There's a redhead in Kansas City named Beth that inspired the speedo , small world .

It's a face plate , I real gently work the underside of the bezel and open it up . The old ones are stainless steel so you do it a few times , change out the face plate and krimp it back together . CCI sold speedo skins bookoo years ago , found that in the bottom of a box of crap I got at a swap meet still in a package early 80's sometime

Merlot as in the wine - a full bodied red, that is intoxicating and in the right amount helps get a lady's lingerie off

Yep, well aware of "lemon laws"... they vary by state and in PA, based on what I researched online..PA's lemon laws don't apply to my bike for a couple reasons.. first, the issues started long after the 12,000 mile mark and second, the last two issues occurred after the warranty period expired. Another "qualifier" for lemon law to apply is that there needs to be three attempts to repair the same issue.. and / or, bike has to have been "in the shop" for more than 30 days.. I don't meet any of those "qualifiers"... I'll still talk to someone but.. as far as lemon law goes.. it ain't looking good

I don't recall if i've posted in this thread before, or if there was a similar one in the Softail section, but my bike's name is Lola, because she's a FatBoy Lo.

Damn, sorry to hear it, Mav. I have a Jeep that's pretty much bankrupted me. If I ever get it to run again, it's going directly on Craigs List!

Cheers!!
