LOL, the rotor/stator fix was easy....but now that mine is re-cased with the 07 trans & inner primary cases, I think I'll keep it.

the destroyer's front tire is not ment for street conditions... they will come apart farely quickly... the back tire would not help with handling and the ***** bars maybe a pain as well... you would have to moddify it if planned on getting back to the garage after a ride around the block...

I can understand the frustration with the issues, I was actually speaking more about the choices we had back then.

I remember that one of the Softails...Not a Fatboy, had a nice "swoosh" tank graphic that flowed well with the bike. I rarely see them anymore.

I really like the Sportster R 1200 in Orange/Black... think I'd like to add one of those to the garage

thats the "flst" it was my fav. softail, only one made like that for a year. when i was looking for a used carb.bike i found one, but it was beat to **** and looked like nobody had ever washed it. so i passed on it and bought my evo instead.
