    Door got keyed, options?

    Find out who does touch up work for the used car lots in the area. A friend of mind does this and makes a good living but also can make repairs virtually undetectable. Do you think all those used cars at the Mega new car lots really always looked that good. I had my wife's silver Mustang GT...

    What happens when you get impatient

    That was on the Tail of the Dragon on US hwy 129 between Maryville,Tn and Robbinsville,NC. That curve I am sure is much sharper than it appears on the video. Unfortunately that happens all too often on that road. Over 300 curves in 11 miles and motorcyclists have decided they own that particular...

    Harley question

    I have an 06 ElectraGlide Standard. I am running Mobil 1 15w50 in the engine and Mobil 1 75w90 in the trans and Rotella 15w40 in the primary because it is cheap and I have a lot of it. Believe me I like this combo a lot better than the Harley Syn3 in all the holes. I keep meaning to order some...

    Mystik JT-8 Synthetic Blend 15w50

    I would like to know where you found the Mystic 15w50?? The only places I have found Mystic oil at all in this area are the various farm stores and none have any 15w50 only 15w40. This is in middle Tennessee, but I do go through Oklahoma three or four times a year and would stock up on some if I...

    Buying cycle, need advice 3yr 3.5K no oil change?

    I would not worry about the synthetic Rotella. Use the dino 15w40 and do some more short oil change intervals to clean it out some more. I use the dino Rotella all the time in my V-Star 1100. One good thing is that engine has been around a long time in it's basic configuration and my most...

    Craftsman Hydro Queston

    I can tell you if you will check out mytractorforums.com and go to the lawn tractor section and then Craftsman section from there they can probably tell you most anything you will need to know. Someone usually has the factory service manuals etc in pdf format they can send you. I have a service...

    Electra Glide Standard

    I am glad you are loving your Street Glide. I like them as well and the Black Pearl is a grat color. I hate they did the bigger engines just after we got 06 Glides but, I am getting 47 - 48 mpg with my standard and I am a left lane hog. This thing just rocks on the interstate. I still have my...

    Motorcraft from dealer not the same as Motorcraft purchased elsewhere?

    I think many people agree the OEM filters from the factory are made by Champ Labs.

    Craftsman Hydro Queston

    Not knowing how you use your lawn tractor I cannot say if you have enough tractor for the job or not. That said the hydro-gear unit is used by many different manufacturers and is a pretty decent unit for residential use. All that said I too had trouble with my Craftsman DYT4000 I bought a couple...

    Craftsman Hydro Queston

    Somewhere around my shop I have a service manual and it says to use synthetic 20w50 in the Hydrogear unit. It does say sealed for life but in the event that draining is necessary for repair to use the 20w50 syn.

    Electra Glide Standard

    I would love to have the lighted ones, they are my first choice. I however have some that have the Harley logo and just go on with two screws, I hated having to drill holes in the aluminum floorboards but got over it...

    Electra Glide Standard

    Holy Cow Big O Dave bought a bike just like mine. You gotta put some covers on those rear floorboards. Nice ride!! I think you are gonna love it. Just did 800 miles on mine this past weekend to visit my oldest son. 75 - 85 mph on the interstate is where that thing will really shine. Congrats ans...

    Easiest Oil Filters to Change

    I have to vote for my 1965 Mustang 200 ci 6 cylinder. If you try I think you could remove the drainplug from the top. You just reach over the grill or divers fender to unscrew the large and easy to hold FL-1A filter. Oil changes are literally a 5 minute job or at least just as quickly as the oil...

    I just happened to be in one of the local HD dealerships yesterday picking up a removable backrest ro my Electra Glide Standard. I of course was opening boxes of oil filters and inspecting them. I noticed what I believe were some Wix filters and definitely some Champ produced filters which had...

    Shell Oil Filter

    If they are anything like the Havoline oil filters which use a T-29 for a Toyota they are made by Purolator. Do not know they are the same but the numbering system probably is.
