Default Hello From Georgia

About me and my bike.

Hmmmmm, My ambision is to be a full time bum.

My bike; I have a 1995 Badboy with custom paint. One of the reasons I joined the site is to see if I could find the answer to a problem. Yes, I said it. My Harley needs a littleattention.

The bike is basically a stock 80 inch Evo but has an S&S shorty "E" on a Rivera runner with shorty headers and a hi-4 ignition single fire ignition system. The problem is that I have a chronic rear plug foul. It's only the rear plug. The front plug will be fine but the rear plug will foul in just 20 miles or so. I was thinking of getting bigger saddle bags so I could hold more plugs to go on longer trips but, that doesn't realy fix the problem.

So, here I am. Hopeing and preying to the Harley Gods I will find my answer here. Of coarse the local shops all say, "Oh yeah, bring it in. I'll have a look at it." Though they never seem to be specific about what the problem may or may not be.

I'm sure there's some wisdom out there. Please help if you can.
