Ha, listening to the video, now I see why the Cobras sounded so good. Mine sound better in person, but it is what it is I guess.

 

Put in the 444 standard springs on the rear. The ride felt remarkably better over the smaller road irregularities and the bigger bumps are felt but different. I am yet to set the preload to its final setting as I liked the advice someone here on - drive it for a week and then change the settings.

They should give us the option of better shocks at the dealership. I would go for a handling package over stage 1 performance any day.
Also located avon cobras for my next handling upgrade.

 

Ordered up some new front springs from DK Custom Products.

 

Ordered a set of the HD cut away side covers.

What I WON'T be doing tomorrow is adjusting the clock on the bike, I never change it in the fall so it will be showing the correct time again.

 

Installed a new battery & went for the first ride of 2020.

 

Got some paint to touch up the patch on the front fender worn away by my tool roll . I painted a sample piece and it matches the bike perfectly . I found that I have to really shake the bottle to keep the pearlecent particles in suspension . Colour is Real Red for my 04 Roadster .

 

Re adjusted my idle mixture ( from 1 3/4 to 2 1/2) no more coughs when blipping the throttle at idle. Test rode fine......

 

Yea prob still needs an overhaul, and new tires.......LOL. Glad it was the simple fix someone suggested.

 

What are those?

 

If I had to speculate, it would be these....
