Default Is it just me?

...or is this one of the most retarded threads on the Dyna Forums?

Read it carefully and then think about what the poster is saying.....

Considering all that's involved in loosening the bars and finding what feels right, I guess a big long discussion would be appropriate.

OP says he is seeing lots of pictures, then he asks for more pictures...
How many stamps would I need on the envelope to mail him an allen wrench?

Would they have pics of Dynas on them?

Cool

No it's not just you! It is bad as the many threads, especially in Touring, from owners of new bikes wanting to change their bars, because they can't get comfortable. It hasn't occurred to them to adjust the darned things! Over the years it has seemed to me that every Harley I have test ridden has the bars set up a little too high for my liking, but it is pretty easy to put that right - or get the dealer to do it!

Spanners, don't study posts too closely in HDF, otherwise you'll go round the bend! There are a great many more where that Dyna one came from.

I don't see anything wrong with that thread. Way dumber threads on here. If you don't like that thread, why don't you comment in the thread? Or better yet, ignore it.

I don't like threads like this, that talk about another member behind his back. Man up.
