Sure. Harley is all about improving the little things for it's customers. It probably 10 cents cheaper. Maybe dumber labor on assembly line

This thread and its sister thread (which is now locked) has benefited me in knowledge concerning the assembly of the front and rear rim internal and external components' orientation to the valve stem. I am appreciative for that.

I do not do my own wrenching on my bike, but if the circumstances should require it, I am much more aware of what is involved. And I am now much better equipped to check my indie's work.

Technical manuals are not riveting bedside reading but can be interesting while delving into a subject of disagreement and differing opinions.

.
Hole point of this thread was to tell people to check. I knew I would take grief for trusting in dealer. Never thought people would think dealer would do no wrong.

I was here to laugh at my mistake. Also never dreamed we would be debating which side to air up from. So I learned a lot this week, about people.

The reason he started the thread was not to inform or help anyone, that is not why he is on this forum.

He is here because he wants to cause arguments and turn the forum into a **** show.

I am just trying to help, and can laugh at myself. What was to argue about in this thread?
