    Thought I would give you all a update on my brothers Roadking. Finished up on it today and adjusted the throttle cables. The Roadking is running really great. No stumble, no coughing, plenty of power.
    He did come up with a price for it, 7,000.00 which is not a bad price.

    You won't believe what I did though. I probably shouldn't even post it here as JB will have a field day on me. :roflmao: First time I put the carb all back together the needle jet that is held in place by the main jet and emulsion tube had fallen out and I didn't realize it. So after installing it on the bike and started it, it was blowing really bad black smoke out the exhaust and would barley run. It's like of crap what did I forget. Well guess it feel out when I turned the carb upside down and hit the floor. Took the carb apart and was on my hands and knees looking for it (really got to clean the floor :rolleyes:). I found it and good thing as the HD shop didn't have one. So installed it and yes figured out which way it goes in. Got her all back together adjusted everything and runs really good. :)

    Called my brother and told him his Roadking is done and running really good. He said his wife won't let him ride it anymore, wow I told him you fall off a horse you got to get back on. :rolleyes: I think he just wants to sell it now. :(

    Hey there is plenty space here for everything.
    Different post for different things.

    Don't you have a phone, ever gone to a rally and had no place to charge the phone for a day or two.
    Don't you have a gun.
    Don't you ride with these.

    Walk around with it on. Try to meet some of the folks that go to em
    At the Lonestar Rally, I will be trying to meet a buddy so I can hook up with him and stay in his Toy Hauler and spend the nite.
    Gonna try to meet some other friends to drink a Redneck Budweiser with too.
    There will probaly be 500,000 folks there and its all day and I don't know what time past midnight they stop partying.
    Lots of people , lots of food and lots of beer.
    And Oh yea. Lots of really Wild Women.


    Almost forgot
    And bike builders.
