It's not solid I don't think, strips of magnetic material separated by something else. Not as strong as it could be for it's size, but it was cheap, and easy to mount. Plus, it made a handy wrench holder when I was under there putting on the new muff!

You sure you don't have those reversed? Just kidding, I carry a Helmet Halo to put on my FF for riding at night for just that reason. That thing reflects like crazy! Cool

That's the main reason I bought this jacket, for night riding, because all the skulls are reflective, with one big one on the back. I wasn't going to get a leather jacket for quite a while, mostly because of the price, and lack of visibility, especially at night, but this one shines pretty decent. Plus fulfilled my jonesing for leather for a while! Roll Eyes

that jacket is SICK!!!! i don't think they had that one while i was there!

i was given an old leather jacket from my friend, it's older then i am! but leather in the summer in south fla=heat stroke! so i went with a textile, not as wicked but gets the job done!

and i like how mine isn't too sporty and it's not a harley jacket....it's kinda it's own thing!

Speaking again of U-turns, I seem to have ground-off/scraped-off about half of the large lower cap-nut on the right peg mount plate - probably in parking lot turn practice. I have looked at hardware stores and and some of the part# diagram references that the forum literatti have posted but it seems this is a special size about 17mm/0.75-inch, and I haven't found a part# for it.

Can I buy this nut directly somewhere or should I have to buy another Savage?

I am pretty sure you can get them at most any hardware store. It is metric, but I am sure you knew that. The best I can tell you is take one off and take it to the store with you. I believe it is a 10mm, but I am not sure.
