Glad to be of help.

[Billy]

Mine should show up today. I got it from Zanottis for under $200. They also press in the baring before shipping it. I probably wion't have an opinion on it til spring, as the motor's coming apart and getting completely rebuilt starting next week I've only heard good things about this. I probably won't install it til then.

Hoist!

I knew you would come around   I think you will be impressed with the Jap engineering. It feels like the bike is more powerful and all together     Billy

Well, it's still a far cry from a FD Billy. But from the rave reviews, it's worth a shot!

Hoist!

Plus, it'd also fit on a GoldWing or BMW if it comes down to that.

I know, that statement was just wrong.

H/B
A Goldwing or BMW will break down when someone abuses the chit out of it.
Then the Honda or BMW factory will be chastised for building "CRAP".
The service people at the dealerships will be compared to idiots because they didn't jump when asked to jump.
H/B what you said may not be nice but it isn't wrong.
Some people can tear up an anvil.
That's OK, but do we really need all the pissin and moaning when the problem really isn't the machine.

What we all forget is that no one forced anyone to buy a Harley.
Some people just look for an excuse to rant and rave.
I would be ashamed to spend the adult money I have spent and then proclaim to the world I spent it on "CRAP".
And maybe only speaking for myself, I have to say I'm damn proud to own them and to ride them.
There are some with an opinion that HD is "CRAP" but in my garage there is no "CRAP".
If there was I would get rid of it!

I swear, if this much negativity was all this site was about, I'd quit, leave and never look back. Reminds me of some grade school kids. I learned a long time ago, if I didn't like someone, I just walked off.

Me to H/B!
On one hand we have so much fun on our bikes then on the other hand some can't say enough bad about them.
We had such a great time in M/V that I can't say enough good about my Harley!

 

As I said earlier, I'm proud to own a Harley!

I had the IDS installed yesterday and SERT installed.  Yup, jumped on the bandwagon.  After all, they did give me a new motor.

The IDS makes the SERK feel a great deal smother, no primary noise, feels better at low RPMs near the lug zone.  It was worth the money and the elbow grease promo installed it for free basically.  Thank guys for posting that.
I wanted to let the dealer sell me some stuff after all the negative crap getting the bike fixed.
The SERT tune feels good for stage 1 mods.  No big numbers.
I'll be asking for some assistance with looking at the map file with the RaceTuner S/W from you experienced guys.  New post tomorrow.

Glad it's working in a way you can tell a difference.

Not sure why Harley hasn't done this years ago. The Jap bikes did, but at least Harley got on the program.

Great report on a new product.

Negativity.  what negativity?  har!  spyder

You of all people don't have to ask. You know what I'm thinking already! har! LOL

The thing I like most about Harleys is that they have "old school" looks, character and sound but with totally new engineering. Imagine having a '57 'Vette that was completely reliable, got good gas mileage and had powerful brakes. Oh, and you could buy it brand new at a relatively affordable price. I'd sign up for that.

This is my third Harley, so I sure as hell don't have the experience of some of the owners here, but I've always believed that Harley fully delivers on its promise, way better than the Suzukis, Yamahas and BMWs that I've owned. Just my opinion...

PS: I don't know what the cush drive does, but as a package, it sure is smoother than the '05 Ultra I just sold. And my wife thinks so too.

JAWS!!!

You got it!

QUINT: You brought some right fine equipment, Mr Hooper. What do you call that?

HOOPER: That's an anti shark cage.

QUINT: Anti shark cage. You go in the cage. Cage goes in the water. Shark's in the water. Farewell and adieu to you sweet Spanish ladies, farewell and adieu to you ladies of Spain...



Definitely in my Top 10 list. Along with Dr Strangelove, Miller's Crossing, Unforgiven, Schindler's List, North by Northwest, The Professional, Reservoir Dogs, Jeremiah Johnson, and Marathon Man. But that list could change on any given day.  To include The Departed, Perfect Storm, Scarface, etc etc
