serious question, does the big chrome part on the gas tank ever blind you? when i had my marauder just the chrome gas cap would seriously blind me and id rid with my hand covering it just to see. cant imagine what all that chrome on the tank would do with the sun over head.....ZooTech wrote:Indeed.

Well, I'm always wearing sunglasses if the sun is out at all, so it hasn't been an issue. I carry a pair of clear lensed glasses in my bag for after sunset. Plus, the gas cap on your Marauder may have just been at the perfect angle to screw with your eyes. My actual gas cap is black, and the chrome portion of my "dash" is devoid of any real flat surfaces to reflect much direct sunlight from, since it's mostly convex.iwannadie wrote: serious question, does the big chrome part on the gas tank ever blind you? when i had my marauder just the chrome gas cap would seriously blind me and id rid with my hand covering it just to see. cant imagine what all that chrome on the tank would do with the sun over head.....

Actually, I have 'em for self defense for when I get a hankerin' for that awesome Chinese restaurant down in the ghetto of Columbus! If anyone gives me trouble at a light, I'll snap one of those off and jab it in their neck!9000white wrote:i think them mirrors came off a Viking ship.
They really are sharp as heck! I have a scar on my left thumb to prove it! All I did was reach for the left grip after waving at another biker and SLICE!
