I get the feeling that Magic Man's 120 and your 128 are two completely different things. :dontknow: Unless you are using the 128 number to justify the 120 number.

Since we were told in L.A. by several West Coast Spyders that "on the East Coast we buy the Spyders to keep them in the garage or ride slow, for few miles" I'm trying to fit in the picture. :yikes:

Right..I bet if we did the math, you would have the least amount of hours compared to miles based on the number of days owned. I think you also learned I would be right behind you..lol. I would put ride it like I stole it on the back but I get pulled over enough already.

"Keep them in the garage or ride slow for a few miles"

wait a minute...
am I wrong, or are all the high mileage Spyder owners East of the Mississippi?


btw; 51.4k as of today.

 

[docdoru]

Still in the shop, waiting for the shim set to arrive...:gaah:

Might want to check with your local Harley dealer. From what I'm reading the vrod uses the same shim (10mm).
