Wink I know the answer to this!

Investing in "passenger to rider" communication headsets on my Ultra. Stupid idea if I would have thought about it first-Now she wants to "communicate" more
DOH!

Biggest waste of $80.00 I ever spent. Followed the instructions to the t and they won't stay on. Even when they are on it's a PITA to get anything in or out of them. Junk.

The Kuryakyn Road King Fork Lock Cover. It fell apart in 1 week and was unrepairable.

When I called Kuryakyn, they said I would have to pay to send it back for replacement.

Last time I bought anything from them.

Okay, for HD, I'd have to say purchasing flat black paint and painting the tins on my old sporty...myself. While this wasn't a real $$ expense, the waste of time I spent repainting and repainting and repainting every time it got a scuff from my knee!! Yes, I was a dumba** for believing a one-shot paint project would solve my problem with the stock paint. It's similar to what I hear people talking about that denim black- looks awesome until it turns shiny.

So what didn't you like about it? Personally, I never could get past the looks of the thing. Guess I don't share Ness' Vision...

Quick review-
SE 2.55 cams wouldn't power a radio flyer wagon.
JM 7.25 Speakers couldn't wake a sleeping baby.
HD cup holder is as useless as a skull valve stem cover.
Rubberfrog can't please women.
Arlen Ness is now senile.
