Man, I can appreciate your dedication. 39-40º.

I rode mine to the gas station last weekend and it was about 40°. Wasn't too horrible with a couple proper layers. Granted, I only went a few miles each way and the Glide obviously blocks wind better than a sport bike. I used to ride all the time as long as it was at least 50°.

I just can't do it anymore, I'd like to, I just can't. The brain surgery made it worse. If the back bottom right of my skull (behind the ear and down to the neck) gets too cold it screws up my equilibrium.

 

[SleeperLS]

very nice man. That bike is looking absolutely fresh. It is bonkers how fast these are.

 

[greasy]

Sick fucking bike Brett, congrats!!!!!

 

[DEEZUZ]

Awesome duder good for you

Thanks guys, this is something I’ve wanted for a while, kept going back and fourth on it and finally decided I worked enough overtime this year to treat myself lol, this display is a big part of why I wanted a 2020 or newer model, I’ll try to make a video with the suspension adjustments on the screen it’s pretty crazy

 

[The Beast]

I tip my hat off to you most guys with a wife and kids are usually riding cruisers by now. Good for you enjoy

Oh that IS slick.

so I ordered a new slip on for it, the one on there is just huge and I prefer something a lot smaller, I thought about cutting down the can that’s on it, but it has a transition in the shape of it about halfway down, and I don’t believe I’ll be able to get the end cap back on, it does sound pretty decent now but I prefer the straight up rowdyness of a small can and I like the look a lot better

Drill out the rivets, remove about half of the baffle material, then put the cap back on with new rivets. My friend did that with some dual Yoshi's on his TL-1000S. Sounded incredible. Not too loud, not raspy, just right.

If it were just about the sound I’d do that but I hate the look of the big mufflers, I was going to remove the cap and chop the can shorter but the way it’s made it has a weird shape that starts about halfway down and I don’t believe I’ll get the cap to fit right after cutting it

Can you just buy the rear section which Akrapovik had in either full length, or shorty?

Yes, they are all around 1000 for the rear section though and I’m trying to be cheap

Maybe search the boards, I know some people complain the shorty is too loud, maybe they’d be interested in a swap.

Yeah, even slip-ons have gotten ridiculously expensive. I was pricing out options in case I got a Monster. Termignoni, Arrow, Akrapovic, just the slip ons are around $1000. I used to be able to get a full system for like $550.

The 3-4k for the akrapovic titanium system depending on slip on it’s crazy

 

[1quick]

lucky this already has the header because I’d just be cutting the cat off and having someone weld me up a mid pipe

 

[1quick]

I rode it to the gym lol insulated pants over gym pants, it’s not too cold, but damn this thing is smooth the auto blip is like butter compared to my single r, and having down auto blip is bad ass

 

[1quick]

This thing is a fucking unit, it’s so smooth and much warmer to ride than the single r

 

[Aron]

I rode one a couple years ago when they did BMW demo rides at Windy City/Fox River HD. It was cool but Im too old for supersports now. I'd take a naked over a supersport every time, but it would have been badass to ride a decade ago.
