Default Harley design engineers?

these guys are sick,twisted,demented,and devious poeple.Who ever designed the flange bolts for intake manifold should be in Hollywood.Even Steven King aint this twisted.
I just finished carb rebuild and intake gaskets etc.....
I now know why Harley dealers labor price is so high,it's not for the skill,knowledge or tools these guys have it's for the MEDS they must be on to do this everyday and not go "postal" on someone.
Anyway finished now bike runs great just had to vent.........

Ever try to replace an air filter in an '04 Mustang?

Biggest reason I ever saw for going postal!
