I'd go with the BAL if I could afford one, as opposed to this set up. But to each their own, and I can't be the judge of that one. A Harley that's not been modified is just a Harley. It's what we do to them that makes them ours.
I was rear ended in my cage back in 80' so I am extra careful of cars approaching. I can't count how many accidents I have avoided since then, but their have been more than a few.
One time in particular a lady was giving me the "LOOK" when I pulled up in somebody's yard to her right. When I pointed to the rear, you should have seen the look on her face as this old Oldsmobile was squealing to a halt.
Priceless!
