I am wondering if any of you have had experiance with a center stand on something bigger like an Electra Glide? I like the thought of it but not sure. I have found 1-2 places on line that sell them but they are running around $300 without shipping........ Sorry CD.....Direct Parts doesn't have anything like this....already checked!! Does anyone know where I can find something like this for less then 300? How did you like it? any problems? Any input appricitated!! I would need someone that can/will ship as I am AF stationed in Germany NO UPS....) Thanks!

I recently installed SE’s 6-speed gear set. I find that gears 1-5 are much longer than stock. Yet, Harley advertises them the same as stock. Is Harley not correct, or is it possible that something went wrong during the install?

Thank you in advance.

Hi, Has anybody tried to adapt a Harley Davidson Nostalgic Face combination speedo/tacho for '04 later models to an earlier model using the retrofit adapter kit p/n 74668-03. According to Harley the combination speedo/tacho made for models to 03 can be adapted using the retrofit kit but not the '04 models. Does anyone know what changed on the '04 model Road Kings and Softails to affect this or is it possible to adapt it with the extra kit. If anyone out there has tried could they please let me know.

Baffles - I've heard some people say to remove them, and others to leave them in. What are the pros and cons of both? By the way, I hear the word back pressure mentioned, but don't know what that really does for the engine and performance.

2 into 1 pipes/"power chamber" - Does the whole 2 into 1 concept actually make a...

Well CD, I finally got around to putting the new V&H ovals on that I ordered from you and holly $%^& my wife comes out right away and says those are loud. Had Super Trapps on before. I told her yea, now you can hear me coming. I love em, they sound really great. Still raining and can't wait to get them on the road to hear what they sound like at different speeds and Rpm's while under a load. So do I need to get a new remap done. Mine is the 03 Ultra with fuel injection stage 2 and a Race Tuner installed. The power commander just would not work with the set up (95 kit, 211 cams and the Supper Trapps) as it would throw engine codes all of the time and the bike would start to run like crap. Disconnect it and the bike would run lean but still ran OK. Race Tuner works good, no...
