This off-season's upgrades: Passing lamps (no pesky bar), flush gas cap and fuel gage, and new seat. Wasn't sure about the seat until I rode for a couple hours. HUGE difference, especially with the beach bars! I didn't have to keep a death grip without the windshield at 70+ mph

Two in the stable:
2022 H-D Pan America Special. Commuter bike, gets a little off-pavement. Bells and whistles galore and 150hp.

My motorcycle mentor. Mom turned 77 this year and when visiting during riding season, rides the Road King. When I added the Pan America, I warned her about the seat height and 150hp. She scoffed, "I can ride anything as long as I can get one foot down."

Well, it just hit 50° in my corner of Chicagoland. Time to take the Pan America to get chili ingredients.
