LOL, I did catch that about the torque and I commented on it. He used to work with Blockhead before he closed his garage. Chris is a very cool dude, and great mechanic.

One of my bonehead moments- I replaced the fuel pump on an 03 Road King and couldn't get the bike to run after I was finished. Took me longer than I want to admit to figure out that when I pushed the fuel line back into the quick connect under the tank I didnt push it in until it "clicked" into place.
Once I gave the fuel line a push and got it seated the bike fired up and ran like new.
