That's the stock seat in 2020 Heritage. Love it, don't need aftermarket.

 

Received a delivery from Dennis Kirk today.

I ordered the Magnum Shielding Lower ABS Brake Line in Stainless for a clearance price of $53.

Also ordered the Motion Pro rear alignment tool and their belt tension guide.

i wouldn't have bought the tools, but adding them to the cart gave me free shipping.

 

I had an Indy put a new rear tire on the FB yesterday, it had 10,985 miles on it, I went with a Metzler 888. I put around 70 miles on it today, I can's say it feels any different. The old was flattened off quite a bit.

The front was replaced almost 2,000 miles before this, first time for me a rear has outlasted a front. The right side was bald, and the left side in the same area was like new. I thought it was a suspension problem, but dealer says "normal", lol. Anywas, it was was replaced at the dealer with the OEM Scorcher.

 

I went with the Bridgestone set of tires, and the front is wearing fantastically well and looks like it has quite a lot of life left in it after 3910 Miles on it.
OEM tires were done at 5200 miles.
The Bridgestone's absolutely noticeably better handling. Not like night and day, but definitely an upgrade.
I hope this front tire lasts a LONG time.
I will definitely be buying a 2nd set of these tires in the future. I really like them.

Front: Bridgestone Battlax Adventure A41 150/70 ZR18 70W (REVERSED DIRECTION)
Rear: Bridgestone Battlecruise H50 240/40 R18 79W.

 

Three non visible maintenance items on my 2018 FLSB

Put new air in the tires. Very important to do, beginning of 2023.

Replace those POS burned out incandescent bulbs in my license plate light sockets. Big hands make it a bit of a PIA to do it, and the LED's I installed were a hella press fit back in the base with those T-15's

Cut up a 1 gallon milk jug into a 2" wide strip with a hook on one end, and shoved it up about a half inch or so, and went round and scraped all the dirt out of my fork wipers, pulled it out and took all the dirt off, then repeated with inserting about 1 1/4" and sliding it past the main fork seal and repeated the process. Think I got all the dirt, crap and gunk out of my fork seals, and saved a $650 -$700 trip to the HD dealership for a fork seal and bushing replacement, which they claimed I needed with only 15k miles on the bike and been garaged almost every day and night of it's life. No more right fork seal weeping slowly on the garage floor.

I know, just maintenance, but I bought my bike used, and the way the original owner set the bike up, with mods, suites me to a "T", perfectly. Saddleman Explorer, HD top box and rack, HD 6" risers with 2" set back, HD mustache bars, 9" Windscreen, HD saddlebag liners, and a Garmin Zumo 660 GPS hard wired in to the system. All she needs now is to be ridden every now and then.

How in USA did you get a 2022 Sport Glide when they were discontinued in 2021 year model in the USA?

 

Interesting...
I'll have to check out the Bridgestone's
I was looking at either the Michelin Scorcher's or Metzler Cruisetec's.

 

They look pretty good on the bike too.
I like em. Remember the Front Tire is a Rear tire that must be mounted in reverse on the front.
I also recommend Ride-On in the tires after they're mounted and balanced. Makes the bike ride smooth even at 130mph.

 

I like the tread on those Bridgestones, it looks like it would be good in rain. Although I don't ride in the rain on purpose anymore. I wonder if there is any diffence in the making of a front vs. rear other than the arrow. (drive vs driven rubber overlay).

Here is my tripple 8 Meztler, indy says they are a little harder compound, should last longer. No canyons to carve in Florida.....
