Default A Sharp Harley Tech
I am a retierd high performance GM Tech of 30 years and I have to tell you when I came home from work the last thing I wanted to deal with is someone calling me to help them with a car problem. As a friend I would try to help them the best I could . Any way There is a Harley Tech in this forum that deserves a big pat on the back He goes by the name of "Shovelhead Bob" I can't begin to tell you how hard it is for a tech to give advise with out actually having the bike infront of him. This forum is very lucky to have a guy like this ! After reading some of his replys it's pretty esay to see he knows what he is talking about . Today is his birthday . I should have asked him if it's ok to post this but I just wanted you all to know again how lucky this forum is to have a guy like this. "Happy birthday Bob"
