    My VIN:    Banged your VIN'S mom

    Not only is my hood perfectly flush, but my new hood seal attracts even more women than the old factory one ever could dream to.

    Note to self: replace hood seal in case of divorce.

    Thanks. It's an old pic and after years of sportbikes I thought I would give cruisers a try. It didn't take so I compromised with a thumping V twin literbike.

    A DeLorean will get more chicks (assuming the hood alignment is correct).

    My VIN:    10757 1st place Concourse 1998

    I adjust the center latch of the hood so the rear corners are just a little low and then use the bump stops to push the corners up flush.That way the corners don't shake while you are driving. Make sure the V notches are lined up with the bump stops so they will capture the the bump stops in the event of an accident.

    My VIN:    Between VINs

    Traded my RC-51 for a cruiser. It's very comfortable but I don't grin when I rev the throttle like I used to.
