I've seen enough vehicles buried on the beach to know I have no business there on a street bike.

Nah, it only weighs a couple lbs. 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!

LMAO!! now that's thinking! good man!
if only people in cages thought half that hard while driving i wouldn't have put a WATCH FOR MOTORCYCLES sticker on my cage and lights on the side of my bike!
ok, the lights look cool but safety was the real reason!

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!

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!

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.
