Got a call from the doctor last week, turns out I have a crushed disc and 2 bone spurs @ my L5 in my back.
Something to ponder while I wait for my surgery date for my shoulder......
So decided to go for a ride last night, at about 80 miles my shoulder started bothering me so I headed back home.
Managed to get about 100 miles on it.
Put my advanblack lowers on today. Over the last week i have also put on my mustang two up seat, LRS 7" megacurve windshield, turned aluminum tank console medallion and turned aluminum gauge trim
Phil: Had a laminectomy and discectomy on L4, L5 and S1 decades ago. I have found, for me anyway, is to stay active. I might have minor pain after working the back hard, but in the long run, any exercise is good for your back. Good luck on the surgeries. Maybe someday, we'll all be bionic like Steve Austin.

Can you tell me which Mustang seat is that? Thanks.
Disassembly Oil In the Intake...A lot! Blown rear head gasket.

Fingers crossed I haven't F'ed things up to where-as I need a whole new top end? FLHTPI 2002
Did a compression test after replacing front and rear head gaskets. Both reading 178 front and 180 at the rear well within 10%. Next, fingers crossed...Start Up? I wonder if a blown head gasket would cause the effect? Lots of oil in the intake? Way to much IMHO?

Well today I bought my first Harley! I traded a 2006 Suzuki boulevard in for a 2010 FLHTCU! Wow! 165 miles up to Dallas and return in a Cadillac of motorcycles. Got home and immediately bought footboard extenders IMC 7 Pin headset for my helmet and am looking for some highway pegs...Any suggestions?

Just got the Harley brand long angled chrome mounting kit 50829-07A and 49128-82 peg for my Harley. Probably will not fit yours but I am very satisfied with the quality.
Just got my Tour Pak in. I really like it (although the color doesn't match exactly). Can't believe Harley put chrome hardware on an item that goes on a bike with almost no chrome.
Just a slight difference in color - guess I can't expect them to get it 100% correct.

I recognize photos are not going to show slight differences in hue, but I assure you from this end, it looks great and color seems to match perfectly. Regarding the chrome, perhaps a coat of plast-dip might cure that. BTW, nice 911.
