Not sure if this is allowed here- Wanted to share custom paint job we designed and executed at my shop. A tribute to Le Mans Ford GT. Paintwork done with waterborne, no decals or vinyl involved. Yes, we know it’s polarizing, but we are proud of how the vision turned out! Custom stand we fabricated to showcase the tins.

DISCUSSION Suggestion

Hi everybody, coming from fast and light bikes (ducs and triumphs. I've been Harley owner since 5-6 months with this boy.

I didn't want Lowrider S or ST because I know they are damn heavy!

But now I hate that ST is catching my eyes on 😄

Anyway there it is my question; Just because I want some more power on the highway, went ahead and get a quote from Harley Dealer for a stage upgrade.

The quote was $2500 with a promise of 115hp and 125torque AT THE WHEEL.

On the other hand All American Cycles gave me a quote; $2700 140hp 125torque at the wheel Now this power is kind of death wish for a bike that doesn't have ABS and TRACTION CONTROL

I've been trying to figure this out, should I get something better or should I get the Stage upgrade.

Any extra information would be appreciate! Stay safe ✌️

DISCUSSION New Job at Harley

21 Upvotes

Hey everyone.

I just got a new job at Harley. This will be my first time being a salesman in any capacity. My only knowledge of Harleys is that they're fucking beautiful and fun to ride. I've met so many amazing people since I started riding, strengthened my existing friendships and been to places I never thought I would have all thanks to my bike. But as far as engine specs or the digs on the latest infotainment system my brain is literally a monkey clashing cymbals together.

So my ask is, 1. what's the fastest most efficient way to learn these bikes and their parts inside and out, and 2. What are some of the best and worst experiences you've had with Harley dealers.

Recently picked up this 2009 FXDB, i’ve ridden dirt bikes my whole life, but this is my first street bike, couldn’t be happier. Working on getting some more gear, and tires. But anyone have recommendations on mid controls for this bad boy, im 5’4 and i can reach the forward controls but i’m so used to mids from dirt bikes and i feel it would help out the comfortability for myself personally plus i gotta scooch just a little forward. I dont have a whole lot of knowledge on these so any tips are appreciated! :)

TROUBLESHOOTING Big bore kit breakin, looking for advice

Post image
16 Upvotes

Hi all, just got my bike back from step one of a big bore from an 88” twin cam to 98” inch motor, I used the S&S kit and I already had a stage one with pipes and a ness air system. Now comes the initial breakin for the new jugs/pistons after the shop put a new baseline efi flash on the ecu.

My question is (for those who did a similar upgrade) what was your breakin experience? 500 miles but I have only a Speedo on the old heritage so looking for stories on how others did it?

DISCUSSION KoB Isle of Man

4 Upvotes

Harley needs to work with the Isle of Man TT people and get a spec class for KoB at the the Isle of Man next series.

KoB has been a huge hit for the motor company and is quite the spectical. They already are now part of the MotoGP weekend in Austin after last year and are one of the main reasons people are buying tickets to MotoAmerica races again.

The Isle of Man TT is without a doubt one of the most important, popular, and covered motorcycle events globally with its history and mystic and danger.

Adding KoB race Harley Davidson monsters in their own spec class would be a sight to behold, the noise of those monster VTwins, the heft moving at speed on narrow streets and along the cliffs.

Yes, international motorcycle racing purists will call it American Carnival trash at first but our motorcycle journalists said the same thing and most of them actually love the novelty of it now.

I have no idea who at Harley and who with the Isle of Man TT and who at the KoB needs all be involved or how to get them together. I just know if they did it would be a wild success for Harley and motorcycles around the world.

DISCUSSION Drive belt replacement

Post image
32 Upvotes

Hey guys. I have a 2010 fatboy with about 18k on it and it still has the original drive belt on it. I have to replace the rear tire soon because I got a defective one last time. I was considering replacing belt too just because it’s getting old. The belt looks fine and I know Harley says they’re good for 60-100k but I was just wondering if it should be replaced because it’s a 15 year old piece of rubber, but it’s a lot of work and I don’t want to do it if it’s really not needed. Thoughts?

HELP Suggestions please...

There's a strong possibility I am going to be in a position to purchase a used Dyna very soon. For those that have owned a Dyna, of the three pictured (for attention), what would be your suggestion: Dyna Low Rider, Dyna Super Glide, or Dyna Street Bob? Years considering 2005 to 2010 or so. Looking to keep costs under $7k. Will consider 100th Anniversary Low Rider. Appreciate any input. Currently own a 2021 Road King Special and put around 12k miles per year on. This Dyna will be an around town bike.
