I would call Neal Ketner Motors in WinstonSalem NC , they are a small shop and they may be interested in buying it. The problem is the 15000 bucks worth of add ons is probably gonna be buyer specific.
Vivid Black is now a premium color and that hippopotamus puke gray is the base color. I've never seen a more dead soulless color in my life. There's a reason why it's covered when custom painting.
Wait. See dealer about winter specials. You may find a good deal just so they keep thire mechanics working. Also they will be less in a hurry compared to riding season.
The main problem I continue to have with the kit is riding on uneven pavement. Many of our city and area streets and roads are not flat and smooth, they have uneven bumpy pavement, whether asphalt or concrete, and when riding on them bike bounces and rocks side-to-side, which also jerks the handlebars, with the severity depending upon how uneven the pavement.
MTC suggested I lower the tire pressure from 20 lbs to 15 lbs. That didn’t seem to make any difference in how the bike handled. Then I tried changing the preload from the recommended ½ inch setting for my bike to ¾ in preload. None of those adjustments changed the dynamics of how the bike handles. One thing I've noticed in looking at pictures of other bikes (Harley, Goldwing, etc) it appears that the kit tires are in line with the bike's rear wheel. However, on my Yamaha, they do not...the kit tires line up about 4-6 inches behind the rear wheel. However, MTC told me that shouldn't make any difference in how it rides.
Almost thinking of going back to 2 wheels at this point.
I have same pack. You will need the weather cover. It is definitely not waterproof. After having soaked clothes, I went with:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GRHFFJR/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It has been through several Texas downpours and everything remained dry. Fit great on the back seat, lots of space.
in my Goldwings over the years I have always used 87 octane gas and a ounce of seafoam in every tank.
that includes GL1000's 1200's and 1500s. all have been used to pull a trailer.
I add Stabil to the last tank before winter storage.
they always smoke a bit in the spring on the first start up but otherwise they run fine.
occasionally I might run a tank of higher octane gas through, but it really doesn't make much difference in how the bike runs. guess I have been lucky.
but I am sold on Stabil and sea foam.
if you are in my contacts, I will answer. if not, off to voicemail. then If they leave a message I will call back if it seems legit ( most of them don't leave messages). I at one time used to answer them in my truck and play the 50 questions game with them ( answer their questions with a question ) but it got boring.
I used to do IT so I am suspicious of all messages and emails.
now I just set the do not disturb so contacts ring through and others don't.
I just checked the tires front and back only 2 days before, after I looked back to see when I put that tire on the bike and it was 8 yrs. ago. and 28,000 miles.
My CSC kit is made completely a fiberglass. I would call Will at CSC since these kits are actually made in their factory by them. I’m sure he can help you out?
Super happy to hear you are enjoying an improved ride quality!
Thank you for your business, and I hear you on the fork servicing....I don't even try it anymore without two sets of hands. :)

Well, as everyone can see from my profile pic I'm not shy about tossing grandkids on the tanks of my bikes. The little dude in the pic is one of my twin grandsons who was under 5 years old. He is now in college playing lacrosse, and 6'3" tall. Out of my 14 grandkids I have had probably half of them on one or more of my bikes.
However, when they are little guys and gals I will only ride around the block with them at about 15 mph. Once they are older and maybe 5' tall then grandpa will take them on a regular ride. Being a retired LEO I just don't have any trust in all the modern day distracted idiots out on the road.
Although I'm a Honda guy, I'd love to take that tour...
I live 15 minutes away from the Mustang Seat Company, in Three rivers Mass., and for years, I keep thinking about taking the tour.(everytime,) I ride past this seat make'n company, I say, dang! I got to make an appointment, BUT totally forget,

i agree with the tapering part. the reason i suggested sanding the edge is because it all depends on what you cut the airline with. if its airline cutters then there shouldn't be anything to sand off. even a razor blade would accomplish that. but i have seen guys grab side cuts to cut airline which creates a sharp edge on the end. and that would deffinatly damage the internal oring in that fitting. but yes i would not taper that end.
Well, last I looked the cam was offline. Probably no electricity. Our hotel is closed indefinitely so we cancelled our flights and car rental. No extended vacation this year. Thanks Milton.
I just did 3000 miles in 6 days and the first 3 I used a Airhawk, day 4 I decided to ditch the cushion. WOW. Just WOW. My ultimate tallboy seat did better by itself. I guess it just needed to be broken in..I had a Mustang Supertour on my 07 Electra Glide I could do all day rides with as well.
I know this is a old post but a buddy of mine had a wing and got caught in stop n go traffic on the interstate in the dead of summer and he said that sucker gets hot as well.
I've live'd in my present home now for "only 39 years"...... with a one car garage, and "NEVER" had a car in that garage, only a (different) motorcycle was inside, through out the years.. I'd love to move, and find a three car garage, to also put our cars in as well, BUT it's BEEN, "PAID FOR IN FULL" for over thirty years, and the last "thing" I need at my age (74 yrs) is another mortgage payment. :sleep::eek: But I can sit in my garage and service my TRIKE, with a (s)mile on my face... it's big enough for my tools, trike, and lawn mower,
