Well,there aint no way i cant make my 80 1000L into a touring bike for the missus and me, so I am going to eventually buy an old goldwing for that purpose and of course keep the gs for everyday riding.questions:
1.My rear shocks are shot.I cant seem to find them on the progressive site.I was hoping since i am going back to my original power cruiser theme to find some a little shorter to lower it a bit.
2.I have had my bike exactly 2 years and because of many mechanical problems until i finally fixed them not too long ago it has probably had about 1500 miles put on it.How often do you clean or oil those pod filters.Mine are unis I think.
3.My rubber footpegs are really beat up, ground up, and ugly.Have any of you put on any kind of aftermarket pegs?

Here are my plans:
Paint it dupont meltdown red.
maltese cross signals since it is also a silent Christian witness.I am a CMA member.
MAC 4 into 2 turnouts or 4 into 1,i cant decide.
I already have a custom made cross sissybar.
lower the front down by loosening the front fork pinch clamps,i think this goes down about 3/4 inch.
go to purple harley.com and get some of their pinstripes for the front fender and tank.

What do ya'll think?
 
I think every bike has its limits and advantages although Wheelie may have proved that axium wrong. Go for it. you can always change your mind.

Exhausts are always a good investment and i haven't shopped for shocks but how much in the hole can they set you back. A better ride is a better ride. Besides what else were you going to do over the winter.

we dont have winter here.but i agree with you.thanks for input.winter lasts about a month.usually have 1/2 inch of snow,2 days with ice on roads,thats about it.
 
We got 18" of snow here a few years back, freaked everyone out. First time I'd seen "real" snow since Jacksonville. There were a lot of accidents because no one knew what to expect.

I miss riding in McAllen. Summer and late fall were the only two seasons there. It might freeze one or two days max.

I think the MAC turnouts look better. And I make it a point to clean my filter, pods or otherwise, about every three months or 5,000 miles. A bike that can breathe is a happy bike.
