This has been the trio from hell and my problems haven't stopped and we r getting ready to hit the road home.. Keith's ignition went out, my return oil line blew, starter shaft snapped, and now I got no rear brakes... go figure right.. but ill tell ya what, good people are hard to find, met Eric in person a while back and I feel whenever I'm in Dallas we always need to at least have lunch, solid guy.. ur awesome and I owe ya more then u know!

Damn your buddies bike is low! 
Does he have air ride on that thing? 
Hope he ain't trying to ride it like that, could be a problem turning.

Yeah he has air ride that works when it wants to.. lol.. I'm trying to convince him just to get the regular shock set up..Nice pics Kel!
No problem anytime..we don't have a Harley dealer network to fall back on.
If we aren't there for one another we are up shit creek without a paddle.
Happy to do it and do it again if needed. If I had more time I would have put some new contacts in that starter!
Sorry I didn't come out last night to Strokers how was it last night? Weather was perfect!

It was closed, we ended up hitting up some kind of strip full of bars near downtown Dallas or in downtown dallas.. lol.. I really appreciate this more then you know bro! U ever need n e thing and ur in my neck of the woods, lemme know. A bed to sleep, whatever..
Closed?No... The bar is open till midnight on weekends. Did you drive by it did you look online?
You probably looked up Strokers the dealership which closes earlier.
Strokers Ice House is actually separate listing.

Great Job Eric. I like to see when people can be their to help others. We are like a big family. 
Very weird the brake line rubbed through the braided line. Honestly I would have assumed it would have been the oil way around.
Actually come to think of it that might be your rear brake issue. Those hose clamps may have rubbed through your brake line too. Check that first before you replace the master cylinder.

The master cylinder has been seeping since the day I bought it.. usually check it every 500 miles or so, didn't check it before I left. Filled it up before we left Dallas and it was just fine when I got home. It'll never leave a drop of fluid on the floor but u can see the seepage where the rod come out.

We stopped every 100 miles to refuel a our bikes and us lol, and it was well above the line on my dipstick.
Starter should last you the season but eventually it will need to be fully rebuilt. We just slapped in jackshaft.
I'd consider this winter buying that new upgraded starter from Derrick and Donna and putting the one you have on the shelf for a spare.

Oh yeah no doubt.. it's his release valve.. he wouldn't listen to me when I told him to leave it alone and just add air when needed, he airs it down after riding every time and u gotta think that can't be good. That one ring has to reset itself everytime do that. So he was able to air up quite a bit to where his bike sat as high as mine for the ride home.

So a buddy of mine wants to buy a big dog from dream machines and wants me to go to Dallas with him this coming weekend to pick it up... I'm starting to think Dallas don't like it when I roll solo with my bike.. last time I rode my bike there it cost me 526 for a tire.. yeah that's right ONE TIRE.. lol.. and this time cost me not much thanks to Eric but a lot of time.. lol.. might be back in Dallas next weekend brotha! Lol.. 268 mikes from my house to the area I usually stay at..
