On Thursday while inspecting a 114 year old home I got stuck under the house in the crawl space. I knew better than trying to get into this area but I also had to find out what was wrong under this old house. In trying to get out my shoulders were stuck between two sections of concrete so I backed up and put my arms out in front of me to make my shoulders smaller. Well that worked except for a little further and then I really got stuck on the second attempt. I could see daylight at the opening to get out and knew this was my only choice of getting out. So in attempting to pull myself through this very small opening which was also had a slight uphill rise to it I had to pull myself as hard as I could.

Does any one know how wide a tire can be put on a 2000 Fatboy without any changes to sprokets, swingarm, fenders ect. Just wondering, I will be getting tires soon and kinda want that fat tire look

Need Some Help Screamin Eagle Pro II Slip-ons

Hello Everyone,

I am new here and just wanted to get some help.

I inherited a 99 Wideglide that had a complete V & H exhaust system on that sounded really good but was VERY loud. The ball & chain (wife) told me I had to tone it down. I ended up buying on e-bay very cheap a complete stock exhaust. The problem is my wife is happy but I think it sounds terrible! All I want to do is just get a tiny bit of the HD growl out of it. Will the new Screamin Eagle Pro II Slip-ons give any improvement at all over stock? Or does anyone have any suggestions for me, (other than the obvious change the wife).

I'm a new rider. I have a decent Kawasaki LTD K1000, 1982.
I'm looking for jacket information. I'm not a huge fan of leather because of the weight also it looks like the textile jackets have more protection and visibility. However past that I get lost in options. I live in Virginia can anyone give some insight on 1st jacket selection? What options should I select in a jacket and which ones are just fluff from the sales pitches?
