You need more cowbell.
If you had more cowbell, it would weigh more and would then hang straight down.

that's my theory anyway.

Not to derail a previously unrailed and rerailed discussion (see thread "A" sub text "B" forum 623) thrown off and corrected by someone unnamed (BC7?) but I have that exact bike but it came without that cool yellow line...is it aftermarket? or did HD mothership leave mine off?? Looks like a good place to set the gas cap.
