Be sure to use the recomended weight oil if you did not order it with your Intiminators. If you are not sure, give Brian a call to verify. Stock Harley oil or anything heavier than recommended will not work as well.

well, 1 out of 2 isn't bad...

had some other stuff to do and didn't get started until after lunch, when i realized that i had to remove forks (unlike when i did this mod on my sporty) to do the intiminators, i decided to wait until i bought the repair manual...

so i just put the arlen ness 3" extended forwards on today, just wish it was warmer so i could go riding!
