Re: Harley Problems
cross threaded clutch adjuster plate, I assume from factory. I finally stripped it out the 3rd time I tried to adjust slipping clutch(slipped at high rpm 2up 4th and 5th).

2 things that had to intentionally be passed on, any painter worth a penny would not try to patch that paint process,(the pro's tell me) how many people handled a foot board that was obviously bent before chroming? installed a pad and put on the bike I work in an Aircraft quality fabrication shop, you do not pass defects. dealer tech scratched a four point dock, my mistake for letting them put on the free 4 point docks they put on all bikes

I have an '05 Road King Custom that's running real good with minor mods that I did myself. Barring the regular maintenance, all is good.

Re: Harley Problems
34,510 miles no problems, self maintained.
Problems could be caused by neglect, owner inflicted, abuse and ignorance of proper function. Get a manual and proper tools, read before attempting a do it yourself-er project. We all know it's not always the machine. Al
