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.

It'd actually look pretty cool with a full paint job on an old Evinrude Snowmobile!

Are yours like these? because I bought them both.
The labels on both say Torque Monsters, and I think both say DBKillers, with same dyno curve advertised. The louvered are a little louder, but not like Rineharts, for instance.
They also sell “Quiet Baffles” that are constructed almost identical to the baffles in the stock slipons.
@VrodGuy This is the only place I could find them. Fast shipping. Spazcycle

Yesterday evening installed LA Choppers 12" hammerhead bars. As many who have installed these have mentioned, the hardest part is running the throttle side. I first tried some waxed thread I had a spool of, tying a nut to one end and using gravity to guide it through the bar. Clutch side cable ran through it well, took some back and forth but not terrible. Throttle side took me 4 tries, waxed thread broke try 1, changed to 12lb fishing line it broke try 2, doubled fish line and broke try 3. Try 1 through 3 I believe they broke from rubbing at the horn weld location. Try 4 I used 14 gauge wire on to the controls and second to the throttle by wire loom. Took a good bit push and pull, some very short back and forth and eventually they made it through.
I disconnected the battery before removing the stock bars and installing new as a safety measure. Got them installed and tested ever switch and fired it up no issues but the check engine light. Called it a night, had some beer watching a movie with my wife.
This morning I pulled the code and learned it was P1608h, loss of continuous battery connection. Cleared the code, guess each time one disconnects the battery will have to clear that code. Easily done on bike itself which is nice, hold odometer button down before and while turning ignition switch to on. Click odometer button through menu and hold it to select, when reading the code hold odometer button down and it will clear.
So this morning finished the trouble code. Glued the stock grip to the new bars and laced the leather grip cover back on completing the install.
Supposed to be beautiful day, looking forward to the first ride with these bars as the stock bars were the first thing I wished to change.
