Very cool that you still have your bike all these years later! I bought my first new harley in 1993 and just bought the identical bike with 2,300 original miles. My other 93 just turned 5,200 miles
I have similar struggles Tom406. My 993 is 27 years old, but operates like a modern car and I can find mechanics to work on it. I had to flat bed my Camaro to a buddy's shop in Toronto as there was no one local to take it to and it was costing me $350 each way. There is a local Corvette shop about 15 minutes from my place, so that is one reason that I may go that route next year.
