What did you do to, or on your streetglide today?

Wow, that is blacked out so much that it looks like you used photo editing to cut the AC out of the pic.

Lol...you're right! Looking at it again, and it does appear that way...

Finally decided to do the Lowe's mod for my bags. Even though I took it in for the clip recall, I kinda like the idea of having a threaded insert rather than just a quick twist device.

Also ordered a new fuel door cover to break up the glare from the sun a little bit. Should be in tomorrow.

I'm in the process of adding a rider backrest. Work schedule and sick wife making it a couple day project. I'm concentrating on getting the scoot dialed in for me now.
When I was shopping ..having never owned a bike or even ridden one.. I found the SG felt the most natural for me. ( at least my definition of "natural " at the time) I'm looking at seat options and handle bar changes now. I feel like I'm reaching a bit more forward than I should. The Dealer has been somewhat helpful but I think I'll hang out at a couple custom shops I know in my area and see what those guys have to say.. Wrong area to post ik.. Will move anymore info to appropriate subsection

Washed waxed and detailed head to toe... Rain and grime forced the issue. Didn't take as long as I thought it would and was actually quite a zen day...

Well today I removed the Cobra Tuner I had installed when I purchased the bike. We then installed it on my buddy's 2015 Road Glide Special along with a Screaming Eagle Air filter. He is happy and will keep him dialed in for his needs.

I went to the TTS for multiple reasons. I was a little gun shy at first with the thought of flashing my ECM, but then I thought there have been plenty of guys before me to do it and it was pretty easy. I like the thought of nothing out in the elements, back up of my factory programming, Vtune software to let me tune it with help of the Flight recorder software, it allows me to set my RPM limit to 6200 RPM like if I took to dealer and they gave it a stage one flash (Now seeing how easy and they want $150 to do it, I am glad I bought it), can see any bad codes and clear them a little easier, plus I know there is a lot more as I reading the manual.

I do want to put out a big thanks to Steve at Fullsac. I reached out to him to ask if he had a good base map based on my bike with Arlen Ness Big Sucker, Fullsac DX head pipe and then Rinehart 4" slipons. In less than 24 hours he replied and attached a map.

The removal and reinstall of the Cobra tuner plus programming mine with the supplied map via the TTS module took 2 hours. This required both gas tanks to be removed. It went very smooth and both bikes are running good.

Next up will be playing with the Flight Recorder to dial it into my bike specifically between now and putting the bike away for the winter.

Over the winter will be the install of cams. Not sure yet but looking at Andrews 48H, Woods 222 and also the TTS 100 cam that came out earlier this year.

I have to agree- pretty disappointing. I used the decorative bar-shield license plate bolts instead of the dull bolts that came with the curved plate kit.

Cool. I've heard of several other riders getting great results from TTS- and good to hear you had the gumption and skills to keep $150 in your pocket.
 
Last Thursday I had to lay it down at about 20mph because the cage in front of me wasn't paying attention in front of her and slammed on her brakes right in front of me. Luckily it was a low speed dump, so the bike and I are mostly fine. I took a solid hit to the shoulder and scraped up my left arm and knee a bit, bike took it on the left side highway peg and saddlebag. (I knew I should've gotten those bag guards though!) No major damage to anything and I was able to ride away. Just got around to readjusting the highway pegs since I needed to put the one back in place anyway, but she'll be back on the road again tomorrow morning, now that my shoulder is good enough for it.

Last Sunday 2 of my friends & I went on an Iron Butt Ride (Saddle Sore 1,000) 1,000 miles in 24 hours or less. We did 1,084 miles in 18.5 hours. It was a fun time. We rode from Lewiston, Id to Coeur d'Alene, Id then Big Timber, MT. we then turned around and went back to Coeur d'Alene, Id & home to Lewiston, Id.
I had rode over 1,000 miles in 24 hours once before but that was 27 years ago when I was only 37.
 
JMeadows- great ride. Congrats.

Now that sounds like a fun ride JMeadows and yes I can relate to the saddle sore thing with you.
 
Iron Butt indeed JM!!
Heading to the Smoky Mountains, trailer loaded ..

The Grand Rod Run is this weekend in Pigeon Forge, TN. Hundreds of muscle cars and spectators line both sides of the mile long strip through town. The surrounding areas will be packed. Be careful. I'll be up there but not on the bike.
 
Changed my oil, checked tire pressures and picking Spazz up at the airport. Tomorrow after we pick up his rental we are headed to the TN/NC border so Spazz can ride the Tail of The Dragon and other delights but totally avoiding the traffic mess north of us in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg!
