It's just for the wow factor. And it's a investment and a much comfier ride then a rice rocket. If anyone lived in PA, jay will be doing stunt shows at pa's largest Harley dealer Appalachian Harley in April.

One other thing. I've learned that a Harley never goes out of style and the family is huge. That why I'm happy to own one.



On a side note if any of u ever get bored, YouTube any of these names. All quality riders doing tricks on Harley's

Matt mingay ( he's an Australian professional Harley stuntride)
Jason pullen ( prolly the best in u.s.)
Fat Greg (a European rider)

no....not really. not saying it's easy per say or anything like that. i know it obviously takes tons of practice and lots of falls but i'm just not impressed with guys stunting bikes that are geared to lift the front wheel and keep it there @ 3mph. what's the point?

well i started my "stunt and style build". worked on performance and looks first.
traded someone local from craigslist with my rally runner 2up seat for a stock nightster seat and pillion passenger seat, power commander 5, short shots, kuryakyn air filter, 13.5" shocks and speedo relocated. gonna get dyno tuned in a week or so, speedo clamp that someone had posted from summit is awesome cuz it matches in color =)

this week is gonna be new handlebars, controls, put the chain drive on, and scrape bar on rear fender
