BRY......what in God's earth was tthat gizmo that fell off the HOG. With the chrome it appears to be expensive, although on the other hand it dowsn't appear to have any function.

If that thing hits you on the coconut it would put am ugly dent for sure, did you advise the owner to have it safety wired?

lWhat is it, the toilet handle? :lol: :lol:

Great pictures. You guys either have some great lense filters or the U.S. has a real pollution problem. Those Downunder and Canadian skies are a beautiful blue unlike many I've seen lately.

I think it was a footpeg, forward one.. as his friend said the "other" had fallen off on the last ride....like one set wasn't enough! damn heavy for it's size! when it bounced headheight I got worried... worried it might hit my bike! :(

Bry, two questions:

1. What camera (make/model) did you use
2. Where did you get the cool tank scratch guard?

Heya,

The camera's a straight C2040Zoom 2.1Mp Olympus, no filters used.

The tank pad I found at the accesories dealer. "keiti" was the brand..
I was wrapped when it fitted spot on between the two panels! :D
