i agree ultra.i cant afford one but if i could i havent really found one i like for myself.i love the fact that what i got i put it together for me and have some pride in the fact i put it together not the shop.and i learned alot doing it and will learn more as i go.and it still didnt cost as much.

Must people that go out an buy a HD is mostly for prestige I don't ride for that reason I ride because I love to ride and like to get to point a to point b with dependability.

very dependable.i feel really good about going for a long ride and not breaking down.im glad the i was able to talk the wife into letting me get rid of my v star classic so soon after i got it and letting me get my roadie.

hardone I don,t know how to put your reply here so I guess I will just type. OK If you have access to flat,knuckle,pan shovel head or evo or v-twin. how many plugs per cylender . what about crankpin or the simple tranny fact that we share common cavity with motor,, as appossed to 2 seperate cavities ie able to change out trannies on Milwalkee iron. ok we have 48 degree on the roadie but lets not forget all our sister str bikes . A ;ot of them have 60 degree vetwin. yeah we do have a belt on the roadie as does the roadliner and stratoliner but look at the royal Star venture which has been out since when the 80s it has not only a v4 engine buut also has a drive shaft. or maybe the v-max which resembles only itself. Yes the newer yami bikes have the retro look that is so commonly known as harley. But what about the V-rod that harley came out with in order for team HD to compete on the drag circuit with our roadstar warrior race team. But even that bike has a radiator. Personnally I like the air cooled engine. The 48 panny 1000 sporty and that oil hungry 71 superglide all where aircooled as where that old keep ya broke triumph and all my yamahas including IT and YZs If you will go and look at the early yami motor cycles you will find that bowfin tail style. now willy D did not do an exact replica . Those bikes where small cc and his was an 74 ci. hell it was a screamer . It was smaller than the the flh even though it was built on the same fram. It had a xlh sporster front end. Lets face it the metric bikes where taking over the scene. In the 70s we where considered outlaws ( no affiliation ) for rideing our harley and triumph bikes. And it was cool to ride a Honda Hey that dtna was killer and it saved HD. which would have been a shame if it had folded. As would it be a shame if our star line of bikes folded. I love all bikes but I prefer yami and HD. in that order not because of money I,ve ridden both. Ride hard ride fast and ride forever

I did the same thing , good move buddy

woo hoo Man Musky ya sure did open up a can here buddy

i often wonder if i shouldnt have gotten the fuel injected 08 but i cant complain.since i took off the cobra drag pipes and put on the 2 into one it seems to run alot better and a little quieter and i like it more than i thought i would.now if it would quit raining.lol

I've considered a 2 into 1 system, they'll make more power than duels. Those look sweet too. Cobra? Quieter you say? How much? They sound good?

i actually gotit used with the sissybar for 200 bucks.just got lucky.it does seem to have a little more get up and go than the dragsters.

Posers and douchebags ride all brands. Not too long ago, I was at a large Jap (all makes) dealership. It was a warm, suuny day. Plenty of nice looking bikes of all brands came and went, and most of the riders had one thing in common; nice, shiny new leathers. Not one bug on any of 'em! I tell ya, the weekend badasses really crack me up.

There are a lot of motorcycle owners out there who just have no clue what it's all about.
