Hells Foundry Tinted Lens Cover for Road Glide..... biggest P.O.S. I've ever spent money on. Small ears that attach the lens to the fairing are a terrible design, very fragile. Would remove and try to sell, but I can guarantee once I remove it, it will break.

Extended bags and lowered shocks. Forget about going around a corner or going over a bump. Made bad handling bike, terrible!

I did spend ways too much money to get a tune. That whole H-D tuner module is a total rip off. Mind you - I put a PCIII on my Fatboy and it's failed twice - so I guess at least I have the reliability of using the factory ECM.
