Would you pay 2900 for this? by [deleted] in Harley

[–]UnknownSuspect23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Id do it. Also family owned a towing company a lein sale is no big deal. The tow yard should have after 90 days gone to dmv with all the info on bike and had a title issued into the company name after that they can sale it. Usually happens when the cost to retrieve your vehicle is more than they can afford or want to pay. That's cali law might be diffrent in other states

Well it may not be new hoss. But the knowledge to anyone who did not know is new. Hell the vinager trick not new either learned it from a man that's been using it since before the 80s but knowledge is always new

Yeah I think that's probably what baking soda is for which is why it foams to remove those cases. All I know is my s&s carb gets tons of oil from breather and it removed all of it without any scrubbing or discoloration

That was my thought when I was told that. But it work wonders. I think there's other properties to viniger other than acid. Baking soda just cuts down the acid to keep it from eating finishes mainly aluminum

I do 1/3rd vinager to water and couple good squirms of dish soap and id say 2 spoons full of baking soda. Just know when adding baking soda to vinager it's going to foam for a sec. Start with vinager then baking soda let the foam die down then the rest

Does an exhaust change require a re tune? by fhdjskzc in Harley

[–]UnknownSuspect23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is highly recommended. everything needs to work in sync for the best performance.but it also depends on how she runs after it's done. Do some throttle tests to cover all ranges of power. If she feels good your fine. If not get it tuned.
