Just trying to make the rides from Nashville to Philadelphia and back again more comfortable.

Because the PV3 isn't waterproof, I put that along with the FP3 in a freezer bag and put that in the swing arm bag. I'll put my rain suit in there too and a few tools.

Ok, I have to ask. Why do you need both the PV3 and the FP3?

Because this is my first experience with a Powervision. If something happens or doesn't feel right, I can flash back to the FP3.

Tipped the bars back so that they look inline with the forks (prefer the look and actually more comfortable when riding)
Added Willie G timing and derby covers plus a ride bell

Riding bells should be mounted as close to the ground and as far forward as possible to ward off the gremlins.

Thanks for that
Yeah you're right, I've just gone back and read the rules so will remove it and then get my OH, who gifted to me, to relocate and put it on.

Finally got a performance brake rotor installed. Galfer Wave 11.8inch gold and red.
At least this one fits LOL.

I took my '21 FB into the dealer a couple weeks ago for a new front tire, also to look at a light oil leak behind the rear cylinder. They thought it was a base gasket leak, had to get the gaskets together and called me a couple days later to bring it in. When done, I rode it home, and there was oil again.

They had to get the parts together, and called me to bring it in again. It was a complete case resealment. The parts list showed extensive gaskets, (inner primary etc) o-rings etc. Also 12.5 hours of labor. It was all covered by the factory warrenty. They were great at getting it done, no denial, and apoligized for not gettting it right the first time. SpaceCoast Harley in Palm Bay, FL.
Here is the leak, sorry the pic is grainy.

what bars are they? Do you have a straight on shot from the front or back?
