Default Well, now I truly have a Harley garage...

It's out there right now, "marking it's spot".....

Front rocker box gasket is toast. Only got 20,500 out of it.

Nah, I mean my '93 883 has a leaking front rocker box gasket. I cleaned it up with brakleen, I'll take pics after my next ride and it's all leaky again.

If I get a second bike it'll be a muscle....and that's not happening until May 2012 at the earliest....

you got 20,500? you got 2x more then me. Whatever you do don't take it to the shop, they'll rob you blind. Its a $20 fix and any where you take it they'll want anywhere between $150 and $300.

I've read the manual, and see that I have to take the top of the rocker cover off after taking the tank off, then unbold the rocker from the cylinder......I've seen having the engine in a certain position to accomplish this.....is that accurate?
