Changed out the OEM driving lights for halo makers yesterday. MUCH brighter. Like the handlebars, mechanical reverse, stage 2, backrest, another item that I wished I hadn't waited so long to do.
I had the opportunity to ride a full stock Tri Glide. I couldn't see anything and felt like I was crouched over. The bars that were on mine were not stock but still not comfortable and still couldn't see behind me.
I changed to the 2+2 wide sweepers and could see better but still couldn't see behind me without moving my head.
I added the extensions tonight and set them up and I can now see the world behind me and around me. It made a huge difference. For reference, I'm 6'2" and 250.

I rode to work and back today and got to really try out the mirror extensions. Once I adjusted them while riding, I could see everything so well. Including the truck that almost pulled out in front of me on my way home. Vibration is no more than it was with the stock mount configuration. This was an excellent upgrade.
Now to get the stuff in from Kevin and control the wind hitting me over and in front of the tank that is worse now with the new windshield.

We got a 90 mile breakfast run in, a little chilly in the morning but 72 when we got home.

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave in a well-preserved body, but to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting...Holy Sh!t What a ride!
Started changing out my bars for Khrome Werks 2t2 wide sweepers.

Took the body off to check everything out and do a deep cleaning. Did a three hole oil change with Red Line. Put it back together all sparkling and shiny. Hate the wheels as there is no way to make them look clean. Willie Shiny chrome wheels are on the list after an oil cooler and Mini Mites.

It hit 50º today, And riding in the snow and slush with all the salt and brine mixed in really crapes up the wheels...So using the hot water hose and dawn soap..Wash them then sprayed them with McKees foaming wheel cleaner..Let it sit for a while and once it turns red i hose it off..Looks decent but the'll never look like new..I don't know why i bothered cause i'm only going to ride in that slop tomorrow.....

Back when I was driving over the road I would stop at one of several truck stops around the country that had a polishing facility. There is one located in west Phoenix just off of I-10. I would pull into the truck stop straight from the truck wash and get the wheels and tanks polished. They used a brightener that would oxidize the aluminum and then use a high speed cloth polishing wheel and polishing compounds to make the wheels and tanks have a mirror finish. They would keep the shine for about 3 months. So that is my plan. Next trip to the big city get them polished and take it straight home and clear coat the wheels as a last ditch effort to make them look good.
