It’s supposed to smell just like watermelon and I’m in the springtime mood.

How much of the headliner did you have to pull down to do the swap?

How much of the headliner did you have to pull down to do the swap?

Just the visor and a-pillar trim, then stuck my round led stick flashlight in to hold the headliner down enough to get to the 10mm nut. Probably should have pulled the overhead console just to be safe but it worked.

Hmm... it seems to me that a trans brake, and a 2-step are in order Mark..!

I mean, if I know somebody’s gonna race me off the line it’s not a problem. Remember I did beat a Subaru STi once but broke my trans although I later found out that was because the servos hadn’t been releasing. It’s when I don’t know and they jump me and I have to play catch up.

Thanks. I built several Harleys a few years ago. My favorite was my ‘16 Street Glide with full air, badass stereo and 26” front wheel. The bags were stretched 16” so it kind of looked like a Batman bike. Some ******* pulled out in front of me and it ***** him at 40. Broke both shoulders and totaled the bike. I haven’t really ridden since then. I sold my other 2 V-Rods and kept this one but I’m gonna sell it.

I remember the bagger but for some reason, I can't recall that one. Beautiful bikes

The blue one was a chick magnet lol. They always wanted to get their pictures taken on it. And here’s the carbon fiber one I built. Ghost flames over cf. And yes it had a lot of chrome, I couldn’t delete it so I sold it lol.

Hell yea. The flames on the CF look great. Nice shadowing
