But I've just about seen it all.
Just put in my 2 cents, I think it has turned into a discussion about the Archer show now.

I guess it depends on how much Bert charges himself. Not really sure Lou I know it has turned our machine shop into production line and I know there is other stuff they could be doing but to say how much it is actually cost us I don't know. With 200 pre-sold I can tell you Lisa is not complaining.

Afternoon check in Woods.


Baker kicking *** with the new compensators. Outstanding! I truly enjoy hearing American success stories. Now if I could just save up enough cash for a tranny I'd be happy


Added my opinion on the D-bag thread as well..

Yea it's amazing how many of my dealers don't read forums, I've been calling around to the dealers right here in Michigan and most of them didn't even realize we were making them. Harley and independents.

If I had a Baker dealer around here id pop in so they could take a look at it for them selves. Only 2 indys locally. Old classmate owns one. I thing I will show it to him before I install it. He's been doing a lot of comps.
