Traded a Nympho in for a "Good Girl" once about 20 years ago. Will not ever do that again! Thought I was getting an upgrade.

That is soooo true. I bought a new 2007 Fatboy and probably had $27-28K in it. Finally got rid of it last week for $8,200. Wantinng to buy a Street Glide soon.

Been there, done that. Great for a while, but not a good long-term trade.

Well I hit the lottery on mine. Dumped a "good girl" for my second wife who is also a good girl and a nympho!!! She even had the Doc put me on Androgel because she thought I wasn't randy enough. God I love this one.

Fork baffle. It wasn't very expensive and it didn't hurt anything. I just can't tell that it makes any difference. I guess that's not too bad, so far. the fairing deflectors were the best thing I've done. I'm NOT gonna do anything to the motor!!!! Motor "upgrades" are nothing but trouble!!
