Bill,

You keep the shiny side up. I am preparing for a cross country trip. A coast to coast run of about 7000 miles.

JimmyK, Hippo , myself and a couple of others will be finishing off the trip with a canyon ride through Arizona and Utah.

I think 96 was the best year that Harley made, I have a 96 Fatboy that runs like a striped-assed ape. Never gives me trouble except for once I had a battery die while out on a run.

Good luck and enjoy the trip to Sturgis (Miss.)

  3. Piston Gaulding and Knocking

    Twin-Cam Engine
    Yesterday a customer brings us a 2001 Deuce. It's an 88 that's been 95'ed about 7000 miles ago. He says it has ran perfect until the other day. He had been out riding, brings it home and parks it in his garage. A few days later he gets on it, starts it and immediately it starts knocking. We...

  6. Lowering compression with gasket thicknesses

    Twin-Cam Engine
    Converting my 88 to a 95 and the pistons I have are specific to my heads, so I'm not getting different ones, but they're rated at 10.5:1 compression which is a little more aggressive than I'd like for this particular bike. My question is how much gasket thickness should I use to get that...
