     Hi All; My name is Jack and my username is jaxdwg. I ride an 02 wideglide with 98,000 miles on it and I put all those miles on myself. I love Australia. I took my R&R, from Vietnam, there in 69 and have been trying to get back there ever since. I am the guy who invented the Jack's Flaps "AeroVest" because I had the wind buffeting problem after I put on a windshield. I put the shield on because, after moving to Louisiana, USA, I got hit by a bug about the size of a golf ball, (right between the eyes that almost knocked me off the bike) three days after buying the bike. The turbulence was terrible but so were the bugs down here in the southern states. I found that if I put my left arm across my chest, like a salute, the turbulence was gone so I made a set of flaps to take the place of my arm. That is how Jack's Flaps came to be. I've been reading some of your posts and thought I'd join and say hello. I don't want to spam but will answer questions that you may have. I think riding in Australia would be great and hope to do it someday before I die. The only drawback is money,ha ha. I know the owner of the Yahoo Dyna glide forum, who is from there and he is a good guy. I'm going to put this forum in my "favorites" list so I can check in often to see what's happening in your part of the world.------cheers---jack

    Hey Jack, lets see your flaps mate.  This will be interesting

    And can you reverse the instructions for phantom, so he puts on them on backwards, and attracts the bugs. He would just love that
