Rode to the HD dealer with some Sea Foam in the oil tank
Changed the oil using the Longer M8 oil filter
The Sea Foam really does a good job of cleaning out the oil tank and oil galleries

Last night I installed H-D Chrome and Rubber rider footboard covers and brake pedal pad. Waiting for the passenger footboards to arrive along with shift pegs.

Been away for a while, but to catch up: Mighty Mites fans kick ass and definitely lower engine temps (to the point where even the ol' lady on the back mentioned that she could feel the difference on her legs), and DAMN but I'm VERY highly impressed with Freedom windshields! Wife asked why I was riding so slow on our country back roads... she thought I was doing about 40 when I was doing 60. Then I got back on I-35, and was doing over 85 hitting it on an onramp and didn't even realize it, thought I was passing 65 on the way to 70 when I glanced down at the speedo. *Extremely* impressed with the product and the customer service. Sucker is about three times thicker than the stock windshield and absolutely kicks booty. Flipped the visor open at 75+ to push my glasses up and got absolutely zero wind blast, before it would damn near blast my glasses off. HIGHLY recommend both the Mighty Mites and the Freedom windshield.

Finally got around to installing the Avon grips I got a couple weeks ago. Hey, I'm retired, it goes with the territory. Thought I'd post a pic of just one side.
Back in the day the switch housings, caps and clamps would be all chrome. But, with age I got lazy. I'll just consider the stock black stuff my contribution to the "blacked out" craze made popular by SOA.

Lol I'm in central Texas. I pulled the windshield the other day just for old times sake... at 55mph I was reminded of the utility of a windshield, and when I got up to the local speed limit, 75 mph, I was reminded how much fun it *isn't* to get beat to death by wind blast!

Best gauge for a windshield is a carpenter's level. Settle into your normal riding position and hold the level up to the end of your nose. Get it level and see where it hits your windshield. That's the height you want. Lets you see over the top without being too low to divert wind/bugs/rain.

Hey all... nothing Freewheeler wise as I have not ridden in weeks & really miss it
I got home late Friday afternoon after 8 days in the VA hospital. I went for a appointment with my PCP Thursday morning and ended up staying 8 days.
No tablet or phone charger. I have to start packing a go bag to bring with me.
I really miss reading your posts and contributing.
They found a blood clot in my heart, so I'm back on blood thinners. I didn't seem to be able to catch a break.
OK, I'm done wining for now.

Michael, I am so sorry that you are having additional medical issues. You are in my prayers.
