This is a look back on one of the nicest choppers that I’ve owned.  I’m sure we all do it, that is, look back at some of our past rides.

How to set your Motorcycle Belt Tension

A properly cared for drive belt can last a hundred thousand miles, and maintaining it just means checking its condition and tension about as often as you change the oil and filter.
