I use the Mothers ball with Flitz metal polish, or Gord's metal polish. If the ball seems a little too soft get a polishing wheel from Harbor Freight in cotton. Haven't found a stain yet I haven't been able to remove. Sometimes it takes a while. But they all have come off. So far......

You can use a good bathtub silicone sealer when you put in the screw or bolt with a washer on both sides will seal it. Look on the inside of the trunk. There is usually some sealer around all the screws in there.
If you have a water problem take it back to the dealer. It is a Harley problem, & has been on many Trikes since they started making them. Mostly at the seal on the door.

I agree 100%. That was my first thought.

At 5800 smiles I finally removed the WARNING sticker from the Air Cleaner.

I installed the DK Comfort lift kit and the garage door remote opener that hooks into the high beam headlight switch today. So far I only put on about 25 miles so I'm still evaluating the lift kit. It sure looks better sitting there. And I love the garage door opener. I still have the warning sticker on mine Bob!

Good to hear!

Make sure you experiment with different PSI in the shocks to find the "sweet spot", remembering, as little as 2 PSI can make a significant difference in the feel of the ride.

So I went down to the garage this morning, She blinks her headlights at me, as if I don't take her out EVERY DAY. Took her for brunch, Starbucks, post office, drug store, and the long way home. She was more than satisfied, she got her 75 miles or so.
I get her home, post office left her new fangs.
http://www.jescustomaccents.com/prod...&categoryId=34 . Bought her the black ones. So I sat with her for 45 minutes and put them on. She starts blinking her headlights again. Got her mad, I said tomorrow.
Im anxious how my beard is gonna react to them!

It hit 83* here today!

Mary and I went out for a ride...we decided to try and ride only secondary roads we had never been on before.

4 hours, with several stops to check out interesting sights, and 110 miles later we got back home, with less than 20 of those miles being on roads we had ridden before.

Super nice afternoon of putting around.

Oh, and we hit some not so great roads, so we also got some good testing in on the on-board air system.

Well, yesterday we tried out those new fangs. What a major surprise. My beard stopped splitting down the middle, and blowing all the bugs out. Now, I have to go to the barber, get some chopped down.
