This debate goes on, not only because the jury is still out but much of this decision depends on the
individual. What are Your needs, how are You going to ride, or abuse Your ride? There are many concerns
that just falls upon You.
After consulting with more than eight mechanics and service managers from different
shops, their answer might surprise You. Their answer is, it's a crap shoot. You just might find those
parts that You are happy with, but then again maybe not.
There are a lot different manufactures of after market parts with a lot of tempting claims, but the main
enemy of any air cooled engine is heat. All parts expand and contract at the same rate,wear
sets in and those precision tolerance's fall by the way side after time.
So are You any farther ahead of the game? Again maybe, or maybe not. That will depend on the
durability of those parts and if they stand the test of time. If You decide to try and make Your bike a
better ride, a good place to start is www.harleydavidson.com or go to sscycle.com, two excellent web
sites in order to start Your shopping.
We all want the biggest bang for the buck, who doesn"t ? So if You want to go down this road, make
sure You talk to Your shop people, they can help You thru this process and along the way save You a
few dollars too.
