Bummer on being laid up like that, need a hand call all I'm doing is dicking around with the frankenbike I picked up cleaning the abuse for resale come spring. Running to the city Sat. to look a hoard of shovels, another geezer like us.

Hey Twisted, sounds like you need a Vacation. Why don't you come down to Phoenix for a rest, I have a 75 FLH you can look at.

Twisted, actually I was just funning Ya. Looks like yer staying fairly busy, I was just joking that you might need a vacation and that you could come down and watch me work on my scooter.

By the way thanks for the info on gearing for my FLH, it gets pretty buzzy much past 65 mph.

Want add an extra to the gearing change, throw an 25 tooth comp in at the same time. In fact do that before the rest and see what you think before going forward, you’ll feel the difference in vibration and it’s a direct swap, no new pri. chain needed.
