No something far harder. The hearts of Harley Davidson Dealers.
This doesn't last forever, so do it while you can. Nothing travels faster than the speed of time.

It's the Harley way. If it breaks, make it bigger. If making it bigger makes it stick out, chrome plate it.
Pat- 2007 DL650A was ridden to all 48 contiguous states. 2012 DL650A outlasted me.
Nicknames I use to lessen typing, Vee = 2002-2012 (K2-L2) DL1000s. Veek=2014+ (L4+) DL1000s. Wee = 2004-2011 (K4-L1) DL650s. Glee = 2012+ (L2+) DL650s

It's not my line but I've heard it from too many people to credit anyone. There was once a popular T-shirt that said "Harley repair kit" over a picture of a hand grenade. Clothing and image are apparently so important to Harley, the only shirt pics I could find were co-opted for the opposite message.
