In Cotati? What did they charge you for that service manual?

 

yeah "sonoma county" harley-davidson.

not bad i just call em all stealers... $60 plus tax.. $65.xx out the door

 

Road it 120 miles up to Flagstaff and got wet the last 10 miles.
Still a nice ride.

 

Not bad... Yeah, I get it. Everyone there is nice, and it's not like they can control pricing that much. The service charges on the other hand, that's out of control.

 

Installed my new to me Mustang with backrest and took a small 56 mile ride.

 

Cheers man, yes its a Metzeler.

 

The bags are Viking Lamellar extra large with the shock cutout. They are currently mounted with Easy brackets, which are hard mounted with the back bolt all the way through the bags and the bracket into the fender.

 

To my last post I'd like to add that Wayne from DK was quick to respond to my email and has replacement parts on their way to me.

Very satisfied.

In other news I also fitted my grips



And had some fun with my heat gun



and got my third puncture in 200,000km (on my BMW GS, not my Fat Bob)

 

Glad you got that sorted out.

I (finally) took the Dyna out for a good ride. I couldn't be happier with how it rides and handles. There is nothing I want to adjust other than the the idle cable and maybe the rearview mirror a little more.

The steering makes me feel more confident but that is probably because everything is tight now. I found some loose bolts when I took the old forks/wheel off, specifically, one of the two front axle pinch bolts was wiggly loose. I took the bike out on the interstate and backroads. No wobbles, bad vibrations, or anything of that nature. And, for whatever change of posture the 14" apes provide; the seat is more comfortable and not painful - a pleasant surprise(still not great but much better). I like the bike more now!

I'll take some pictures later and post them

 

I've got the same ones with the chromed ends. Plenty of grip, although they were skinny than my previous ones so that took some getting used to.
