Irondawgs,

I never heard about the bearing problem in the 99-00 motors, maybe this was something that never happened in Canada? I know of a few family friends who have 00's and no problems with more then a few miles on the clock.

I can't believe they never gave you the video and the other literature. Especially because all the stuff is American, the video talks about the HOG group and the family stuff blah blah blah....

Lastly, when I said apples to oranges, I basically meant you are buying a Harley Davidson motorcycle that took A LOT of r&d dollars to create, there arn't that many on the road but honda's are a dime a dozen. Sometimes you have to pay to be different, I wouldn't go to say it's three times the bike unless maybe you have ridden both and come to that conclussion.

But that's just me, I have nothing against Jap bikes since I own one myself (motocross bike) but when it comes to a cruiser, I will stick to a Harley. Even if I am a sucker for the image...
