    Wild Bills Highway Pegs

    BTW if you are going with the Kuryakin stuff and the WB pegs, consider passing them along to Garauld for powedercoating to match the engine cases...the payback is pretty short considering the elbow grease and chrome polish needed to keep those shiney things shiney... Wild Bill hiway peg mounts...

    Saddlebags- On or Off?

    No need to pose for any badges. The roads here are only patrolled by radar/camera rigs, and plenty of them too (no and I mean NO highway patrol of anykind....they sit in the office and wait for calls). The cams are all aimed to hit the specially designed front license plates of the cages. Bikes...

    OK this is kind of Dumb

    If you happen to park on a slope, even slight, be sure that you park with the rear wheel on the "downhill" side. Muscling that baby uphill is a *****, and can cause problems (like a pulled muscle, just ask me).
