    Good information???

    I almost bought an FLH 70 before I bought my Sportster. The guy was a little more attached to it than what he said he was, he turned down a really fair offer on it. Now I am looking at buying a 63 DuoGlide.

    TC's are pretty easy, once you get the pidder patter down
    the new rocker boxes are split at an angle making it easier to
    remove them, top gasket is an O-ring type so it won't move
    around and have to be held in place...

    New HD lower rocker gasket is a coated metal, won't flop
    all over, and if you get oil on it it's not ruined

    Seals up very well too...
