Re: I can almost hear the giggles from here!
I know the bikes that aren't in alignment can be made so easily. Buz, just do a few measurements and you can tell real quick. Mine is perfect, and haven't had to adjust it at all. The procedure is in the workshop manual. If you need me to mail you what measurements to take let me know. If you notice, the engines aren't failing but they are being sued for "the potential" of failing and 100,000 is the number THEY say. Mfgs. get sued thousands of times a year for just about everything under the sun. Remember the Suzuki TL1000 tankslapper suit? Read some of the boards about Hayabusa starters busting cases and the subframes collapsing, ZX12's clutches grenading and electrical problems that have started fires, GoldWings overheating, Bandits blowing oil and on and on. You are reading the plaintiffs version and not the defense. This case was already dismissed once, and they had to appeal just to get it heard. Of course, everyone here is already the judge and jury, even though they don't know anything really about the case. Imagine someone accusing you of rape even though it's total BS. Lets just say 80% of the people have already convicted you, and when you do prove your innocence, they will say it's because of your lawyer. All you need these days, for the small minds here, is an accusation, the conviction is not necessary for guilt. All I can say is, if Harley wins, they are not necessarily right, and if they lose they are not necessarily wrong. If a woman can win millions for spilling coffee on herself and then blaming the coffee producer(McDonalds) anything can happen in this screwed up world. I do find it amusing that KPaul seems to be very happy, but claims to own stock in this company. Kinda like betting lots of cash on the Raiders and rooting for them to lose. Either he's lying or not mentally stable. Hopefully there will be a fire sale of Harleys, and I can add a couple more to my stable for cheap.
