Cool! He’ll love the difference all good parts going into it. I’m kinda partial to Wood cams but to each his own. I know it will bring smiles over the miles.

Didn't get my first motorcycle (a Harley) until I was 59. Purchased a Road Glide Ultra and learned to ride it, do all my own maintenance and completed an entire Stage 1 and 2. Replaced comp, motor mounts, handlebars,wheels, head breathers, etc etc. With the exception of a clutch recall, no shop has ever touched my bike.<br>Also purchased a Heritage Classic and completely changed it out to Vicla. This "day to day" stuff ain't rocket science. <br>So age ain't the story IMO.<br>Anyways, always enjoy watching your videos because this is how to learn and save money!
