This one time my wife asked how much I had spent on my entire gun collection. I don't think I answered directly, I just pulled into the first jewelry store I found. She's still wearing THAT ring.
Discussed buying the bike with the other half, “sure, go ahead, we can afford it.” Got the bike home and she already has the ring picked out... 😂😂
Installed 6.5" Clearview "recurve" windshield, man what a difference, cockpit is way quieter, and buffeting is almost completely elimanated.
When they say "clearview" they mean clear view.
While it's at the shop under my ESP.... I went to the Webster swap meet and got the correct engine/crash guard.... For 30 bucks...
When I get it back, I'll be able to take the Linby bar off, put this one on. Start looking for lowers to put on my RG... Attachment 537260
I rebuilt the shifter setup on the '14 with a new shaft and bushings, o-ringed the ends, added a wave spring and put a grease zerk in. I also did new HH brake pads all around and flushed the brakes and clutch. Removed the cowbell and added FOBO TPMS.
I like the addition of the zerk (grease fitting) it’s now on my list of things to do.
I had 2 recalls taken care of my local HD Service. And while there I asked for oil change, coolant flush, brake flush (New to me bike so WTH ) Hydraulic clutch was one of the recalls.
Service guy said "we'll just do the 5000 mile service" So I said OK. Turns out the 5000 mile service is an oil change with a few gaskets thrown in. So, I spent $502 on an oil change.
Lesson learned. He didn't listen to me but "wiped" the bike down for ya. GEE thanks!
A friend suggested I go to a mechanic he uses and that's what I'll do next time I need some work done. For now I'll just do the coolant and brakes myself

Ouch that hurts! What was the other recall besides the clutch? What year bike are you running?

I bet you won't be able to sit down for a few days after that. That is outrageous to have to pay that. The hydraulic brake fix should have been free.
