I ride my bike daily, I live in Southern California so I can ride year round. My daily comute is 5 miles. I also ride in the back country on the weekends and ride with groups. My wife eventually wants to go two up. So I could afford a 2008 Fat Bob or an older RK with more miles. It's a matter of economics. I like both bikes. It seems that with such short distances the RK might be too much. But I like the ability to get on the road and take off for a while.
I'm hoping some of you will have had similar choices and have some great advise.
Thanks. ]]> Touring General Discussions Tweedster http://www.Harley-Davidsonforums.com/forums/touring-general-discussions/13829-cant-deside-whether-buy-dyna-fat-bob-road-king.html Brake Pads 2007 Street Glide http://www.Harley-Davidsonforums.com/forums/touring-general-discussions/13821-brake-pads-2007-street-glide.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 23:57:18 GMT Just wondering if anybody has any suggestions on what brand or type of brake pads are best for a 2007 FLHX Street Glide.

My problem is not being able to hear radio or cb through the head set. Everything comes through the external speakers except intercom.

(pics to follow).here is the lovely part i cant find the antenna mounting bracket anywhere on the side r rails. you know why i didnt find it ? ill tell you "it doesnt exist" ..... so know i have to find a place to mount it im thinking jb weld zip ties cutting and welding the bracket of the other one. well out of luck the bracket that supports the saddlebag has a tiny hole in the bottom. it turns out its just the right size for the screw for the bracket to fit through. first i had to cut 1/2 the bottom of the bracket so it will fit ?no teh antenna is pointing almost perfectly straight back ? :faint.... i cant win did i miss something ? i guess i could remove the bracket palce it in a vice grip and hit with a hammer to give more of a bend . i just want to through a shout out to the forums and see if anything else is possible ! oh yeah the bottom plactic light that goes at the bottom of the rear fender its very sensitive mine cracked into 1 million tiny cracks stil works but looks like a modern piece of art . ]]> Touring General Discussions topbanana3767 http://www.Harley-Davidsonforums.com/forums/touring-general-discussions/13798-im-running-into-problem-need-help.html Drive Belt On 2005 Ultraglide Classic http://www.Harley-Davidsonforums.com/forums/touring-general-discussions/13771-drive-belt-2005-ultraglide-classic.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 17:32:32 GMT I Have A Clymer Work Shop Manual And I Have A Harley Manual One Tells You To Check Belt Tention With Bike On Jiffey Stand The Other Manual Tells You...

The cams are touring cams and will feed power in the rpm range I ride. I want mostly tg to carry the gears which I think are too wide spaced, especially 6th gear. I don't want to have to downshift out on the freeway from 6th just to pass someone.

It seems the 96" engine needs either to stay at 96" w/ cams or go above the 103" to get good numbers. I am not too impressed with the 103" numbers w/ 255 cams. If I don't go with the S&S cams I am thinking maybe HQ or Andrews. Any opinions? ]]> Touring General Discussions smokindave http://www.Harley-Davidsonforums.com/forums/touring-general-discussions/13700-anyone-running-106-big-bore-s-s.html <![CDATA[Let's talk transmissions]]> http://www.Harley-Davidsonforums.com/forums/touring-general-discussions/13688-lets-talk-transmissions.html Mon, 16 Nov 2009 01:47:03 GMT Hi all, I have been very happy with my 09 Road King.

I have been very happy with my 09 Road King. No problems and runs very well. Happens to be my third Harley. Upon a visit to the dealer the other day I happened to overhear the sales person talking about how Harley changed out the transmission in the 2010 bikes and it no longer has the straight cut gear. He went on to say that too many folks were complaining about the noise so the manufacturer changed it. First, is this true? And if it is, Can the gear set be changed out on my 09 to the unit in the 2010? And if so, has anyone done it and how much did it cost? That damn gear really sucks and I am frankly getting sick and tired of hearing it all the time.

I also wonder if they took any steps to stop the clanking from the gear set as well. As you add and remove torque by opening and closing the clutch it sounds as if two pieces of metal are slapping together. I have never heard this on any of my older bikes and frankly, it sucks too! I am at the point that if I find out it can be done I will pay whatever it costs to get it done.

Any thoughts? Anyone else fed up too? ]]> Touring General Discussions SGHWD http://www.Harley-Davidsonforums.com/forums/touring-general-discussions/13688-lets-talk-transmissions.html Hammock touring seat http://www.Harley-Davidsonforums.com/forums/touring-general-discussions/13682-hammock-touring-seat.html Sun, 15 Nov 2009 23:09:21 GMT Has anyone tried Harleys Hammock touring seat?

Not part number 74584-99 that HD carries - that is the very common speaker trim kit that all of us have seen. But something larger, to cover the outer most edge of the speaker

In reality, I only need something for the left rear speaker - here is why. When I dismount, after lowering the jiffy stand, I place my left foot on the ground and swing my right leg across the bike, to the left side. Not every time, but more times than I will admit to, my right boot clips the left rear speaker housing. Now, it doesn't hit the inner most ring, where the HD chrome rim would mount, but the outer edge of the larger housing.

While we are at it, anyone have a link to billet styled front speaker rings?

Appreciation in advance!! ]]> Touring General Discussions rgcdenverultra http://www.Harley-Davidsonforums.com/forums/touring-general-discussions/13666-rear-speaker-trim-rings.html
