Well maybe i should have but i would prob taken the faring off the streetglide LOL . I could order a custom made bike and want something changed the next week on it.

There is an MC designation on my drivers license. It stands for Mental Condition.
MC means MORE CHROME and here's today's fix. I feel better now but it won't last until the next UPS drop off.
