Maybe the door mod should be hinged like the old west saloon doors.
Seems like lots of frequent visits expected in there.
Maybe nickname the coolant bottle "Miss Kitty".

Why the h_ll is everyone so intent with ridiculing the OP? He came up with a solution to fix a problem that concerns him. He wrote it up in case anyone else might want to do something similar. That's your decision. But if it isn't something you think is necessary or not an issue to you then why do you have to flame him instead of just moving on? Maybe he is a rookie, maybe he isn't, I guess all you folks were just natural born master mechanics and bikers. Glad all of us haven't done something deserving of ridicule. This is almost to the point of bullying. It's easy to hide behind the annonymity of the internet. This whole forum and nation has gotten like this and it's ridiculous. I think I'm done here for awhile. Not sure this forum is worth the aggravation anymore. And you don't need to respond to this because I won't see it anyway.

Having to carry bottles of coolant in a saddlebag is your idea of fixing a problem? And bullying? Toughen up. The problem with the nation is people are becoming soft. This is a forum for discussion, ideas, agreement, disagreement and sometimes friendly ball breaking. Stop acting like a *****. This is a Harley forum for God's sake

Didn't mean to hurt anyone's feelings.
Maybe there's room for some tissues behind the little door.
It's a Harley Forum - Man up!

They ridicule because we are on the internet. It is easy for douche-bags to say what they want to people when they are hiding behind a keyboard and there are no consequences. It is also winter and lots of folks are pissed at the world...I will say this...It seems like the last year or so, there are a LARGE amount of confrontational douche-bags on this forum. If you ask a question, at least half the "answers" are going to be from tough guys trying to make themselves sound like "real bikers"...The same if you try to post a helpful hint. I would stop coming here but the classifieds section saves (or costs...) me too much cash...

You need to do some more reading or maybe you have me confused with someone else...I help when I can and am NEVER any type of tough guy...For the record, my post wasn't directed at you...

Did the research for you...all you gotta do is click...WHERE was I a tough guy??

Why can't anyone take a little ball-breaking and criticism anymore? Is society getting this soft? Is skin getting thinner? What a f'in shame...
