I bought the Hauling-*** brand taillight / license plate mount for the bob fender to add some chrome back there. Spent $124 on it then turned around and bought the Harley LED taillight which takes the place of the whole assembly. Anyone need the Hauling *** assembly for cheap?

This was my worthless piece, had it on for about six months, then put the originals back.

HD 'Stitched Hand Grips' PO# 56757-05- the end caps fell off within 5000 miles. I replaced to Kuryakan Iso grips and love them.

I have a set of grips that I bought on a whim, and didn't like them when I got home. Still in the box, never used.

Now, mabye we can work out some sort of trade network here...
