Default Added Saddlebag extensions to my 2016 Rushmore Limited

Completed addition of Saddlebag extensions. I ran these on my old 2007 FLHT and wanted to personalize my new '16 with them as well. This Mysterious Red Sunglo over Velocity Red has been offered for a couple of years and is somewhat popular. I wanted to make mine different from the rest. I received a lot of compliments on my first set so I followed suit with my new Limited.
I purchased them on E-bay for just under one H-D. They shipped from CA & I received them in MKE the same week. They are advertised as direct bolt-on for vivid black bags, but I would have been disappointed had this been my expectation. The quality of the paint was ok, at best. The form and fit however was excellent. I block sanded the minor imperfections out and prepared them for paint. I ordered my paint from Colorrite.com. I've enjoyed great results with their paints on many occasions. I would recommend using them for any Harley paint project. Their website is easy to navigate and their service is prompt. My 2-tone application called for specific base coats for each color. I was able to complete this project with spray-can quantities. I had enough Mysterious Red Sunglo to do the heat shield deflectors, tour-pak light and fairing vent. I clear-coated everything out of a spray gun with material that I had on hand. Real happy with the results. Planning to do the inner fairing down the road.

Talking Replacing coax cable for radio

My coax got messed up somehow. I pulled it loose from antenna base on tour pack. Tried several different coax repairs but wasn't happy with it. Decided to buy a complete cable. Tore bike down to replace cable, put quick connect on tank crossover. Got everything back together and got good reception once again. 3 hours start to finish.

Wife laughing at me, says plug a cd in and ride! Not the point I tell her. Damn radio needs to work. Lol

Default No compression

So I installed s&s oz adjustable push rods two weeks ago and my exhaust sounded much different. Well I replaced gaskets today on my rear cyl going all the way do×n to the head gasket. I was told by a head mechanic over at HD and he told me I adjusted the push rods in correctly so as I adjusting the rear push rods I noticed I had no compression so I went threw the front cylinder adjustment and all was good then I went threw the procedure on the number 2 cyl just like the front and had no compression. Here's the catch when I have no adjustment on the 2 cyl I have compression. To me it sounds to be bad valve seals or a stuck vale . can someone give me some guidance on my situation

Thanks Guys, that's a 21" Performance Machine Galaxy. Best deal I found on it was from Coastal Moto (sponser here).
