Lucky you. I visited both an upholsery store and a leather supply place today checking out sting ray. The upholstry store is ordering in some swatches Monday. The supply place didn't have large enough hides though they had the color I want.

Thanks Captain!

Was in VB after work and stopped at Southside-Rep told me he would have one in a few days or so!

Tried apes a while back with a friend's bike-just didn't feel comfortable with them. Test rode a Lo with slammers and I was hooked!

Doppleganger?..Ok...but your bike is the big brother! lol

If your down near the OBX one day..gimme a yell!

Ride safe!

I just about ate a ditch a few weeks after getting mine. Hard right going downhill and uphill after turn. Bad thing was wifee was on the back. Luckily oncoming traffic was way off. I was dragging floorboard and my foot to make it. It was an early morning ride so we didn't need coffee afterwards - but hit the nearest bathroom

Both bikes look absolutely bad ***! If Harley would have still been making the Train when I got my Lo, the decision on which to buy would have been SOOO much harder. That is actually what I was wanting to get until I found out they don't make them anymore; I was heart broken for only a second, and then I saw the Lo...
