And maybe it might shake one of the pistons loose, can you pick up a hot piston with your bare hands? How hot do they get? Maybe if I wait a while it would cool off, or I could pick it up with gloves, yeah, thats it, I will get gloves. Will gloves void my warranty? If they do then I'm not going to get them, I think, maybe I will.

You are a Female aren't you?

I put my gas cap on top of the gas pump. Awesome signature Dixie, so true.

Dixie,

Unfortunately for you, having chrome or polished tops on your floorboards invalidates all your questions. See, chrome or polish adds a wrinkle to the equation (M.25x((4LT*NZM)+ws2)/32gHq) that simply cannot be accounted for when trying to determine the slippery quotiant of a muddy or non-muddy lighter.

Sorry amigo...

OH, wearing tennis shoes, especially those with red ***** covering your ankle bones, does help. Good luck.

COOL CLEAN LOOK! FBI Jac Knifes..... NICE From the pics they don't look worn but how's your riding style? I would think they would scrape up a storm.

The boards are a lot more comfortable and isolate your feet from vibration better than pegs. They are for old men? Right - they only been putting them on Harleys since about 1906.
