i switched from a metric to a harley and this kinda bugs me when you would go on a metric board and ask a question you would usually get several decent answers to help you fix your problem. But alot of times i read on here where someone asks a simple question and the smart**ses come out and say its in the manual. I have a manual for mine and i would be more than happy to give folks information. After all thats what this board is for to help people. Is it me or are the harley riders stuck up or something. I sure hope I dont get that way!!

Reason: added info
I just think that some are a little to sensitive about, "its in the manual"- is not offensive but rather someone looking out for someone...because without it you could end up like me (overtightening and popping threads off) before I got one.
