Not sure about my junk...but after reading all this I sure am happy that I have my Andrews 21 cams and a carbed bike.

Worst money spent would have to be HD detachable back rest. Nothing wrong with it. But once the wife rode with a tour pak it never went back on the bike.

HD Digital Temp and dipstick. Lasted not even six months. Thought maybe I needed to replace the battery. Took it apart and all the wires came unattached.
