I never was a fan of blacked out bikes but Durham Man, yours is helping move me to the dark side. That's a sweet scoot.

Thank you! It was my honor and I wish I were still at it. If I weren't so f'ing old I'd probably be in Ukraine right now.

Both. "Night Prowler" and "Shot Down in Flames" are a couple of my favorites. Brian is/was a good replacement, saw the boys in concert 4 times.

No, never Bon, just Brian. He was replaced by Axel Rose a few years back when they were on tour and doc told him (Brian), get off the stage or you'll never hear again. I heard it was because of his cars and not the music??? I thought that was the end, I've got no use for Axel Rose. Anyway, I later heard that he was back with 'em.

A lot of people liked AC/DC with Bon Scott. I liked them with Brian Johnson way better.

Also liked Sabbath with Dio over Ozzy, though I do like Ozzy when he went out on his own.

Guessing I am in the minority.

Did the first service on my 2022 Fat Boy and put Redline trans oil in the tranny and damn that stuff works. It's so much easier to find neutral as it should be , so either Redline works or the Primary wasn't set at the right level either way I'm a happy camper. Should've used their Primary oil as well instead of Harley Syn3.
I've been using Redline in my 2 Twincams with good results

Wife wanted a fairing for the new '22 FXBBS and liked the HD 1/4 fairing. I talked her into a color match because the bike deserved better than just another black fairing. Surdyke came through like always, good price and great service, and everything actually showed up WAY ahead of their projected dates. The paint matched fairing wasn't expected until the end of June, but it and all the other bracketry showed up over the last 2 weeks.

The description for the fairing install on stock FXBBS bars says that you need to do the turn signal relocate. Well, it's not true, there is still plenty of room if you left them in the stock location. I did move them though and I think they look 1000 times better! They are now mounted horizontally off the mirrors. I have always hated that contrived ball mount system hanging off the lever perches. I would say, even without adding the fairing, doing the signal relocate is a big improvement. It was about 50 bucks on each side.
