Now if you wanna talk about useless..........

This is the biggest waste of money I've ever spent, and it was only 11 bucks.

The last two hours of a twelve hour ride to BBB last year (a little dehydrated), right hand was cramping,
picked one up and worked great, don't use it all the time, but I keep in the TP, great relief when needed.

Bought brand new tires for my wide glide and brakes and was waiting for them yo get put on while in Missouri on a trip. Saw a 2011 road glide custom some one used as a garage ornament for a deal I couldn't pass up. 400 miles with thousands in upgrades on it for 14k. Now I am out 600 for tires and brakes for a bike I don't own anymore.

I was a little hesitant at first, but I'm glad I read the whole thread, I saved some time cash and trouble here.

Default Fuel Moto 107 kit

Not that products were bad but seems the numbers they advertize for horsepower and torque are only true when they are installed by them and their dyno. Bought the total package installed by an Indy and check by three so far. All say after leak downs and dyno check that everything was installed properly and tune seems to be right using Fuel Motos maps. But telling them what numbers were promised and looking at the website they laugh.

It is a tie between the HD Saddlebag Lid Organizer and the Reinhart slip on mufflers. Two biggest POS I have ever purchased. The lid organizers don't stay on no matter what you do and the Reinharts are pure junk. The chrome on the end caps fell off in less than a year and baffles rattle like he!!. As for Reinhart service... don't go there. They enlightened me that I could purchase new end caps for $75 each and said they had never had any complaints about the baffles rattling despite the 1000+ internet posts about them rattling. I leave the end caps on for others to see what POS they are and I wrapped the baffle ends with fiberglass tape and drove them back in to prevent the rattling.

Rinehart xtreme duals - Sound great but don't line up out the back. Rinehart blames it on Harleys muffler mount and Harley blames it on the bends of the pipe not being correct so I'm stuck in the middle with one crocked a$$ pipe comming out the rear of the bike.

I used a similar device for years on my WG - called the Throttle Rocker, or somesuch? That little piece of plastic was worth twice its weight in gold on long fwy runs (like I-90 thru MT). Saved me a bunch of pain over the years.

Now I'm starting to wonder if buying a mid-frame heat deflector could be my next "worst upgrade" after riding in 100 degree E WA heat last week.
