The hot conditions was the second failure! After the dyno bomb.

Poor bastard. I don't think he wants to say what it was on the forum. I'm thinking a few problems. Stems and a hot dyno tune.

Man I wanted to park mine on the tracks a few times. Really took the fun out of riding. Confidence in this bike will change when I get another bike. Other than some leaks she seems fine.

My Grandmother (Dad's Mom) was the queen of the enema bag. Never saw her bathroom door without one hangin' on the back. She swore it would cure anything! I know it cured me from wanting to be sick when we visited her house.

Lou, I'm thinking of replacing my lifters when I do the rockouts. Should I go with S&S standard or spend double on premiums or Woods ?

IMO S&S standards would be fine. Premiums if you want an all USA lifter.

My standards are sitting on the shelf. They appear to be a little concerned about this whole deportation talk.....
