    I have had a few questions about the connectors I installed, and one was "why did I install them right next to the other butt connectors?? Well, the connector was only one of the turn signals. The other side, and head lamp wasn't shot in the video! Sorry I didn't state that!

    A pleasure to watch your videos, you have thorough explanation and fallow the same belief as I do. You get what you pay for. I'm a firm believer in that. In the past I've had shops swap and steal parts and I've called them out( it got ugly once) people don't like when Big Larry calls them out. Even a friend of my ex girlfriend did some shoddy work, that's why I work on my own cars, bikes, and home now... Keep up the good work brother. I know there are some honest people out there and you seem like one of them.

    • @LateNiteVTwin
      @LateNiteVTwin  3 года назад

      Steve, first off, thank you for the positive comments! I believe in the Fueling dip sticks. I have one on my big bore twin cam! The M8 suffers from proper venting and it truly helps!The easiest way to tell if your crankcase psi is to high, look at the air cleaner bottom. Look for oil dribbling or a high oil content on the filter. That's how Harley vents the case. Bigger bore engines are susceptible to this, especially if you ride long distance and higher sustained speeds......
