Howie believe me he does. It is a problem that has no fix as of yet. What good does it do to come on here and rant and rave about a problem that has been around for 2 years?
We know the problem exsists. Now if you want to impress everyone here POST ABOUT THE FIX!!!!!! Hell I wish I could and beat everyone to it.
As far as no where to turn, I agree. The MOCO left you and a bunch of others hanging out to dry. What good does it do to air it here EVERYDAY??? You are good at organizeing events. Go find a lawyer to file a class action lawsuit and get everyone with a 110 involved. That might be the solution to the problem right now.
Get in the MOCO's pocket DEEP. Maybe the fix will be a new motor.
Be Safe
THE DAWG
Hehe, where ya been Mike. What do you think I've been posting about since Dec. THE FIX. The fix my way! Take 8500 bucks out of my pocket, FTF & FTW, and build your own engine. New cases, S&S crank, Timken conversion, everything available Feuling, Axtell barrels, CP pistons, and worked heads with no HD parts left in em! To me, that's the only fix.
I tried going this route after the 1st failure, only to be screwed by an HD dealer that didn't know how to assemble an engine properly. Nothing lost then but my time, since they were charging all the labor to w.....ty. So I then went to a real engine builder that I know personally and he built me an entire engine, from the ground up, using most of the parts we used on the first attempt.
So I now have a completely custom built 110 in my bike, fully paid for by me, so I don't have to bitch and whine about my bike breaking. 8500 bucks out of my pocket to get that privilege, with no help or satisfaction from the MoCo. And lawyers ain't my style. Riding my bike is. And it's gotta be strong and reliable. I knew what I had to do to get that, and that's what I did. Others aren't necessarily in that boat, or have the desire to do anything but rely on the Factory.
Am I happy spending 8500 bucks out of my pocket after spending 32 grand on the bike itself? F NO!!! But I did what I have to because I can't go thru the crap everyone else is now. Complaining about people complaining, is worse than hearing all the bitching about these 110's! So let em vent a little man! No skin off your nose. AXIL's either!!!
ADDED: And BTW Mike, don't you think that all this documentation here of everyone's issues will help them should they later decide to go the legal route? Nothing but good can come from everyone discussing and documenting these issues here!
Hoist!
