First minor mod, ride, and pics

Well it snowed the day after I got my new Street Glide so hadnt got to ride it since. I got my new shield in yesterday so got to go for a nice test ride to try it out. The roads were still pretty dusty so got it cleaned back up and snapped a few pictures.

LRS Xtreme shield works pretty good. Still get some buffeting but hope the wind deflectors I have ordered will help as well. Also going to order my C@C seat tomorrow which will lower me some.

Removed the reflectors, stickers on down tube, passenger pegs, and passenger strap and brackets.

In its spot waiting for mods

Very nice! Nothing like making it your own and all it takes is a little time and lots of money. Enjoy and keep us updated on any future mods.

Looks to me like it's made itself right at home in your garage..

Did you notice any difference with the new windshield?

Ya it's a huge improvement over the stock shield. Hopefully the deflectors and lower seat will make it even better.

That's what I'm hoping as well. Windsplitter, deflectors, and vented lowers..

Great look'n bike - might want to add a fork baffle to the mix too - you'd be suprised at how much wind comes up between tank & fairing...put you hand there @ hwy speed once. Ride safe!
