I'd love to, that and the breather, but living on a pittance of a fixed income forbids it, unfortunately.

I firmly believe if it wasn't for S&S the moco would have been done around 1998. S&S is King when it comes to all things Harley. Aside from an occasional SU carb I'd venture to say 90% of every shovel on the road had an S&S carb.
