yeh but you was trying to groom them

I haven't really noticed any reduction in torque...the catalytic converter is still on the bike...actually with the auxiliary air intake and the ecu flash think it increases both numbers...torque and hp... Has for the rest of your Harley brainwashed brain...who is carrying the 1 plate in the bagger racing league ?...lol.

Your a good man Saul , I kinda know what its like I sorta adopted 2 myself...and treated them like my own flesh and blood...wasn't always easy..

Looks cultured, sophisticated and pricey………probably not something appreciated on here

If it had been recovered by @Six30, we could call you Van Diesaul.

Oh dear, I thought you could do better than that. My Mrs was calling me DiseaseSaul for a couple of days.

We will have to change your handle to Diesaul.

Remember this post when I was all chuffed with myself for sorting the bike out. It's been long enough now and I have got over what happened on the first run out after the service. Shadow was still off the road so we went up to Damerells for her favourite Sausage sandwich then for a bimble about for 60 miles or so. Ran like a dream but when the fuel light came on I dropped in the garage and filled it up. About a mile later the it conked out. WTF. Anyway turns out I filled it up with diesel. Bloody self inflicted disaster. Only about 3 miles from home so I got the Mrs to collect Shadow and called the AA. I talked to the dispatcher and explained what happened. He said I was in luck as they now offer a refuelling service where they drain the tank and put 10 litres of E10 in. I was interested but not at the £190 they charge for doing it. So I said no thanks and asked to be recovered home. The dispatcher said fine but there maybe a charge for that if the Patrol man has to go and get a trailer to put the bike on. I said there better not be as I already pay for my bikes to be covered. Patrol man turns up after an hour, which I thought was pretty good, and surprisingly he was already equipped with one of those fold out transformer type bike trailers. A fiddle to put together but clever bit of kit. He was a biker, good as gold and offered to drain the tank for me gratis if I signed a disclaimer form. He checked with his control who said he wasn't allowed to do that anymore. Of course not money grabbing B'stards. So he dropped me home and advised me to syphon out the trank, drain the float bowls and let it smoke out with some fresh fuel. Which I did. His off the book advice was that the worse that was going to happen was the carbs/fuel system would have a bit of a flush type passive clean through. Very helpful guy. So now a few weeks later and a fresh tank of fuel and it's running lovely so all ended well. I'm over the embarrassment and annoyance at my stupidity now, enough so to tell you lot about it. Of course my mates haven't mentioned it at every opportunity since. Also still a bit pissed off with the AA's upselling stance when you call them. I pay £20 a month for their service to cover me and the Mrs, bikes included. I expected better. And yes it's the first time I have ever done that

You will have reduced your torque with those. Let’s face it, you have bought an American version of a Goldwing from a company known for making snow mobiles who take their motorcycle stying queues from Harley Davidson and bought a brand name of a long dead and failed manufacturer. There is nothing wrong with that, I’m sure they are very capable bikes, just a bit soulless like real Goldwings.

Not anymore...with those Tabs 4.5 inch ovals...

So what's and English fellow like yourself doing living in France...

Sounds like a Goldwing.

Say what you want ...it's still great machine...ive left a few of my close friends on Harleys test ride it...they are simply blown away on how well it rides, suspension, power for a stock bike..Harley has nothing comparable for the same price...it just turned over to 30 k , other than a battery replacement...its been trouble free...

Living in France has had a strange affect on me

Old Beach tool box looks like it done a turn. Good box in their day.

I think it will severely decrease your chances at TOTY, when you lose yourself to strawberry ice cream and flounce again.

Sounds like a Honda, made by Polaris, rebranded Victory, made from left over snow mobile parts and a load of Chinese stuff.

Personally, I don’t know about the Golden Gate but it will definitely improve your chances of entering the pink ring. I do hope that is helpful.

Buckster do you think this will decrease my chances of entering the golden gate ?

I'm having second thoughts...don't know if I'm doing the right thing going to meet that bird for a few days...it all started innocently enough...figure a coffee or super..catch up on things...but she's insisting I stay at her place for a few days now....what would you do...if you were in my position..single and all..

The powerplus is 100 % indian motorcycle product...nothing to do with polaris or Victory...sure polaris ownes the shares...that's about it... And your answer is yes ohc with hydrolic lash lifters...4 valves per cylinders...I've run Harleys before...you always had this valves train noise at certain rpm...annoying has fuck...this engine is slicky smooth...qwiet...its really a peach of and engine...

Is the Polaris OHC?

He's alright, just besotted with Shadow. Working and treats her right, all I could ask for at their age.

I did my own on my KTM's , time consuming yes but rewarding nonetheless.
