Update to bikes

Recommended Posts

Yesterday the weather alternated between rain and snow all day.  I decided to do soma odds and ends on the bikes.  Hadn't checked the air pressure on Eileen's trike tires and found the rears to be over inflated by 10 lbs and the front was 5 lbs low.  Then decided to check the air in the rear suspension.   I apparently I gave away my last Prorgressjive air pump when I sold the last bike so had to go find one.  Found a Harley dealership open about an hour away so drove over to get it.  When I was checking out, the lady asked if I needed anything else and knowing that they don't normally stock Vance and Hines mufflers, I said yea, I need a pair of Vance and Hines mufflers for a 22 Road Glide Limited. She said great, I have a brand new set still in the. box that I ordered for a customer who changed his mind and will make you a good deal on them.  I had planned to eventually buy a set of Vance and Hines Monster Rounds.  These were Vance and Hines Torquer 450's and after doing a bit of research on them  and her knocking $300.00 off the price, I decided to buy them.  

Got home and first checked her rear suspesion and found that it was set on. zero. pressure.  Got it adjusted properly. and about that time, Amazon delivered the KuryAkyn highway. pegs I had ordered for her so I. went. ahead and iinstalled them.  So now I'm done with her trike for now at least.  I've added a riders backrest, passenger backrest, KuryAkyn cup holder, phone mount with charger, Windshield pouch, and the highway pegs.  She is good to go.

So then I installed the new mufflers on my Road Glide.  in my opinion, they look and sound great.  At least sitting in the garage.  I actually like them better than the Monster Rounds.  I think the 4 1/2" gives it a considerably deeper sound the the 4" Monster Rounds.  It is a bit louder than stock but not obnoxious.  I'll know more after the weather gets better and I can get it on the   road.  

All in all, a fairly productive day.
