      I'll spend a lot of time this winter going over my shop manuals, a lot of time just staring at the diagram of the big 16-valve engine.
      1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red

      2016 XL883L sigpic Two-tone blue and white. Almost 42 hp! Status: destroyed, now owned by the insurance company. The hole in my memory starts an hour before the accident and ends 24 hours after.

        So ALL Harley riders with loud exhausts are dirt bags...? News to me... and my Doctor who rides a loud exhaust HD- and his accountant .

        And many of my neighbors all living in pretty nice houses ..

        Living near Milwaukee I meet a lot of HD riders with loud exhausts....in fact MY GS has a louder than stock OEM exhaust ...

        Some like it that way...

          Except for those poor neighbors that have to hear it at 6:00am. Just makes bike riders hated that much more. I ride just about every day and HATE that some local kid has a very LOUD crotch rocket that screams past my house every morning at around 5:30am. Wakes me up, my wife up and the dogs up! How about some consideration for other that have to listen to your sound pollution.

          1998 Honda ST1100 (Daily long distance rider)
          1982 GS850GLZ (Daily rider when the weather is crap)

          Darn, with so many daily riders it's hard to decide which one to jump on next.;)

            Yes, all Harley riders with loud exhausts are dirtbags, but not all dirtbags have loud exhausts. Now, if they happen to be Doctors or accountants that makes them Dirtbag Wannabes.

            And...if i were to move to pretty nice house, I would still be a dirtbag, just one that lives in a pretty nice house.

              Pic for chef

              Just in front of the clutch.

              Bill, let me know if the pic is good enough for our purposes.

                No rush at all. If any motorcycle parts arrived at the house now, my loving brothers would string me up.

                      True that. But I don't begrudge a fellow human trying to put food on his family's table.

                      And you know what? Three different members have sent me FREE parts - no shipping, no nothing, FREE.

                      And a fourth member sent me a pair of sidecovers for shipping - $11! So I'm on the lookout for ways to pay it forward.

                        It's good to see that you're committed to healing the old girl.

                          I didn't give you that speedo to smash it up . I might have some fork tubes if yours are tweaked.

                            First my face, then the bike. I'll ride her a couple of years with the scraped up V&H, then I'll get her a brand new one.

                            I'll let you know - thanks.
