Don't take this the wrong way bro, but I'm sure a big percentage of back yard mechanics don't know how to use a dial indicator, let alone own one. T's doing the right thing by having his local shop do some of the work for him.

Yeah I'd be lost on that one I'm more of learn by watching and even then don't have the right tools for that...but I got bike back and they figured out accelerator pump was bad and he fixed that but did not replace jets he is under impression since it had slip on already was probably already rejetted well I think it still needs it bike is running better but need to find good Harley mechanic this guys mostly works on victory motorcycles they have another mechanic but guy was out of town. Parts guy said he would get me number of good mechanic we will see I guess. Enough ranting I can ride it like it is for now no more missing just lots of popping on decel. Well I guess I'm ranting but this is problem with living in small town no Indy shops. And even though I like Harley bikes I'm not a fan of the Hd dealerships I feel like they charge way too much for my income bracket.
