One of the risers has a stripped thread and I already bought a set of stockers to replace both. I figure 27 yrs of vibrating the others may not be long for this world. Plus extra stress from years of ape hangers too.
I am trying to decide on a set of bars and grips.
Have not run Metz, but like the Pirelli Night Dragon that are on the Road King and also the Avon Cobra Chromes on the Road Glide
And I've always heard that a good, solid 2x4 was part of the HD tool kit.
But a 2x2 should work, in a pinch.
Not sure what you are looking for, but I think this may helpSo we noticed the little quick disconnects on the tank crossover line were slowly self destructing and we thought they would make it, but alas, they leaked overnight. So this morning I got to drain Mr. Fuel tank and pump out the last of the gas, got a little leakage as I pulled the crossover and got her out. Now I need to decide how to fix it. The easiest way would be to just replace the connectors and go from there. I want to simplify things and put in to 90 degree NPT to 1/4 in hose barb fittings and install a hose with a single fitting to disconnect with valves on both sides, should be easier.
Here is what we have now. Note there is some tank paint damage due to the failure of the petcock before I bought the bike. I am open to ideas as well.
So...we are going to let all these things leaking on a Harley just go without any comments or jokes?
It was dripping on the CHROME...I've never seen anyone who is such a motorcycle savant freak at a little gas spillage.

It was all over once he started polishing the CHROME.
Of course I drove all night to get there and may have overlooked, well SOMETHING... To be fair there wasn't any gas spillage... So I'm giving PPSS a solid Rating...I've never seen anyone who is such a motorcycle savant freak at a little gas spillage.

We HAD to disassemble the shifter and linkage in order to replace a perfectly good flanged lock nut with a plain lock nut ... which was chromed.
To be fair Mitch, it was draining steadily out of two 1/4 in holes and got all over your hoodie. Did ugly up some of the chrome, I am working on that.
Jes Jes it does... The force is strong in this one...The sickness begins.

So it looks like FE_REX helped me out, thanks man (yes I selected a gender pronoun on my own, bold I know, but it is how I roll).
Of course you could take that money, fold it up place it another pocket... Call it PATINA, along with a great story on how it happened...He said, "I can patch it for $50.00 or fix it right for $350.00."
I have no response...I polished it up this morning. Very nice....yes, I even polished the key. LOL
And as Mitch can attest, the ignition switch and motor mount area looked awful. I polished it up this morning. Very nice....yes, I even polished the key. LOL
Jes,( Si ) for my gringo amigos...Pedro, I think this big Hog has bitten Doug like a Chupacabra, si?
