Road King Console burning backrest.....yup from the sun
« on: September 24, 2007, 08:38:35 AM »
I talked to a guy who showed me that the new center console on his 07 Road King Classic will reflect the sun on the passemger's backrest and actually melt a hole in it.  He confirmed that his and several others of these were replaced by the dealer.

I'm sorry for laughing here.  Just had this picture in my head of some poor guy going down the road and suddenly flapping at his shirt because the dash got his tshirt and chest hair instead :huepfenlol2: .

 :ROFLOL:

Reminds me of when we were kids and used to burn ants with little magnifying glasses in the sun! ;D

This sounds a little far-fetched on the bike, but anything is possible I guess! :nixweiss:
