i have heard from many about the flimsyness of the inner fairing holding brackets. found out how flimsy first hand today. the repair is easy. i used a piece of thin steel, bent into a 90degree bend. drill a hole for the moco allen head screw, then drill and pop rivit into the old bracket. this repair is on the uppermost attachment to the inner fairing. i did the same to the other side just for reinforcement puposes. it is the screw just to the inside of the speakers. i should have done this sooner, would not have had the problems.....sorry, no pics....repair was done in about 15 minutes....piece of cake, and there was still daylight so riding was still on my mind!!!!!

I just replaced my windshield with a taller one. My old windshield only had about 1000 miles of riding time on it.
Where is the best place to sell a good almost new windshield? Ebay?

I just got a call from the dealership. Seems my cam shoes were on their way out and a piece had broken off and nicked the oil pump. Also, apparently there's some issue with the cylinder studs on '01s and those need to be replaced. The oil pump is kind of expensive, but the studs are no big deal, especially since they're already into the motor. I have no problem replacing the oil pump. If I only drove 500 miles a year it would be one thing, but I'll get my money out of it. I'm practically getting a brand new bike at this point. Motor anyway.

What's wrong with me, you ask? I'm driving four hours round trip to go see my baby undergoing surgery. I'm compelled to see it with the top end off and the nose cone removed. I seriously need help.

I'll take pictures.

I am hooking up an amp on my electra glide. Can someone answer a few questions?
