Been snowed in the last two weeks, decided to give the bike a deep clean removed the tank to polish the heads and found a very disturbing fault, the fuel line form the tank to carburettor was almost worn all the way through, HD wanted €70 for a new hose, so off to the local agricultural tractor repairs (harley bashers will love that one) got a new hose and clips for total of €2, fitted today and took a test ride, jeez fecking cold but everything ran fine, lucky I found the fault now and not miles from home or even worse if it worn through all the way could of been nasty.
