Well it was two days ago, not today, but I traded the PA in.
Bought it as a 2-up, long-distance, all-terrain tourer. Really wanted to use it for that.
Unfortunately, my now-ex-wife didn't think so. So a divorce, move, and job change later, I decided that if I'm going to bash around the Blue Ridge dirt roads, I'm going to do it on a much smaller, lighter, and cheaper bike. So I traded the PA and my 2016 RGU in on a '22 Road Glide Limited, and I'm gonna keep an eye out for a beater DRZ.
I stand behind everything I said about the PA though. It's a brilliant bike.

Well, divorce can certainly be a good thing for everyone in a lot of cases. I hope yours turns out to be a good move for you. I know that despite the pain in the *** life interruption that mine was, it was still better for everyone in the long run.
Nothing wrong with a DRZ loads of fun to be had there.

Added a rear cylinder heat shield today. It's not hot yet but this side really heats up in the summer. It's from H&B. I like the way the vent holes line up with the holes in the footrest guard. It's been thought about.
H&B heat shield
H&B heat shield - I like the vent hole alignment.

I went to the dealer for the Instrument Cluster Recall. I do like the larger fonts, and I also feel like the volume output on the audio has been increased. I normally ride with the volume at 13-14 using the SiriusXM app on the phone, and on the ride home from the dealer today, it felt much louder at 9 or 10. Really nice. I have an old Sena 20S with earplug type ear phones.

Made a bracket for the broken heatshield mount and hoseclamped it on. Since everyone else is getting the header replaced, I may or may not file a warranty claim also. Until I decide what to do, this will work.. Might add a second hoseclamp, might not, it's very solid. Every Harley I've owned, the heatshields were held in place with hoseclamps.
