What did you do to your 18+ softail today?

@FranBunnyFFXII that's definitely not the ugliest peg relocation I've seen. It almost looks like that's how it's supposed to be.

Replaced the ‘TAB’ Zombie baffles that came with the bike with TABs 2.25 Medium baffle. Sounds a little softer and less metallic. Was easy to remove the Zombies but boy what a chore it was to get the Medium baffle in. I could not line the baffle up to slip over the small, internal tube inside the muffler. Finally my wife came out and suggested using 4 long skewers to guide the baffle over the inner-tube and after a few trials it worked. Was able to slowly tap the baffle in without getting hung up on the perimeter of that inside tube.
Pipes sound great!

I'm going to have to drill locating holes for the pins that are on the relocators.
Wont to be too hard. My GF says she actually has some real foot purchase on the bike now.
I can't believe my bike doesn't have the upper bolt holes. Honestly annoying.

The remote preload adjuster makes getting the shock in and out a little more complicated but nothing major. Just a couple other things to unbolt.
I opted to buy the Kodlin shock compressor tool which made that part of the job very easy.
Having a second set of hands available makes re and re of the shock a little easier but it's certainly doable on your own.
Hope that helps, let me know if you have further questions.

I only weigh 135lbs too, but I'm fairly tall at 5ft 10.
Trying find shocks for low weight is hard haha, but the SE Ohlins one seems to be great for me.
