Thanks Tracy, they both look clean but I believe both are aftermarket. Not a bad deal but I hear the ABS is thinner so structurally they are weaker (??). Never been in that market before so a little learning curve.

Might take a closer look...........

Not after market Stan. They are take offs. Give the guy a call if you are remotely interested. I have been in this shop. He has a lot of Harley stuff...


His name s Gary Linville and he's pretty cool dude and long time biker

Here's another one of Gary's ads that kinda gives you a view of what he keeps on hand.

Tracy, I got a decent (so I think) deal on a soon-to-be-carryover '15 in September. The dealer had (4) standards and specials - no '15 Ultras.
Since mine was plain...no abs, no security, the upgrade to a new RG Ultra was a little more than 10K. Too rich for me at the time. Lotsa bells and whistles on them you know......
Honestly I traded for half that....on my '14 RK with 13K miles on it. That deal worked for me at the time, and hadn't considered adding a tour pack until now........

I'll give that some thought Tracy - Thanks
You could stack it on top of your tour-pack (A double pack !) and bring it to Woodstock '16 !! (For a small fee........)

Takes giant juevos to ask a guy to pay you for bringing you something, Stan.

Ya know Tracy, he's got the kind of small shop I'd love to create, but I'm too damn old to start now.

Then there's that small matter of start-up capital......and locating a small business where your clientele is inactive for almost 1/2 year !!

He works out of a garage right next to his house and although things slow down during the winter, he stays pretty busy.


What you see those pictures is the result of years of accumulating parts and customers. Started as a hobby and the next thing ya know...


There are a lot of guys around here like me that ride year round if the roads aren't screwed up....
