Yeah I remember back in the days when you bought a new bike, they'd shower you with gifts. My last new bike, they gave me a handshake and a hey-how-do-you-do.
I had to buy my extra fob too. They acted like I had asked for the moon, I had to jump through hoops just to get the damn MANUAL!
I reckon I was lucky to get a free ball-point pen when I bought the FLSTC used... or did I spend a fortune on the pen to get a free motorcycle???
Since my wife won't let me buy a touring model and I need to ride across the state and beyond, I got a Wild *** seat cushion. I think this will pair nicely with the bag I use as a back rest. I'm headed to Houston this weekend so I'll give it a 500-600 mile shake down run.
Corbin is sending out orders but not taking repair requests?!? wtf?
I've emailed them 3 times in the last few weeks and get no response.
Guessing you bought from a supplier and not direct?
I replaced the cowbell horn cover with an Arlen Ness round one.
Pros:
- It’s way better looking than the cowbell.
- Any 5-hole timer cover can be used as the insert, which is awesome. I had an unused Harley Brass Collection sitting around, and that’s what you see in the pics.
Cons:
- A couple of the holes on the horn cover for the insert were not drilled very well. Timer cover screws are notoriously soft, so I had to take my time screwing them in/was careful not to overly tighten them.
- The cover exposes more of the horn bracket. I should have replaced the chrome bracket with a black one, which I’ll do as soon as I can get one.
- The OEM nut plates are a pain to get on the new cover, and it’s tough not to scratch the new cover tabs which they slide on to.
Got some new boots recently (not really riding boots but had a big reinforced toe box), and had a difficult time catching the jiffy stand. So over the past two weeks went to my dealer to order a jiffy stand extension, went back a few days ago to pick it up when it came in, went to the hardware store yesterday to get some more drill bits and a center punch (can't find the one I already have). Today was the big day and installed it. Now I'm ready for a nap.
BTW, who named them jiffy stands? That is so un-harley!
