My ex DIL's Father, which is Luke's other PaPa, has a new Tri-Glide.
He decided to install some 14" Paul Yaffe apes on it himself. I put the same bars on Purple a few years ago. It's a little bit of work. Pull the fairing and tank and go to work, including brake line and clutch cable, and he got in over his head. His brother in law came over, leaned on the inner fairing that he had pushed forward, and it tipped completely over and knocked a baseball sized dent in his brand new front fender.
We're not besties but he's a pretty good dude. He called me and I helped him put it all back together. Considering he wanted to light it on fire and call the insurance co, he's riding it now so he should feel better....

Goodnight Jack. I'm fighting. Kicking life's *** right now, just *** bad as it got me.
Chuck, you're not the only one who's dented a front fedlnder recently. Your luck is really something, gotta say.

Prayers to you Chris, been down hard before myself. Other than grinding my knee down to the bone and having to walk with a crutch for six months, I did “Ok” . Hope you heel up fast 🙏
