I am now an official Grandpa for the first time. My daughter had a 9 pound 11 OZ boy, Russell Gibson Dennis on Christmas Eve. Couldn't get a better Christmas gift than that. In a few years I'm sure he will want to fill that vacant back seat on the Ultra.

I need to get 6" longer brake lines for my 04, 1200 R. Its got duel brakes in front and for reasons only known to harley ,the master banjo bolt is 14mm. I've tried after market and through the dealer but nobody has been able to come up with a solution. Switching the master at the handle bars leads into switching the controls and a expense I don't want. Any ideas?

We here at DP wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

I recently purchused A new 2006 FLSTFI (FUEL INJECTED FATBOY)I noticed the exhaust is pretty quiet.How can I get the loud Harley sound without dumping Alot of money in it?

I did a search but came up basically empty handed. I am brand new to the HD bikes, and the one I bought, needs the fluids changed. Looking in the owner's manual, they recommend Harley oil this, Harley oil that. I can't believe there aren't equivalent oils or even better oils to use in all the necessary places. The book says to use a diesel oil if the HD oil isn't available, but to change back to HD oil as soon as you can.

What's everyone doing with the different areas, i.e. engine, primary, trans etc? I think I read the primary and trans share the same oil on the Sportster, but might be wrong.

Thanks
