That's hilarious! I was wondering the same.

I'm all for doing your own thing. I can understand from the POV that you can take all that stuff off when you want and still have your FB. That's something a SG owner would never do. The question is, is that what you do? Otherwise, for the money invested in all that gear, you could have had a SG. To each their own...ride on...

I think it's a Fatty Glide! I'm heading in that direction. Putting a Fairing on right now (side tracked this month-working on my daughter's new house, I just need a warm day to work on the wiring) but it looks great! That a Reckless Fairing?

I think you've done a great job with it and if it makes you happy, then it's worth it. Personally, I would have bought a SG.

/facepalm

It's his ride, he can do what he wants. FBs sit nicer, more versatile, etc...it's a blank canvas that go in any direction.

Ignore them man. It's your bike! Keep up the cool.

Cheers
