Default Rinehart Slip-ons

installed the Rinehart 3.5 slip-ons this afternoon.


Took it for a quick spin and no decel pops for now. Torque about the same, but it pulls like a banshee now that she can breathe a little better. Still waiting for the AC assy.

I put the same Rineharts on mine a few weeks ago. Love them! I do wish they'd had black ones but I'm getting used to all the chrome.

they seem to be out of stock on the black. I compromised with the chrome with black tips.

I really like like them as well. It’s pretty much the sound I had in my head for a long time.

Who has changed their seat? Ultimate are not ready yet. What are Saddlemen seats like besides being one piece? Tailbone pain is so bad I am almost crying on any rides longer than 2 hours despite stopping for a break after an hour or so.

The pillion pad doesn't appear to have any sharp edges, so you just need to protect the paint from the leather rubbing dirt into the clearcoat. I would use a piece of leather on mine if I had the occasion to have a passenger. But I'd rather they got their own bike
Thanks. We have the same color and looks great as solo so definitely will be pulling the plastic off. I also just ordered the Rhineharts. Will probably go with PowerVision for a tuner.

Had a bad battery, dealer gave me a new one to install. What a pain in the *** to change! Watched the video and just couldn't figure out how to unclip the rear tab on the plastic cover. Need skinny hands.

Does anyone know what size torx socket I need to remove the bags? I’m not home and I want to get the socket while I’m out.

Good grief, just pick up a set of Torx Bits for your Socket set.

It's probably just as expensive buying a single than a whole set!

Still, it might be nice to know if a tool like this covers most of what we need. One would hope that the bags and windshield fasteners are the same Torx size.
