Went to a meet this summer with a buddy. Just before we got there he asked what I was lookin for. "Don't have but 100.00 to spend. I'd like to find a caddy air cleaner, or a polished aluminium pan for the new small block" First booth in the gate, caddy air cleaner, 100.00, got it for 75.00, less than five min. later, polished pan, cherry 10.00! Still had enough cash for lunch!

I was so excited about getting rid of her,I stumbled on the keys !!!!! The "T" is a type-o!! Traded her for a 1986 Low Rider custom. Kept it 3 years and upgraded to a 1997 Soft Tail.I still ride the Soft Tail. If it gets to bad on the home front,I highly recommend this swap. The H-D never complains if you stay out late or decide to ride something else and it is a LOT less maintenance !!!
