Hey, booter from texas here. To be honest i joined to help me trouble shoot my ride and learn some tips and tricks. Im a professional industrial mechanic, plus 5 years of fixing flying death machines for the Corps, but when it comes to internal combustion stuff, im better off performing amature neurosurgery.

Everyone around me drives big baggers and soft tails, so they are just as confused as i am when they look at my 04 1200c sportster. So until i find out where to start on here, ill be pokin around through the different threads. Thanks to all.

Semper Fi booter. You need to lurk in the right forum for your model. This is not the place. Tons of great folks and very knowledgeable here so I'm sure you'll get what you need.
