I took the honda plate that is on the side cover and put it in the back over the bottem three holes. I don't get the "Nice Harley" comment anymore.
You opened the door.
I don't have any badges on mine, except down on the crank cover, and I get that all the time too. I was thinking about responses too those questions and how to not offend the asker too much. Try this one.
"Hey, nice bike. Is that a Harley?"
"Harley? No.... Aren't they the company that makes Tshirts?"
