Why would anyone in their right mind want you involved in their serious wrenching?

You can`t even post an intelligent thought, all you do is post nonsensical babbling, mostly about yourself and your imaginary motorcycle.

Some how I keep these imaginary bikes going, without a dealer. Had my hands on more parts of Harley than many

After I get my first advance, I'll hire a editor.

Corbin seat for my former '22 Gold Wing. The seat was cool, but I never received one that wasn't damaged. Dealing with Corbin was a nightmare. Saddlemen is my go-to now.

There are a number of things I bought that I didn't like and ended up being removed. I really don't consider them a loss of money.. It more along the lines of paying for my education.

1. Variable pressure clutches. Had and AIM and BDL. Didn't like either.

2. Wild things WT26G cam, made less HP / TQ with the setup I had. W8 made 10 more. It did make exceptional mileage.

3. SnS 570G cam, While it made good numbers, It worked really crappy down low on a 07 96 ci motor and 103 motor.. Probably would have done better with more compression.. Compression fixes all problems..

4. Vibratech dyna motor mount.. Vibrated pretty bad at 2500.

5. Kinetic Structures Dyna Mount. Stock worked better on my build.

6. Early SnS TC cranks. 2 went out of true. One that was repaired later broke a rod.

7. Thunderheader on Dyna, LAF on a high compression motor. Made less than stock headpipes with CSs. Traded for ARIIIs that did the best on the build.

8. Sohot primary chain tensioner. Didn't work..

9. A recommendation to add insulation to the inside of a batwing fairing to improve sound quality. Worked OK but when washing the bike all the gauges fogged up..

On #9 I read people blocking fairing. My concern is not drying and corrosion. Like a building
