Maybe instead of complaining they should either add/post something positive to help or simply don't read longer posts when they see they contain more details & info they can handle or want to read that makes them complain like little old men that have nothing better to do but bitch about nothing!/LOL!!

Oh well,you can't satisfy everyone & lord knows i am not doing this trying to satisfy anyone,i do it just to get the info out to fellow HD riders that may be interested in checking out another take on it.

Happy Motoring.

Scott, some folks don't know rip about their rides...obviously, you do, and I take note when you write. It increases my own knowledge bank, and since I like to write too, I know how long it takes to process and put down the words...so I appreciate what you do here...don't worry about these cretins!!!

Anything over 22/2300 rpm"s your mileage starts to decrease. And that's a fact Jack.
