.



The new headpipe went on a little harder than expected. It was almost impossible to get a torque wrench on the front of the engine with the lowers on, but I could not find any leaks.
The power vision flash was very easy.

I already had the 4" Rineharts on my previous bike and loved the sound with the stock headpipe. I was a little worried about it being too loud with the new headpipe, and my fears were confirmed when I took it out this afternoon. It borders on obnoxous to me.
I called fuel Moro this afternoon and they said their 4" dyno tuned mufflers should give me the volume I want, so I'll order them this weekend.

I couldn't really tell if I had more power than before because I was still getting used to the extra power from the 103, my main goal was to get rid of the heat on the right side.

That cat in the head pipe is like a resonator as well!  I'm surprised you think the Rineharts are loud. I have them with Vance and Hines power duals and I think I want louder!

Nice bike. I just bought a 16 FLHXSE and ordered my Fuel Moto jackpot 2/1/2 head pipe, E-Series exhaust, and PV2 today.  Think I'll ride it for a few miles before I do the up grade. 

[TENGEL78]

I got the Dyno Tuned mufflers installed last week and took it for a ride.  I hated it at first, but after 100 miles, it mellowed out and sounds nice and deep, but not too loud on the highway.
I was having a little decel pop, so called FuelMoto and they had me make a couple of adjustments on the Power Vision and the decel pop is gone.

I was able to snag a Corbin Classic Solo with rider backrest from a member on here at a great price.  Installed it today after work and I think it will work great.  Might get a chance to take a ride to test it out tomorrow.  It has a flame stitch that isn't an option on the Corbin site, so I'm trying to figure out how I can get the passenger pillion and Tour Pak backrest that matches.  If anyone knows, let me know.

The Seat Looks Great Brother !!!!

It was kind of a rainy weekend, so I got a couple more mods complete.  I did my 1000 mile service the other day.  With the great weather through February in Kansas, I was lucky to get the miles I did.

The first mod I did today was the Yaffee license plate.  It went on pretty easy.  I have lift, so it made it easy to get under the rear fender, but it would be a bitch on the ground.  You don't have to drill the fender, but you have to drill out the threads on the plate that is behind the fender.  I also had to swap the wires because it didn't work when I plugged it in.  This is mentioned in the directions.
I thought the black would match the black licorice, but it is pretty easy to tell it doesn't match.  I still think it looks good.  I will probably send it off for paint next winter.



I also picked up the chrome primary bolt kit and swapped them out today.  Easy swap because you can change the bolts one at a time and not worry about draining fluid.  I will probably do the other kits as I have time and our dealer does 15% off coupons every few weeks, so I'll take my time.
