Pissed-off FatbobThis is a tough one. I've know Fatbob, a Vintage motorcycle dealer, mechanic, and H-D restoration expert for several years. He's helped me and several friends with rare-to-find parts. Fatbob has been in the business of Harleys since I worked at Easyriders in the early '70s. He's what Lou Kimzey, my boss, would call

So much has happened since the last story that it will be difficult to encapsulate everything in one short tech, but I’ll give it my best shot. We last left off with the front-end basically done. We ended up going back in and cutting the springs another inch and we will most likely get rid
