yea i hear you all about your sore spot with HD. I used to be proud of the Harley V-twin at the heart of my bike, but after they kicked us all in the nuts im not so much. Only prob with my sore spot is my wallet is a gaping wound due to college, so i just dont have the bank laying around to buy a new jacket just because Harley made a D-bag move. originally i got the jacket because my buell dealer had 1 jacket in a small, and i got a screaming deal on this one. little inside connection.
