You are more of a mechanic than a lot of us. I would never dare undertake some of the things that you have.

No, not a mechanic, just asking is all. I haven't touched the bike other than gas. Heck, I have only ridden it once and that was last week, It "seemed" to be "missing or stuttering (see, no mechanic here)" and I asked for opinions.
However, I am not thrilled with the response from my HD dealer. Especially since the salesman that delivered it said, "it was missing" on his ride over.

dude, perhaps you can buy a carbon fiber huffy. that way you can ride it to work wearing spandex shorts

Just kidding, I went on my bike and rode it to work (1.1 mile) and I was freakin sweating like a pirate hooker at an Asian gang-bang.

I cannot believe how hot it is today.

This is Florida - odds are, if you are riding you are sweating or getting rained on, either way you arrive wet...
