Buying a shiny (well matt) new and modern bike has its benefits.
If anything breaks I can get it repaired under warranty, there is an efficiency which makes that event more unlikely and it has all the latest gadgets and gizmos.
But, and it is a big but, sometimes there are also the down-sides.
The warranty is very likely to be negated by customising the bike. I, and lots of other people, may think that adapting the stock bike definately is an improvement but HD only view this as a way out of fulfilling their post-sale responsibilities when they provide a machine.
The bike may not readily break down but if this does happen, the gadgets and gizmos just make it more complicated to carry out repairs.
Fuel injection is one of these things. It took me a while to understand the intricies of carburrretion, especially in multiple carb rice-burners. So, as you can imagine, having fuel injection on my bike is enough to make my eyes glaze over and go watch Strictly Come Dancing.
Therefore when I came across this site, little wheels and cogs in my head started whirring.
Maybe one day!
