I am posting this with Paul's permission to let you know all know that Paul had a terrible accident at his shop today.

From what his wife Kathy told me, Paul was working on a customer's car for some carb work. While the engine was running, a blade from the fan broke off and lodged itself into Paul's pectoral muscle. Also from what Kathy said is that the blade was 3" deep and missed his Carotid Artery by only 2". He lost a lot of blood but 50th he guys at the shop were able to get enough pressure on it to slow the bleeding enough until the ambulance arrived. He was taken to the trauma center, treated and is now home but obviously in a lot of pain.

Kathy called me at about 9:30 p.m. to let me know what happened. Please send out PRAYERS for Paul and his family that he makes a full and...

I have a 2003 HD Deuce. Just purchased the V&H staggered short shot pipes, V&H VO2 air intake, and a Fuel Pak. I was wondering what kind of power gain I should expect when installed?

Hey Guys I've got 2014 Ultra. (Non liquid cooled). Living here in Floreeda, Seems like I go into the 1 cyllender mode every time I stop at a light. My 09 SG would do it occasionally on a real hot day in traffic. Anybody else experience the same sittuation? 'think something wrong may be causing this. Does the 103 run hotter than the 96???

I have a 117 with 10:8 compression. What could be causes of light pinging and tingling noises when rolling along at 75 mph in 6th gear and slowly roll the throttle and the noises are present only between 78 to 86 mph. No noises above 86 or below 78 mph. I stopped and added some gumout octane booster to the 91 octane gas but the exact noises continued to occure at the exact same speeds.,,, Any thoughts?

A buddy and I took a leisure ride along Long Islands North Shore today to Oyster Bay. Visited Billy Joel's "20th Century Cycles". It must be nice to have a cash drain shop with many collectable bikes for the public to view for free. Nortons, Triumphs, Vincents, BMWs, Moto Guzzis, Harleys and Native Americans! (just trying to be politically correct!)and some Japanese bikes too. Beautiful lady there running the place today. model material. Sorry no photos, phone wasnt charged overnight some dummy forgot to plug it in.
