Solo seat?
My question is, I have a 2007 Sportster 1200 low. I have a new Viking trunk that I want to mount and be able to detach when I want too. However, My bike has a mustang solo seat. I need the mounting bracket to adjust enough to use the back rest as a driver rest. Harley makes such a bracket but It is pretty expensive. Any Suggestions ?

Voni and Ardys
I have had the pleasure of meeting both Voni and Ardys, both terrific ladies. I miss Ardys ...

You did a great job on you installation, need you help.
I had been serching for about three days for a 2 up tour rack with no luck. I was only able to find the solo detachable , witch met more exspensive changes. The mounting plate for the detachable sides you got, is just what I have been looking for. I have a 2008 1200C and I also want more storage. Can you give me the information to get the mounting rack. I wasn't sure if you are now selling them or if it was information on ebay . Thank you so much for sharing travels

two markers
I visited the Swaggerty Fort in about 2003 and I seem to remember both a Tennessee Historical Marker and a Heritage Marker at the site. I'd be interested in links to any historic events that might have involved the location, i.e.: Indian wars, Civil War battles, etc. I'd read somewhere that Indians once diverted the stream away from the fort suring a siege, but don't know if that's factual. I believe the Clear Creek area figured in some of the Chickamauga Cherokee history. I think I'm related to the Swaggerty family that built the fort as well as to Draggin' Canoe who led the Chickamauga Cherokee.

Great report
Great ride and report! I like the pics too.

Sgt Daniel Nidds USAV
I was wondering about the star pin that goes into the bracelet, my mother got a bracelet for SGT Daniel Nidds in 1967, it's the original bracelet that was given to her all those years ago. My question is how to get the star pin that goes into the bracelet now that he is believed to be dead and not MIA, anyone know how to get one so i can complete my moms bracelet?

Malcolm X Marker Inscription
El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz was born Malcolm Little at University Hospital in Omaha, Nebraska, May 19, 1925. He was the son of Earl and Louise Little, 3448 Pinkney Street. Reverend Little helped organize the Universal Negro Improvement Association. After threats by night riders, the family moved to Milwaukee and later to Michigan, where Reverend Little allegedly was murdered. During his mother's illness, Malcolm was sent to Boston, then to New York, where he committed burglary. While serving a six and one-half year prison sentence, he became self-educated and converted to an American sect of Islam. After leaving prison, Malcolm took the name Malcolm X, studied under Elijah Muhammad, and became outspoken abut mistreatment of Blacks. His Autobiography of Malcolm X was published in 1964. During a pilgrimage to Mecca, he converted to orthodox Islam. He abandoned concepts of racial antagonism and counseled the need for human brotherhood and international cooperation. Malcolm X formed the Organization of Afro-American Unity in 1964 and became renowned as an articulate spokesperson for human rights. Malcolm X was assassinated February 21, 1965, in New York City. His teaching lives on.
