Changed the engine oil, replaced the four license plate bolts with red bulb bolts. (Just to give it more 'visual' from the rear.)
Installed front and rear camera and ran all wires. Just need to pull the chin spoiler off so that I can connect it to power. I hope this
one works well as I'm tired of the GoPro mounted on the handlebar. These cameras are about 1 inch square and almost invisible.
One is mounted on a small home made bracket on the lower triple tree, the other is mounted under the rear seat bolt.
Started preparing for Winter! First thing is the Trailer I just finished up, it's been tested behind the HHR because I won't start building the hitch for the Heritage till I am done riding this year, sometime in December probably. It was flawless @ 70 to 85 mph for over 800 faultless miles on my first Salmon Trip this year. The first picture is mocked in position so I have the dimensions I need to fabricate the hitch when I start it this winter when my activities slow.
Loaded with 6 man Tent, 20" deep air mattress, queen size pillow, 47" HD Salmon net, sleeping bag, two changes of clothes, 2 24x30 tarps, parra cord, 12v compressor to fill the mattress, and had My chest waders as well fish cleaning and bagging supplies and other misc needs. It also has 2 days supply of food and water for 2 guys fir the trip in the cooler, as well as its own power supply to run the air pump for dozens of mattress fill's as well of maintaining flashlight batteries and cell phone for up to 2 weeks without a need to recharge it. This allows no drain on the bikes charging system except the L.E.D. lights on the back. More room than I need for trips I have planned.
Base camp on the Big Manistee on it's test run, fun fun fun!
Then I just got a new package with some of the parts I will be installing on the bike this Winter, I had to settle for a less expensive 2 into 1 than the R&B Racing, I lost the 90* out,, but I think along with the new cam's and valve system upgrades, I am going to add, it will make me smile next spring??? Time will tell!
I'll be adding a few other upgrades this winter as well, but I got a start on gathering things to make it even more personal next year. Right now I got Salmon to catch, deer to put in the freezer, and when I start all the work, I'll have some hard water fishing for some fresh air breaks when that time gets here!! Life is good,,,

Made the road trip, picked up the bike and got it home, spent a lot of hours cleaning, ordered and installed the V&H Big Shots. Have a few other goodies ordered.

I decided made my FLS Slim a bit more "different" than other
Slims by saftey wiring the caliper bolts (using titanium bolts
and stainless aircraft wire)
Today I mounted new tires and brake pads on my Custom. Made in the USA Dunlop American Elite and they look real good, but I'm so tired I couldn't try them out. Maybe tomorrow.
