VROD steering head adjustment nut

by Editor on 06/05/23

New bearing races, new bearings, new seals and brand new lower triple tree installed. The adjusting nut was where I stopped for clarification on how tight it should be because there was no torque spec for it in the service manual. Since this picture was taken a mechanic reached out to me on social media and said finger tight then a half turn with a brass punch. Then final adjustment during fall away test and setting.

2005 VRSCSE CVO VROD BLUE colour matching chin spoiler

by Editor on 06/01/23

What's your best guess?
I wonder how many 2005 VRSCSE CVO VROD BLUE colour matching chin spoilers were made? 
There were only 446 bikes made in that colour and these were not a stock item, but could be ordered from HD parts.
Whatever the number is I'm super stoked to have one.

VROD chrome rad bezels

by Editor on 05/31/23

These genuine Harley-Davidson OEM chrome bezels were approximately triple the cost of the eBay knockoffs but worth every penny! I was super happy to have found a brand new set available at a local Harley-Davidson dealership, they did have to order it from the warehouse, but that was fast.
The fit is absolutely perfect.

WARNING for people travelling on Green Mountain Road

by Editor on 05/16/23

There is a cattle guard on Green Mountain Road in British Columbia's South Okanagan that has suffered significant damage and could easily shred a car, truck or worse yet a motorcycle tire. 

I first noticed this last season and it has yet to be fixed, so until it is be extremely careful...
