Aftermarket footpegs? You guys are making me want to modify my ride even more! But what about performance gains? Anyone try a new carb setup?
I upgraded to a Mikuni carb, and the throttle response is insane! Highly recommended for anyone who wants a performance boost.
So many options! You could mix and match your upgrades. Just remember to balance performance with aesthetics - you don’t want it looking like a patchwork quilt!
Haha! Exactly. My buddy went all out and now it looks like a custom art project. But hey, if you love it, ride it!
The 1998 Harley Super Glide is a classic! Common issues include electrical gremlins, especially with the start relay. Make sure to check all the connections and grounds.
Absolutely! I’ve faced some issues with the fuel petcock too. Sometimes they leak. It’s a simple fix, just replace the gasket!

Don’t forget about brake systems! The calipers can get sticky over time. Regular cleaning and maintenance are essential to avoid problems.
True! I’ve also heard that the main wiring harness can fray. Just keep an eye out for any exposed wires.
My buddy had a hard time with the transmission. If you hear a grinding noise, it might be time to check the primary chain adjustment.

Nice tip! Anyone know about the rear suspension? I’ve read they tend to sag if not maintained.
The rear shocks can definitely wear out. Upgrading to aftermarket options can improve performance significantly! Just keep it balanced.
I always say, ‘Twist it to the limit!’ Just don’t forget to check that oil level regularly. Nothing worse than a dry ride.
Ha! Right?! Does anyone else have a laugh about how often we remind each other to check fluids? It’s part of the fun!

Hey, what are your thoughts on the aftermarket parts? Are they reliable? I’m considering some upgrades.
I prefer OEM, but aftermarket can be great if you do your research. Just be cautious!
