Hi Gents.
Some good points made but a couple things come to mind. What they claim for typical gross margin % exceed where we price our product generally, and they are more careful on their customers bringing in guns. We have people walking in with guns unannounced all day long for repair, for sale or trade. That's one reason all of us either wear or conceal a sidearm at work.

I'm not sure what I'm seeing Jack. Are those black and chrome?

Definitely sour cream. And cream Sherry. And we only use Filets.

Bill, I have a Sundowner and like it so far. We'll see on the WS'23 trip in a couple months if it's all that and a bag of stroganoff.

ETA: We've had 2.5" of rain since midnight. Unheard of around here.

You’ll know when “those” customers come through the door.

Angle of the shot I guess. No, they're chrome Bawb. Several pieces. Entire front end for a Heritage. Chrome lowers, chrome upper fork slider covers, Fork cover kit which is that big piece the fits behind the headlight and wraps around. Pearl is pretty much done and this will set her off. Carlini Gangster apes coming next week I hope.

Retaining her stock suspension tho. No need for that she doesn't go on trips any more, just putting around town. Clean everything up real good, new seals and some fresh Bel Ray fork oil.
