That was very helpful and really helped me find what I was looking for Ironhead Education thanks very much. I read a essay about this here https://www.topwritersreview.com/reviews/essayplanet/ somewhere they have the best information type essay and I wish that you guys like it too.

When you choose www.college-paper.org/pay-for-papers/ to pay for papers, you must be very careful. A paper written for you by someone else could contain poor quality and plagiarism. Furthermore, you might not get your paper back after paying. Besides, your personal information may be published online. Another risk is that the company may use parts of your essay in writing other papers.

Sorry if I repeat others, I havent really read all the input so far

Like any older HD, most work done over the years varies GREATLY. Frankly most was done on a skinny budget, figuring out things as it goes, and pretty much using wore out parts and a hammer. And thats how I was on my fisrt sporty

I will say after having a '80, first and foremost it was just too small for me. I'm not a real big guy, 6', 200 pds, but it was just too small. But they are VERY easy to work on, engine, tranny and all Myself, I had all sorts of issues with the clutch. But again, I had no real clue of what I was doing, even with a manual. I just banged away to keep it running

Charging issues were also a prob. But most of those probs were mostly caused by me, hacking away and making parts last as long as I could

There was a bastard year(S?), cant remember, that really no one made aftermarket parts for in the pipes and I beleive rear master cylinder department (and maybe some other parts), due to a design change that I never understood why it was done in the first place

Frankly, an ironhead would make a great bar hopper and around town sled, but as far as long jams on the I-state, probably not so much

Watch the "Just rebuilt" statement: If you dont have the experience to see if it really was, bring someone with you to check it out
