Wink

It also improves your gas mileage, clears unsightly blemishes, relieves the burning and itching of hemorrhoids, and emits pheromones to attract members of the opposite sex...

Sounds like it's right up there with a DVD rewinder.

well, I think it'd be easier to lean over and just stick it on instead of trying to line up with a normal one.

Wonder how many people are going to drop their bikes trying to lean over and stick the thing on.

Isn't there some unwritten Harley LAW against such a strange and obviously alien thing?

Also. I would think that if it got too close to your electrical system and would cause your bike to......well I don't know to do what but I'm sure it wouldn't be good.

OH sure it would be easier. But easy doesn't build character or balance. I think we all should just weld a flat piece of metal to the bottom of our jiffy stands and be done with it.
