If I can convince the wife that I NEED the kit for Christmas, I'm gonna do it.

Thanks for the replies.

Yes, just the one wife.



















As far as I know, the dealer has just one kit on the closeout rack.

OK.

After sleeping on it, I have no idea why I wanted the big bore kit, other than it's a heckuva deal. I don't want more power. I also don't want to tear into (and void the warranty of) a brand-new, $17K bike with lots of payments left to go.

If anyone is interested, the kit is at Richmond Harley-Davidson on Brook Rd.

Then why not let them do labor(if you trust them) and not void warranty?

Um... NO! She actually wouldn't have minded. Bikes are the only hobby I have. I don't drink much (beer, on occasion), don't go out w/ the boys, etc. I'm either riding, at work, or at home with her and the daughter.

I've owned lots of bikes over the years, and she hasn't said boo about any of them (except for the Sporty I accidentally became the high bidder on eBay a few years ago)

Let's just say that I'd prefer to do the work myself, and leave it at that BIG WINK
