* * * PRICE REDUCED * * *

This may just be the one you've been looking for . . .

This is an awesome, absolutely perfect original owner Harley-Davidson Dyna Low Rider with Fuel Injection. Bike has been given loving care and is well accessorized.

Never in an accident or on the ground. No cosmetic dents, scratches, rust, corrosion of any sort.

Mechanically perfect - factory scheduled 1,000 mile service was just done including upgrade to synthetic oil. Next scheduled maintenance is not until 5,000 miles. Bike...

Since I am laid up and worthless, I had Ol' Red dropped off at a Reno shop to get some new pipes (V-H Pro 2-1), a dyno run/rejet and gear drive for the cam, replacing the auto-tensioned chain (which I understand is better than the untensioned, but still a risk not worth taking if I make a run to AK).

So the question is: should I get a slightly hotter cam? I run the stock 88 and though I've toyed with more displacement I like the reliability and mileage of the current setup. I used to blast down highways at 140mph on other bikes, but that was then and now I enjoy the cruising more than the ridiculous speeds...rarely break 100 anymore. If I could improve highway performance without significant loss of MPG, that would be great. Can I?

What especially do you fellow bagger riders...

Black with 5200 miles. Stage 1 upgrade with Vance and HInes "Bigshot" staggered exhaust. Has HD original equipment detacable windshield and sissy bar. If it's to loud for you <grin>, it also comes with the original exhaust. This bike also has a carburetor (last of it's breed thanks to the EPA), which I think makes it easier and less expensive to maintain. Garage kept, never in rain, Amsoil syn in all 3 holes. Bought a new Heritage and the wife says either the Fatboy goes or I do. Retails in Kelly Blue Book for $15,600. Asking $14,500. If interested, send me a private message. I live in Fairfax Virginia which is a suburb of Washington D.C.

This past week, I attended the HST member rally in Tennessee. Saturdays ride culminated in the running of the dragon...which for me, didn't go so well.

I had left the deals gap store ahead of everyone in my group because I wanted to be able to run faster without getting bottled up behind some of the slower riders. My success charging through twisty back roads all week had given me a bit of overconfidence that would prove to have consequences.

I was about eight miles into the eleven mile stretch and had probably ground my way through over 200 of the 318 curves by that point. I entered a decreasing radius right hand turn a little too fast and was using engine braking to scrub off some speed while I had her leaned over hard. My line wasn't holding and there was an oncoming group of...
