Received a call I was waiting for from my dyno tuner Mike that my bike was done. After logging 120,000 miles on my 95" decided to do a complete build and go to a 103". He told me that the numbers are 114/108, and then said that on the last pull my Jagg oil cooler adapter blew a gasket.
I talked to Bob who built the motor asking him if he would fix the leak. He will, but is two weeks behind so it will be at least 2 weeks before he can fit it.
I would prefer to repair it myself, but do not have a trailer to haul the bike back and it leaks too much to drive. I checked with all my riding buds and none had a trailer or even knew of anyone with one.
20 years ago this would have shocked me. Shows how good and reliable bikes have become.
60 out by Monday - it's going to be a long 2 weeks.

+1 on U-Haul trailer rental
They have small cycle trailers for $15 bucks a day.

Drag that baby home and fix it yourself!

Thanks for the replies!!

I did not know that U-Haul had motorcycle trailers to rent. I called around and found one 11 miles from home so now I am set to pick it up on Monday.
My day just go better.

Another one for the U-Haul trailer. I have had to do it a couple times in a pinch also.

Glad you found one close by, good luck on a quick repair!

Uhaul also has p/u's too, all you need is a ramp and tie downs.
Im curious to whats in your build as I have the same #'s from my 103 build.
