Performance Mods!: | Waiting to see if this motor holds up before I dump any more money into it. |
Problems/Miles (Please be specific): | Compensating sprocket fell off at 1800 miles and the dealership told me that it had been "repaired". 100 miles later it fell off again. They attempted to "repair" it again. When their attempts to "repair" for the 5th time failed, they decided that the GREEN LOCK TIGHT was not going to work. Finally, they decided that it was time to change the motor. This is where it gets really bad. I got the bike back from Hacienda 2 months later. The work that had been performed was sub-standard to the point that I had to load the bike into my truck and take it to Harley-Davidson of Tuscon. They agreed to fix all of the prior installation work. i.e. (leak on the primary cover, ignition cover was installed with the wrong rivets, there were lock washers, spacers and isolators missing from the exhaust system, all bolts on the exhaust mounts were loose, washers were installed on the front shock mount (where they don't belong), front motor mount was ripped, motor alignment was dramaticly off, oil lines were laying on the muffler and the heat shields were missing, the exhaust was leaking, the rear fork mount needed to be replaced, the wiring was routed incorrectly, and the carb was leaking). I could go on, but I am getting typing cramps. I am currently going through the 2nd break in period. I have had this bike 4 months and only had it in my possesion less than 1. cosmetic damadge My own fault. broken carrer on my suppertrap |

Life History/Philosophy: | grew up in a small town in montana and have loved any thing that has a motor since I was born. My mon had to put me in the car and drive me around to get me to go to sleap as a kid. I have owned numarous bikes and vehicles of all sorts. I allso am known for breaking and pusshing every thing I own to the max. My philosophy is no more than to have fun you only have one life and dont wait for old adge to get you. |
