What did you do to your Dyna today?
#5641
Bounced out to the garage first thing this AM; took the Wide Glide off the J&S and put a scrap piece of wood under her jiffy/extension. Removed the derby cover and the primary drain bolt to let the primary drain; then back in for breakfast; sirloin steak and eggs with 24 ounces of homebrewed Porter; I've heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, I need to start out right
Back out to the garage at noon; the primary is drained; adjusted the clutch pack and the clutch cable freeplay, 1 quart of Mobil 1 Racing 4T and buttoned her back up and took a nice ride. Back in to the garage and dropped the transmission fluid; the Redline was fresh last November when I put the bike down for her winter's nap but sleeping for that long, she needs new fluid. Used Mobil 1 75W-140 this time; I switch back and forth between Redline and Mobil 1 every other transmission fluid change but I swear, the Mobil 1 is the smoother transmission fluid. I think I'll stick with Mobil 1 in the transmission and quit with the Pepto-Bismol fluid, she's smoother with Mobil 1...

She looks good with the longer legs.

Can't beloeve I didn't do this long ago. Well worth the $6-ish each.

Finished up my brake upgrades. I added a P.M. rear 4 piston caliper, threw the DP pads it came with in the trash after the first test ride. I then got a set of Lyndal X pads, and now finally have good rear brakes.
I then decided to go ahead and add the P.M. 6 piston to the front, and put a set of Lyndal X pads before I tried the DP's it came with so it would match the rear. The fronts were good before, but are great now.

Sorry, they're bearing pullers and presses for hubs, stem, and neck. They ship with flat washers and kinda suck in the feels department.

Thanks! I'm really liking the look and feel of the bike; I did some slow speed parking lot exercises yesterday and I'm starting to get a real feel for how the longer tubes changed slow speed control.
Love the P.M. calipers on your Wide Glide Those are a great upgrade...
