does anyone have info on h-d rentals & touring italy thanks BUTCH

I have an 04 Fatboy with 3500 miles. I run Amsoil 20/50 in the crank and primary, and 75w 90 gear lube in Tranny. All were last changed in April of 05, ran for about 1500 miles and then the bike was "semi-stored" for the winter. What I mean by that, is it was fired up and ran at a fast idle for about 20 minutes twice during the winter. The question is......I plan on changing the crank oil and filter and replacing it with 20w 50 Amsoil. Is it advisable to change the primary and tranny since they only have 1500 miles on the lube but have been in the bike for a year. I know dino oils break down after a while but wasn't sure about the syns. I dont have a problem changing them all, I just wasn't sure if it was neceassry to do that each year with the primary and tranny when I only put...

During the winter I purchased a 2003 road-king w/ a stage 1 upgrade with a Hooker exhaust. I have a problem with poping when I back off the gas. Both on the hwy & while coasting to a stop. It's not a true loud backfire, but a loud enough pop where it could be heard from the car following me on the highway....my dealer checked it out, stated that the computer read "nothing wrong"...may just have to live with it...I find this hard to believe...anyone with a suggestion or solution?

1997 flht 88000 kms engine total rebuild still have very bad vibration at 1000 to 2300 rpm even when not in gear. could it be steering head bearings ? or any thing anyone has had before ????

I have an 'O5 Road King. I installed Vance & Hines true duals and went with the Stage 1 download from the dealer. Then I purchased a Vance & Hines Fuel Pak to increase performance. Now the engine misses and I'm not happy with the performance. Would like to hear from anybody that has installed Power Commander or has had the H-D race tuner program installed. I'm trying to decide which way to go.
