Arrow a prayer for my SuperGlide

.
.
.
Couple years ago I picked up a set of 06 WideGlide bars and risers
from a forum member, brand new, taken off with zero miles.

Of coarse the 06s all eventually crack, and I've been watching mine closely for over two years.

They finally started showing signs of fracturing after about 8000 miles.
After 10,000, they got bad enough, time to replace.

Saturday mornings, there is always a risk of JW proselytisers showing up.
I took advantage and had these two ladies say a prayer for my SuperGlide,
and then a picture.

'06 WG bars were recalled for this very reason.
