Yeah, lots of redneck pickup trucks around here with balls hanging from trailer hitches. Peoples with small brains and weenies.

lol, forgot those were back there when i took the pictures. silly x-mas gift from the gf that i figured would get stolen pretty quick. almost two months in and honestly they are a solid rear light and for some odd reason roadies really ****ing love them. once a week somebody in full kit chases me down just to yell "nice balls!" the lady in her ~40"s who threw in a sexy wink has been my favorite so far.

Had I known what I was in for, I would have saved up and bought something with higher quality parts.
