By the way, I just discovered Vulcanet wipes. They are pretty expensive, but the first product in a while that has actually made me say "Oh my god. That is really f**king good" Kind of a cross between a wipe for dirt and S100 colour restorer.

All that said, everything I have mentioned above is also fairly expensive and chemically harsh. I just have an issue with S100 cleaner as it ate the paint on a denim fairing I had once....
Looks like available only on your side of the pond.

Took it for a ride around the lake country of central Florida. Ran great but I can't wait to try out the Unit Garage CAT shield whenever it ships. It wasn't a hot day but on the longer rides I really feel the heat on right foot & ankle.

I have decided to sell the Sundowner seat. Still feel like I'm sliding down hill but its also very slippery.

I am now running one of these on the stock seat and it makes it feel a little flatter. Also tried it with the Sundowner but feels better on stock

My bike (June 2021) with a list of mods and what I think of them.
• HD low seat. I'm 5' 11" but found the standard seat a little high. This is 2" lower and better for round town. I find it tilts too forward and down though. Brings the knees up a little too high but I've found a solution.
• HD high screen. Perfect. Just the extra 3" to keep of the rain and wind and really protects my wife behind from the wind. A bit flimsy but enough. I'm not looking to change.
• Exhaust protection bar. This is a MUST HAVE and should be added when bought ! I've already layed the bike down in town and scratched the silencer. That doesn't bug me but still...easy to avoid.
• Camel skid plate. Good solid piece of kit. Cheaper than the HD one if you're Stateside. Canadian.
• A1 risers. I put these on 2 weeks ago and I love them. Even with the low seat. Position is more layed back and less arm pressure. I'm coming from a Fatbob so this suits me.
• Mosko bags. Just great.
• To go on soon - the ION footpegs from SW Mototech which allow a 15mm drop which should be more comfortable with the low seat.
• And an H&B footrest enlarger.
I will probably change the silencer but haven't decided for what yet. Screamin' Eagle probably. I really don't like the engine noise. It's nicer in SPORT mode.
Still a few electrical bugs but much better than before. I reckon they've probably fixed most of the errors.

I am coming up to my 10th anniversary of riding Harley’s and will have over 300,000 miles. I say this just to show I ride like you. I bought the 2021 PA Special in August keeping my Road Glide. Two months later sold the road glide. The PA is ALL I need!
