A good friend of mine "Roger Reiman" was the only one who was allowed to tune his bikes, Roger had one of the bikes in storage in his Kewanee, Il. shop. It was given to him as a memento of their friendship.

Do a search for Roger, he was quite a guy, died several years ago at the "Battle of the Legends race at Daytona. We went to bike week together, if my bike was out of commission Roger would lend me his flattracker to ride, it was semi legal, lights, brakes, welded up rear shocks, and fun to ride. Didn't walk very well afterward, though. I was bitching about it "missing" a bit one day, and Roger said there was nothing wrong with the the bike, I just needed to "Ride the Piss out of it", ie open it up...I did, he was right.

Rest In Peace!
