I had some reward points from my local dealer, so I cashed them in for a tank bra. It covers the paint at the back of the tank so you don't scratch it with buttons, buckles, zippers, etc. Looks good. I'll get a picture when I go back out into the 100 degree heat..lol

 

My advice is to put some 3M clear film under that tank bra. Mine and another persons scuffed the paint from the wind moving the bra up and down. No matter how hard we cinched it down, it "vibrated".

My worst HD purchase.

Added lower faring kit and engine guard. I was wondering if the new crash bar is as good as the bigger One and I found out it is, when I pulled out in the street to make a u-turn to bring it back up my drive way for a wash and it tilted over. Little nick on the bottom of the crash bar can’t even tell. Well she is all washed and ready to ride.

All washed ready to ride!!

 

Upgraded the audio system in the Road Glide. Replaced stock with Focal Kevlar HDK 165s and paired with JL Audio MX500/4 amplifier.






Car Toys in Puyallup, Washington (about 45 minutes south of Seattle) installed. Car Toys has shops in Seattle but went down to puyallup as the installer guy owns and works on Harleys primarily.

I'm not "blast music at red light" guy but wanted to be able to hear the stereo at highway speeds. This works perfectly. Nice clarity and yes, quite loud when I need it to be. Bass response is "meh" but I kinda expected that as no subs on the bike.

Have you played with the sound at speed setting. You should be able to set volume fairly low at low speed and stopped but have it crank itself up at freeway speed.

 

I have not. I'll need to look into that.

 

See page 47 on the 2018 Boom manual.

 

That setting hardly changes anything. It's like having the volume on 10 at a light, then it turns it to 12 at speed (at max setting). It's useless to my ears.

 

I hear the change, and I am getting hearing aids on the 28th, lol.
