LOL I hate to get in the middle of your love affair, but the only bike that I needed to tow TWICE was my 2012 Road King. Once for the fly by wire throttle and the other for a bad voltage regulator.

remember this - he can only ride 12 days. A year as its snowing or 25 below zero - its a Twinkie fest what its not < this is his hole grail

To extend it to 20 days they do this - they build a toboggan

I told you to not put 20" apes on it but you wouldn't listen, you buggered up the wiring in the bar.

On a serious note, The biggest cause of reliability issues on Harleys is due to the owners working on them and modifying them.

His feet look like they're on the exhaust (brilliant) but others have pegs there. I think its a matter of trying to look different when its all been done before
