I will start on the brakes next week...Safety first and then everything else.

Thanks for all the comments and support and I will try to keep updating the forum on my progress.

Make sure to check your oil, sometimes fuel pumps fail internally and dump gas into the oil through the back of the pump. See if it is too thin and smells gassy.

But why sell the Harley's ? They go together as a set . I've owned both all of my driving years and don't ever see a change coming.
