Hey, I don’t know where to start this morning. Frankie came over with his ’05 Dyna to have me torque the compensating sprocket. His primary chain was too tight and we adjusted it and torgued the compensator nut. Last week he complained of noise and a clunk from the primary.

There were no discussions. This time, the mostly obese staff talked about embracing all aspects of the market before making their recommendations in 2020. That's the good news. Read more.
