Stro,
Congratulations on graduating the course and taking the Top Gun award. Just wanted to thank you for the day-by-day posts. I really enjoyed the reading and like most here got pulled right in to the threads each day. Thanks again, good luck and ride safe.

Hey Stro, how's the back and ankle?? Healing up and feeling better yet?

 

Depending on the height of the curb, a low mount oil cooler or the rear muffler tips will probably contact first before a fender, at least on an Electraglide. Lowered bikes more so for obvious reasons.

 

Thanks for asking. My back is fine, no issues. My left ankle gets tight and hurts whenever I stop using it for a few minutes. As long as I'm walking/moving around the pain level is reasonable. Might take a while to get it back to normal.

 

Probably time to let this thread die but I just figured out how to post videos (I think)... they aren't all as smooth as I would have liked though!!

Here I am in the keyhole:

Stro, nice videos!

 

Stro,
What are they using there in the intersection video to protect the outer tips of the batwing fairing?

 

Well I read the whole thread. Very interesting and thanks for sharing you time. Don't let the Top Gun thing go to your head. Sounds like the chick was your only compitition, another week and she would have won it! lol So, is she hot or what? This is the best read on HDF in a long time. Now let get busy bustin those cagers on the cell phone's, Sarg!!!!

 

Don't put the guy on the spot. If you read the whole thread then you should have noticed the link to the video on post #215!

If not, here it is............http://www.wowt.com/home/headlines/9...ction=comments

Watch the video and make your own determination about her.

 

We used pieces of old firehose held on with duct tape. Protects the corners of the fairing in the event that the bike goes "full cockroach"! (mine was down a lot but never full cockroach!)
