My son just finished his freshman year in collage...uh college. 4.0 GPA. If he didn't look like me I'd say his mom did a professor while I was overseas. Hell she probably did regardless. Anyways, he fell miles from the tree. I'm glad he's making good use of the free collage....uh...college tuition afforded him due to my military service. Peace. Ride safe.

Looks good. I think I'll just weld some re-bar on to my sissybar and powder coat it instead of buying a new luggage rack. Again, good job. Looks cool.

Nope she's a short red headed Irish gal. Even after 32 years of being married she still puts up with my crap. She was an Army brat My father in law is a retired Major General so she had been well accustomed cleaning and shining.

Super easy, do it and save the money. Get some wrinkle black paint and shoot the ends where you ground it and nobody will know the difference.

You don't need a jack to relocate the turn signals. I have one but I'm 98% sure I didn't use it when I relocated mine. I did get the easy bracket laydown license plate holder and attached my turn signals to it which I think looks better and gives the license plate a nice laydown look at the same time.
