I am looking for a good Indy to work my XL1200C, Looking to put new pipes, 10" apes, and finaly get that carb cough fixed :clap

I see you're from Indy...
So, you're looking for an indy from Indy?
hahaha


sorry, I couldn't resist.

Stick around here, get the Factory Service Manual, and you can replace your own pipes, bars and rework your carb for a fraction of the cost...

got one off e-bay today and also got an after market manual to help....sounds good to me

If ya got any problems give us a shout someone here sould have the answer for ya

pipes are easy , bars arn't hard but take your time with the wires and don't cut thm all in the same place or you'll have a big knob of connectors to worry about , and do them one at a time to make it easier

If I can rebuild an old 66 ford short bed truck, I know I can do a sporty...just finding the time. Also the truck had four tires and if it wasn't rite it just stoped on the side of the road, if your sporty goofs up hold on son!!!!

I don't know how to do it or I'd have quoted flathead as well. You're talking some easy stuff here. Why pay 55 bucks an hour to have it done AND there's nothing that matches the pride of saying "I did it myself".

True that!!!!!

Whaddabout voiding the factory warranty? I too would like to do pipes & a/c, jets....I'm pretty handy with a toolbox :rolleyes: The only thing holding me back is, I don't want the dealer holding me hostage claiming I F'd up my warrany.

My warranty is up in Feb of 2005 so warranty is not a problem here. They got you when it is still under warranty...but I have heard as long as you keep proof of what you have done as far as checkups (oil changes ect.) they can not make you do your service with them. first 1000 mile check up is manditory with the dealer after that the ball is in your hand. I am sure all stealers are not the same!!!

The warranty crap really gets me p.o.'ed. I go thru this all the time with the local dealers telling customers I can't do pipes, service or whatever or it will void thier warranty. It is absolutely BS!!! Keep records of requires service and you or anyone can add aftermarket parts and not void your warranty, this acording to Federal law (Magnussen-Moss Act 1974) This protects consumers and the right to do what you want to your vehicle. If the dealer gives you trouble contact SEMA and they will back you on warrany claims. The only thing that the factory doesn't have to warranty is the parts you put on or any damage caused by the part and they must prove that the part caused the damage. Also if you are told that service work has to be done at a specific place or specific product must be used (H-D Oil, etc.) to maintain a warranty, ask the dealer to show it in writing. They won't show it because if it were true the law says they have to provide the serviceor product free of charge for the length of the warranty!! see SEMA.org for info
