Post a pic of something that reminds you that you've not seen it all yet!

Here are some brake pads that came off a bike that was ridden into the shop last week. :xzqxz:

I laughed when I saw this!

I showed it to a few guys, they thought it was cool. What say you?

Surprisingly the rotor did not look as bad as I thought it would...did not even take a pic of it.

Could not believe it was a real product.

I think it is a fairly new item to appeal to ...well, I don't really know what the reasoning is behind it.

Crazy uh...but there were some youngsters around (the ones that are usually glued to their "smart" phones), and some of them thought it was really cool. I didn't say anything.

I think I do. RUB's that just want to add to the tough guy image and there're plenty of them out there now. But on a Sportster? It is very customizable though.

The foot is placed on the rubber portion of the kick starter which in turn activates a capacitor sending enough current through the leg to cause a knee jerk to start the bike.
