Wheels on the ground after replacing the pan hard rod heim joints, and a bunch of other work. So far the new joints made a difference: no clunking & squeaking when I bounce the rear end up and down, and she holds a nice straight line again.

Ordered a few "goodies" that I'll add to the trike as soon as the weather warms up enough to work in the garage.
Highway foot pegs, heel boot guard, and front axle nut covers will finish the front for now and once I get the V&H Twin Slash Ovals installed it will be ready for the dealer installation of the Stage I a/c and tuner.

I bought the "50 state compliant" slip-ons (used) from a friend and I'm hoping that once I get them on that I can remove either the "packing" and/or the baffles to get a good sound but I'm going to wait and see what the service guy recommends before they attempt the tuning.

After that, a trailer hitch (for a luggage carrier not a trailer) and then I'll be ready to start the season.

Yesterday, installed the tour pack relocator, cruiser pegs, LED front signal lights with chrome and light blue lense and double vision/convex mirrors. Today I will add a new tune to the PV-2, CVO baffleized mufflers and add the front and rear new reflectors, white on front of body and red on rear of body below tial lights. If anybody would like to see the reflectors the numbers are #67900265 white and 67900269 red. Luckily we received an additional 6+" of fresh snow over night. Now roads are sanded and salted again, come on rain.

Who is the supplier for the deflectors?

I'd like to see them and I'd also like to find some more attractive reflectors (or perhaps flush lighting) to replace the OEM's on the rear side fender.

Thumbs up lift kit

I finally saved up and got the lift kit and 14 in shocks from DK. We went for a 100 mile test ride and they made a very nice improvement over the stock setup. Its time to plan a summer trip.
