Mine isn't too happy about it... but that will all go away when she gets to ride on the back of it again.

to be honest, just ride and wipe as Kees says but... I would like to replace them as soon as i had some downtime. it is a 2 day job, 1 for disassembly and cleaning then day 2 for reassembly and a shakedown. most wrenches in here can do it in 6 hours start to finish.
i did the softail in James gaskets and it came out wonderful. the road glide is getting Cometics as that is what my local indie had in stock, same price.
ymmv,
tom
