Yes, a good product but make sure you lube it before install, even though it’s new.

I believe they were supposed to help support the carbs at the boots but I’ve run either way and as long as the carbs are mounted...

Why did you replace them in the first place? Same issue?

Now that’s a matter of opinion. With these old bikes, who owns who….

It’s a one piece. I didn’t recut the seat, just lapped it in. At the time with everything closed down and limited resources that was my...

I also want to do some other things that weren’t done. New wheel bearings, some rubber bits replacements on the gauges and I ordered a...

Since the white stuff is flying it’s time to hunker down and take care of a few things I wanted to do to Patience. Missing the riding...

Better toughen up and grow some thick skin if you belong to the Harley Forum. When posting there if someone has a snarky remark I just...

I think that scenario was mentioned in post #6 above.👆🏼

I can see that my entry for this year doesn’t stand a chance but rightfully so with all the amazing entries. Thanks for the ones that...

I’ve got a set of Buckhorns I’ll send ya for postage…

I’ve gone to nylock nuts in a lot of those instances.
