Setting My Eyes West continues with Episode 2! The countdown to Twisted in Texas is getting closer, and Stella — my 2023 Harley-Davidson Street Glide — is getting some important maintenance and upgrades before the 2,500-mile round-trip ride to the Texas Hill Country.

In this episode, I’m focusing on the rear of the Street Glide and making sure everything is ready for the miles ahead.

I replace the rear brake rotor and brake pads, check the moisture level in the rear brake fluid reservoir, and install a new set of Progressive Suspension 412 rear shocks.

The Progressive 412s are a big part of getting Stella set up for the long haul. With plenty of highway miles ahead and some great riding waiting for us in Texas, I want the suspension and braking system ready before pointing the bike west.
