Oh by the way the MOCO dont give a damn about us either, if you havent figured that out by now shame on you. The MOCO is there to make money and lots of it, period. Just my opinion others may disagree and I respect your right to do so........................BG
Exactly!

BTW, next time you are at the stealer back go back to service and look around at the signs. There are many that address after market pipes that once installed and started, you are on your own.

Wink, wink if you know what I mean.

According to the HD rep, all the new ones will have cat. converters on them. Sounds like they like the EPA better than there customers.
If you live in an area where the smog test you want get your tags unless the converter is on. Oh by the way the HD rep told me the ones with converters sound just as good. Go figure.

Is the crackdown and distancing of the MOCO from us going to dissuade any of you from riding, and/or riding Harley?

And where the heck are they going to put a radiator on my sporty frame? They won't make the sporty go away will they?
