    Well, the dealer did a complete check of the charging system, and here is what they found. Ignition switch on, bike not running, 7amp draw. Turn on PIAA's, it is 15 amps.

    Ladies comfort boots

    I have had the Harley boots for a few years, and they are not really comfortable for walking, they are very stiff. And since they are not reinforced in the left toe area, the leather is very scuffed and the toe box is collapsing from shifting. Not sure about the Milwaukee's.
