I agree on the styling. The new RG/SG fairings look very cool and have nice modern update. I know there are issues, but they will work through them. There is a 2023 SG CVO in Dark Platinum at my local dealer that I swear calls to me as I walk in the door. "Buy Me . . . Trade the LRST for Meeeeeee"

Don't buy until the issues have been worked out. These things cost too much to be a beta tester. It usually takes Harley four years to work the bugs out of a new design, so wait four years and then consider making a purchase.

Let's put end to Winter Threads.

Get your shorts & flipflops out and get ready.
43 degrees here now but I'm ready.

Simple. Put it on top of the gas pump when filling, then once done screw it back on. Lol.

‘Same here, coworker saw me at the pumps and made a comment then pulled off. I approached her at work today and now I have a meeting with HR Monday!🥸

I take my gloves off, put them on the seat take the gas cap off turn it upside down put it on the gloves can’t forget to put the gas cap back on cause you had to put your gloves on and you had to sit on otherwise.

Kept the street safe by limiting CVOs to 100mph.
