Hey all. I've got a small issue.

Twice now in 2 years I've had to replace the brain box on the frame and the ignition trigger on my Iron Head sporty. I've been told there's a SE part that replaces the ignition trigger that will eliminate the need for the brain box on the frame.

Does anyone have any thoughts or experiance with the part, good or bad?

Will the tin from an '07 FLHR fit an '04?

so i am wanting to replace my pipes, on my 01 sporty. the problem is i can not find anything i really like. i cant stand that staggered look. i found a set of vance & hines sideshots, that i really like but the are for 04 -06, and i really like these pipes alot, what is the differance?? is there a way to make them work??

This I DO NOT UNDERSTAND. A liquid cooled engine will far outlast an air cooled engine. Am I way off base making that statement? I realize that Harley had Porshe design the V-twin that powers the V-Rod but thats it. Why does Harley stick with the...
