Default It takes time

It took some time for me to learn the process correctly. I am confident now that I can pull the adjusting pushrods down and re-install them correctly. Did I purchase the adjustable pushrods before my ability to install and adjust them correctly existed? YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But I learned a great deal about the evo in the process. I suffered some but comparatively speaking my knowledge came cheap when compared to the stealerships prices for repairs and upgrades. Please do not stop the collective assistance to people who want to learn. I appreciate all of the assistance and the mocking. from this forum. In three years I have acquired the ability to properly maintain and upgrade my Harley on a shoestring budget.

On a forum like this, where we have no way of assessing the competence of the end user, we should really not be promoting their use as you have to have your **** together to fit them.

I shall not mention them again....


now where would be the fun in that. there's new ppl on here all the time they need to here both sides because most of them don't know how to search old threads. like this one :P
