Talking Thanks to all on this forum!

Well I am almost done installing my Wild One 14" Apes by myself. It is about 2 AM here in Germany and I am getting ready to call it a night. But first I wanted to thank all of you! Everytime I have a question, big or small, I jump on here and do a search and believe it or not, it has been answered before... Thanks!

This is the first time I have attempted a project like this on my own, between my service manual and this forum I have been able to get through every obstacle so far. I would like to make recommendation to all members of the forum! With Wi-Fi in the shop and fridge full of Bitburger (read: your favorite beer) you can accomplish almost anything you need to on your bike...and you don't need to pay labor $$!!!

Thanks Again!
JR

That's pretty cool when you think about it. Halfway around the world and getting help from bikers you don't even know. When else could we do such a thing? Love the forum and all the help it gives. Give us some Germany pictures from your next ride.

Glad to hear you project is a sucess! As you get more experience you'll find you can pretty much do most of the work on your own for your bike. Just make sure you have the right tool for the job. This is the biggest key here.
