While your there have the knowledgeable folks point out and explain what parts are what (ie stator) and it might be time to go ahead and put a quieter exhaust on it, after all your not a H-D dirt bag are you?

I'll spend a lot of time this winter going over my shop manuals, a lot of time just staring at the diagram of the big 16-valve engine.1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red

So ALL Harley riders with loud exhausts are dirt bags...? News to me... and my Doctor who rides a loud exhaust HD- and his accountant .Originally posted by Scout View Post
And many of my neighbors all living in pretty nice houses ..
Living near Milwaukee I meet a lot of HD riders with loud exhausts....in fact MY GS has a louder than stock OEM exhaust ...
Some like it that way...

Except for those poor neighbors that have to hear it at 6:00am. Just makes bike riders hated that much more. I ride just about every day and HATE that some local kid has a very LOUD crotch rocket that screams past my house every morning at around 5:30am. Wakes me up, my wife up and the dogs up! How about some consideration for other that have to listen to your sound pollution.http://img633.imageshack.us/img633/811/douMvs.jpg

Darn, with so many daily riders it's hard to decide which one to jump on next.;)

Yes, all Harley riders with loud exhausts are dirtbags, but not all dirtbags have loud exhausts. Now, if they happen to be Doctors or accountants that makes them Dirtbag Wannabes.Originally posted by Wingsconsin View Post
And...if i were to move to pretty nice house, I would still be a dirtbag, just one that lives in a pretty nice house.GSX1300R NT650 XV535Comment

No rush at all. If any motorcycle parts arrived at the house now, my loving brothers would string me up.

Chef Bill's a great guy but he didn't say the parts were FREE! He's not THAT great (or is he?).Originally posted by Wingsconsin View PostTHIS is what makes the motorcycle community great -- the fellowship and good will and empathy to help a down rider.

True that. But I don't begrudge a fellow human trying to put food on his family's table.Originally posted by Nessism View PostChef Bill's a great guy but he didn't say the parts were FREE! He's not THAT great (or is he?).
And you know what? Three different members have sent me FREE parts - no shipping, no nothing, FREE.
And a fourth member sent me a pair of sidecovers for shipping - $11! So I'm on the lookout for ways to pay it forward.
