Never seen the brush hog on one. Had one for sale locally here with the finish mower last summer.

This is only the second one I've seen in person
And I've worked in a motorcycle shop and had just about everything to work on over the years.

Neither, the lower bolt on the left shoe snaped and then the guide broke. The broken bolt came forward and ate the reluctor ring, thus, it ran till it did no more!

I have a little over 9k on mine.
My shop said the saw a few pump issues with the earlier 114's.
The cam went in it at 4k miles. Other than regular maintenance, no problems.

When I opened up my TC88, the shoes fell apart in my hands.
I added a very tame 509 cam, and remapped it, and was happy.
But I had a Dyna - they don't need much oomph.
My friends carbed soft tail is much slower. But it sounds much better.
The EFI ruins the idle on the HD's.
I have to populate the idle position at 5% or so to get it to rumble at all with EFI. At 4% it dies:

ANd this is what it sounds like at warm up:

I would still have the bike if I had a garage and weather and a better knee. It is just way, way too cold and wet here for me to ride it much If I were back in Texas, I'd still have it. But I am not a fan of riding a bike in 50* weather in the rain. Just not for me.

Another crappy morning drive in the gateway to the west.




But I do just fine.
