In reality we are having a super mild winter so far. Usually by now there is a couple feet of snow cover and temps running from -10F down to -30F or worse. Right now it is hovering around the freezing mark and raining. We love it when El Nino is doing it's thing as this is what it does for us.

Here are a couple of quick cell phone pics I took that show my three winter upgrades. V&H Pro Pipe, Screamin Eagle intake, and the LePera Maverick seat which arrived today. I totally love the initial feel of the seat and hope it keeps that feel on an extended ride. It is firm like the Mustang but really hugs your butt which supports the lower back. I took some measurements with the different seats that I own. Below are the results for the distance from my crotch to the edge of the tach on the tank, the height of the seat where the driver sits above the battery box cover and the seat width. The stock seat is without the pad on it that move you forward.
Stock 11.5" back 2.5" above 13" wide (tapers out to 14 at seat pan)
Le Pera 11.4" back 2.2" above 13.5" wide
Mustang 10.5" back 3.5" above 16.5" wide
Tallboy 11.5" back 4.5" above 16" wide
If it is nice in the next day or so I will push it outside and get some pictures in better light with my camera.

I am up in Canada so I got it up here from an giant online store. Along the lines of Revzilla etc. Because our dollar sucks right now it cost me $675 with free shipping. They are a lot less down there. https://www.canadasmotorcycle.ca/cru...otorcycle.html
It depends on the year but we can start sneaking out for rides in late March to late April. This winter I am hoping it will be done by late March.

I'm looking for a good place to secure a small key chain type garage door opener on my LR. Would prefer to locate it somewhere that woukd enable me to push the button when I'm rolling into the driveway. Anyone had any success with this?

What I do is keep my garage door remote in either a side pocket of my riding jacket or in the top pocket of my other assorted riding jackets. I pull up to my drive, put bike in neutral, and hit the remote.
What are other LRs doing?

Yeah, me too. But I ride in the cold and its much harder to do with larger gloves, or when my fingers are frozen.

Here are the pictures I said I would take once I got the bike out into the natural light with my camera instead with a cell. I am really digging this new seat and the results of my power buffing all the paint make the effort that went into it worth it. The paint was really a mess before.
