Thumb screw makes it even easier than it already was. I installed one of the HD ones without the logo insert because you can't see it anyway.

You would actually put a thumb-screw on your Ultra without an HD logo?

I can't believe I'm hearing this. You can't see it, but you'll know it isn't there and it will eat on you for life.

i've seen that done...and I've also seen a guy that did his saddlebags and put a petcock on the bottom so the cold water would stay in the bag until he was ready to reload...funny thing...haven't seen that guy in a long time
