Default Gettin better with miles

I have almost 1600 miles on the FLHX now and it seems to be running better every time I saddle up.After the dyno tune and the 1000 mile service I guess the motor is staring to loosen up it really feels strong,and sounds great,pretty loud when I twist the wick on her.Getting real use to the way it handles now,throwing it around like it was my wide glide,still working on the air psi.in the shocks running about 23psi. may bumped it to 30psi. tomorrow have about a 200 mile ride 2 up see how this works out for me and the better half.The XM radio I had installed is also well worth it.

Yup, same here with the Road King. Seems to be getting smoother and stronger and my handling of the bike much better. It's a great feeling isn't it!

Wednesday my Premium Ride Hand Adjustable Touring shocks are arriving, # 54680-10 I just was not crazy about the air shocks especially two up. You might want to upgrade to them too!
