:LolLolLolLol: I once waited 2 weeks for fork seals for a set of s1 forks, kinda getting to be bull shit Long story short the forks ended up being bent. But I have a good set on a bike that I'll need them for eventually. Unless I switch to a jap frontend.
Like the headlight man! Is that a stocker off a newer big twin?
Had to change the primary cover gasket! It is actually quite a job...
While it was off i decided to paint the cover black instead of the horrible aluminum look
Looks like the chain was loose from the person before!!
Every primary chain I've looked at on an XL motor has been loose. The buddy of mine I bought my 87 883 off of (the 87's was loose) replaced the 87 with an 04 1200 and when we were going over it I checked and his was out of spec with only 4k miles on it.
He didn't know primary oil was separate from crankcase oil... And I bought a bike from him... Luckily he never rides his bikes. So the primary oil in the bike I bought was 25years old but only had 3k miles on it.
Thanks man, ha i've only had to fix one leak around the primary case, but besides that it runs fantastic. Im picking up bar end mirrors today, that should clean it up alot, and then I'm going to try and get like an 8000k HID!
As I understand it, the stripe on the rim has to be that color simply because it's going to be absorbing the light, etc. I know that's not an exact description, but it's that by design. They are a bit spendy, but then again, being visible at night is damned priceless.
I don't think it'll look bad at all, just like a set of rim stripes I'd suppose. Just be sure you're up to par on the install and have space, etc. And of course when you get them, we will all be expecting a full install and review write up!
Alrightt so i've got a crap ton of shots to post, went through and changed the gauge light, both turn signal indicators, and the neutral indicator to LED's! Gives it an awesome look! I also got my bar end mirrors today and installed them! A lot cleaner looking, and I scrubbed off my front turn signal lens's (someone before me tinted them very dark, very awkward in the daytime when people don't know i'm turning).
Thanks man! Im loving to color change too, looks pretty good at night! I actually love the mirrors too they look a lot better, and really don't vibrate that much, ALTHOUGH one of the bolts were a little too loose, and my right side mirror FLEW off, i rode back and retrieved it, found another bolt that would fit and tightened it a crap ton.
I now love them again! haha
Little bit of loctite on bolts like those goes a long ways even if they seem tight. I've lost a few different bolts out of my sportster and learned the loctite lesson the hard way
Fuse box cover, air cleaner cover and filter, kick stand, and cruise control set screw....Shit I've lost from bolts loosening
kick stand was funny. I get to the gas station to fill the bike throw my foot under the bike and.....wait where the fuck did that go!
Lol it builds character owning something like that!
