I went out this afternoon to ride, started up my 2004 XL only to find that I have a dead cylinder. I pulled the plugs and both were fouled pretty bad. Any reason why? I don't really drive a lot with the choke.

i am changing my stock header pipes to the true dual , will i make more heat on my back head or what do you thank

I have a pair of low profile rear touring shocks. We were working on the rear of the bike and took the shocks off and laid them down not realising the oil was escaping from them. Can anybody tell me exactly what I do i.e. which type of oil to do I use to replace the existing oil, what amount do I put in each of them and how do I go about it. I guess you replace the oil through the hole it escaped from which is the same hole the air filler cable goes into. Any help would be much appreciated. These are an inch lower than standard touring air shocks. Thanks Paul

I have an '04 Heritage w/ EFI and am looking to add a Stage 1 air filter upgrade kit. Any suggestions, Screaming Eagle, Ness Big Sucker, another? Currently running stock pipes w/o baffles. I plan to upgrade to V&H Big Shots in the future but wanted to add the air kit and get the chip flashed at the upcoming 1000 mile service. Many thanks.

Wow, CD you guys do really have good deals on parts, very impressed. Just ordered a set of Vance and Hines slip on's for my 03 Ultra from you guys. Was at the Harley dealer earlier today and they wanted 100.00 more for them. Thanks for the savings I will be back for more.
