Legend air ride, heated grips, stage 2 with SE pipes and pro tuner automatic. Woke it up a bit. Now for winter to end. Here’s the increase from the stage 2, pipes and tuner. Already had an exstream air intake before.
Gave her, her first wash (last Friday) for 2019 (she was very dirty).
Got caught in the rain a couple times this last December (been a fairly mellow year weather wise for us).
A couple riding buddies and I went for a few hour ride on Saturday.
High temp was 58 with sun
Rain is slated for Wednesday and she goes on the lift for the new rear suspension.
I gave the paint a ceramic coat. Excited to get it out in the sunlight and see how it looks. Even more excited thinking about how easy it will be to keep clean over the next couple of years.
Yesterday's start on the rear suspension project:
I got to the compressor and the bracket was ...... not cooperating (so to speak).
It is either finish in the fastener holes or poorly tapped holes.
I will find out tonight.
While she is on the lift I am going to mod the hard bag brackets/hardware to except the touring (aftermarket) fasteners.
Safer and easier to install/remove.
As well as make the changes so she will except the Rushmore hard bags (I like the one hand operation allot better).
We have rain in the forecast till early next week so it was a good time for the project.

Does your bike have ABS? ie, did you get the Shotgun shock compressor for ABS models? I got the non-ABS
version. I'd like to see a close up picture of your compressor mounting with the air line to the diverter valve.
I have not seen a recent pic (2017+) that shows exactly what mine looks like (with the diverter valve mounted
to the compressor). So I'm wondering if I have assembled it incorrectly....

Yes, my bike has ABS (ABS kit)
Just the air line to diverter valve?
Once I get past the compressor bracket
I have to go home and see just what the deal is.
The rest is looking like it will go smooth, everything up to this point has gone as expected.
Either the tapped holes were not done right OR the coating on the bracket is to heavy.
Where is your compressor, diverter valve located?
By the way the diverter is not mounted to the compressor.
