I gave mine a quick washing filled up with NO ethanol fuel and took a cold fla morning ride to breakfest. Seems for a couple of years now friday morning is the coldest day of the week? Still nice just being in the wind!!

Going to remove the seat on my '05 1500 Bobber and trim down the seat-pan and foam. Go to the local fabric shop and buy a yard of Marine/vinyl and make a new seat cover. Something with a "Gator" look to it. Should be fun. ;)

Replaced the insipid horn with a pair of Fiamms......and ordered Mac Phat Stakkers to replace the stock mufflers.....also adding Memphis Fats 17 in screen. Getting ready to put her away for the winter. maybe 2 - 3 weeks of riding left...

Installed lowers I made from 3/16 plesiglass I bought at Home Depot last week, installed LED light strips lastnight, and changed the plugs today. Of course I took it out for a ride tonight. Want to add a couple more light strips, but just about got it lit pretty good.

That's TOO SOON - Just over west in Manitoba - never park before November unless there is snow on the ground and ice on the road. But yes I will have to park for winter soon too - sigh!!!

Well today I put on my gently used rivco risers that I got from a fellow member here (thanks Gary!) & took a quick ride to confirm how much better & more comfortable the bike is now with the new risers. Will probably fill the tank soon, dump in some stabil, etc, & unfortunately, put it away till spring. I do have a question that hopefully someone knows the answer to; will kuryakyn deep dish bezels work with signal visors? The bike has some that were on it when I bought it, but I think I want to put the deep dishes on. Anyone know? I don't know if the current visors are kurys or not.

I did the same with my Straightshots last year, great sound but dulling on the heat shield. The huge River Road saddle bags cover it so I don't care, '97 1500 D. Put Marathon 880 wide white walls on just in time for the hurricane, but it's OK because I'll be doing the Polar Bear runs all winter.

I mounted my Garmin on a Ram Mount on the bar. Great mount BTW, but I am not quite happy with the position and look, so this winter I have an idea for bracket on the windshield to which I can attach the mount.
