Jordie gave the thumbs up on this sled, a '01 FLSTFI Screamin Eagle Stroker (95") with Screamin Eagle heads, etc.

Blessings,

Jimmy,

Congrats, brother! That's a sharp-lookin' scoot, but it's a far cry from the LT you were shoppin' for. Is that Softy gonna work okay with your back?

recoveringnky · 04-11-2007, 06:49 AM

Nice scoot Jimmy...but what a beauty that is sitting with you!!

Peace,
Kym

The_Hammer · 04-11-2007, 07:44 AM

Thanks folks.

**Astro** · 04-11-2007, 08:47 AM

They're both beauties for sure, Jimmy! Congrats on the new scooter!

I was eyeballin a lumbar support seat made by none other than HD itself. (Of course they want 500$ for it, and my firstborn), the ride is gonna be as good as it gets. I can take it for about an hour right now, hopefully I can build up to more.

Blessings,

Jimmy

Nice bike........weather's gonna get better next week in Omaha any way you look at it.

chris k · 04-11-2007, 02:23 PM

Great Bike!! Wear your helmet!

best · 04-11-2007, 02:59 PM

Nice

As for HD wanting the first born... hmmmm maybe I could get a free bike out of that. They take her in payment, they will be asking I take her back *LOL*
Ok but give me a bike first *LOL*
My daughter is one tough cookie. Nice but tough.

Is that forward controls or just pegs on it?

Now, tell me this is your garage...!!

Sheryl85 · 04-11-2007, 03:32 PM

If that's his garage we're loading up the kindergarteners and taking a field trip to Jimmy's house!

Nice bike and a beauty with you in the pic.

Not familiar with a "lumbar support" saddle from HD, but I'd sure like to see one. Do you have a link for it?

As for building up: Take it a day at a time, and respect your body's limits. Take frequent breaks for stretching and walking around. Apply ice at the end of each day's ride, and get plenty of rest.

I'm gonna be in the same boat once this cast comes off, and that's my plan!

A garage full of expensive bikes and amped-up crumb-snatchers!

That's a scary thought!

Far out Jimmy. Looks good on ya. The bike too.....I've got the stock HD backrest on my Glide too. Then I bought a wide lumbar support belt like the weightlifters use. My belt has a pocket on the inside, centered in the middle of it. I bought some high density foam, then carved out a half-moon piece that fit inside the pocket. Next, I added adjustable highway pegs on the crash bar. When I'm cruisin', the foam in the belt rests securely in the center of my lumbar region and my feet on the pegs keeps my butt from sliding forward. It's like ridin' my Lazyboy down the highway. I've riden 500 miles a pop like this, with no lower back pain. I've used this set up for 7 years now and as long as I stretch before a long ride and stop to stretch often, I don't have any problems. My previous ride was a 1985 Wing with no backrest. Had to sell it after one season, my lower back was fubar. I'll take some pics of my setup and post em' for ya'. Only drawback is it makes me look like I have a way bigger belly than I do have.....LOL

Gad, I thanked myself...duh, wrong button Jimmy! Sheryl, that was the minute I made it mine at Dillon Bros. Harley in Omaha, NE. Like I said, the boss gave it the thumbs up.

Blessings to you,

Jimmy

Dang, Now that I think about it, sure would be great to have a garage full like Leno's-and the crumbsnatchers too!
