I am planning to buy either a Road King Standard or a Fat Boy. I am leaning toward the Fat Boy because I am not really ready for a Lincoln but a Viper! I believe I will have much more fun on the Fat Boy. There will be two of us sometimes, but not all the time. In the long run, is comfort really more important? My thought is that I can always stop and stretch and have a "cold one"! Am I thinking right?

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.

How much and where do I add transmission fluid???

-btw ..... called and found out how to drain oil can - don't think I correctly used the drain hose - made a big mess and accidently tossed 1/4 pipe plug for tranmission fluid off the end of my 1/4 allen....

what an IDIOT!

A customer had called a asked about a recall he had heard of. I did a little research and came up with this site. These are samples od H-D related recalls. Pretty neat site not biased just the actual recalls.
