My horn and my nuts are fine, thanks!!

On another topic, I just installed an MRA small shield and did just one ride with it. So far I like it with minimal turbulence or buffeting. About 3 miles at 65 mph, and a burst to 75-80 mph. I found out about it on this thread:https://www.hdforums.com/forum/2018-...oy-2018-a.html

It is for a FatBoy, but seems to fit and work fine on the LR with factory bars and 3 " risers. What do you guys think?

Looks good, Steve. I have the same bike in the same color and have been considering a screen. My bars and risers are dead stock, and I'm 5'8.

Would love more feedback from you once you log some more miles behind it.

Dan, will do. Hope to get a good ride in this weekend, and will take the Allen wrench needed to make height and tilt angle adjustments if necessary. Stay tuned.

Will do, Steve.

With all the small mods I want to make my head is swimming with options and part numbers. LOL

Thank God I checked my horn bolts this morning. They were def a bit loose. Might have invalidated my Harley warranty and don't think my GF would have been happy if my nuts fell off while riding.
