No today, but last weekend I rode the damn thing for 2000 miles in 60 hours and visited every HD dealership in the UK (England, Wales & Scotland). 29 dealerships in total.

The bike performed flawlessly. However I took it for it's 15K mile service yesterday and they told me the headstock bearings were shot. Fixed under warranty, but damn - they should last more than 15K miles!

Apparently the cause was water ingress and not enough grease. I told them that I have been known to ride the bike in the rain.....

Wow, that's impressive!

Headstock = steering head, I assume. Did you have any indication that they were on their way out?

Looking nice! Is the 5" windshield doing much for you?

Amazon, but it won't be staying on the bars. Maybe on the back on the passenger backrest once I add it, but I've come up with a different place to mount my amp.

Was there a pretty noticable diff between stock 107 and the 114?
