Monday is technical day!
I have a quandary in that I'm convinced my new "stock" Road Toad performs better than my Stage 1 Road King, which was also 50# lighter.
The King might have had a poor tune (HD Stage 1 download), but I'm wondering if venting the crankcase gasses to the atmosphere like some of you have done is beneficial to a point of maintaining good performance over time?
There were only 13.5K miles on the RK but I rode hard, and the standard case vents were in place, recirculating through the throttle body.
Piston carbon build up a possible factor?

I'm sure if he did that, he'd then be further subjected to more training.... It's like a never ending circle of powerpoints!

I think the precedent that was set by President Boner Bill was that until you know it is an unwanted advance or comment, its OK. That and you have to define what "is" is

Mark, you stated that Energy One clutches are suitable. I think I'm getting some slippage, already have the SE Spring. The Energy clutch kit with extra plate comes with a spring I don't need. Do you have a part number for a kit that doesn't have the spring? I suppose I could call them myself but I trust your judgement.

And that is a whole other presentation! It'll include pics of cigars, blue dresses, and ugly chicks.
