What's the little plastic thing under the gas tank on the 18+...? Is it just to fill the space of the smaller tank? It looks kinda funky IMO. And the oil cooler...ya...not in a great spot aesthetically...

congrats you two! 683 pages in this thread and nobody has resorted to name calling until now. Not saying there hasn’t been any conflict or **** talking going on, but you guys took it to the next level.

Hope you two can meet up and hug it out someday.

I'd truely like that!

Maybe I'll try to just read instead of answering. I got this terrible reflex when I'm disrespected. I don't do it, don't want it done to me.

When I suggested going out and test riding both, during his homework, at least he could see what he liked best. Then, he could weight out any other findings he heard. Part of getting what ya want AND knowing what ya got, as I see it. But noooooooo. Hadta be a "butthead". Lmao.

That's what makes live diversified and interesting. Be BORING if we all had that same bike. Not to mention finding it on bike night.

I'm with you there, especially on the frame / tank. I dunno what HD were thinking, but that's just me. Kudos on your choice.

BTW, You might check out the SE 204 cam. Its a straight drop in with no other head work required in order to optimize it. Its just the ticket in a cruiser weight HD with a TC engine. You get enhanced mid to top end performance and the lope at idle is a winner for this style of HD.
