.......or Bullhead City! This was a cool spring, but overall glad we live in the high desert.

Been here a year and have not made Tucson yet. Looking forward to rolling your way. Probably in the Fall.

I'm worse. I've been here in Tucson for 14 years and never made it north of Scottsdale yet. Never seen the Grand Canyon or any of the other beautiful scenery up north.

I think that is a pretty easy mod.....a good confidence builder? I am geared up for changing my cams, have all the parts together and the manual marked with post-it notes.

My excuse is finding time, but there is a little bit of that do I really want do this in the back of my mind.

I just bought this DVD, just to learn something about the twin-cam motors: Harley Davidson Twin Cam Rebuild ($50)

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...ef=oss_product

I watched it last night - 2 hours. It's by Charlie Lawlor of Short Block Charlies in Tempe, AZ. It may help you.

If you want a sneak peek go to this site: http://www.motopowervideo.com/Harley.html

Then click on the link "See a sample video!". This will download a WMV file that you can view. This is a low-res sample. The DVD is crystal clear.
