Bike is in the dealer with both rads stripped down trying to find the issues...

Yup, I was gonna get a new M8 but I think I'll wait until they get that radiator cap issue under control.

Local dealer pictured on FB a new M8 Roadglide Special they built for a customer along with the dyno sheet yesterday putting out 129 ft lb and 121 hp. Wondering it they are honoring the warranty on that thing after building it?

I suppose if they used all HD parts. Mine did 112hp and 107 tq with a light tune. I was quite insulted when the MoCo was asking me if it was installed correctly ! Was done at the dealership for that exact reason. [img]webkit-fake-url://796e3e36-7deb-4955-8ab2-9addae87bfbe/imagejpeg[/img]
