12" Factory 47's should be here today, I'll start install on them. Waiting on my Stereo equipment, and Native 180 Pit Bull kit. I did Put my Mustang Solo on it. Only had the bike a week so far. But today I'll ride it for sure also.

Well Yesterday afternoon I did the 45K service on my 19 CVO road glide. Hope to take her for a ride this afternoon.

Cleaned some bug guts off the fairing, and did an 80 mile brunch run with Mrs. Trigeezer.

Debadged the fuel tank then off for a short spin. There is still so much sand & gravel on the Colorado roads. Intersections are very dirty.

Then came home and removed my cigarette lighter and replaced it with a momentary button for a garage door opener.

The opener is wired to a 12v to 3v reducer, so it runs off bike power. No batteries to ever worry about.

Watched the kid take it to work. Why did I buy it again? Oh yeah - moving her up to a "real" bike.

But, But... I want to ride it....

Warranty is void anyway. Set of FM jack pot Mufflers in the box sitting in bike room. Just had to install them . Then go for a ride . I was a good idea. Not sure how long I can avoid installing the 465 S&S cam juts waiting to go in.
