I've been told that with a HD, once committed to a turn, it's hard to modify the turn to go tighter or wider. I haven't ridden a HD (I'm pure) and I puzzled why that could be so. This explains it.
But I wonder why, with modern technology, HD can't build a better balanced engine? Every other manufacturer has no problem.
They do and have for quite a few years now, Richard. Some of their Big Twin models have had balance shafts inside their engines since around 2005, as had their V-Rod model and their new line of water-cooled smaller V-Twins just hitting the market now.
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
