For me it is the V&H Big Shot duals on my 01 Road King. They are a lot louder then I was expecting and sound like crap IMHO. I did install Big City Thunder QQ baffles in them and they do sound better. I can live with them now but I wish I went with true dual headers and slipons instead though.

Digital oil temperature/oil level dipstick ($150). Absolute junk. Worked for 3 weeks. Replacement didn't make it that long. Save your $$$

I had given this thing some thought, but every time I go in the dealer I ask the parts guys how are they holding up. I have heard about the moisture problem, the tiny wire that breaks off at the battery, etc.
Some will tell me "no complaints". On another day one will tell me "I wouldn't buy one". I have decided to pass on it myself, may go with an anolog model someday.
Thanks for the info...

Told Wifey to pick a different mirror.
was it always the same mirror in a different color?

yes. I ordered from another source also, in hopes of getting a different batch, with the same results. I saw a Ness version of a Victory at the Dealer last week, it had the same mirrors, and they were both tinted. Hard to see in low light situations.

BUB Lakesters on an 08 street bob. Dangerously low, could hardly turn right.

J&M Rokker speakers, sounded good for a month and then blew on me. Got a real runaround on the warranty too.

Mine still seems to be working . . . despite the display being FULL OF OIL!!

Damn . . . for the price, haven't they ever heard of SEALING the MF?
