Now i gotta post up the radio for sale.
I know there was a couple people talking about sirus radio & another about the CB.
This unit had/has both...
As long as everything goes right after work (and the gun show) I will get her back together today...
Installed a Sunpie 7" LED projector headlight with metal adaptor ring. Good light, but now headlight sticks forward from nacelle 3/8", looks odd. OEM bucket was removed to use adaptor ring. Headlight is of good quality and workmanship. Very bright. I have not ridden at night with regard to light pattern etc.
New Lyndall front brakes last week and have them almost broke in. This week I cleaned my nasty oily SE filter, pulled the plugs to check the gaps and condition. Plugs were damn near perfect at almost 15k. Cleaned them a little, antiseized and reinstalled.
I really need need to do the breather bypass soon.
Didn't all happen today..but from chasing valve train noises from my recent cam upgrade to Andrews 48s which turned into a head port (don't ask..) I installed Rockouts and drilled the return holes, replaced the head breathers and readjusted the pushrods to .145. Valve train noise is definitely reduced from what it was. Cam reversion is the same, although I did the seafoam combustion chamber clean and changed the oil to Spectro Heavy Duty Golden 20w-50 and it did seem to reduce the valve train noise even more.
I've been playing around with paint correction methods and I'm going to finish that up tomorrow(thanks to eaglefan1 for all his advice).
That and a Baker Attitude adjuster is on deck and then I'm done with wrenching on this thing for the season..
Finally time to ride..
Did a few upgrades to the bike this past week. Installed a new battery, Red led rear turn signals, smoked amber led front turn signals, Custom Dynamics Smart Triple play module with load equalizer, Signal Dynamics headlight modulator and wired the passing lamps to run will using high beam. Rear is brighter now so I am extra pleased about that.

Didn't get the paint cut the way I wanted. Need a different machine, but that's for next winter (along with chrome fork lowers)
It's good enough for this season.

Had it out yesterday for my club's Cigar Night, where it got rained and pollen'd on. Then took it out today for an annual bike blessing and to a family party. Came home and ordered a Hammock Seat for it. Can't wait to get it and replace the Badlander that's on there.

Installed my LRS 16" windshield and floorboard relocation brackets today. Now just need to get some nice weather to test them out. By the way, light tint on the windshield looks sweet. A slight bit darker than the Harley light tinted.
