    Well they could be like Alex did, only send the kids off, put the bike on the lift, get naked and sit on the bike and pretend your riding. After that you never know what can happen. :D

    Just remember, Big Bikes don't stop no where near as fast as a Sporty
    And to have one of them slidin on the wheels on the road trying to stop them is a trip if you don't jacknife.

    Been there and done that doing 90. It was a trip.

    For two reasons. The first one is because I can. The second is that you guys think that it runs good, I say that it is under powered. :rolleyes:

    Probably seems that way to you since you are used to zipping around on Whiplash. Your bagger isn't a hot rod.

    When I rode my sisters Sportster I always thought it was fast, it wasn't until we raced that I found out my bagger is faster, it just doesn't seem like it because your so damn comfortable sitting in the seat.

    Will these mounts pull the pegs back a little? The highway pegs are out just a little bit too much for me?

    Spray it with Nitrous, mount a supercharger on it, install a push button air shifter and put a 15" wide slick on the back. Why? Because you can.... :roflmao:

    I am up and down on the radio thing now that I have had a chance to listen to it when I am riding. I think that it nice but not necessary for me, of course ZI am saying that because I broke the channel changing switch when I was playing with it. Maybe that will change once I get that fixed which I just ordered the part for. One thing that I am looking forward to is that I can plug my phone in and listen to whatever it is that I have on that. I will take a nother look at this link CB, thanks.:cool:

    Speakers are cool there CB, but I think that I am more interested in the top item of the page from that link, make it a lot more adaptable to an Ipod or phone or whatever. :)

    I think that I am going to go with a set of pipes that are from a place in Illinois called Drago's and the pipes are called Dragula's. I will be going with a stepped true dual.:cool:

    You got an Iphone or Droid?

    Get a Ram Mount for the bars
    with a cradle for the phone

    Download the Pandora App
    use a cable to run from the output
    on the phone to the Aux input on the Radio

    Pandora lets you make up your
    own stations by artist or type.

    No commercials, no dip jockeys
    no CDs ...
