I should clarify. I’ve never done it on a street bike.
I’ve pushed my dirt bikes home more times than I will admit.

Put the gas cap in the gas nozzle holder. Can't put the nozzle back with the cap there. You must hold it while you replace the nozzle. Put it on the tank, and pay for the gas.

A little piece of vacuum tubing behind the squirrely, square battery terminal nuts will keep them from escaping.

On the rear I made a custom dual caliper brake setup running twin PM 4 piston calipers mounted on a custom bracket I designed. It's an eye catcher but the way it mounts the stabilizing arm tucks in along the swingarm. Just in front off the shock on that side is a little stainless retainer tab I made that you really need to get in close to see that has " Nosey F**k ain't yah " stamped on it.

Did another little trick setup for the airpump for the rear shock's , mounts just in back of the kicker cover down low on the frame, on the heat sheild I made is stamped " Blow Job ".

You can kinda see the rear brakes and the airpump in this pic.

Oh almost forgot the points cover is a one off handmade item, was a gift from some boys I knew in Colorado.

last if you look at the front of the tanks you will see a shutoff valve where the cross over tube should be.

There's more but these you can see.

Entertaining when peeps are looking the bike over and stumble across these.

Anything you all know that I don't know?
Your tricks are putting me to sleep, you and so many others are always after me "lucky charms", my tricks have value and you come here to steals our precious!

I put an oem coil under the seat where an oem coil cannot fit, with no modifications to the frame...and I still have room in there!

Surely with working at a dealership you can cough up something better than holding down a button

My 95 Dyna has the horn tucked in under the seat behind the rear cylinder. It's not something I did and I'm not sure if the PO did it or if it came from the factory like that. But it does clean up the left side of the motor pretty nicely.
