My friend just bought a 99 road king with 40,000 for $4,200. I had him open the cam chest. Tensioners about 40% worn. Other than that it's a nice bike except it's purple.
No but it wood be hard to make a living on less than $30 an hour. Medium home prices here are $700,000. That's for a spec 3 bed, 2 bath on a small lot.
One thing about living on a fixed income, live too long and your pension won't be much more than grocery money and a tent. I bet my airline pay would have easily bought a nice home in that area when I started in '73, today, at today's airline mechanic pay, wouldn't come close to average. A friend was breaking $100K with a little overtime at Delta a couple years before he retired, but by itself, that won't buy a $700,00 house.

Evening SpringWoods.
Hydroworld was basically insane today. This time of year is the contractors that neglected to do pump and motor maintenance/replacement until now, and they realise they will be on the job in 3 weeks. Then I get to tell them their parts or units have a 6 or 8 or 10 to 13 weeks lead time.... so it makes me very popular......NOT!
Bag guard install tonight. These little pipes have saved my butt once or twice in the past.

A question for the Woods, I’ve done a lot of brake jobs but I’ve never tried this method of bleeding them . Since I don’t have my “ mighty vac down here in Florida, what do you think of this method ?.
While I have never bled abs brakes on a bike that looks like a slick way to do it. I always use Speed Bleeders and just push the oil through the system. That might not work with abs though.

Nope. He is trying to keep it as cheap as possible at the moment. His cams had a little discoloration and should be changed at some point. He went with Cyo tensioner pads but got the wrong cam bearings as there was a bearing chang late in 99. He did not go with adjustable push rods and chose to go through the valve covers instead. He is coming off a dual sport. His first cruiser.
