That's a nice lookin' outfit, right there! I occasionally wonder if I should've got a Low Rider and mod'd it up instead of getting the Sport Glide. There are many pros & cons between both paths. The good news is you can't go wrong with either.

I agree . I would had gotten the sport glide but couldn't justify paying more for the bags, which I would never have used , love everything else about the sport glide .

I'm the opposite...I use both side cases and my top case all week long for commuting.

What swing arm bag is that? I like the single buckle look.

I am iffy on the harley bags. I don't like having to move the signals for them to fit. I like these from leatherpros. They don't match the seat though, but still leather. My swing arm bag still looks the sexiest. Lol.

Two things today.

Made a few pulls on a dyno and came back with a somewhat disappointing 109hp/120ftlbs. Not that it's bad, I was just expecting a bit more. Though a very nice curve and breaking 100ftlbs at 2300rpms. One day when I put a real cam in we'll see...

Also found that Ohlins just released a 13.2" monoshock, which I promptly ordered. Really looking forward to that.

Those are good numbers for an EPA legal bike. Just because you now see the numbers doesn't make the bike less fun.
Do you have a link for the Ohlins?

Oh for sure, the bike is more then fast enough. Honestly it is so fast I was expecting to see higher numbers is really what I meant.

Here’s the shock.

Interesting that the stroke is only listed at 1.7". Wouldn't that make it a 3.4" travel shock...the same travel as the stock 12.5" shocks (Sport Glide, Breakout, etc.)?
