Default RE: acronyms

FLHT designates the bike as an Electra Glide; the "C" designates it as an Electra Glide Classic; an Ultra Classic would be FLHTCU; an Electra Glide Standard is FLHT; an FLHTP is an Electra Glide police model.

Do you think you could cut down on the font size? Huge fonts are usually reserved for profanity, panic, etc.
