Getting your bike ready

[schmalts]

Picked up this 2011 FLHXSE2 (Street Glide CVO) just before the back doc got ahold of me (about 5 weeks ago). Waiting for a thumbs up from him to plan a memorial day New Mexico ride. The weather has been gorgeous here...

You going to run through Red River and Eagles nest? If you get to Chama, the train ride is well worth the time

Chama is a very nice ride Pat, in fact, the backbone from Taos thru the Sangre de Christi Mts to Chama is one of the best in the area. Haven't done the narrow guage but have done the Silverton to Durango. Memorial Day is a big rally at Red River...no place to stay but fun to see. Taos will be more accommodating for overnight. The Vietnam Memorial near Angel Fire is always on the itenerary also.

Looks like chrome is your favorite color. Sharp bike.

There's more chrome on my bike than my 3 cars put together....

I'll have to get a pic of the other side so I can show off that big chrome muffler.

I need to get rid of that bever tail on my seat. Talking with my upholsterer about cutting it off and building a new seat.

...check out C&C before you chop your's Dave. They make a solo that's reasonable....you can get one with backrest.

Here's the buddies I ride with most. L-R, Ducati Monster, Yami Strat, HD V-Rod Muscle.

Thanks , I'll check it out. The seat needs cushion for my boney butt for a couple long rides planed..

Show your scoot? Nice! Here's a pic of Tinker. 86 FLHT, (electra glide). Took off Tour Pak, done some motor mods. Got an extra seat I'm gonna cut down and make a solo seat since the wife has her own scoot now. Gotta finish paint and put a starter in her to get her up for the year. May as well throw a pic of the wifes scoot also.

webe, one of the idems I'll be looking for is a tour pac for the long ride out west. Of course I'll need to get it painted.

Here's pic with the C&C solo. Pretty comfy Dave but definitely no pillow.

I like that seat but the question is will my backside like it after 6 hrs on the road. May need a memory foam cushion.
Thanks

Had a service appointment today. Despite the rain, I rode 30 miles to the deal and a few more back home after work.

New front tire, 8k service done! I'm ready for warm weather and it looks promising next week!
