Went on a nice cruise today as well. Bunch of bikes out on the road and the temps were fantastic in the mountains. In town, a different story. When I rolled into my garage my PV showed my engine temp at 317*, oil temp was 275*. As much as I hate to give my money to LJs I just may do it.
I ordered another breather bolt, chrome spacer and o-ring set for my Wimmer Spike. Seems I didn't use enough loctite on it and lost the front one sometime during the shake in ride for my fairing on Monday (this was obviously operator error and NOT a product issue).
Sent an email yesterday asking about cost and availability and received a response today from Ryan Wimmer. I'm paying the priority mail costs but because the ac is so new, Ryan stepped up and is not charging me for the parts (even though I bought it through J&P). I've always loved the Wimmer Spike, but now I have to say that the people at the company are every bit as awesome as their products.
This is quick shout out to a really stand up guy. Thanks Ryan. Will be ordering another type of Wimmer for the kid's 08 XL1200 Custom now and will be buying it direct.
Edit to add: 2 hours and 59 minutes after I ordered it and I just received the USPS Priority shipping confirmation email. Holy crap!
