I don't buy very many items without at least reading something on it.

With all thats available on the net and as many articles and mags that there are on Harleys out there, its no ones fault other than their own (Laziness) that anyone is surprised with a Harleys performance...

[quote=Da Gumpmeister;6047028]EVERYONE should be required to 'learn' on a 68 Ironhead.

Hey Gumby, that 68 ironhead was my third bike and I was in tall cotton cause it was an XCH (electric start). Never even complained about the brakes, or lack of, cause I just wanted it to go.

BTW how far are you from Mora?

Tinkering on bikes is fun for some my 77 sporty and 84 shovel needed tweaks here and there,adjusting pushrods,carb adjustments, replacing chains belts bendix gears batteries to name just a few things to do.Now with the twincams they basically dont need much tweaking they run and start like a charm. technology is a good thing

Well I can't believe how long it took me to change out so Softail shocks. I mean geez ... 3 hrs for replacing the shocks and changing the trans fluid.

I guess I shouldn't bitch though. I could have gotten a bill for paying someone else to do it.

I have to admit when I first bought my first harley, the sportster,it was the image thing, being seen on a harley, but after riding it, it all changed, I am absolutly in love with my new 2010 fatboy lo, the sporty was cool, but doesn't compare the fatboy, as for price,its worth every penny!!!!

For the OP:

Most of them are squid trolls. They have nothing else in life and never ever get laid due to severe deformities from endless crashes trying to pull off wheelies and stoppies. That along with the fact that they are such douchebags no woman would want to be seen with them. Ignore them, or give them some ****.

anything mechanical will wear and eventually break or need repair.You have high heat,high torque, big wear. Harley is a great product and I will stand behind them any time.
