When you should be educating yourself.. It's obvious huw much that's lacking in you. Old man that acts like a 3 year old because someone is enjoying thier new toy. Lol you actually spelled out your bikes, hp, torque.

I may be old, but I have people to ride with, can spell, take my tanks off, adjust shocks, and wash motorcycles and do many other things without asking for any advice. I posted HP/TQ because you posted how powerful your new shitbob is. The first few braggart posts you made I could deal with, but you went on and on and on. But hey, you're getting your post count up.


PS: If you can find someone to help you with grammar and spelling, that would be a good start.

I thought you were trading it for a Road king, Street Glide, or something?

No, I sat on the RK, it's to heavy, she's beautiful but the FB is just eight if not a little to small.



Bill I love your passion, you actually looked through my post. You really have nothing better to do? You're sad. I'm just going to ignore your dumb ***. Theres so much more to life than this forum, I'm sure one day you'll figure that out. Now I'm going to go ride my bike that's Soooooo much better than yours. And apparently everyone else's..

You may not be able to add speakers easily to the new bikes, unless you buy one with them already equipped. Harley really stifled the amount of customization you can do on the new bikes, and shot themselves in the foot. Oh, well...live and learn, I guess. Have fun with your new bike, get off your *** and put some miles on it.

Where are you planning on putting speakers? Handlebar mounted ones? There doesn't look to be a lot of places to mount them, but I'm sure it can be done. A tank removal is usually just unplugging the gas line and taking 2 bolts and nuts off. If the gas line goes from one side of the tank to the other like on softails then you would need to cut it or get the clamp off one side.
