I've seen these threads on other forums, and they can go on forever. Just some place to post what you might have done in any particular day.

I'll start with this past weekend. I went out Sunday morning intending to ride down the road, any road. When the first 40mph gust of wind hit me, I changed my mind and headed over to Iron Pony instead. It being early Sunday, and the service dept was open, I decided to get the new tires I was needing. So, a few dollars later I ended up with two new Dunlop American Elites and new pads on the front brakes. They were out of the Metzler ME880's, but these are new model Dunlops, and it appears they only make two sizes so far, both just happen to fit my bike. Web site says more sizes coming in 2011. Only have about 300 miles on them, but so far they seem to be good tires. Holds the wind well :D (Sunday was VERY windy, almost got blown over getting off the bike)

Next up, Progressive 940's are on the way.

Picked it up with the brand spanking new 48H cams, rode the 30 miles home on the freeway trying to beat the rain. With the moderately packed uphill downhill freeway I would have been in and out of 5th gear with the stock cams. This time I came all the way home in 6th. What a nice change.
Received my Arnott Bilstein Air Ride today and started installing it. Can't wait to get it all back together. With the parts off to Glyddn11 for powder coating, and new stuff on the way, its in about 1000 pieces. I also ordered a razor pack from PCPain. When I found out it may be 2 months or more before it showed up, I figured I should go ahead and get it on the way.
Just got my CFR pipes, putting them on in the morning. Started taking stock ones off, I can't wait.

Installed my CFR's. They look great and were an easy install. They sound AWESOME!!
Well not today, but yesterday I sent the heads and case out to be worked on: the heads will be cnc ported, and fitted with different valves and springs, the case will have the crank trued and welded and also doing the timken conversion.

ARGH!! It will be at least another week or two before I can order and install mine.

We need pics and sound clips :D
Great riding day here...hit Thunder Mountain and Mile High HD. Came SO close to getting my bud to swap his fat bob for RG. Gonna happen soon though...

I'd second that motion :)
I will add some pics tomorrow, I have never done sound clip. Might have to try that tomorrow as well.

Until I joined this forum I'd never done that either b4 ;):cool:
Took it in to get my tour pak, quick disconnect hardware, and internally mounted antenna installed...only to find it that the tp I waited two months for (cvo paint matching) had a nasty crack in it. Cudos to Sweetwater HD for noticing and refusing to mount it without my say so. Now I'll have to wait again :(

Pre fitted my bike for the Santo's wings I just got from Sancho. Looking forward also to put in the CVO slipons I'll be getting from Smitty, one of the members here in the forum. I'll post pics once its all done.
Changed the tranny oil and engine oil. Switched to Royal Purple just to try it out and it was on sale at AutoZone for $5.00 qt. so I bought 8 quarts.

Didn't know it was actually Purple. Interesting.

Took it for a ride afterward and the pipes actually sound deeper, and engine is quieter.

Oh I also took the liner out of my jacket. It was 70's here today.
