Will that stop this?
Funny thing is is you're the only one that ever brought up the glued on grips that you say "so many of us use".
Maybe JS should stick with his famous quote "If I had to explain it to you, I’d fail. I can’t explain it to myself..."

[SELF-CENSORED]

You know, you could very easily just say something like "Some of the new grips don't use glue and lock into a particular position" instead of getting all uppity about it. And if you don't think that an awfully large percentage of HD riders aren't using glue-on grips, you're kidding yourself.

SO - Can you PLEASE just let this go now?

Okay, stupid question, I'm sure...

To begin with John, you singled me out and I'm sorry for offending you from the beginning when I posted:
"That's what I thought, you didn't do as mentioned so I've done it for ya!

Here ya go http://www.harley-davidson.com/en_US...ts/-J04258.pdf"

As seen here you have very thin skin and get offended very easily. Your remarks such as "OMG, Jesse Cripes... [SELF-CENSORED]" along with your bold characters show this. If anyone is getting all uppity it would be John.
It's ok John, go have a beer. I'm sure you'll be ok. Lets see if you can live up to your own question?

Agreed, the next thing they will disagree on is which side of the seat to put the gas cap on
