I am currently building a CCI Goliath kit bike. The chrome rear shocks(adjustable) that came with the kit are a CCI no name brand with out
any specs. Has anyone had any experience with this shocks? Would it be worth the extra cash to upgrade to a better (known) shock such as the Progressive 413 series?

I have a 73 FXE and the brake light has not been working. One of the three circuit breakers under the seat keeps kicking in and out. I have not been able to find a problem so I replaced all three of the 15 amp breakers, seeing as they are all 31 years old. Now I have no power at all. I am told there is a 40 amp breaker somewhere. Does anybody know where that would be located? Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

I have a titan 01' with a 107 s&s. the last couple of days after about 30 min. of riding it bogs down like it is starved for gas. when I get on the gas it will clear up and run fine but as soon as i got out of the gas it bogs back down. I have changed the spark plugs. I also found a bolt missing in the manifold. put new one in. same problem. but it runs fine when i first get start riding. another thing my front pipe is discolored and not my back one??????

I ride a 2000 FLHTC-I. On a recent trip I noticed that the low fuel light would come on even though I would have a full tank. Sometimes it flickers when the engine is revved too. Does anyone here have any ideas on what it might be? I know something is either loose or needs replacing but where do I start?
Hec,

I have a '01 Lowrider which I totally enjoy. The problem is trying to find a floor jack that will fit under the bike. This Craftsman floor jack that I bought won't get under the frame ... it sits too low to the ground in order to get under it. I also had a bike lift from Sams Club but I had the same problem. I've pushed the wheels up on 2 x 10's for more height, but mid point pegs, oil pan guard, and the engine itself (which sits below the frame a bit) is in the way. I know The Company sells frame protectors that allow you to work around said items, but I still can't get the jack to clear the obsticles involved. Any suggestions ?? (other than getting a Road King ! )
Thanks, Tony
