Still have a shock leak, the dealer will fix that next week along with temp guage, replace chrome piece that's missing (maybe someone stole it). I've been riding Harleys since '77, had a '75 Sporty and a '75 Super Glide. Believe me, I know that if it has **** or tires, it's gonna give you trouble! :-) I just had to bitch a little...you know, one of those days. I teach high school kids, so it's that time of year that they really get on your nerves. Ride safe everyone. Jr.
Glad things are moving in the right direction...

Always remember if it's got two legs or two moving parts its going to give you trouble.

Seriously I have been in the air conditioning business for over 25 years. I have installed units and never had a minutes worth of trouble, and some that I have installed I thought I was going to be on the customers permanent Christmas card list. It happens.

Hey Jr, sometimes having a beer gives you a whole new look on things.
Glad things are working out.
