The barbecue is not consistent sorry to say but there pork butt is. The sauce is fantastic!

Anytime I am in the area I am sure to drop in. Absolutely phenomenal stuff!

Where to put gas cap when refueling.
Whether to use lead weighted get-back-whip or unweighted.
What after market parts void warranty which ones don't.
😃

All in all, I've learned a lot, people will help when they can, but do a search first. And I've been entertained by some of the threads, either intentionally or otherwise.

I couldn't agree more. This website is one of the greatest things I've found since I started riding. Last week I put the following on my 2005 Wide Glide:


6 inch risers
grips
clutch cable
throttle cable
idle cable


I, of course, had to pull the gas tank to get some wiring slack for the risers.


At each step of the way I ran into some complication. All I had to do was type my issue into the search box on this website and, sure enough, there was some other guy who had the identical problem and 20 responses from people who knew how to fix it. All in all the whole thing went smoothly but I couldn't have done it without this site and the smart people who visit here.
