I have heard that Phil's traveling requirements are pretty simple: Dunkin' donuts and Strabucks coffee.

Make sure you take lots of pics and post them here.

PhilM- are you willing to travel?? I will be ordering my kit soon [124] lets put two great minds together.. Whattiya say? ever seen the Nations capital?
As a matter o'fact... no, I haven't. [sm=confused06.gif]

Houston is just down the hwy. I can be there in a couple hrs. No biggie....

DC... Ummm that's a bit more than "down the road a piece". But... ya just never know!

I'm hoping to get my stuff back & start putting my 120 back together soon too.

The 1st of this year. I watched my buildertake my 07 wide glide 96cuand tore the top end down. Put 95" pistons on it. bored jugs. PP heads. stronger spring in the oil pump. Did 37 andrews cams and put a TM with A/T on it and did heat cycles and I broke it in.. Done traded that Hot Rod in on a Old Mans Cadillac for me and the old lady to have a longer more comfortable ride. Don't think I will git any more from watchin the build seeing as that's probaly what they will be doing.

Everything go well on this install John? Did the IAC tune in easy? Got the stop screw secured in place?

Rod ~ whadaya think of the DTT? Can you tell a difference yet? Keep those docs at arms length until you are totally comfortable with the unit and the tuing process.
