Thank you for posting that. I did clear the codes, but one of them is persistent. I might have to tear the bike apart again in order to find out where the wire has issues. The suck thing about it is that it starts and rides great. I rode all over today, and the bars are nothing short of perfect. Well, except for the code.

I have some other stuff I have to get done for the work week coming up. I guess it'll have to wait until next week. But it sure was great to get it out and ride again. It's been over a year and a half.

Never even thought to turn that cover upside down!

Amazon rain sock came in today. It's huge... I don't think it would fly off at highway speeds, it seems to wrap around the back of the air filter pretty well. But, for $14 it's better than nothing until someone comes out with an appropriate rain cover for the BMF filter.

This has been out, I don't use socks but maybe it will fit.

I replaced the original battery on my 2020 Fatty with the NOCO Lithium (NLP20) battery. My original was no longer holding a charge for very long and I was getting tired of charging it before every ride. So far so good and it starts immediately as compared to an AGM battery, which takes a couple of seconds to turn over the engine. Installation was not the nightmare some make it out to be and that is coming from someone who does not like to get their hands dirty; however, I did lose a couple of connection screws into a dark hole on the bike.

Pulled the bike outside to burn off the paint on the new exhaust, took it for a short ride while looking for a snow pile for the photo challenge thread.
Deeper and louder exhaust tone, makes a much nicer rumble over the stock cats.
Acceleration seems smoother but it's been months since the last ride.
Still waiting on the Kuryakyn lay down plate bracket, sold out/none in stock.

Rattle can that chrome tail light bezel to gloss black is a good mod.
