Slow day there Jim?

I'm gonna sit down again tonight and peruse the threads for more how-to's. If anybody comes across how-to's that I miss, PM me and I'll include it.

A lot of you know more about some things than me like aftermarket seats, sissybars, highway bars, windshields, etc. PM me and point out products that you've found to be really cool and recommend to other owners.

And thanks, Clint, for your idea and making it happen.

I thought about doing just that but wasn't sure how much overlap there was. I'll link to this one so d-J doesn't have to update both.

Thanks Clint. I find the search engine not very "precise", i.e. it yields way too many unrelated posts, imo. DJ's summary of the topics will help out many members.

So far three members have sent me requests to include a link on the M50 compilation post. If you've done something cool and posted it and/or posted a how-to that's not on the link but you want it on there, shoot me a PM. There's a lot of cool stuff out there and I'm sure I've missed quite a few things.
