Thanks again. I really apreciate all the information. I wish I would have realized this potential problem before. I would definately have looked in to one of the carbon fiber/kevlar options that you have mentioned here. I could have avoided the initial cost of this parachute type. Hopefully this topic will be helpful to those about to purchase their new Harley and at least one of the additional purchases that go with it. (helmet) That will teach me to ask questions first. Later.
