Swing-arm bag (just waiting to arrive in a week or so)

Windsplitter install (just waiting on the brackets and spacers) - this will be off most of the time, just going to use it for long trips.

Metal toolbox - turns out that it was never shipped... so I need to place another order for it.

I don't see me doing much more..just going to put miles on it.

Turns out that the engine guard that used to be on my wife's Softail Deluxe, fits this bike... not sure if I want to install it, but I will get it powder coated black to have it ready. It is the Nostalgic Curved Engine Guard from HD.

I also noticed that the Security/Alarm system is not working. I can have the key fob inside the house and the bike starts without issues. Not something that stopped working... it just never worked... reading the manual now to see if this is something that I need to enable or something... before I take it to the dealer to have them check it out.

Yes!! I ordered, by mistake, the ABS sensor for a 2014 bike. Spacer on that bike was different... smaller... perfect for what I needed. Just needed to modify the connector so that it would fit in mine.

I did several panic tests to activate the ABS and it worked without issues.

Be interested to see some pics with a swing arm bag on the slim s, was thinking of fitting one on mine.

Have to say the FB weeks look great on your S

Swingarm bag in brown. It's just enough to hold my rain gear.

Thanks for the pic, is it a HD bag ?

Is that a BMW GS in the background ? I've had a couple of those over the years, the old 1150 & the 1200, great bikes.
