Planned and wish list for winter work and mods
For many of us a break in riding season is about here. This is a time of year to get work that needs to be done out of the way do some wanted Mods with out cutting into riding time. It also helps get through this down time.
What are your must do repairs and or updates and why? What are your planned mods and wish list if cash and time allow, also why? 07 Road Glide (The FB gets no work this year) Mine are: Must do 1. New back tire reason wore out Wants: 1. Finish paint mods on rear of front fender and paint interfaring. 2. New floating rotors and front barke pads. Reason 40,000+ on bike now Rotated rotors at 20,000, they are still fine but I want a different look and this would be a good time to get it done. Pulling front tire anyway to remove fender for painting. 3. Make up my mind on pipes I want on it. And replace clamps with SS ones while doing the work. Bolts on stock clamps look bad IMO. What I expect to see from this thread is just what you see above most work on the HD is want not needs. Lets see how the rest of you do.

Re: Planned and wish list for winter work and mods
Not a whole lot of needs as I still have less than 10,000 miles but a few wants.
1. Remove twin rail bag guards and put in the solid filler strips and the bullet turn signal bar in the rear. 2. Replace the original spot light and turn signal bracket in the front and mount the lights on the custom aux. light bracket (like the CVO EG) with bullet turn signals in the front 3. Replace the front and rear fender bumpers with something (not sure yet) 4. Stage 1 with Reinharts and a TFI Time shouldn't be a problem but cash and the better half may be obstacles to overcome

When explaining to you guys, mainly all looks. When explaining it to the better half, all function

Re: Planned and wish list for winter work and mods
Maybe I'll get around to changing my grips. My front end is pretty much chromed with the upper and lower fork covers, Nacelle, Chromed switch housings and chrome front master cylinder. the stock rubber grips just make the front end look incomplete. I'd like to maybe get some Heritage bags if I can find some at a good price and maybe some Heritage bars; but I'm not sure the wallet will let me do it this year.
