Went up to Frasers yesterday morning to show them my scratch in the rear guard
Anyway a funny as fuck thing happened whilst I was there.
This bloke is checking my bike out big time ( another customer) telling me all about his breakout and the stage Iv kit,,, I just listening and nodding.
Any way he says what are them A-N-D-O heads ya have as I have never heard of them???? At this point I am on the ground LMFAO.

Some more Bits and Bob's
Got some grip covers these soften the grip up and make it a bit fatter. I find this more comfy

Got some tank Armour of Gumtree

Hilly it corners so much better that's for sure, the only criticism is the harsh feel of the suspension, if you hit a bump in a corner that you a ripping up it really unsettles the whole bike and you loose the confidence you had in the bikes cornering ability before the bump. The Softy held itself a lot better in those situations and just felt a lot more plush. But as a complete package its a better all over than the Softy
And Loving it
Ando my 2 bobs worth.
As you know , I have a dyna and softy, they are chalk and cheese to ride.
Hilly is onto it mate, I've had a couple of dynas , there is many things you can do to improve handling but sputhe is the best upgrade for $ you Will do. Hell of a diffrence. Next on the list is rear shocks, I have run a couple of sets of ricors over the past couple of years and once again value for money is excellent, especially since they have changed then recently, now even better. You definately need these 2 upgrades with the big donk mate if you want to hook in on her. Progressives get the thumbs down for me, I believe they have gone downhill in quality last cuople of years.
If people ride dynas tame they need not worry but those that hook in on the bends will have issues with wobbles at the speeds Ando indicated. Ando them wobbles will be gone as soon as you fit sputhe or tru-trac regardless of what shocks you have on. Yep shocks will impove it again but first spend would be stabilizers for me mate
Went through the same shit with Samson but after 6 months of phone calls they decided I was not going to give up. I told them I was saving up to visit the states and my first port of call was Samson strange but they they decided to change their mind and send me a new pipe. It was very stupid on their part because over the 6 month period I joined every Harley forum in the states and gave them very bad feed back regarding there pipes and still do to this day if anyone asks.
These little $2 LED's rocked up today for my number plate. They put out a fair bit of light and will do the trick lighting up the numberplate
