As the cold weather begins to set in, it is time to start thinking of major modifications to perform on your strom over the cold season.
Maybe people can try different things and report back in early spring on how they are coming along. I have a few suggestions for people to try...
- Front wheel drive modification (alternatly all-wheel drive)
- Reverse gear (so G-Wing's won't have anything on us)
- Side airbags (auto-deploy if the bike falls over)
- Diesel conversion
I haven't decided which one I'm going to try yet...

I'm gonna stick H-D decals all over my Strom this winter and try to add a few chrome accents. Next year I'm going to try and convince really dumb girls that it's a new design from Harley and see if the bike can help me get laid. I didn't buy this thing only for riding you know !!!

That might work on the girls from North Bay, but, not on them Barrie girls...they got book learnin'.

I like the airbag idea. Maybe also a trunk monkey to help you pick the bike back up. I could have used one of those the other day...
Now my next modification is replacing a front turn-signal assembly.
(Other than that, though, no damage!) That little plastic bumper on the side of the tank really works well.

Yeah, couldn't resist. If it's any consolation, there are about 15 million jackasses on the roads here trying to run me over. If you leave enough room to stop, another car jumps in front of you. Freaking jerks....

I hear you I was in Hartford ct. this weekend and the Idea that we have a right to the Highway Seems to not be addressed in the Ct. motor vehicle Driver training program..... :roll:
I've never seen so many people inTuner Cars with Multiple 15" subs & rear spoilers trying to get 12 extra feet ahead of everyone else ,So they can lock up the brakes to stop in time :x
AS BUGG'S BUNNY WOULD SAY,
SHHEEHSSHH what a bunch -a - maroons :roll:

We had 3 members of our club get their patch for this one last winter.
