No, didn't make it. It started the day after I had to leave. I was pretty bummed. I have a 69 SS396 Camaro, so I'd obviously love to have been there.

I changed the stabilizer fluid last night. Easy job. I think it too me all of twenty minutes start to finish. I went with 20w fork oil. It felt like it made a difference, but the jury is still out. I might go up to 40 or 50w for the oil. I had the 20 in my garage and with all the disagreements...

I put a new BT021 front tire on and it still did it. I've been riding bikes for 30 years so I'm used to the tractor trailers if you ever actually do get used to it... It's not only when I'm going by one it's only more pronounced then. I finally got a chance to swap out the new tire which is on...

I like your thinking... 12k on a front is kind pushing it isn't it.

Just got back from the Motor City. 800 miles each way on my bone stock busa other than V&H S4 Titanium pipes. What a trip. Not the easiest ride I've made... I had to put a new tire on while I was out there. I went with a BT021. On the way back the bike felt funny up around 90. It was as if...

Nice job. I was thinking about doing the exact same thing, but I haven't had the time to engineer/buy the parts yet. Now I don't need to. Yours is perfect. Thanks.

If you can't ship it with oil, I'm sure they're making you take the battery out too right? I wouldn't leave it in there anyhow. Just in case it leaks for any reason. Heat, cold whatever.

Started on an 82 Iron Head XLH, had an 82 Shovelhead FXRS and finally a 93 FXLR. All taken down to the frame and built up from there. It's a PITA having the "can't leave it stock addiction."

I was thinking new/used tank. With it being that new and popular a bike, I'm sure the tanks are out there. It will save you a lot of hassle and come out exactly how you want it. I bet the price isn't as far off as you'd think either. You can sell your old one too. I'm sure there are plenty of...

Those kind of guys are on crack! I paid $10 each at autozone w/o the "Devil Tail." I could give them to a metal fab shop and have them re-chrome them at the same time for heck of a lot less. I don't usually run them, but they really look good and sound even better. Way too loud to run on the...

Good points... You're right. Sorry about that.

You can always remove it and check. Roll it on a known flat surface or use a straight edge. Don't mean to be the spelling police, but I figured I'd let you know you spelled expense wrong in your quote...

I can totaly appreciate buying quality equipment and tools etc. Maybe I got lucky with what I bought. Who knows. I did see quite a few out there that looked cheap.

A couple of reasons come to mind. 1. It doesn't leave the forks compressed 2. It will take up less space in a garage or shed.

My stands are very stable. No worries there. The last thing I need is to replace a mirror, panel, can and brake/clutch levers just because the bike fell over...
