I don't blame ya on the dealerships, they are very expensive these days, and
around these parts do not seem to know how to properly diagnose a vehicle
(not sure what they are like by you)
If I weren't so far from ya, I could run down and give ya a hand, actually I
can, just not right now, I have three jobs I must get done here (and my stuff
still) trannies are easy to fix, so if ya have time to wait, we can do it here
once I get cleared up a bit more.
We have decided we are going to sell one of the bikes. it'll prolly be the
little rigid '59 unless the '69 FLH goes first, (but it did not get finished
yet) I just assume sell the '69 unfinished and keep sequential yr bikes (why?
who knows...)

I did a search on Yahoo... 'free newservers' used one for a while with good
success then they got unreliable... I have did another search now I use
nntp.aioe.org.... have not had a any problem with it... but do not get any
picture across the street with it. But then again.. I guess I get what I
pay for...

for the binary ones.

I'm using Astraweb. Not free but almost. I've been
going 4 years on the $25.00 one time charge for a
bazillion gb of download.
