Mine will just be 10”, which is just a couple of inches taller for comfort. I’m jazzed about the adjustabiliy. And that they are 1 1/2 diameter which should make wiring easy peasy.
What did you do to your Road Glide Today?
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
(Sunday was VERY windy, almost got blown over getting off the bike)
Next up, Progressive 940's are on the way.

Chalk another one up for the zippers axle adjusters. I was kind of hesitant because I liked the design of the Krause/MJK better where it tied into the lower shock bolt, but that wasn't an option. So went with the zippers and they fit up and secured just prime. Shouldn't have any trouble whatsoever next season.

Also did some polishing on the new exhaust, might not be rideable yet but damnit she's gonna look good sitting in the garage at least!

Fox Creek Leather grip covers arrived today, so got them installed. See they make lever covers too though didn't see available without fringe like these grip covers, they make grip covers with fringe too if looking for that. These feel great, installed laces down as my finger tips grabbing laces feels more natural. Time will tell how they hold up.

Ordered some lowers on Amazon from TCMT for $99.99. Seen some youtube videos and other posts about them so took a chance, figuring if they are poor quality will send them back. They are amazingly well done for the cost, unbelievable in truth. The doors to the compartments open and close well, I am pretty sure in a heavy downpour whatever is in there will get wet, least on the bottom but no experience yet, just my thoughts looking at them.
Least for the standard black it matches HD standard black very well, no clue if it has a clear coat or not, nor how it will hold up. I will likely paint the bike Candy Red in a few years so time will tell. Took it for a quick ride and they perform well, improved stereo output a bit as well, the Klockwerks 14" sport flare did more to improve hearing the stereo but these helped a bit more as well.
The lower straps required a good bit of reforming to make work. Other than the straps easy install, took maybe 30 minutes even working the straps to a new form.

Decided to head out and attempt to ceramic coat the bike today seeing how the humidity is down and it’s a nice day.
I had bought a bottle of Blackfire Pro Ceramic Paint Coating Black Edition back in June, never got to it due to humidity.
Pulled the bags and side covers, washed, clayey and then paint prep for the surface. Just finished up the back half, will start on tank, faring & frt fender tomorrow.

after 3 bikes with the swept wing floorboards, the wife wanted to go a different route. she selected the endgame series from hd. i gotta admit, compared to stock, they are built pretty nice. and i think they look pretty good as well.
have the shift peg on the other side, but the shift lever is still stock. the endgame one is on 20 week back order.
