Installed Arlen Ness mini oval mirrors on the ‘18 Deluxe. Piece of cake to install, and I like the way they look. I haven’t ridden with them on yet, but the field of view seems really good (no more looking at my shoulders).* With the bike parked, there’s about 1/2-3/4” between the end of the mirror and the tank.

*I used to own a Sportster 48, so I’m used to under bar mirrors.

That means we can expect some great pictures to come.

Our forecast has one thing in common for most if not all days
Last year was drier, I still have my fingers crossed.

I repaired a fuel leak problem in the fuel valve in the fuel tank.
The people change the valve directly (about 70$), but reading this forum, you can change the three o´rings (two o´rings in the fuel valve and one o´ring in the male connector), and you can resolve the problem.

We had a break in the weather 40s/50s and salt on the roads so I put about 50 miles on it and brought it home and did the first oil change...

love those bars! Are there brackets to relocate the turn signals with?

No bracket. The lower bolt on the side of fork covers is 5/16-24. So is the mounting hole on the turn signals. So I cut the head off a 2" stainless bolt and used that to mount the turn signals to the forks. 2 jam nuts serve to keep things in place. And i bought a caliper rebuild kit from auto parts store and used the accordion boots for the slider bolts to cover the hardware n clean it up. A few zip ties to manage the extra wire and done.
