A bit dishonest, but Informative
Since we get a lot of questions here about various modifications versus another. Like which seat is the best, which exhaust is the best, etc etc. And since most of us can only really compare the stock setup versus which ever modification we made and can't really give a comparason, I've come up with an idea.
I started looking around for Sportsters listed for sale within about 100 miles. I then call an ask about the bike, tell them I have a Sportster, and I'm looking to buy another one either for my wife, or for me, and give mine to the wife. This is TOTALLY false.
Anyway, then if the bike for sale has a seat I'd like to try, or an exhaust thatI haven't heard, those type of things, I go check outthebike. Maybe I can get some good points of reference for comparing different options. So far, I've tried out a mustang solo seat this way.

Well, it was a short ride.The mustage was plenty comfortable in the seat area, but didnt seem to provide as much lower back support. I've had lower back issues for a good while, so for me, I think I prefer the Sundowner.

So you go around and make believe your interested in buying someones bike and you check out the bikes options and test ride it with no intention of ever buying it.Your a bad man a very bad man.It is sorta funny wasting hours of some poor guys time, well hopefully the people that are selling are not forum members or you will be[sm=bustedsign.gif]

Besides, I didn't waste hours of his time, it was about a 5 minutes phone conversation. He said he would be home all day. I rode over, total time from the time I arrived until I got back on my bike and left was less that 45 minutes. Probably less than half an hour.
