So, do not know HOW true this is.... could be just an urban legend....could be cleaverly written to disquise the fact that it is an Anti-software pirating ad....or could be full truth. I don't have time to research it, but thought it was interesting to read. Hope you enjoy it!!! Interesting » The Farewell Dossier

Howdy,
Anyone have any experience with the rear bearing and race in the inner primary going south? My SuperGlide is having them replaced now, (under warranty) I suddenly heard a noise that wasn't supposed to be there and pinned it down to the primary and took it to the stealership. They confirmed it and that was the problem so they are fixing it.
Has anyone else ever had that problem? I have run aluminum primaries since back in the 60's and never had one go bad. Usually IF you replaced it it was just because you had everything else new and figured why not? My 86 Evo had 123K on it when I sold it and still had the same bearing. And the 66 shovel I got a few years ago had the one that came in it in 66. Is this a fluke or something new they "improved"?

Just wanted to add a poll on the armrests. These are adjustable for height and can be removed for storage in less than a minute.

Just wanted to get everones opinion on these. The only bikes that have an armrest are the touring bikes, nothing out there for the softails. So in an effort to keep the wife happy and comfortable on long trips, I tightened up a few loose screws upstairs and here's what I came up with. Did the design and fab myself. I have been issued a patent pending from the US patent office, and I am at the point of finding someone to manufacture them for sale. Thought I would do a little market survey to see if there is an interest out there. hope the pictures came through.

Was doing a bit of carb 42Mik tuning on my motor & started the bike without the carb backing plate and noticed a fair amount of flow/air coming out the head breathers. Never had run the bike without the carb backing plate before so question how much flow should one expect out the head breathers...normal or not?

TIA,
