I have an "04 Sportster 1200 Custom (awesome bike, by the way). I would like a slightly more authoritative exhaust note, and a few more horse power is always welcome (although the bike doesn't need any!). The local H-D dealer is recommending SE air filter to increase breathing and SE slip on mufflers. They say this combo yields a much improved exhaust tone and 3-5 additional horse power. Anyone have any experience with this set up on this bike? Anyone have recommendations for any other set ups?

Just bought a 2000 FLT Softail and needed to change the oil. While, impatiently waiting on a HD backordered service manual for 2-3 weeks. While guessing which plug was for oil - got the transmission fluid.

what an IDIOT!

I would love to test one of these!

Met SK up at Harrah's for some lunch on Friday. The attendance was markedly down on Friday from any year I have ever been. Saturday was more crowded but still not as many people as in years past IMHO. As far as the vendors it was just the SOS. I guess after so many trips to Laughlin I am about toasted on it. The riding in the area sucks compared to about anywhere else. You can only do Oatman, Moon Valley, Route 66, Lake Havasu only so many times before you get bored to tears.

Security at the event was big time this year. To get into any of the rooms at Harrahs you needed wrist bands. Guests had to pay $20.00 to get a wrist band to a room you rented! No colors, weapons or attitudes allowed. In other words, you must comply with their interpretation of colors. Watched a HOG member get...
