You are riding a legend enjoy it.Stressing out will not change a thing.You improvised with your Honda why can't you do the same with your Dyna.

Yuck, I figure that I do a little "reinvesting" every time I go down to the dealer. Whenever I go up to the register, I just think,"I'm paying myself in a weird, roundabout way." Oh ya, WE do appreciate your business. Thanx.

What I found annoying is when I bought the touring pillion seat for my bike. I had to take the mounting bracket off the old rear seat.What would it have cost them to put that on the new seat? 5 cents at most?

I just installed a pair of vented lower fairings for my Street Glide. Conclusion: Harley engineers suck.

You know what pisses me off? Cheap *** zinc plated screws and bolts on a $24,000 bike. But hey, you can buy the chrome bolt kit, right??????

I love the bike but they nickel and dime you to death with extras.
