In WWII from Dec 1 1941 to Dec 31 1946 16.1 million men and women served.

Over 292,000 gave their full measure.

Over 671,000 wounded in action.

In the 2000 census, WWII vets reported were 5.7 million. More than half were dead and by the time we got around to building a memorial, it was more like two thirds were gone.

Everyday, 1,500-2,000 WWII Vets die. That's each and every day of the week.

If this song and these images don't make you a little misty eyed and a whole
lot proud, I have no idea what would.

They call then them greatest generation...

My 1980 Fx with both kick and electric start is givin me fits, I have installed a new starter shaft because the ole one was broke, a new soleniod, new relay, all new wiring, fresh new battery and the starter still drags when trying to use it, the motor is just an 80 incher, I am thinking that my starter is not grounded good enough, I do have good ground at the relay. Its to cold out to mess with it right now but I am thinking that I should hook a meter at the starter to see how much voltage is getting to it but if anyone has any ideas please feel free to toss em in .

Thank Ya

Can anyone give me some advice on which gaskets are the best to replace existing gaskets with: cork or rubber. I have a 1986 FLHTC that has an oil leak coming from both the front and rear rocker covers and will be replacing the gaskets soon. I ride mostly in a desert and very hot climate so I want the gaskets to last as long as possible. Any help or suggestions are welcome. Thanks

I have the 04 Electra Glide Standard and found on another site how to wire in a $5 alarm to make it scream if tampered with (saves $75 over the HD allarm!).....but they were talking about the factory alarm on a soft tail or similar..... I have, as of yet, been unsuccessful in finding the plug for the E glide....not only that, but I don't think I have the rear splash guard (or if I do, VERY much less accessable, and it doesn't look like there is anything behind it anyway from what I can see....). Anyone have any good ideas?? Thanks!

Also, I found a pair of VERY interesting plugs under the seat.....looks like they COULD be connected, but are not...and both have written on them "Deutsch" (which means German)....anybody with a clue as to what THOSE are for??!!

I have a 06' Fboy and love it, but feel the stock handle bars are too far foward and down for my comfort. Does anybody here know what type of pullback risers would work with my stock Fboy bars that would keep all stock cables, wires, and would have no clearance issues on turning radius? Thanks in advance.
