Just took my Bike to dealer for 5k service this morning. going to cost $439. I will not be paying this price again. will get the dang book and do my self in garage.

 

Well I installed the HD Low profile rear monoshock on my Cherry today. Took my time as I wasn't sure how difficult a job it was going to be. Turned out to be very easy. Took me less than 2 hours including time to run to Autozone to purchase a T45 Star (Torx) Bit for the bottom screw. This screw needed a heavy duty 3/8 inch drive to break it free. I did need my bike lift to move the bike up and down, first to get the original shock out and then to align the bolts when reassembling.

Now I can almost flat foot both sides in my slip on boat shoes. Should be no problem with my thick soled riding boots. Could not go out for a test ride yet because the weather is terrible here in Central Florida....Rain, Rain and More Rain. Maybe there will be break tomorrow.

I purchased the Low Profile Front Suspension also, but will wait for my son to visit befor attempting to install. Also believe I need to purchase a special tool for the job.

I did not change out the Jiffy stand yet as recommendedt but will probably do so when I install the Lower front suspension. Will have to make sure I don't park on a up slope on the left side of the bike as the bike stands slightly more vertical now.

As soon as all checks out OK, I will have an almost brand new '18 Heritage rear Monoshock available for sale.

 

I was thinking about adding these lights also, but will hold off if there are any issues. How did you make out at the dealer? Hope all works out well for you.. those CD lights do look good.

 

I picked up my 2018 Heritage last week and really enjoyed the ride home and loved the ride and the way the bike handled but hated the seat. Just could not get comfortable and felt like I was sitting on a brick. I traded in my 09 Heritage, which was a trouble free bike loved the seat and drivers backrest.

Has anyone installed an aftermarket seat with good results? I've had some good results with Mustang seats in the past with a few jap bikes that I've owned but I'm reluctant to spend that much on an aftermarket seat until I hear some feedback from other guys with the same bike.

 

I have Custom Dynamics LED's installed in both the Front and Rear Turn Signals plus I installed their Brake light. No problems with any other lights.

 

Good job Frank glad you got it lowered my friend.
Cheers

 

Just wondering if anybody else gets moisture inside the Speedometer and consequently get streaking under the glass face?
Cheers

 

yeah everything is good, just need to get the book to did it my self. not much videos on youtube yet for our bike.

 

The sundowner seat i think feels really good. that's what i got. also got the matching passenger seat but widest width available and rear backrest. looks and feels great.
