Guess I'm kinda spoiled, there is Iron Pony, Jeggs, 5 Harley dealers, and several large independents all within 45 minutes of me. I still mail order a **** ton of crap though. I'm still running Harley filters on mine though, read an article in American Iron about oil filter construction and have never had the nerve to use anything else even though there are a couple of Amsoil ones out in the garage. I'm a stickler for OEM though, whenever possible the heavy equipment I'm responsible for will get an OEM filter, unless I've researched a better aftermarket option. I've installed the K&N on other peoples bikes and they have never had any issues.

just ordered a couple.. still killing myself over what bars to get. sat on a Lo at harley that had 16 inch bars with a 3 1\2 inch risers. so i got a good feel for the size i want. going to do 16's with 1 or 2 inch risers. but still looking at which brand. my last bike had road6 customs which we ok, but i want that forward convexed kinf. like the evil apes from carlini. also like todd's cycle stripper bars, but can't see if that have that same curve to them.ugh!

i've always been told that the 103 is'nt much different than the 96 as far as power is concerned. I beg to differ. Maybe it's because of the height difference from the SG i used to ride to my new FB Lo or the seating position, but my Lo really seems to get up and go a lot faster than the SG

got home from work today and took my bike for an hour scoot. i have to say that i have loved a few of my bikes iv'e had, but damn this is one comfortable smooth riding bike. i can finally see myself doing lots of long trips on this bike without the worry of real fatigue. the last couple bikes have killed my hips and back on long trips over 300 miles. But the more i ride my Lo, the more i can see what i have been missing out on for a long time. Although i do believe things happen when they're supposed to, this one has been a long time coming!
