Default Changed oil

Changed my own oil with Mobile 20/50 and kn filter. Saved about 40 bucks (more beer money).

Need to address a leaky primary cover, leaky petcock (new should be here tomorrow) and get rid of the reflectors.

Add Hawg Halter 6 piston caliper, stainless steel braided brake line, and RK master cylinder to the front wheel of the Fatboy.

Went for a 50 mile ride in the warmest day so far this year.
On the bike, of course the truck wouldn't have been half bad either.

Modified the slide on my carb, drilled out the vacuum hole in the slide, and put a tighter shorter spring. Adjusted the throttle cables. Went for a spin. WOW!! World of difference.

Currently installing my progressive monotubes at -2", chrome lower fork sliders, chrome carb cover, and fixed my shotgun shock. I was an idiot and ran the hose on the wrong side so the belt wore a hole ...oops

Changed the oil and checked the filter to see if there were any small bits of metal or other things from the rebuild and since it was clean, closed her up and got her ready for my next ride.

My Progressive Monotubes finally showed up late this afternoon.
Dropped them in and reinstalled the forks before dinner. I'll finish it up in the morning...

Changed her fluids and saddle soaped her bags, (sounds like a **** scene). Now I'm browsing Vance & Hines site and will probably be $800 poorer in a couple days.
