Covid-19 projects
Has everyone found things to do? I started with my 2009 Electra Glide classic, bought some used stock mufflers and punched out the pinch tubes, bought used SE-255 ($150) cams and installed w/o adj push rods. Down loaded a canned tune from the street tuner, added LED bag lights to saddle bags.Then ordered a Arlen Ness big sucker ($130) and street tune ($195) for the 2019 Ultra Limited, bought a used set of stock mufflers for $50.00 and punched out the pinch tubes again. Added the stage 1 tune from second street tuner and stage 1 done on the 2019 and stage 2 done on the 2009. Spent around $700.00 for the two bikes and kept myself in the garage and maintaining my sanity. Now I find myself with foot drop on my left side caused by stenosis and DDD, shifting only achieved by heel/toe shifter off floor board (not good). Next project is installing the Pingel electric shift kit (#77903H) on the 2019. Hoping to find all fellow riders able to keep busy during this invisible enemy Covid-19.

I looked through my house to find things Id started but hadn't finished, so I finished off a bottle of Merlot, a bottle of Chardonnay, a bodle of Baileys, a butle of wum, tha mainder of Valiumun srciptuns, an a box a chocletz.

I had a new wrap around fender painted that I will be putting on, also ordered the black ignition switch and latch lock set that I will be swapping out also. Then ordered a curved license plat bracket to get rid of the bill board crap on the rear. And lastly a black Drag Specialties jiffy stand to replace the chrome one, and some black crown air caps for the wheels.

Same here, but my wife is working from home. I'm not so lucky which means I still have to drag my sorry *** out of bed at 3:15 am.

With the exception of having to repair a stripped header bolt , all I have to do is change all my oil's , including brake fluid , then give the bike a really good once over and she's ready to go . We still have about 3 or 4 weeks before riding can officially begin , but it will give me something to do .
I'm also working on restoring an old Italian 69 mini cycle as well , fun . Had it running when I got it , so I'm looking forward to getting it done .
Not bike related , but myself and other local musicians have been working on some new songs and writing new material . We're working on putting together a small concert at our local church to help relax the nerves this virus has caused all of us .

Yea, bike is getting a lot of love in these strange times.
- added new timing cover
- new LED CD headlights, fairing lights and rear brake light
- cleaning garage and organizing tools/equipment
Waiting for table lift to come in and will do some detailing, maybe a new derby cover, new shift linkage and minor cosmetics.
