Added a rear cylinder heat shield today. It's not hot yet but this side really heats up in the summer. It's from H&B. I like the way the vent holes line up with the holes in the footrest guard. It's been thought about.

Well it was two days ago, not today, but I traded the PA in.
Bought it as a 2-up, long-distance, all-terrain tourer. Really wanted to use it for that.
Unfortunately, my now-ex-wife didn't think so. So a divorce, move, and job change later, I decided that if I'm going to bash around the Blue Ridge dirt roads, I'm going to do it on a much smaller, lighter, and cheaper bike. So I traded the PA and my 2016 RGU in on a '22 Road Glide Limited, and I'm gonna keep an eye out for a beater DRZ.
I stand behind everything I said about the PA though. It's a brilliant bike.

Well, divorce can certainly be a good thing for everyone in a lot of cases. I hope yours turns out to be a good move for you. I know that despite the pain in the *** life interruption that mine was, it was still better for everyone in the long run.
Nothing wrong with a DRZ loads of fun to be had there.

How'd you get your hands on one of these? Their German page says Preorder, and their US distributor makes now mention of it yet.
I went to the dealer for the Instrument Cluster Recall. I do like the larger fonts, and I also feel like the volume output on the audio has been increased. I normally ride with the volume at 13-14 using the SiriusXM app on the phone, and on the ride home from the dealer today, it felt much louder at 9 or 10. Really nice. I have an old Sena 20S with earplug type ear phones.
Made a bracket for the broken heatshield mount and hoseclamped it on. Since everyone else is getting the header replaced, I may or may not file a warranty claim also. Until I decide what to do, this will work.. Might add a second hoseclamp, might not, it's very solid. Every Harley I've owned, the heatshields were held in place with hoseclamps.
