Getting back to you now...we ride in ALL weather, like the snow we are getting today. Its hard to put on the 10k miles we average a year just waiting on sunny days.

BTW: You sure do find a lot of posting time, considering how you "claim" to be always riding. Hmmm...... You are riding in the snow today, yet you are posting too.
Do you have a laptop duck-taped to your gas tank?????
Cool idea!

The hydraulic tensioner is a great idea but the ATF leaves me wondering. There are at least a dozen different ATF formulations from the different auto manufactures. Each fluid has different additives designed to be compatible with the manufactures wet clutch and drive train requirements. Harley engineers did not desgn there clutches to run on ATF so you are taking a chance of clutch material failure, Not a big one but still a chance. Hope this helps .

Personally I like the clunking it keeps me awake. Now the &*#$&^@ noisy lifters is another story they drive me as crazy as my wife does. Does anyone use the toe shifter only and if so has anyone had any foot problems. I've been developing an occasional tendinitis in the left foot. I took my heal shifter off 2 bikes ago, never cared for them now I'm wondering if I should put them back. Don't know it it's connected to the shifter or just old age

Now I know why someone said to read this thread, very entertaining. And I thought the oil wars were entertaining. Nope, this tops them too.
I need to get me one of those mobile phones like deadhead, hate having to sit at my desk to get my entertainment from here.
