I bought the fuel fitting cover. The only thing it did for me was to cover the peeling factory chrome on the original fitting. I guess I got something out of it.

[QUOTE=rolloffhill;4069968]Headbolt bridge
Headbolt bridge does fill a dark spot on the engine, but I guess it really serves no purpose.
Probably my most useless purchase was the chrome swing arm inserts. They fell off very soon, but not are attached with double stick tape and no problems since.

I bought a V&H Fuel Pak and could never get it tuned right. V&H had very sh1tty customer service. I had the bike on the dyno having it tuned and they wouldn't give the mechanic doining the tuning the map I needed. Needless to say, I ridded myself of the POS fuelpak and went to a PCIII.

At the "stealers" suggestion, changed my passenger stock floorboards to CHROME floorboards AND CHROME mounts (that nobody can see) for about $500.00........
And maybe my analog temperature dip-stick thingy that works nicely, but who cares what the temp is, I know when it's HOT !!!
And then $3,000.00 for my V&H LONGSHOTS with SE A/C and SERT.............
but it DOES sound good.........
OH, and the DYNO that the stealer said I HAD TO HAVE!
Then there's the more comfortable passenger seat that I bought for my partner that NEVER rides with me......had for one week before I bough a "tall-boy" seat...... JEEEEEZ... you can really spend some money on these things.....
And not to mention several hundred dollars on clothes from the stealership....... ummmmmmm... and 4 helmets before I found one that I liked!

mine; The "if your bike is stolen or totalled out,you'll get $5000 towards a new bike"plan.
1. If it got stolen I'd hunt the perp down and let him know what 'Lead mesquitos' are. And end up doing time.
2. If it's totalled then it will probably mean I will be too.
Too bad I did'nt have it back in '80 when my 2 week old Sporty got backed over by a little old lady in a parking lot
