Interesting looking part. Can't figure out how anyone would order one however.

$499 - yeah - I can wait until if n'when mine fails. By then Harley might actually solve the problem. $250 and I'd bite.

Just ride the darn thing. If you lug it around it will make noise.

I think a lot of people are lugging the engine and they don't know...Like around 2000 rpm, i don'r care what anybody says... Da ain't no power down there...might sound good but it ain't no good for the motor.
