Trying to get you banned? Thats a laugh. Stop being so paranoid.
If there is any banning to be done, you'll do it to yourself hero.

Yeah Leo. You're the good guy.

So how is your Road Glide coming along?

Never said you were a bad guy, just thought it was funny calling a guy a troll that's been here going on 4 years and has made over 400 posts. My observation said that there must be some history between you guys was all, and apparently I was right. Thanks for the link, quit comical.

 

Please read the past post, I think that will shed some light to the lunacy. Track just hate HD and would like as much as he can get for free.


WFT read the past posts, sooner or later he will the the Harley Davidson area 51 conspiracy, until we have to read the frame troll posts.

 

That's nuts. I'd do the frame swap so they take a good look at your bike and see if anything else was messed up.

 

I wouldn't want some tech taking my bike completely apart. Things will be missed, scratches could appear that they insist were there when u dropped it off. Not worth it IMO.

 

Frame replacement pays 16 hours on a touring bike. It's really not that big a job and if you think about it, it re-assembled by an individual, hand built. There is bound to be less error in a hand built bike than one assembled on an assembly line. Some of you guys are a little rough on harley techs, believe it or not there are some really competant and capable ones out there. The dealers that don't want to pay the techs are decent money are the ones you have to be leary of. and tech worth there weight wouldn't work for change. Just like in any industry.

 

Exactly, and look at all the custom bikes that are built from a bare frame. These bikes are pretty modular anyway. Anytime your bike (or car, truck, etc) goes in the shop for repair work, it's put back together by hand. Brakes, transmission, suspension, etc, etc. If you can't ride a bike that's been repaired for fear of it falling apart underneath you, you shouldn't be riding.

And I sure don't understand why it's necessarily preferable to have a bike assembled by a line worker rather than a trained, certified mechanic.

I've taken a couple of bikes (and my hotrod '56 chev) down to the frame. It only seems like a big deal to someone who's never done it before.

 

Hell, I can take the bike down to the frame. It's the gettin it back together that scares me. LOL.
