62 miles round trip to the shooting range. I put about 120 rounds thru the Ruger and got home before the rain returns.

I picked up my bike from the dealer after the pipe install. Got from another HD Forum member, great deals. The low end throttle response is much better. Sound has a low rumble at idle and pretty loud. Nice decel growl. No decel pop like my Rineharts slip ons had. Really like the way the pipe sounds. Didnt have a chance to go fast due to traffic. I have Woods 22X cams and Powervision. Fuelmoto said to use the same map as my slip ons.

Went for a short putt. Got a phone holder finally and monitored the FP3. Mostly wanted to check for speedo error, but I think I'm seeing the same reading I'm seeing on the speedo directly from the ECM. I'll have to get/ use a GPS app I think? It was chilly here!

About 1/2 hour. It would have been less if I didn't have to take my handguards off.

#4 on the brake, #5 on the clutch.

They felt pretty good today. Only two things I don't like:
- They have a "boxie" profile on the front of the leaver...I prefer smooth & curved
- The flat area where your fingers go is a little shorter and further from the pivot pin. Almost like 3 1/2-finger levers instead of 4-finger levers.

All-in-all I like them better than stock. I am used to having adjustable levers on my adventure bikes, so this upgrade was going to happen sooner or later
