Went for a little ride with a buddy today to a local brewery.

I got to test out the cruise control a couple times and it works great. Fun for passing your friends with your arms crossed or your hands behind your head. Haha.

I'm with you, I love the grind & sparky show! I'm always lightin' mine up living in the mountains and all. So how long did you get out of your first set of boards?

When I had my yamaha warrior a popular mod was titanium peg feelers which would add a little extra sparkiness when you drag the pegs.

Just over two years. Now with the shotgun I am sure it will be mid summer this year.

Damn it misbehaven.. Why'd you have to go and mention shogun shocks... I've been on the fence for a couple years now (by on the fence, I meen every time I have the money, something happens and I have to reallocate the cash). Tax money came in today and I'm tempted to call them up. I'm a short two hour ride from their shop and days off start Wednesday morning.

Ride on down and JD and Jessica will hook you up. I have 0 regrets with mine. I had to put mine a few times too. Alway something more urgent came up.

So after some minor fabwork and modification I was able to get the HD factory crash bar mounted with the Arlen Ness 3" foot board extensions without it causing any issues with forks or fender. I'll make a new post in the softail forums with a minor write up if anyone is interested.
