Default What a day!!
Got up this AM ready to go pick up my new Road Glide, Cold..Raining...Ice, sucked. Went and grabbed my buddies enclosed trailer and headed out to pick her up. By the time I got back home with her, the weather was starting to change for the better. Pulled it in the garage and started installing the quick detach kit and sissy bar. By the time I had that done it was 66 degrees and SUNSHINE!!! Jumped on and went for a ride to my son’s house before dinner. That’s when I got disappointed again, damn thing sounded like a stock 68 VW with the stock exhaust. That was not going to work. Got her back home and up on the jack, off came the complete stock exhaust and on with the new Rinehart True Duals that were sitting in the basement waiting. Got her done and fired her up....WOW!!!!! What a difference!! She sounds absolutely awesome!!! I sure hope the weather is good Thursday.
