        Once you un-can a can of worms, the only way to re-can them is with a bigger can.

              Did you just take it out of your time machine?

                Thanks!

                Did you just take it out of your time machine?
                LOL And the only thing that would fit through the time transporter was that little ATV trailer!

                  My last post didn't go through, so here it is again...

                  First off, it looks great!
                  Second, make sure the fork bag doesn't mar your painted front fender at full compression of the forks. That would be a heartbreaker.

                        Wow, sweet dreams are made of these! That bag will eventually ruin the fork leg down tubes as they rub up and down on the bag going down the road which would be sinful considering how slick this Midnight rider is.
