Funny you should mention cams, coupe55...going to put a set in my Ultra...but that's for another thread...lol!

As for getting a Tri Glide, that may be in my future. Never can tell.

I guess "three's the charm". The '11s already have the better gearing and better (?) rear brakes. Just get rid of the cat headpipe and give it a stage 1 and I'll bet it's rideable!

We'll tear apart your TG real good.
OH sure now that you have a lift table y'all won't have to lay on the garage floor!

Wiz, house re-fi complete, cams soon

Got one right after you and I crawled on the floor with your pipes. It took me a week to recoup. What was that... over a year ago? Grab your cams and come on over... don't forget the inner cam bearings, adjustable pushrods and chain tension shoe. Will be good to see you again Stoney.

That goes double for you Brian. Tick-Tock.

Learned that lesson this past winter when doing cams in both mine and my dads Triglides, the knees didn't like it very much. Their much happier since my dad got the new lift.

I have refused to purchase a lift, because all my "buddies" will find out I have one and I will never get any peace-n-quite. I like to make them crawl about on the floor while I point-out what they need to do. I only bend over when they mess something up. I have a method to get mine off the floor when I need to work on it, but my buddies don't need to know that.

One of the advantages of being a shade tree mechanic is that nice carpet of moss under the ol Oak in the back yard!

Yea I get that cold concrete stiff joint problem too, mostly when it comes on to rain (or a hangover).
Was considering a lift table myself but probably the Harbor Freight version, I have seen one that a buddy has in person otherwise I wouldn't even consider it and it don't run $2,500.00 give or take either.
