So, I have decided I like the look of the bike better without the tank bra
I think a part of that is because I have seen Mark's and the fact that the bra matches the seat fabric is just too cool, and his looks awesome
Mine does not look like that, and it just bothers me it is all just a mismatch on my bike, plus, I have to confess, more yellow is better
I really like how this looks...
So I have decided to go with a bra, a 3M Clear Bra just like I have had put onto my pickups

I have been in contact with Lucas at this place and he is going to custom cut me the tank top piece out of the better quality 3M material so I can cover almost the entire tank, this will make me much less worried about scratching the tank with my jeans or with the magnetic tank bag
I have contacted Nick who did all the custom work on my truck, and I think he is going to help me do the instal

Outstanding!
This weekend does not look like it is going to cooperate with me...
Weather Channel has 70% chance of rain on my only day to ride
Maybe that is good, it will keep me inside, in the garage, maybe I can get the cars down
Love the old Curtis plane

May be the rain will wash all the sand and gravel off the Southern tier back roads. I had a serious "pucker" moment on one corner. The back end stepped out while I was leaned over. Thought I was going down. The tires caught on clean pavement and the bike wiggled pretty hard and then settled down. Got my attention!

Glad you are safe. A lesser rider (say me) would probably have gone down.

It saddens me to know some stewardess most likely just threw my 1st one away.
I did sign up for the course so I'll let ya know what I thought of it afterwards
