mine is so fast after that I am afraid to to remove the HTSA sticker off the frame tube.....

Just funning with you, but seriously the plate is a visual drag and Hog Rida lay down mount is probably one of the best mods I made to my bike....

Congrats on the new ride... Enjoy it!!!

Hey.. Hey... Cut him some slack.... It isn't a blacked out bob... It's a SUPERGLIDE Chrome( I mean Custom....) It needs some wash, shine, and polish.... That is like a pilots doing preflight walk around on his jet to ensure it ready to take to the skies....

BTW- I am digging it!!! Ride on!!!

I think some may have happened on to the problem. With that bucket in the picture I am thinking maybe the bike is retaining water. Your ride is kind of like a woman that retains water, they move a little slower and become much more cranky. Not sure, but this maybe the root cause of the problem.

I always thought it was fun to watch pilots do a walk around at -40 degrees.

You have large feet? Since you're running forward controls, possibly your feet are acting like flaps on an airplane and slowing you down. Point your toes or go to mids.
