I'm brand loyal. I believe in the Harley product. Wifee and I own a Street Glide and an Ultra and I hate seeing those fairings on Jap bikes. I know the importance is that they are out riding. But, if We were to ever ride with one I don't think I'd be able to stop looking at it. Most likely I'd say something and Wifee would be giving me the hairy eyeball. I wouldn't be able to resist. Any thoughts?
to yourself.........

You do what you can at the time. Everyone here has been there at one time or another driving a piece of crap car cause that's all you could afford renting a little apartment or owning a little house cause that's all you could afford etc... Years ago I rode a Yamaha cause that was all I could afford, I got to the point where I could buy a Harley and I did an now I am on my second. With all the people out of work and the state of the economy we should consider ourselves lucky that we can afford and cut those who can't a break. I know that if I for some reason could not afford my Harley I would have a Yamaha sitting in the garage. Riding is more important than what is being riden...I don't care what anybody else is riding, as long as it isn't one of those Ugly *** Victories.....LOL

I had a 59 Triumph that I started putting Harley parts on, because it was hard finding old Triumph parts.
My wife has a Memphis Shades batwing on her Dyna.
So..... what's your opinion on those Japanese and Mexican parts on your Harley?
Stirring the pot since 1951 for your flaming pleasure

As I said previously, the important thing is that people ride. I feel the Memphis shades fairings look too close to Harley. I still wave to everyone. Usually the metric guys don't wave back. Not trying to stir stuff up. Was trying to get a consensus and perhaps some insight. I owned a Yamaha that I loved. But I didn't dress it in anothers clothes.
