After a lot of consideration with aftermarket upgrade suspension, I decided to go with Wilber’s automatic adjusting shocks and their fork springs. I’ve used Progressive on a few of my bikes and was very happy with there performance. Note, I used progressive on my Heritages. Now, I ride a 21 Ultra Limited and go on many cross country trips. The Wilber’s suspension fits my needs without having to ever adjust the rear shocks once you adjust them at install. Tomorrow is install day, can’t wait to try Wilber’s suspension out.
Finished Detailing it, and took my first ride since getting the full Stage 1 installed that it didn't backfire out the pipes when I let off the throttle. (Bad petcock diaphragm). Just a short ride to the ethanol free station, as it was trying to spit rain and was only 39F. Come on spring!
I changed my Slip on mufflers from V&H OS Titan 450s to the V&H Twin Slash Round last night. I liked the Titans but the looks of the Twin Slash got me. Gonna go ride today to break em in right. Can't wait to hear how they sound pulling a mountain grade.
Did some odds and ends today.. Put my seat lock on, added some bar & shield stickers to the saddle bags and added the six speed emblem to the side cover... I'm waiting on my Star compensator ramp, its supposed to be here Tuesday. After that its time to ride!

PAID HER OFF!!!! I’ve ordered a Saddlemen road sofa with backrest and matching tour pack pad, ordered Rush racing M8 true duals, Big Louie slip ons with turn down end caps, put fairing lowers on her with pods for 6.5 speakers, scheduled her for an audio system upgrade to 6 speaker Cicada @ 1800 watts plus with dual DSP amplifiers. Going to try the road sofa for a bit before I decide if I want to change out shocks to Ohlins (did make the decision if I change that Ohlins is my choice).
Now to decide on a tuner? Decisions, decisions…..and retirement is where it’s at!
Been a minute since I’ve been on, decided on going with progressive 13 1/2” shocks just before winter and we love the ride. Road sofa is broke in well now. Put in the order today to go with the stage IV 114 to 131 kit and a Woods 77X cam with a dyno tune using my DynoJet Powervision. Have to wait on the service side to open tomorrow to get scheduled but hopefully in the next 2 weeks. Rode 260 miles for a chicken sandwich and a quesadilla for my lady. Getting ready for warmer weather.
I brought the air in both tires up so I'm ready to go. I needed to get my MC inspected by the end of last month so I could get it licensed. Oh well, I'll only be a month late if I get it done tomorrow :
