Only small (just about any size) car I've been in the last 20 or 30 years that didn't feel cramped was a Mini Cooper, and you're a bit bigger than me. But I've read they ain't real reliable. I really regret getting a minivan; comfortable enough, and hauling 7 peeps has been handy, but now I wish I'd gotten something like a Tahoe with a fair sized V8; minivan ain't any good for pulling a fair sized trailer. But then I've only broke 2000 miles in a year a couple times since I got the minivan, gas mileage ain't a big deal for me.

There you go. Even if it costs more, think that's what I'll go with. Gonna dump at least 3 grand in this old Glide, what's a couple or hundred more bucks... and I haven't looked in the transmission yet...

I agree but I need it today! I can get a rotor, stator and regulator for what HD is going to gouge me for this one. But I lerned to check the rotor for clearance from now on.

Well if you would plan your breakdowns better you could already have the stuff ordered and on it's way. Should we get you some wheel bearings coming.

I have the rotor in stock along with a few other parts. No one told me I would have to stock parts if I actually rode this thing.

That's why most people don't ride them, just set it the driveway and make sure it's clean.
