Added a cafe style front fairing last night, hoping to get out a bit today to see if it helps.

Ride safe everyone!

it is 53 today, but snow is forecast for Thursday night so I Took "Holly" out, stopped to Vote and topped off the tank, Washed and waxed her. the put her back in the garage. Hooked up the battery tender, and put a cover on to wait for warmer days.

Bike day at work this morning. One of the machinists bought the 100th Anniversary Heritage last Saturday to replace the bike he sold a couple of years ago. There's only 3 of us at work who ride, the third guy showed up later or his bike would be in the picture too.

Not a bad day here, little chilly around 5:30 this morning, with temps around 35* but was around 50* when we got off work. Night time temps in the low 20's coming for Friday into the weekend.

Ride while you can...

Got out for a little ride at lunch and turned the odometer over to 20,000 miles. Low 60’s and not bad out but the leaves are going to make a few spots slick soon.

Going to locate a forward set for install over the winter as I can stand the mid controls.

Have no idea what it came off of, I found it at a flea market and paid 25.00 for it. I took some 5/16ths steel, did some bending, cutting, welding, then cussing when it was too wide. did a little more cutting, welding, sanding, and painting. what i came up with is a 18" wide squared off U shape that bolted on with the fender bolts. and bolted the tour pack to it.
it took this old man 3 weeks of playing in the barn with it before i got it on the bike.
