Default A lot of new members asking questions

I don't mind giving input with any question, I'm just reminding our new members and old that the HDForum's search feature when used correctly will furnish quite a bit of info. Over the years the members in here have tore down and done complete rebuilds of their scoots, a worthy mention. A lot of other members have done quite a few mods and added accesories that are also a notable mention.

Patience, time, and imagination is what makes this forum work.

I think this thread needs to be moved to general discussion, as it has nothing to do with softails.

The older members have done quite a bit and spent countless hours and imagination and their end product something to die for. It would well worth the effort to look at some of them if for nothing else other than incentive.

Totally agree with you, Some of these topics like "has anyone ever put apes on........" YES EVERYONE HAS PUT APES ON EVERY DAMN MODEL EVER MADE

Most of the time I just pass right on by, but sometimes it's like "didn't we just have a thread on this two days ago" My favorites are the ones that ask you for help then argue with you about the help you do offer

For starters the Search function in this forum (and most online forums for that matter) sucks.
You're better off using Google and just adding "hdforums" to your search string.
You'll get far better results...
ie: "apes on a softail hdforums"

Thank you for posting this tip. I have been struggling to find topics using the search function.

Ken, as I posted earlier, go to the HDForum front page and enter what you're looking for there. *ie, I just did a search for apes on a softail deluxe, the results are the link below. It just takes time to figure out the forum search features.

Search works OK, if you use Advanced search. Search titles only. If you don't, you pretty much get every thread.
I think this would be a much better forum if people didn't cry, when told to use search. I always do a search before starting a thread. If the search sucks, at least I made an effort.
