For those of you not old enough to have been around, "Dragonman" would be the last person on earth I would send anything to., to be worked on...Be forwarned.. I cant believe anyone would even associate a name even an DBA, with that association

and people welding on cases, is truly an art, it is far too easy to "pull or draw " a set of case so far out that all the bore alignment in the world wont help.

Most people that do not know HD too well think it is the beginner's bike. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harley-Davidson_KR
That was not their original intent .
look at the "K" model; or the KRTT.
They are the Sportscar of the HD line!
Thre "other bike" is the big old Cadillacs that got "chopped ".

Ive never had any work done by Dragonman but Ive heard a few horror stories concerning his work. I would not send work his way. I have a couple of his old VHS tapes on engine rebuild procedure, not worth a damn for rebuilding engines but he is entertaining though.
