Just flipped to this section and noticed the current threads here.  With only a few exceptions it's still all (different) 110 issues.  More than a year in to production. 

Please don't take this wrongly. I feel for each and every one of you.  But I am so glad I don't have one of thise engines in either of my bikes.

With modern standards it's almost unbelievable.  It's certainly inexcusable.  Sorry guys....

Don I have to agree with you. It has gotten so bad on this board it is now getting boring to say the least. The threads are all the same. 110 porblems.

Man my 103 looks better and better everyday.

Be Safe

THE DAWG

[Hoist!]

Well, we're dealing with these POS engines. We had to endure your assualt on bad Paint Jobs. Deal with our misery like we dealt with yours!

Hoist!

[SBB]

Dawg, did you have paint problems?
Don't remember that!
Which bike?
This getting older is rough.
Seems to affect my memory.
But that's all!

Don that's one way of looking at it. I have no choice now but to look at it another way.

Yes, I'll spend a few bucks, but, I'll end up with a more reliable, stronger better engine when I'm finished. How many people end up spending $2,000 & up on their stock HD engine anyhow? I'd guess a fair number of people do. If you love the bike and plan to keep it, you do what you have to do. If I had it to do over again, I'd still buy this bike.

I don't disagree, it's pitiful HD puts us in this position. It is what it is. to fight them would take way more effort than I'd ever be willing to put into it.

Not an assault at all Howie.  Feel terrible for everyone dealing with these.  It's just rotten y'all have to do it.  And it's crazy both that Harley didn't have their act together to begin with or that after this much time they still don't.

Couldn't agree more Ken.  Just keep on keeping on.  Make it what you need to.  And keep right on riding.

The one's that worry me most are cases like a buddy of mine whose not on the site here.  He scrimped and scraped and saved and had a pretty good row with his wife to get his Ultra instead of a lesser expensive standard model she thought they could afford.  It was a big deal in the family.  If his motor crapped out not only couldn't they afford to just make it right she'd be all over him for the "bad choice."  Damn things....

Totally agree there. The guy who spent his last cent just to purchase the bike.......Maybe shoulda bought a Jap bike.

[ultrafxr]

The moco world is kind of like politics - the lesser of evils.  Had a 103 and liked it fine, but had the cam chain tensioner problems and not as much grunt as I'd like.  My 110 with just D&Ds, RYO and sert dyno tune is unbelievably strong.  So spend the bucks to get the 103 like you want it or fix the 110.  Mox nix.

I dread that day... "I told you not to buy that bike"

Hey Don - Instead of posting that here, should we e-mail that screen shot to H-D customer service?  Of course the reply would be, "You can't believe everything you read on the internet."

What I've heard from them is you can't believe "anything" on you read on the internet, lol.

That's true Travis.  None of y'all are actually real here.  This whole place is a figment of my addled imagination.  In fact I'll show up at York next week and be all alone except for The Voices and my imaginary friends all their imaginary 110s.

The sad part is, you might be right.  You may end up being there alone next week.  What with all the 110's being in the shop.

I apologize, that wasn't funny.

I've already seen that day in my house. It's not as bad as you'd think if you keep humble and just agree. JD has already caught on to "Yes Dear" and it insults her anymore. I started "hanging my head" a couple of years ago, and she's caught on to that too. Now-a-days I'm having to offer her in writing, "I was wrong". In 2009, I'm thinking I'll have to have it notorized. By 2010, I'm hoping she makes a mistake, and that'd buy me a couple of years.
