Same here. Too many people complaining about it not being "realistic". Duh...it's a TV show.

Yeah. That's kinda where I get confused. My girlfriend and her sister used to be fanatic about that show. ( They'd record it and watch it during the day... and if you ever saw an episode during daytime, you'd see it was just a "gritty" soap opera. ) Why are people so obsessed about hating whatever from a TV show? They're actors. With props and cameras and stuff Lol I loved my HD quarter fairing.

Anyway, I'd never have any of that "Live to ride, ride to live" stuff. It was so corny even when it first came out.

Stickers. Makes the bike look like a pile of ****. Some people with dynas like to plaster all sorts of dumb *** stickers on their bikes and I don't get it.

Last big order from J&P Cycles for parts to rebuild a wrecked HD soft-tail springer we ended up getting about 20 SHEETS of their stickers in all shapes and sizes, next order I should have enough to do an entire set of tins in J&P stickers alone.

Curious to see where you take your bike. That's quite a list...

I keep removing and selling stuff that came on it when I bought it, I have enough now to do a 96 to 103 on just selling off non-functional bolt-ons the previous "custom" guy had the dealership put on.

The idea is to take all the crap the previous owner spent money on that doesn't do anything and spend it on 103 (or larger), a dyno tune, a set of tires and gasoline, maybe some steaks and beer.

I saw a Dyna this weekend with a Mug-Buoy, like from a boat.

No Mug-Buoy for me. I can just imagine a can of <anything> at idle on my bike in that bastard.

If you were to weld two flats and a support to the frame of our bikes they'd make an excellent paint-shaker at idle. I've seen cup-holders and diy cup-holders on dynas before and it's like... can you not wait to get to your next gas station? If you got coffee throw it in a thermos in a roll.

When I see people bolting garbage like that to a dyna it reminds me of a meme'd Hank Hill quote.

"You're not making motorcycles better you're making cars worse."

If your bike could still use improvements in moving faster forward and/or turning/handling you have no business gluing some sparkly bullshit to it.
