Harley needs to set up the cubes to match the competition, but I wonder if thats possible being it's an air-cooled motor
Better brakes w/abs
Better factory seat
an extra gear in the trans

But you got to wonder if Harley did make most of the suggestions standard equipment, what would it do to their over the counter parts sales. I think they know what their are doing[:@]

Exactly!

BTW, I second or third or whatever that cam drive thing. Can't believe HD let that ride so long.

Hmmm... Put Willie G out to pasture. He's run out of "ideas"... oh wait.. he's been stealing them from actual customizers for over 20 years.

Hire people with some actual brains.

Get rid of all the @sshole dealers in the system.

Thats one part to replace a whole bunch of moving parts, I was thinkin that also
, but got interupted, Gear drive for twinn cam, its available for chevy small blocks, one problem though is the sound it makes, sort of like a supercharger winding noise but muffled. There has got to be a better way then a chain.

How about a shaft in place of Primary belt?
and, final drive, boy I can here you howling already,

Sorry, best intentions are my calling in life.

More power straight off the floor. You can get major increases with a few mods, so this should be standard. Up grade the brakes also, like to V-rods.
