Count on it TwiZted, but I doubt that will be the case. I'm just a hack who has wrenched in my own garage for a couple of decades. I learn a lot from graybeards who've done this stuff all their lives (hell, now I'm one of THEM), but seems like everyone struggles with this one. Some get lucky, but most don't...

Sorry for the hijack on the thread guys...

Worse I've ever seen was a guy on an old panhead hardtail , the pipes ran along the frame up to the bitch bar , up the side of the bitch bar to almost 6 foot off the ground with flapper's on top and he was determined to get an S&S B to run with them . Almost went to hands with guy in the parking lot at the shop I was with at the time when I told him it wouldn't fly and we wouldn't take the job he got so pissed . Found out later he had been through every shop in a 100 mile radius getting the same answer and few took his money first .
