Have to tie it down on the left side, but that's just a simple matter of 2 or 3 tie wraps. You'd have to look close to see it's not the factory layout.
Very good idea. That's what I plan to do on my Sportster as well.

Got out and enjoyed the nice hot humid sunny day. After about an hour or so I decided it was time to stop and grab something to drink and find some shade.

LOL, actually, yesterday I test rode a Pan Am special. That will be the next bike I get. Very happy with my Ultra, so nothing anytime soon.

I’ve been riding since 2014, and I got my 1st ticket yesterday on my 48. Meh, it was bound to happen. And it wasn’t even speeding (using the center turn lane to pass two slow cars without turning left afterwards).

The cop was cool, though. $80 ticket.
