Just went out on my first cruise on a motorcycle today. This bike's exact twin and just as minty. It's a '98 with 33,000 miles. My buddy wants $4500. Wrung the bitch out a few times. Within 20 minutes I felt like I had been riding the thing my whole life. I thought we could have only been out for 45 minutes or so, but when I got back over 4 hours had gone by. It gets in your soul man. Good damn time.

HuntingHarleys that thing could be signed by Arnold himself from the Terminator 2 movie set. I wouldn't care. I'd clear-coat his signature and ride it till the wheel fell off. But I probably wouldn't get the chance to because it'd probably get stolen before then. Stolen by someone who knew it could be resold for a lot more money. Someone with a big amount of money who would just keep it locked away so it'd "grow" in value. And again the cycle repeats. Hence we see money and collecting is the root of all materialistic evil, and oh lord, I believe I've opened Pandora's box again.... whoops. Anyways, you still got a great channel here.

Hi, Todd. I never new how you had to really let em warm up a lot? I heard if you let it warm to much in idle, it will warp the heads? is that true? I have a 2005 15 Anniversary, fuel injected! I run it real hard. But I do let it warm up a good 5 to 8 min in idle. Is that too long? I have 16,543 on mine..and I do hear the lifters loud as a sewing machine( I'm running hd 20/50 oil ) , esp when hot!!!! ps- I do have to tighten the exhaust gaskets often...unless I have a gasket leak, that I'm just trying to mask, not being a good mechanic, like yourself!! ps.. did you say head gaskets will blow or exhaust? couldn't really hear ya? sorry for the questions, but I love to learn..new to HD mechanics!
@HuntingHarleys8 жыл бұрын
warm up means until the sides of the cylinders feel really warm, not hot, to touch. How long depends on the temperature. I think someone is messing with you about warping the heads for idling too long. If your lifters are loud, something is wrong. What, I cannot say. You should not have to tighten the exhaust "gaskets". that says something else is not right.
