Hello,

I am moving from Boston to Los Angeles and figured this would be the perfect opportunity to take a cross country ride. Me and two friends decided to take two weeks to ride across. I haven't thought all of this out or planned much yet, except that I want to stop in Boulder and Denver CO. A friend of mine suggested that once I get over that way, dropping straight down and avoiding the mountains by dropping down to the 10 and then shooting across to Los Angeles. I was wondering if anyone has taken this ride? Any suggestions on good routes to take? Places to stop at? Things to see on the way? (were all around 25 y/o so any good bars or spots along the way?) for the end of the day of course.

And....any suggestions on things to bring and places to camp out? or good things to do to...

I have a 95 sportster and 4 years ago I was going through a devorce, too cold to ride and nothing else to do so I desided to make some changes to it. I bought some cheep stuff off Ebay. Post 1999 softail front & rear fenders, gas tank, oil tank, rear swing arm, wide front end. Choped off the rear of the frame made it wider & faved side plates to mount the swing arm. Now I have a 2006 Electra Glide, 2009 Road King, a new girl frend who has a honda & a scooter. Amazing what you can afford when you get rid of a worthless wife & her blood sucking kids. Garage is full need to sell sportster but at the end of this summer it started making a pinging noise & low compression pulled heads to look for carbon build up nothing bike has a lot of miles on it. Came across a total loss 2003 softail...

I am looking for a 3" open primary set up, everything from pullys to the clutch to fit a shovelhead engine. Splined engine shaft and tapered trany shaft (4 Speed). Used is ok as long as it is in good working order.
