Got the Shotgun installed! Took a little longer than hoped since I had a retard moment for about 10 minutes. Forgot to loosen up the compressor clamp so it could move into place. After that everything went into place nicely. Took it for a ride Sat for a few hundred miles, the way down was rough then I figured it out a bit better and was pretty nice for the ride back. Pretty fun to show off too......

Nice I have had my shotgun on for a bout 500 miles and love it more everyday
So, I just purchased a powder coated wide headlamp trim ring for my bike. It looks great, but I have one issue. For some reason I'm having issues with secure seating on the headlamp housing. When the bottom screw is fully secure, I still have a bit of play in on the trim ring. Any suggestions?

So not to beat a dead horse, and I have searched around the forum but I can't seem to get the answer I am looking for. I am in the market for a new seat, something that is comfortable for long rides, moves me back/down a little bit since I am 6'3, optional passenger pillion for when the wife rides, etc. I am currently leaning towards the Mustang Tripper, and a couple others, but I can't seem to find any solid reviews. Anyone have any other recommendations/suggestions that I should be considering?

OK 2 things happened... After I brought the bike back from the dealer and had my 7K service completed.. The next day after I rode to work, in my nice clothes I had to make a 10 mile run at noon to a meeting as I parked the bike, set the kick stand and all of sudden felt a extreme burning sensation under my right thigh. I looked down and saw smoke pouring out of my bike. Some how the oil cap blew off and oil shot all over my leg and the engine. SO big mess but no big deal.. I figured the service tech just was lazy and didnt put it in all the way.. so about 2 weeks later.. today I am riding to work down 95 in Baltimore and my rear break seizes. Very little rear brake pressure and i have to limp to work with just my front brake. When I park at work BLAM the oil cap blows again this time blowing oil and literally covering the entire back half of the bike. Only thing I can think of is dealer put in to much oil.. I had to ride 70 miles back to the dealer and they didnt know why the oil plug was blowing. But he did say he has only seen an issue with rear brakes on newer bikes before and it was on fat boy lows. He said it might require a rebuild of the master cylinder and even though my bike is a 10 HD should cover it because this shouldn't happen.. So we will see what happens from here.. really screws up my birthday ride to York to take the Factory tour....
