A friend of mine recently came in for a service on his '21 Road Glide. While he was waiting he saw (and fell in love with) this 2016 Road King with the teal and white paint scheme with wide white wall tires and decided he had to have it. The only thing he wanted to add was some chrome hand controls. Here's the finished product with chrome switch housings, switch caps, master cylinder and clutch perch, and some new grips too.

Early morning update of another SE Stage 2 Torque cam install. We're also updating this one with Fueling lifters and S&S Tappet Cuffs to keep everything operating smooth for a long time.

Since it's the first full week of December means it's that time of year. Time to get the Christmas tree up and decorate the house.

People and organizations don't need managers.... they need leaders. Whether it's as a parent, a coach, or in your workspace, strive to lead your people, don't just manage them.

Here's a picture from Halloween a few years ago. We were at Scarystone for a weekend of camping and trick-or-treating and we decided to enter the costume contest. Obviously a swordfight was bound to break out at some point.

That moment you realize you probably should have ridden the PanAm today.

When a build goes from wrong to very, very right... One of our friends was attempting to install his own cam, oil pump, cam plate, and a few other goodies. Unfortunately, the inner cam bearing decided it didn't want to leave the case in one piece and came apart leaving needle bearings behind in the flywheel compartment. Obviously this is just asking for catastrophic failure, so he set down the tools and stopped where he was. Fortunately, he knew who to call. Sam and I spoke with him and assessed the situation. Upon realizing we would have to disassemble the cases to ensure there was no debris left, he got the bike to us along with all of the parts. Since we were going further into the motor than he originally anticipated he took the opportunity to go full send. We ended up installing a FuelMoto 128 kit with all the fixins'. Here's just a glimpse of the photos and what the build entailed. He has already been back in for his first oil change and he is ecstatic about the power hes got throughout the entire RPM range now. I'm not gonna call him out, but he knows who he is. It's always a pleasure working with him.
