That's a mean, low, good looking bike.

In about 50 years and hundreds of oil changes I can’t remember ever measuring the oil that comes out.

Remember there’s at least a pint of oil in your oil filter and must of that won’t drain out.

i usually don’t measure either, but when 4 quarts didn’t even touch the stick, I wanted to see how much came out. And i had less than 4 quarts of old oil that I took out but I figured it would be real close with the oil that was in the filter. It’s still a mystery 🤔

I should have gone with the lighter tint like yours. It doesn’t look so big… and black 👍
oh well, I’ll get the card back out 😬

Default New gas tank leather bib from Three Mutts Custom Leather.

Hello,

It took a bit of time after purchase for the product. It is rough when demand overtakes supply, but worth the wait.



Placement complete!



I will be posting a separate thread on the install.

I looked through many videos and searches and there were no instructions for the 2018+ FLHC's and FHLCS'.

Thank you for your time,
Lboy06

Threw on a saddlemen, Viking swingarm bag and a pair of new Harley longstem mirrors. Mirrors definitely biggest improvement. I can see who’s going to rearmed me now.

How much was that Kit? Imzz Elite says their 15inch floating rotor kit fits the FLFB, and it's 330$
Did you swap the brakepads too?

Default Added new things

I added a swingarm bag to the bike. I love the look, and functionality of it. Also got my power vision tuner today, and flashed my ECU with stage 1.
