Went for a lunch ride today. Then spent 3 hours cleaning all the FREAKIN love bugs off the bike. Why do they even exist? Just to torment riders I guess.

Ordered a 15" light tint windshield from Freedom Shields for my '19 FW.
They had been out of stock of light and medium tint due to Covid. All their suppliers were making only clear acrylic for store / school use as partitions. I emailed them on a different subject yesterday, they got back to me last night and mentioned they expect delivery by the end of the week and those 2 tint options are now available again when ordering online.
5k service slowly coming up, I'm at 4,700 miles. I can do it myself but normally when my stuff is under warranty I take 'em to the dealer.
Nice. I have been doing my own routine service so far. I did have my local dealer install a cool flow fan, mainly because it needed the computer updated to display properly.
Please let us know how you like the shield after you get a chance to test it, and we will of course need pics.
I have a 70 mile ride planned for Sunday. We have had some beautiful wether her lately, but have some storms moving in Sunday night into Monday.
I had to run a brief errand today & passed 5 riders and they were all without helmets, taking advantage of our revised helmet laws.
Which engine guard did you get? Did you also have to replace the dampener bracket?
5k service due in about 150 miles on my FW. I was gonna let the dealer do it but decided to do it myself. I ordered everything from New Castle HD around 9 this morning. At 10:45 they emailed that it all has been shipped Fed Ex estimated delivery Saturday. That's what I call service.
I put HD's Heavy Synthetic in the transmission at the 1k, also put it in my Low Rider when I had it. No complaints, it really smoothed shifts and made neutral much easier to find. But, the stuff is clear and hard as he!! to see on the dipstick. So, I'm going back to my ole reliable Belray 85/140 that I'd been using for 20 years. It's red and much easier to see. Had to get it off Amazon.
The satisfaction of a job done by yourself plus the money saved to spend elsewhere.
Yep, you've got that right. I usually do 'em myself once out of warranty but this time I said heck with it. It'll save me 3 hours hanging around the dealership with my thumb up my backside waiting or my wife having to pick me up / drop me off if I were to leave it. Plus, as you said, with the money saved I can get a luggage rack and the Custom Dynamics LED to install on it.
B'sides, I'll know *everything* was done right to include proper torques.
I went with Custom Dynamics LED inserts with my front turn signals and love them and have gotten numerous positive comments. I did change to clear front lens covers for maximum visibility.
While your ordering, I highly recommend their brake light modulator that gives you like 10 different options for brake light patterns and that greatly increases visibility while stopping. I have tried them all, but went with a pattern that pulses 7 times when the brakes are applied, goes solid for about 3 seconds, then repeats. I have had many positive comments on it also, with followers saying it really grabs your attention. The brake modulator is plug & play on the Freewheelers and only takes a few minutes.
Let us know when your done with your mods and how you like them.
