Just want to say hello and thanks to Grif for the HID group buy. I’m one of the “silent majority” that has been lurking in the background taking advantage of all the advice and knowledge you guys have to offer. After two years I feel like I know most of you and hopefully will get the opportunity to meet you one day.
Quick background, like a lot of you I started riding in high school (50cc Honda, Twin 100 Yamaha, 305 Honda Super Hawk, and HD Sportster) took a twenty-five break for marriage and to raise two son’s. Fast forward to 01 and the kids are grown and the wife agreed I had paid my dues so like all mid-life guy’s I had to get the HD (01 Road King). Enjoyed the Road King for three years but after spending a small fortune on chrome and tee shirts I found myself on a 05 LT.
So far you guys have called everything on the bike, the clutch went right on schedule at 7K and after replacing the Bridgestone’s with Metzler’s the front end shake was gone. Other than that she runs great and the only thing I see me trading her for is the next generation LT. One of these day’s I will have to give you my dealer experiences but in a nutshell I can not say enough good things about Hermy’s in Port Clinton, PA and you know what will freeze over before I ever step inside my nearest dealer Battley HD / BMW in Germantown, MD. There is a reason I drive 165 miles from my home in northern VA to Hermy’s.
Before I get to long winded I pulled the trigger on the group HID buy yesterday and I’m looking forward to lighting up the road. Of course I will be referring back for all your installation advice when the light get’s here. Thanks again and keep the knowledge flowing.
