So my questions are the following.
Slumping - reading a post here and there this seems to happen to upgraded 117 engines. Is that correct? Is there official news if this happens on standard 107 and 114 units (bikes new from the dealer).
Migration - the initial news on this forum was that this is happening on hydraulic clutch fitted touring chassis models. Is there any confirmation on this, and new Softails with cable cutch avid of this problem.

Thanks in advance for your replies.

I would challenge you to identify one thread that I "lectured" anyone to do any particular action.

When the topic is octane I post what I use and what mods I made to successfully use it. There is no suggestion that anyone try what I do.

When the topic is heat the same thing what I do to minimize heat.

When the thread asks about any family i.e. Sportsters I post about Sportsters.

When the topic is winter riding, miles riden. places ridden to that is the topic of my post.

You seem to have forgot that you in your belligerent, obnoxious and delusional toned post claimed that I owned NO motorcycles resulted in me showing the folks on this thread that I indeed have a collection. In the world of bike collectors I am small potatoes. 20 miles from me is a collector who in one setting purchased 200 antique and classic bikes at three Las Vegas auctions last year. None of my bikes are historically significant. The oldest a 89 FXRS, 97 Softail Springer and a 2000 Deuce show bikes.

You have not achieved a level of maturity to understand that your words reflect back on you more than what you think you are denigrating someone else.

I have many friends in many walks of life. And at 75 have lost many of them. However for the first time I will mention the fact that many on this forum know me and have received needed parts from me that would be in the 4 digits in value. One example: A Street Bob owner in England posted that his wife wanted to ride and he was able to get a two up seat but did not have the funds for what the passenger pegs have cost. He wanted to know if anyone had used ones to sell. I had a take off set from a Fat Bob. I told him that I would send them gratis and only asked that he pay that forward if and when the opportunity came. Then one additional request. I asked that he send me a picture of him and his wife on the bike smiling. I could go on for many paragraphs from seats, foot pegs, tires to a motorcycle hitch and trailer. All with simply a request to pay it forward.

The bikes in my collection as small as it is are left in my will to St. Jude's.

So you see Greg you really do not know but a tiny fraction of who I am.

You seem to get very angry with me and post ridiculous statements. Have you considered professional help?
