Default Custom break downs

If it isn't one thing it's another. First the oil leak then the bad vibration( broken motor mount bolt), get them fixed then the compensating net backs off and now the gas tank starts leaking. This thing is worse than a boat ( you know big hole in the water you keep throwing your money in )..LOL But it looks cool setting in the garage... just wanted to rant, I feel better now.

The bad thing is that it runs so strong I couldn't get rid of it. so I guess I'll just shut up and deal with it ...LOL

Correct

Ive gone through the whole bike, its pretty stable now (knock on wood) but ive been through the ringer to get it to this point.

The 107" ultra is pretty quick, but the 117" bourget makes it feel slow and puts one hell of a grin on my face

OH and I forgot the wire that shorted out from the key switch to the relay. went to a buddy's house to show him the bike and when I left I made it about 20 feet from his house and it quite, atleast I wasn't out in the middle of no where. Fixed it and drove it home so I guess it could have been worse. I've only own this bike for a couple of months. hopfully I'll have all the bugs worked out for next summer... I lovingly call this bike THE BASTARD CHILD.... LOL

I was pointing out the misspelling in your sig, but maybe you like it that way.
LOL
