As a quick aside to the easterners ... chaps is pronounced "SHAPS" not chaps like chapstick or chaps my a$$. Now I'm going back to the tech forums where there is a chance for me to learn something worthwhile. You folks play nice here in the General chat, ya hear?

Why bother responding if you can't be civil to others?

Guess these folks have nothing better to do with their time.

Kinda sad if you think about it.

I'm not sure but I think after the H.D group bought the company back from AMF, Willie G was made head of the design dept or something like that and a couple of things he did was design the skull and #1 logo to give harley a new, more radical image to set them apart from the old AMF ones.
Anyway, I think that's how it went,

I posted that reply on another thread that asked the same question and was told to quit being a know it all by one of the posters on this thread, guess you missed it. And yes, I do hate it when someone plays forum cop or trolls just to stir things up.

Sorry if you took offense,

Krusr

When looking for passeger foot pegs for my Cross Bones, I picked the Willie G ones, seemed to make sense to me. I hope I don't offend the skull fashion police.......

I agree. The only thing more tacky is fishtail mufflers. Those things are really stupid looking.

That, my friends, is a winning series of events on a long ride, and important. Plus you can pull over and take a leak without pulling your gloves off.
Remind me to never touch your stereo.
