i have a 47 knuckle/shovel. the motor has been recently rebuilt,by who i don't know. when it gets hot it begins to seize up. one guy told me that the rings are'nt gapped right. can rings that are'nt done right exspand enough to stop the motor? it runs great until it gets up to high temp. and then slowly starts to seize up. i let it cool off alittle and it starts right up again. is this something that will break in? i have very' very little ride time (10 mi.) please help a dude out. give me your input. ratshotshilo@cox.net

Hi buds,
Finally made the move to the Heavy Duty Progressive 412's. I'm tired of bottoming out with the OL on the bike. According to the Service Manual, installation seems simple enough - do one side at a time, unbolt the old and install the new. Do I have to put a jack under something to raise the bike or is everything going to line up??

So I went out and bought the stage 1 kit for my EFI 03 heritage ( mufflers, air cleaner, dealership down load) what is in the stage 2 kit does anybody have a answer

Just bought a 2005 Softail Deluxe have not taken delivery yet. I need some advice on the best exhaust system for it. I don't want it to loud and I don't want straight pipes. I like the look of the stock setup, should I just replace the mufflers? I would appreciate any and all advice.

Hello all, could anyone tell me how long the enricher needs to be on for a cold start. About 59-60 degrees. Thanks in advance, John
