No pics to share but I fixed an oil leak at the rear cly exhaust pushrod tube from when I installed the Screamin Eagle torque cam kit. The upper o-ring was compromised during the adjustable pushrod installation. I also removed the Mueller hydraulic clutch actuator and reinstalled the stock HD unit. I'm selling the Mueller soon in the parts for sale section of this forum some time this week. I could never get used to the soft feel of the Mueller and switching between my cable clutch on the 04 RKC and the hyd clutch of the 2020 RKS was not working for me with the Muller installed. I'm used to more resistance at the clutch lever and I prefer the stock actuator.
Passing this advise to you that I got from someone else here. Put some Velcro sticky thing (the fuzzy part) on those rivers that go on top of the tank. It will prevent potential scratches from happening.
Give it some time for the seat to break in. LePera is naturally on a harder side but once your butt cheeks condition, it is awesome. Plus it looks great!
Thank you VERY much for the kind words and for sharing the Velcro advice! I hadn't even seen or thought of a possible rivet/fuel tank scratching problem and I'll take a closer look at the contact points to be sure, but I can imagine that the rivets located nearest my thumb in the picture will prove to be some of the likely culprits.
Thank you also for suggesting that I allow some time for the seat to break in. The size and shape fit me well and thanks to you, I now know that I can expect some time to pass before I truly become one with it.
I'm with you on liking the looks of the seat, and glad that you took the time to write!
A first:
Took my 2 girls (one at a time) on the Street Glide first time last night. Gave them a good 75 mph experience.
1/2 Helmet with goggles. Lots of noise and wind.
The 13 year old tried to use my shoulders as handlebars. Otherwise rode very well. She is bigger than me.
The 10 year old rode like she was born riding. She rides her bicycle like Evel Knievel. She wants my Street Bob real bad.
The real issue was Mommy allowing it to happen. We got passed that.
The 7 and 9 year old boys are fit to be tied. I wanna go!! What about meeeeeee??
Wait till they find out I have a mini-bike hidden in the garage, waiting for the 9 year old boy to actually ride his bicycle.
Now I need some hot pink 3/4 helmets that aren't too big for the girls. Off to Iron Pony we go. "Try this on. Is it tight?"
Received my Corbin Classic Solo yesterday, installed it this morning and took it for a spin. I've had Corbin saddles on all my other bikes, and never even thought of butt discomfort as a thing, ever. So got one for this bike as well, and it's really really nice. A comfy bucket seat feel, sort of. Not hard, not soft, just... disappears, and I once again forget discomfort is a thing. The stock is just way too mushy for me, even just around town - feels like I'm sitting on a pillow.
Made this my sig pic, too.
looks great, I’m looking to go with a solo on my road king and the Corbin looks awesome , we’ll done
Heading out for a week on the road Saturday. Did the 20k maintenance minus the oils. Changed all 3 holes at 15k and the engine around 17.5k. Currently have 19k so I figure I’ll do all 3 holes when I get back (~21k). Realized I could use rear brake pads (safe for the trip) also so I’ll replace front and rear pads when I get back also.
I was about to ask why you have a yellow rose on your intake until I zoomed in. 😃
Yea no rose but I do have a 3 year old. Imagine my horror when I came out to the garage and the rag was removed and no where to be found. Also the 5/8 socket was missing. Fortunately he had just moved them.
