What did you do to Your Softail Today?

I have poly bushings, with 16" apes, and they're pretty solid. There's slight flex when I pull myself up on the pegs to ride over a bump, etc... I'm just curious if there's significant increase in handlebar/mirror vibes with solid bushings.
I ditched the rubber bushings when I first went to 10" mini-apes, the first year I had Reaper.
Cheers!

Hey Capt, won't be long after you put a few miles on those RAP's. One thing I did was mark the location of the softest setting, this way when you increase the preload you can count how many full turns on the ****. This will help you learn how many are needed for different riding situations. Enjoy.

But I have to wait until the Spring to ride it and see.

First off thanks for your service 🇺🇸
When I had my 2014 Heritage I added this thumb switch to the throttle lock screw. Much easer than trying to turn the screw . The locking screw I felt was not adequate, so I also used a small black zip tie for extra security. I adjusted the locking screw so it barely locked in place. I was still able to back off on the throttle incase of an emergency. This is the product I used. Oh, also, I put a piece of felt on one side where it touched the throttle cable. I didn’t want the two to rub against each other.

Since I bought this a few months ago I've noticed that sometimes I get a popping on decel. I bought it used from the local dealer and they can't tell me what tune it has, if any. But with the intake and exhaust it has, I know it should have some sort of tune if for no other reason than to get rid of the popping. So I went with the Fuelpak FP3. I'll be installing it one evening after work this next week. I wish now I had bought it earlier since I just installed the seat and fender rack a week ago and it all has to come back off. Poor planning on my part...
Can anyone give me a suggestion as to whether or not to leave the FP3 attached permanently and if so where to put it? Thanks in advance.

FP-3 Fuel Pak is a Godsend!
I had decel popping after I changed my exhaust pipes on my 2015 Heritage Classic . I installed HD street cannons. I then ordered a FP-3 fuel pak which literally took 10 minutes to install. I called Vance & Hines and they told me the program to use and the decel popping is gone! You have a choice to enter one of the pre programmed programs or ride the bike and let the FP-3 auto tune the bike. I have the FP-3 program installed in my phone so every now and then I check the FP-3 for updates which installs with a bluetooth connection from your phone. Great product!!!!!! Bike is more responsive, more power and runs great!
