That gave me a chuckle. I used to work with a guy years ago who used that phrase to talk about his dates. And he really liked to talk about his dates. Every Monday morning, we'd hear stories about how he "banged the blue jesus" out of some girl over the weekend.

Ive only seen a couple of pictures and a LOT of people bashing it. I'm sure it's not the best design, and your pic proves otherwise for sure, but I tend to believe first hand accounts more so then hearsay....I'm sure oem and even high quality aftermarket springers have failed too, but you don't typically hear about those...just tryin to weed out the facts from the fiction.

motoiron design does look to be better for sure, thanks for that heads up guys!
