Hello all. As some of you may know, we have been promising a taller shield for the Road Glides. It is finally in the home stretch. These shields will be offered up from 7 through 18 inches tall. And of course, with our re-curve. But this one will the have re-curve across the entire top and even going down the sides a bit. Should be a sweet shield.
What we need some help on again, is the name. We would like to keep it shark affiliated. You know, like Jaws or Great White, or something along those lines. Any and all ideas would be greatly appreciated. What do you got for me?
It'll be hard to beat the name Thresher:
I Look forward to seeing the new shield, I"d gladly Rate it for you, and others, since i ride 10,000 per and will test it on the East coast. Keep us posted on its Progress.
How about the "Mako Shark"? I seem to remember a prototype corvette called the Mako.
From wikapedia:
Shortfin makos travel long distances to seek prey or mates. In December 1998, a female tagged off California was captured in the central Pacific by a Japanese research vessel, meaning this fish traveled over 1,725 miles (2,776 km). Another swam 1,322 miles (2,128 km) in 37 days, averaging 36 miles (58 km) a day.[10
It is also one of the fastest sharks, reportedly able to reach 62 mph.
