I can't believe it. Given, my bike has been known to set off a few car alarms, but people understand that loud pipes save lives. Sometimes I feel a little bad about waking people up at night, but its a small price to pay for my safety. And the cop that gave me the ticket said that if he were the dictator of the city, he would impound my bike and then send it to the crusher if I didn't put the stock pipes back on. Can you believe that commie crap? Whats this country coming to?

if i'm computer ( microrocessor ) controlled, why does my dealer say dyno is required or it wont run right.my other harleys have been carbed,so change in elevation would require tuning or jetting. seems my 2007 96 inch fuel injected computor controlled should remap it's self to achieve max. gain. they want 300 smackers to remap and dyno. line me out here as i have never had a computor bike and sure dont want to meltdown a 20.000 dollar investment. thanks to all

My husband is restoring a 79 sportster, but the shops around here don't work on them, and even through Harley Davidson, you can not get parts for a bike that old. We are looking for like a catalog that specializes in this year, or at least includes it, and i am not having much luck finding anything online. Please help us out, there is a lot of history in the bike we are restoring.

Looking for good used or rebuildable parts for a '79 H-D FLH restoration project. Any ideas besides e-bay?
to jack f, I used to live in Austin, and I have been to Bud's many times, but that was a different time and a different bike. Don't like buying parts sight unseen, and I had one or two minor issues with some of Bud's staff.
Do I need to rejet the carbs on my Harley low rider if I install new SLIP ON pipes?? If so should I pay to have it done with a dyno or do it myself? Thanks to those motorcycle enthusiasts with answers for me!

I have a 2006 Dyna and I found out here that changing my stock pipes to Screamin' Eagles isn't hard. Can someone tell me actually HOW to do this? Thanks!
My friend has a Harley swing arm frame from the late 50's early 60's for sale and my husband is trying to list it for him cuz he is pretty computer illiterate. If you know of another site, preferably free, that we can list it on that would be great.
I've just obtained a Harley Davidson and the pipes are badly weathered and have rust ALL over them. I'm new to motorcyles and know little about this kind of stuff. What is a good way to remove lots of rust from the chrome on the exhaust pipes?
I've seen entire engines made in China that are identical to a harley right down to the pistons.
She can't help it, bless her heart. My wife rides on the back of my Harley with me everywhere, but she has a habit of getting her boots against my hot pipes, and her boot leather melts to them. After I get my pipes hot, what can I use to clean it off with??? I was told to use Easyoff oven cleaner. Anyother suggestions???
think about price range, design, style, accessories, clothing, etc
Everytime I order parts for my Buell, I have to go through Harley and it takes like 2 weeks for one stupid bolt to come in. Why is that? Do they only pay people to make parts AS needed?
Also on a side note, what is up with the Harley dogma?
can you remove the baffles from a stock 1200c-2008?
