etc.

these are basics and a competent shop should be able to sort out.





or...really true story.

A Guy at work complained that his evo Road King would not keep up with his Pal's who had other brand bikes.
He'd had the bike 4 years and had about 2500 miles on it- no mechanical aptitude.
I offered to mod his carb & do a screaming eagle intake and tune it.

So he brings the bike over, I have prepared all the stuff and within an hour am done and test ride.

I come back and he asks how it was and I say " it runs great- pulled quickly up to 90 MPH and then I went into 5th to 115 and she was still going"

He looked at me and said "Fifth ??"

he didn't know he had a 5 speed bike.
