I know it's not walk in the park, but we're all big boys here... My point to JP was that the money should be spend on the pipes now, not the GPs, lol.

LOL! You wouldn't be bugging me! I WILL get out ther to visit one of these days though. Maybe after I get settled in at the new job and get a place and get things back on track, I may get get another Harley. That's what I would love to do, is ride a bike out there. Hopefully someday it will happen.

You make a very good point Nate. I was actually thinking today I could just replace what O-rings/gaskets I needed to on the back of the engine, then drop it in and worry about the rest later on. It only makes sense to do the same with the bellows. You've given me something to definitely consider!


Im just ready to get the ol gal on the road again. As it turns out, while you guys were at RRE 2013, I was pulling the engine out of my dually. July 19, 2013 is when my phone says I took the pics of the engine coming out. Dang that's a long time ago lol
