Winter is almost here and the riding season has all but ended.:crying: What modifications have you planned to carry out on your Roadglide this winter? I have planned on adding V&H pro dual headers , a stage 1 breather and possibly heated grips. I'll also spend some time detailing my ride and maybe dig out the owners manual to go over it again.
Just put the Arc MOTO 600.4 amp and four Arc Moto 602 in my 2016 RGS, "Nice very nice". People give me the, that is Awesome look or turn that down look, either way nice very nice..
Not much. I am happy with the way the M8 runs. I do want to finish smoking the lights and that is left is the tour pak. The RGU is safe in the bike room now we got 4 inches of snow . Will put the FB in this week once I pull the side car. No work on FB this winter.
Bike room needs some serious cleaning up.

- Arlen Ness Modular Bars Chrome (wife's xmas present to me)
- Custom Dynamics Led tail light and turn signals (wife's xmas present to me)
- Willie G Cam Cover (on the xmas list so I'm hoping someone will splurge the $30)
That will be it for me this year... I swear this is it... no I really do
Posted elsewhere, but since you ask,
14" Chrome zBar apes, wire exts. and braided cables
Six Shooter Chrome grips
Chrome switchcovers and hopefully controls
Chicom Daymaker

Hoping to pick up a tour pak.
Black Daymakers - Done
11" LRS Mako : Medium Tint - Done
Factory 47 12" Black Malo's - Purchased
Super Shox - Done
Legend Axeo Front Tubes - Done
Black forks - Done
More to come.
Mirrors, handlebars and risers, Corbin seat, full exhaust, intake, power commander and dyno tune, then again this is all going on my new 2017 Honda Grom
I'd like to add speaker lids, and try wrinkle blacking as much chrome as possible. Half the bike was already wrinkle black, so might as well finish the rest instead of starting over.
Whatever strikes my fancy I guess. The reason I say that is I don't plan on doing much to the bike b/c I've spent enough money over the years buying stuff for the HD I owned at the time yet I've managed to drop about $1,110 in stuff on the bike as it is so...
Mean City Cycles seat overhaul driver & passenger area to improve comfort.
Already installed 13" Mako medium tint Long Ride Shield.
Would love to put on a Native Custom Bagger 180 front tire kit but that will have to wait.
Here is my list of winter mods(hope i get to all of them before Spring):
- Ebay Daymakers
- Ceramic Black Coated Dragula2 Exhaust
- Freshen up the motor including and add Comp. Releases, bump compression, Dyno Tune from Dragos
- New Black Iso Grips
- New Black Crash Bar
- New Outer Fairing
- New Saddlebags and Lids
- New Front Fender
- New Tank
- New Sidecovers
- New Rear Fender
- New custom Paint Job on New Old Take offs (modifying factory Paint Job)
Mods Completed so far:
New Front Brake and Clutch Levers, Drilled through Dragos heatshields and Ceramic coated black. New Parts dropped off at painters
Down in Florida we don't really have a "winter" season but, there are a few weeks where its just not fun to ride in 40-50 degree weather. With that said, I plan on tearing into the engine and doing 107 kit, my cams again and change all of the engine covers (cam cover, rocker boxes, push-rod tubes, etc.) to gloss black. Might install the BDL compensator too. Just did one on my Pops bike and it goes into first gear like butter and no more start clunk.
In south Florida so winter is relative. Lowered front with progressive and chrome lowers, rear skully air ride, got that ulgy antenna rerouted and new seat. That's it for now but thinking bars next.
I loved my cvo solo seat when I had it. Bang for the buck, you can't go wrong.
