    Unknown pothole in the shadows caused my HD to drop between the gears...

    Potholes can be harsh. Earlier in the year I hit a pothole and burst both fork seals that then leaked onto the brake rotors and pads, a long way from home.

    Mupo LcRr

    Think these would fit my 05? Says R3R 97 on. Didn't think the later forks were any different just the tourings?

    Cars of Dreams

    The most hilarious part is that its made in Russia and didn't even have a heater. I researched them after seeing one and all controls are on steering stem. They were called Invalidikas and apparently you could order them based on the level of limb loss you had obviously losing 2 arms...

    I screwed up

    Take it your talking about the clamp that clamps the clutch assembly to the bars? I have used helicoils a lot on old bikes before to repair stripped threads. For it to work it is drilled to the next metric size (being metric threads), tapped to the next size up (probably M7 or M8) and the SS...

    Front and Rear Brake Pad Replacement Service

    And don't be tempted by (bad)recommendations like anti-seize on the back of the pads. Its not a good idea.

    Using Tuneecu and PCV/at

    As @Claviger says, you could also try limiting the trims to say 5%. This will compensate for elevation, fuel quality, engine diffs etc that someone elses dyno tune wont resolve on your bike. I wouldn't remove the PCV AT myself.

    Extending front brake line

    Same as @JRock and @Tripps. Run a line to each caliper, I used Hel brakelines and fittings, just went to a local car speedshop and got the lot, after some careful measuring, then going back and getting the right length :banghead: they were sweet. Much easier to bleed too. Good service and not...
