Rode it. A lot. Pics randomly load here so I'm not going to try.
2250 miles in the last 9 days. 850 was just going on long rides here at home. Tuesday I packed up and left for Deals Gap. My friends were there. 595 here to there. Then all our riding Tail of the dragon, Cades Cove, Cherohala Skyway, up to Virginia to the Back of the Dragon. That was a 32 mile twisty ass road. Trike handled awesome. Really enjoying this trike. At 5800 miles. Just over 2 months. Need a service again. I'll do that next week.
Went about 50 miles with my oldest son on his very customized 2016 Road Glide Special. I do not think this beast has 1 OEM part on it. My FW ran great & we are having a beautiful 80, sunny day here in STL.
Here is a pic...

Michael, your son's motorcycle is beautiful.

His RG battery is working, but struggling to turn that beast over & I suggested to him to order theYuasaGYZ32HL. It is very well constructed with 32ah, 500 CCA & I have found it for $128 with free shipping. These are also USA made. They have them atChaparral Motorsports
That will give me a chance to hone my battery changing skills before I need to do mine.
I tested his battery & it was charging fine, but dropped below 10VDC when trying to start, so it's time for a new one.

Very, Very nice RG. A bike like that could trick me into going back to 2 wheels!

Okay, it was Saturday, not today... but I finally got around to doing the rear fenders with Plastidip. Pretty damn happy with the results. Going to let them cure for a couple days, then touch up a couple rough edges, rub off a bit of overspray, etc....

Plastidip. That's the product. Bought it in a rattlecan at Ace Hardware. Yup, tape it off and spray it on. About the only advice (outside of normal rattlecan practice like several light coats, not one heavy coat) is to pull the tape when the last coat is still wet. Otherwise you might not get a clean separation. Search on plastidip here and you'll find several threads. Search on the 'net and you'll find *many* threads!

That looks AWESOME Red!
Hope you are planning on coming up to Kerrville again this year to show it off!

I finally got around to polishing my FW. I used the HD can of polish, which works on all surfaces.
After over 2 years, the can is almost empty.
It's about time to break out the Original Bike Spirits Spray Cleaner and Polish.
I have been looking forward to trying it. It gets great reviews.
