A Baker N1 shift drum solves all the problems of trying to find neutral...

Think I'll save myself the $400.00 for the kit that fits my DD6, and just make sure the clutch is adjusted properly.

Cheers!

It wasn't an extra when I put in my OD 6 You can either choose a standard shift pattern or the N1.. No extra charge...

I installed the DD6 back in 2018, though. I doubt they would send me the N1 Shift Drum kit for free.

Cheers!

I had new tires put on in the spring. Just found out that the front one was mounted in the wrong direction. So I brought it back to the shop for them to put it on the right way.

Judging by the scenario of that shop, it doesn't surprise me at all , good that you noticed because in the rain that is certainly not optimal.

Yeah, the bike shops around here are far from plenty. The nearest H-D dealership said that they wouldn't work on my bike, so my options were limited. Thankfully it's been pretty dry riding this year, so I never "tested" out my tires in the rain (yet lol).

After 55,000 miles on the Heritage it was time.
New voltage regulator, did the stator too.

Broke dick regulator was throwing a bit too much power at the system.

Cycle Electric components installed 🙌

A huge thing happened today... 3 years ago (almost to the day) I had changed jobs and needed a relaible and comfortable car, so my Harley was sold. Well today, with the help of a couple of friends and a large van, I bought Henretta Harley back home. She needs lots of TLC and a HUGE clean, but I'm just so happy!
