    Thanks 1988, I know ray he owns the furniture store, but I didn't think that he worked on bikes.:banghead: I was talking to a sam carter I got is name for a guy in corner br.sam works at harleys, he also told me about derick dawe,but I fogot his first name.I was talking to sam on friday before I went in to cb. he told me to drop in to where he works and he come out and see how the bike is acting.Went I got there I ask was sam in I wanted to see him. The owner said he was busy and never let me talk to him first or last.The owner told me to make a appointment,and I told him to go f himself :angry: and walked out.I don't have sam's phone # and I don't see it in the book.I'll probally give dirick a call. Thanks Carl
