Well, I'm confused, but I trust you got the right wheel. To be honest, I'd have done exactly what you did in the same situation. No way I'd let my bike be down that long with the possibility of it being extended.

These riser bushings look terrible for being less than 4 years old, so they’re on the list now. So much easier to do them now that it’s all opened up anyway. Starting to look like I’m making real progress.

I just went with the solid aluminum bushings, no worries of them deteriorating with time. Not as bad as most say as I don't notice the vibes with my arthritic hands.

Got the replacement yesterday, swapped rotors, quick 30 min install and we're back on the road.

I meant compared to the double-Rooadgide set up. I butchered my post (as usual)

Gonna be completely honest here. The dual LP6 setup is overkill unless you're trying to land a 747 in a snow storm. One light puts out more then enough light. If I had to choose only one color, I'd do yellow. I like the look of the dual colors though. It stands out.

I got my wife the halo adaptive headlight for her Indian Scout Bobber. The other day I found the LP6 brackets to mount in her bike. Now I'm thinking I wasted money on the adaptive headlight. But, that little 5 3/4" light was more effective than my stock dual light setup on the RG.

Added two 20” Heat sinks under saddle bag.
Took 48oz of oil to purge.
Just need to test ride now.

Anyone use testors enamel paint? I finally went to use it to black out a small bracket and bolt head, I think for saddlebag mount?, and it is very thin when applied. Like see through.

do i just apply multiple coats?

I have a long time ago. Kinda sounds like it wasn't shaken completely. If has been sitting a long time, at the store, it really settles to the bottom.
