I had a set of modified baffles in my cvo cannons with no baffle wrap . Put some wrap on them this morning and went for a ride . I had a slight pop on decel and the packing totally got rid of it . The volume was reduced , only a bit , but the tone is much deeper and sounds better than it did before .

Rode to work and noticed my horn cover had broken off somewhere on the highway.

And I put my foot down on some gravel.... and there was no stopping it !
I tried like hell and wrenched my back and jacked up my hip.

But after a day off my back and hip feel fine.

The bike only hit the rear bracket of the floor board, never touched anything else !
I touched it up with a paint marker.
I thought for sure the crash bars would have scratches in the chrome !

(Edit... I'll post pics from my phone, for some reason my laptop won't upload pics from the phone.)

LOL, did that a few years back leaving a Burger King parking lot. A-hole in front of me slammed on brake and when I put my foot down, friggin gravel.
More embarrassing than anything else.

Default Need help!!!

Question. Can someone help me with a measurement. I’m in need of the width of my 2016 Road King for a custom sissy bar I’m designing. I’ll be connecting it to Harley’s quick release docking hardware. I’ve looked online an can’t locate the measurement I need from any sissy bars. I can’t take the measurement myself, due to being offshore at work. Thanks in advance if any 1 can help.

Yes! I went a few more miles than I planned, actually didn’t really plan at all, just started riding south. I only stopped once to eat and twice to fill up the tank, then twice at turnouts on the Talimena to get a few quick pictures. I was wondering how the seat would be on a longer ride without a backrest, since I am used to having one with my stock seat. I found myself leaning back a couple times on the highway when I had my feet on the highway pegs, but other than that I didn’t miss it. No hot spots or discomfort at all during the ride or the next morning. It sits me about 3/4 to an inch lower which is exactly what I wanted for better footing in the parking lot, backing up, etc.

I think I posted it earlier but the seat is a Mustang Lowdown solo, 76078
