    So much for being "Collectors Editions" I guess. lol (I can say that, I have one!)

    Harley passenger made my day...

    Sorry to all it came out wrong. I would have liked it better if she got off his bike and got on the R18.

    Harley passenger made my day...

    That's a little assuming.... I didnt mean it to piss in his punchbowl as much as to say I just dont care much personally whether folks like or dislike my stuff. That's it.

    I could care less if some strangers like my stuff or hate it.

    Final Drive (Bevel Gear) Oil Spillage on the rim and tire - very dangerous

    I just put a small block or plate under my kickstand to hold the bike a little more upright and had a funnel under the drain plug. Didnt spill a drop. A bike lift or even a rear wheel lift would be easier.

    6,000 miles service cost is ridiculous!

    Hey folks.... My 600 mile service cost me around 100 bucks. Yes, I did it myself. Motul full syn oil was 62 bucks for a 4L jug from Amazon, 15 bucks for the filter and about 20 bucks for the gear oil. (Royal Purple) This is the easiest bike to do an oil change on. The only difficult part is...

    100th Anniversary R18 Value

    I have an R18 100 Yr. I did not buy it because I think Im gonna get 100k for it when I sell it or anything like that. I bought it because its unique and I like it. When I was shopping for them I was told by different dealers that most of them went to collectors who will never drive them. All...

    Shifter and rear brake lever adustments

    Shifter can be adjusted, rear brake lever cannot. My rear brake lever is higher than the peg and its annoying.

    Tire with a screw in it. Slow Leak. Need advice!

    Shops will NOT do that. They will sell you a new tire and make a few more bucks on labor.

    Tire with a screw in it. Slow Leak. Need advice!

    Is it tube tire or tubeless? If it's tubeless I would just plug it. Easy. Tubeless the wheel and tire have to be removed.

    Harley Street Glide Vs Bagger

    Brentune will add about 4 HP according to his website. its a 900 dollar 4HP gain. Not knocking it, its just a very expensive 4hp gain. I think most of the benefit is throttle response. If your bike is fast enough why pay Bren 900 dollars for a performance upgrade?

    Harley Street Glide Vs Bagger

    I have that already. Its just nice to ride something comfy and do long burnouts on.

    Harley Street Glide Vs Bagger

    Yeah.... and someone like me can spend 10k and put a 135ci kit in it and have a nice hotrod bagger for just over 20k. If they offered any real performance parts for our R18 I would be first in line but I know that wont happen.

    Harley Street Glide Vs Bagger

    Hey all, I don't have a bagger so my perspective is skewed, but I find my 100yr edition to be about the best handling cruiser bike Ive owned. I had a Road Glide Special and an Indian Springfield. Those both felt like just much bigger bikes, because they are. They're about 850 lbs. My bike is 730...
