You SOB Cammy...good guess, but you don't know which fender!

The risers are amazing. I actually ordered the poly bushing kit to get rid of that flex that the stock rubber bushings cause, but my new risers came with bolts that go from the risers, through the triple tree, into the rigid fork leg. Gabe over at "After Hours" was right, there is no better setup. This gets rid of all that factory crap and makes the bars solid as a rock. There isn't even any vibration in the bars.

The engraving is amazing. I told Steve that I wanted something similar to what was on his site, but to make it unique and he definitely did that.

After I knew what direction Steve was going to go, I stopped by my local fabricator, Derek over at Xotic Concepts, and showed him what I wanted. I brought him a picture a friend had painted for me (the skull) and showed him a picture of what Steve was going to engrave and just Derek to have fun. He did! I can't believe how well the seat turned out.

Is the best way to get rid of the reflectors to just floss a piece of string (floss) behind them and then pop then off? Maybe then use a little goo-gone to get rid of the residue?

just pull them right off......once under pressure they pull away quite easy then peal the white adhesive off and use your goo-gone to take away the last little bit.

i dont know why but im guessing heartland......if you were going shadetree you probably would have asked me about mine by now?

im right aint i?
