So it runs, and has a title?
12k still seems steep even with those two as a yes. It's fairly clean, but the serial number 12345 is a really off chance. Numbers should be 42wl#### if i recall correctly.
Well gents, I finally got this thing home yesterday. It sat for a month or two after I finished for some silly reason. Now its on. So far, I've got to say, it's way too much fun. Still doing the break in thing so I haven't laid into it yet. That being said, this thing makes power. Lots of it. I...
Well, here's the spot to ask. We've got a rib cook off coming up and haven't really considered a new recipe. We have access to a good BBQ but not a smoker. Any ideas on making killer ribs? Either a dry rub or saucy mega rib, just the most killer ribs ever. Thanks in advance eh!
I'll run bags when I've got a bigger trip to do, but for the average day, nah. I'll leave it bare. Scooted around the parking lot today a bit. Needs some dialing in, did a few heat cycles. Now I realize I've gotta insure the damn thing, and BC doesn't make this a cheap option. Oh well, it's...

Pull your calipers...
Really good advice. Someone not seeing you is a quick way to a bad spot. When it's good, it's good, when its bad... Well....
That being said, I've rode into work every day for the last couple weeks on the old shovelhead. Some cold mornings, even below freezing, but I'll suffer a morning to have...
Got the oil lines plumbed in. Was bleeding the system but the battery was too dead. Should be running early next week but it looks an awful lot like a motorcycle right now. Likely going to need a high torque starter. This motor is a beast to turn over. Even with compression releases. It fired...
