Amen to that brother. I have been doing some parking lot practice drills but a little hesitant to really lean it over until I got these on.
Now in case of an unfortunate mishap I think all will be OK - nothing a little black paint can't fix if needed. I'm looking forward to more slow speed practice on the new bike! I really want to get down the tight circles, figure 8's and U-turns like the Ride Like a Pro guys (and girls) - they throw those bikes around with no effort at all.

I try at least monthly or every two months to go out and do this as a regular thing.
Meanwhile, getting ready to change all 3 fluids and adding a Baker Attitude Adjuster to the Road King. I'd been using the Hayden type but am going to Bakers. Also, I'd like to change the primary cover to one of Bakers primary covers but boy...they aren't cheap.

Installed a gloss black primary cover to replace the chrome original one. Narrowing down the blacked out parts process. Now just need front blinkers, lower faring supports and maybe handle bars. Winter project: swap out the lower legs and cans (already have parts).
I just enjoyed my glide a few days ago; some snow now. Playing the old classics, beautiful sounds coming from the speakers; Handel, Mozart Tchaikovsky, Beethoven, Strauss, etc. Very relaxing and really messes with people when the see and hear a Harley with classical music!

Snow??? Here we are still hovering around 90*F and looking out for hurricanes. Personally love all genres of music except for today's pop,rap, country, etc. Gives me the ******* to have to listen to any of it.
Enjoy your relaxation and the winter sports ahead for you. We ride all year long around my area. No winters, so no winter sports. tp
Not really to, but for... last week I picked a screw and staple in my rear tire so I ordered a set of Dunlop AE’s, bearings, and weights. Bike is 6 months old with 7500 miles on it. Figured I’d try a different set of tires.
Rode 200+ miles and went to my first motorcycle rally, the Oyster Run in Anacortes Washington (came from Seattle). Caught the ferry from Mukilteo to get there, and went the "long way" headed back and hit a lot of small towns and two lane highways. Just a great day of riding, food, beer and fun.
