Put the bags on,the trunk. .. . and road tested the new Progressive 412-4068C set at the mid position.

Just about right I'd say . ..

Yep, I've been using them for a couple of years on my Sporty. Makes a noticeable improvement!

Today I swapped the touring seat for the OEM solo seat and removed the sissy bar. I installed the phone mount on Friday.

After



RAM x-mount on a handlebar clamp base.

I was riding home from work, looked down and noticed the battery wobbling around like a drunken sailor. BOTH cheesy strap mounts on the oil tank had cracked and let go. What a **** poor design.

I'm not a great welder but it welded back together and it's all hidden.

Rode it after an auto tuning session on the Powervision. Damn those things are good. Bike is running like a swiss watch! Supper smooth throttle rolls ons and part throttle cruising.

think thats the route im going... i talked to a guy from ryca customer sales.. they said they wont have new bars in stock for 50 weeks. did you have to change any cables out?

The replacement went well, and I'm very satisfied with the outcome. It took between 3-4 hours, but I'm one who likes to stare at it and drink coffee while I'm waiting for it to submit. The most important tool in the toolbox is patience
