Changed out the oil and filter and spark plugs. Removed the windshield but left the quick release brackets on it. Much prefer the look of the bike without a windshield but it may serve a purpose once bug season arrives in a couple months.
Making a plan on what to do about this mess on the front fender. It'd be easier to strip it and paint it black but may go for a professional job in the correct blue. It's the only major fault on the bike. previous owner shenanigans-
I called the local dealer and found they sell Custom Dynamics stuff. That's handy because our dollar is low right now so ordering from the US is costly. Planning out a swap to LED signals along with the required module to stop fast flashing. Apparently, the latest CD module works better with our Canadian model bikes than previous... our lights are different? Dunno.
The wheels have a decent shine to them now after some work with the Autosol-
You should try a wet sand and polish first. Its clearly a spray can job, but you might be able to salvage it to some degree.
It's really lumpy. Paint feels like that Tremclad stuff they sell at Canadian Tire stores. It needs to be stripped right off there. trying to decide if I am up for that.

If you're confident in painting the fender yourself, Its better to restart and do it right than to try and fix whatever was done. A good wet sand and polish should definitely improve whats there tho, if youre not into going through all the labor. Luckily it's a part you can ride without
Today I installed the freshly painted Nightster rear fender, done up to match my factory paint scheme (xl1200c). I also installed an under mount brake light, the module that converts the t/s to brake lights and installed my home made plate relocation bracket. Next time I post, will be with the 49mm fork conversion done. Just waiting on the call from local HD shop, to let me know my parts are in.
