I've installed both and saw no big deals with either. FWIW, I have the UE in my bike. Not sure what your Florida plans are, but if you want a go at the install yourself, I'll give you a hand at my shop.
Man you guys are great.
I have my bike in storage in Miami at the moment but live in Bermuda so I have no access to a workshop.
I know if I take the bike to the HD dealer he will probably charge me 6 hours labour which will be almost $1000.
I'm coming back down at the end of the month and was going to check out what looks to be a cool cycle shop - Dre's - http://www.dresmotoshop.com/
I'll see what he can do for me before bothering you guys.
Miami is not far from Coral Spings. Also happy to help. I am sure we can sucker my airhead neighbor into helping out as well. We both put mine in without a hitch.
Yes. This is a PRIME opportunity to meet VROD guys. If they are are offering I would honestly take them up on their offer. You will not find another group of ppl anywhere in the world as helpful!!! :thumb:
Plus YOU get to learn how to do things on YOUR BIKE and keep money in YOUR POCKET! Except for the beer and pizza! it will cost ya!! :cheers: :cheers:
Have the tank shipped here...Ride over here from Miami... Luigi can ride south... might even get Rusty and Grit to ride down too. Between the lot of us, I'd say we could have that tank in in record time (as long as the beer holds out anyhow).
I'm not really sure how to respond.
You'd better be careful or I just may take you up on the offer.
But I know everybody's time is precious and I would feel guilty if I screwed around with your free time.
Do you guys have time to spare?
My shop is sort of... convertable... depending on the task at hand. Sometimes its a wood shop, welding, mechanics, boats, cabinet... well even motorcycles at times..... BUT if you show up while someone is PAYING me to build cabinets for their boat, you'll wait LOL!
That said... a week or two should suffice to convert to a bike shop and fit you in!
If you guys are serious about helping me I'd love to take you up on the offer.
But obviously let's plan a time that's convenient to you.
There's no great hurry.
I'll order the Rick's Tank.
Do I need to order the tool to remove the large threaded ring on top of the fuel tank?
Also on Rick's instruction sheet they recommend using a new seal - part 61498-01.
I can't find that part on the HD website. Any ideas? I'll call Rick's and see what that is.
Thanks again.
Thanks Peter.
I see that you and your airhead neighbor are pretty close to Miami - lol.
I'm getting spoilt for choice - and really appreciate it.
When the tank arrives we can see what works for everybody with the least hassle to anyones free time.
Peter it looks like you have the Corbin Hollywood seat on your bike.
How do you like that?
Is it comfortable for you and the passenger?
How does it compare to the Sundowner?
true but if given enough notice i feel a cold coming on.....cough cough cough
