    wouldn't mind having a 113" engine and a 6 speed in my 88 FLHTC !!

    Welcome Old Guy. Sounds like you got a good drivetrain set up.

    1987 gas was around 90 cents a gallon and Ronnie Reagan was President. I had an '87 Mustang GT that I spun out and totaled after hitting a patch of black ice. The rear axle broke and one of my wheels landed about 40 yards away. Seems like yesterday.

    Yes, every now and then I get to ride a stock bike and it reminds me of how great it really is. If you are thinking about the change over contact me for details.

    Welcome Old Guy
    We're the over 100 gang. Horsepower that is.
    I'm kind of old. My bike's a 08 Roadking 106 ci


    I almost cut my hair, it happened just the other day.
    It was gettin' kinda long, I could've said it was in my way.
    But I didn't and I wonder why, I feel like letting my freak flag fly
