To the point that it's kept me up at night. I've got a package being delivered today. It's a mock up of something, that if it will work, will make quite a change to my PA. Fingers crossed!

I consider the Pan Am to be the best sport touring bike that HD has ever made. For me, the suspension and the motor is superior to what the new Low Rider ST will be. Although it may not look as cool to the traditionalists, and I definitely love the new low rider, the performance of this bike is exactly what checks the boxes for me. All I wanted to do was tweak the thing for the type of riding I enjoy. A lot of comments over the "interwebs" clearly show that many have forgotten that most people personalize their Harley's for themselves. I've seen better, and I've seen a lot worse. We all know that HD will eventually produce a fully faired bike with the Revolution engine.....I just don't have the patience to wait for it.

An air cooled, pushrod motor. That will make a real change.

I got the package. I'm disappointed. Going to have to talk to them on Monday.

Not anything that can't be overcome. Just a little re-engineering.
