Cheryl has informed me (in a very animated manner) that a drinking glass is not acceptable collateral damage when killing a fly.

 

you were able to throw a drinking glass at a fly and kill it !. I’m for one am impressed!.

 

If I thought it would work I would do it Chuck. Unfortunately I over swung the dish towel.

 

My best buddy was in the same line of work as me. Years ago he decided to change it up, went to school and got his motorcycle mechanic PHD. He went to work for a rather large dealer that owned 4-5 dealerships in the state. On the weekend we were rebuilding my 1986 FXR in his home garage. We got it all back together just in time for a trip to the mountains. The night before I was leaving I discovered an issue that had to be addressed. He had to work that day so my only choice was to take it to the dealer. He had to get permission for me to bring it in because they did not work on old bikes. This was in 2005 so it was not 20 years old. He told me they would hardly even work on an Evo any longer. Most all the wok he did was warranty work and bolting on accessories. He said the warranty work and chrome goodies kept them all too busy to actually do mechanic work at large.

The best indy shop in Tampa closed down because the owner retired. It has left quite a void. I do not know who I will go to when mine get too old for the dealer.

 

You will go to Jeff's Guitar Tuning and Motorcycle Repair LLC.

 

Garage is slowly coming together

 

Depends on the part. I trust the aftermarket more than the MoCo

 

There are exceptions. I use EBC brake pads. But only HD oem rotors. Some stuff Harley just doesn't make like good extended levers. Seats - always aftermarket for me. But the typical maintenance stuff I use mostly Harley. Air filters, oil filters, spark plugs, etc. I even use the Formula Plus for the primary. Never had a compensator issue.

 

 

I'm talking certain mechanical parts not chrome bolt ons.

When it comes to sprockets/flywheels and lower engine stuff, Dark Horse all the way.

Other engine parts, S&S has yet to let me down.
