Hey man, your shield is dirty. LOL
Always upgrade my lights. Have spent stupid money doing so but I justify that stupidity.
Have a detachable TP for both bikes but they stay on more than off for the same reason, to keep the wife happy.
Although your shield is dirty the bike looks clean and sweet. Got to love a Road King and the simplicity of them.
If you really want to sweeten the ride pretty much on the cheap, check out an LRS shield to replace the stock one. I was amazed at what a difference it made. That was at least 10 (?) years ago?

Okay... Took a spin with Tour Pak on and 2 1/2 turns. I’m very pleased with ride.
1 up 195 lbs
Tour Pak on
2 1/2 Turns 11.5” Eye to Eye
I think they are spot on... Hit some RR Tracks, Hit a sweeper at around 75, and got into it on a rough straight away.
These are better than I expected for 1 up and I really like being flat footed while wearing high top Vans.
Gotta set em up for two up next and only being 2 1/2 turns in I bet at 5 turns it will be good for two up.
Only bad bad thing was it highlighted my front suspension. Monotubes will be up next!
I’ll give the 944’s a 9 out of 10 and can say the shocks with the True Track should be standard on Touring Harley’s. This is how a bike should handle!

Oh, and if you do the above mod in the nacelle, inside there is an unused 12 volt connection for touring bike fender tip light. If you are not using it for such, it makes a great switched power source for GPS or a phone charger for you!
