Man! I started out reading your post taking short breaths, reading fast, dreading the potential outcome. As I progressed I felt almost a cheer inside, you overcoming the fear of the surgery was kinda like watching Rocky Balboa fight. Each step of the improvements was bringing on goose bumps...

So is that a VGlide?........Quickest, fastest bagger on the road!

Any chance some rain water got in the storage tank where you picked up said petrol? We just had a Valero station here profiled in a news report for having 10" of water on top in their premium storage tank.

Great suggestion! I will add ,this not at all far fetched tip, to my strange running symptom check points list. I tell ya LOL the Max can throw even the best diag pro a curve ball once in a while.

Yea, you make room! Take things apart to get to it. Short cuts will break that plastic or castings around it. LOL, I can see the chew marks on it. Do it right, with the right tools.

Damn....tempting....

Okay, here's what I have done and it worked. BUT I could not duplicate the procedure another time, same problem. Too much pitting. One of my Tokico caliper's had the weep, I used a #3 drill, spinning fast, with a steady hand to just take the rust and pits off the valve seat. I also chucked the...

Frame flex or frame wag LOL, looks and sounds funny writing this till you experience it. Now for sure, I'll say I have never had the vibration some say they have felt with or through solid mounts. As I have mentioned before about my bike, the added length, weight and rotating mass all work...

Agreed! I welded in the back tabs. I have the RMS braces. The frame braces, solid motor mounts and a billit block fork brace will tighten you up nice.

You can do it! And she is beautiful. You'll realize an incomparable satisfaction. You are restoring a bike that was a legend as it rolled off the assembly line. Look at my 85, it had been parked since 1994. In the pic both wheels are locked up, frozen in time LOL. Look close at the seat and...

Thank you! Yea, its a MadMax Enterprise 300mm set-up. It started out at a 3" extention, room for the MadMax 5 gal tank. I had an output shaft spline failure that required a reconfigured u-joint and longer arms. Now its at 5 7/16'. That long wheel base gives it a cool stance, smoother and more...

Thank ypu! I wanted a belly pan and filler panels to hide the open spaces created by the nature of an extended swing arm. NOBODY is making such body work unless you want to pay some big buck to have them laid out in fiberglass. One day, going down an alley in a work vehicle trying to dodge all...

Here,s one shot of the adapter plate allowing for the 5 7/16" extended arm length.

Thank you FM! Yes , I have a flash drive out in the garage with the whole build on it. I'll post up the pics next couple days, on call for work at the moment.. All bolts are M-10, the top mounts are tapped clear through. The right side top mount bolt can be seen in this pic.

I took the psyco out today for the prescibed by-monthly circulation run. All my friends know I recently built a SICK,WICKED, STUPID, Powerful Torque monster R&R124TC Harley E-Glide. When we go out and I break out the Max, we all agree on one thing. Ride, run, rip or cruise there's nothing out...

FM if you had your own channel, I bet it would monetize over night! Excellent content!

LOL ,I'd like to be as precise with the carbs as I was about a little plastic emblem

Yea, I used the line on the faux running parallel to the speedo housing and a string dimension back from the forward faux radius along the speedo housing. Set the tuning fork at 6:00.

I have L.E.D's all the way around, including in my stock guages, no relays and dont know why you would introduce them. The resistors have worked and keep working. Once you get the simple, but crazy theory of running positive to ground you too can do any light circuit you want in L.E.D.. I also...

Why do you want to run C.O.P.s?
