Anyone ride a Harley? I decided to buy a Street Glide instead of another Corvette. I'm shopping now and need to know if I should ride the new 103" stock or do a 113" kit right off the bat.

On a side note, anyone on here done their heater core? I just bought one today. Are they really that bad to replace?

i need some tips on good gas mileage. i get about 15 mpg, which i assume isnt bad stock, but that will rapidlyyyy decline with 33s some day hopefully soon. anything from engine work to driving methods is helpful. thanks.

I'd estimate that's about right - it's the furthest thing back, so literally everything has to come out.

well since you asked - if you have a sawzall and see a cherokee with a rust free roof in the front, hack it off for me - i want the first 5-6" back from the windshield, and a couple inches down the a pillars, all the way across. I want to use it to fix mine. Kind of a odd request i know but just throwing it out there

yea it's pretty bad - I get about 18.5 with 235 M/Ts and a chopped front facia, and I drive like a dick most of the time (love that 4.0 torque with a 5 speed...what can I say)
