Yeah after my 12 hour drive to go get it yesterday I turned the heater on in the garage and went to bed. this morning came out to 75 degrees and sat for about two hours tinkered and cleaned. then got all my wiring supplies ready and work on the tail lights tonight. missing some 1/4" heat shrink so I will have to go grab some in the morning.

I still am in awe, my in laws are in town and my wife keeps asking why I am in the garage with the bike and not in the house talking. My mother in law gave me a dirty look about the "I ain't your ****ing Bro" side panel. I told her I like it and it's staying for good. **** it bring on summer!!!!!

Do me a favor....I'm sure he did a good job....but go over all the nuts and bolts and make sure everything is tightened. People do miss things, and it's best to catch it NOW....when it's too cold to ride.

I sent you a PM....good info.

I really like this bike....the fairing is starting to grow on me....I wonder when the MOCO will do a Road Glide Trike??

The idea DID come to me today, as a guy here locally backed out of a deal, and thus they have a 2012 CVO Road Glide in white.

I really liked this bike! Looks ALOT better than a base fugly.

The bike difference, even with a REAL trade in offer would be too much for me to endure.

I really like the bike I have...this has been the only one that the thought has even crossed my mind on. They look that good.

Not sure why they didn't get the speakers in the top of the saddlebag lids though...
