Hi All.
My name is John from Benson, NC. Like everybody else, I hate the intro part. Let's see ...
I'm 45 & been riding for about 6 yrs now. I finally quit smoking after 25 years of trying & so to reward myself, I bought a bike. I started off with a Honda VT750 Aero and after riding it for 2 years I stepped up to the 96 Wide Glide. As the 3rd owner, I'm finding out that this isn't just any ordinary Wide Glide. I've been able to find out that the engine has been 'juiced' up a bit.
The 1st owner had alot of Screamin' Eagle parts added; SE Performance Heads, 211 Cam, Pro 42mm Carb, Race Ignition, 1550 Converstion Kit & 1550 HC Forged Pistons.
I'm not going to pretend that I know what all this means I do, so I'll ask the question: "Can somebody help me out with some info?"
