Hi,
&nbsp\\;
Stumbled onto this site while looking for info on a reduced effort clutch kit. Nice surprise to finally find a Harley site that seems to have some good info. For years it appeared that most HD riders could not turn on a computer.
&nbsp\\;
I currently ride an 2001 Fatboy that has been midly modified with wires, custom rigid bags, Power Commander, V&amp\\;H Propipe and some other stuff. Have been riding for longer than I care to admit. First bike was a 1960 Harley Topper scooter. Besides the Fatboy, I've got a OIF Bonny, and a '47 one-owner knuck that I'm doing a rustoration on, my Suzuki SV650 roadracer that is being brought back to the street and 1-1/2 Yam 650 twins that are a streetracker work in progress with no end date in sight. I guess I'm what you call a multi-denominational rider.
&nbsp\\;
Hope to find some info as needed for my Fatboy so I don't have go down the trial an error path. Will share whatever I know or learn with the group.
&nbsp\\;
Rob
