Anytime, bromigo.

I've used this bracket a couple times with good results, even on kickstart only bikes. Accepts a stock style Ironhead kickstand and it's a nice heavy piece for easy welding.

No such thing as 'too many'. I've got 13 right now, and if I had more space and more money I'd have 50 more.

I've come across the same thing with aftermarket master cylinders. Something to definitely be aware of.

Reminds me of a sticker I saw once - "My other car is 10 bikes that don't run". haha

Congrats on having everything road ready at the same time.

There's a great motorcycle only campground near Stecoah, NC called the Kickstand Lodge. I've stayed there several times and the lady that runs the place is a real salt of the earth type. It's also...

Yeah, just keep kicking or fire it up only long enough to stop seeing oil coming out of the vent tube. I would also replace your check ball spring as they do get weak over time and can allow that...

Exactly, freedom includes a responsibility to do your part when needed for the overall good of society. People packing into Sturgis this year is very selfish. We'll just have to see how it plays out.

I also live in NC, and one big thing I will warn you about is to make sure that Nevada doesn't require a title to be notarized when a vehicle is sold. I know from direct experience that NC abides by...

Swim parallel to the shore!!

A vacuum petcock doesn't create fuel pressure or flow, it only uses engine vacuum to allow fuel to flow from the tank through the petcock and to the carburetor(s).

That's quality, sir. Some good miles and time alone in your own head on two wheels will cure a lot of ailments. Glad you had a good ride.

I don't believe that 49mm is much narrower than the 41mm you have on there now. If you really want to change it up, put a 39mm narrow glide on with a 19" front wheel. It's a good performing front...

Excellent. Glad to help and glad she's running right for you now. Ride safe.

In my tuning experience, that 28 is likely too small for a 1200cc engine. I would bump it up to a .295 and see how it reacts. It's easy to change the jet and it should tell you if you're headed in...

Your problem would suggest it's running lean. Keep in mind, the 'choke' on an S&S Super E is actually an enrichener which opens up an extra fuel circuit to give a more rich mixture for starting. ...

All the exhaust pipes don't surprise me. When I worked at a dealership we had a big scrap metal dumpster behind the building and we were pulling brand new pipes off of bikes right off the show room...

The extra tab on the throttle cable bracket was for baggers with cruise control, it held the cruise cable. The floats will swap over no problem as well as the bowls/float bowl gasket. The BT vs XL...

I've got plenty of experience, you didn't specify you could get it going as long as one cylinder had compression. I'll agree with you on that. Plenty of different circumstances where the engine...

That's a good idea. I also noted the OP didn't mention if the points cam is new or not. I've seen the narrower rear cylinder lobe be worn more than the front a few times, causing the gaps to be...

You never got one running with 0psi compression, bub.

So with almost no compression, it will definitely never start regardless of your timing. Get that sorted and see how she does. Good luck.

I lived in Northeast Columbia for a good while and I owned a bike shop there for several years too. You won't see too many legit choppers in that town, unfortunately. My brother still lives in...

I'm in Winston-Salem. Definitely don't see too many chops being ridden around here, but there are a few. Smokey Mountain Chopperfest is in May and not too far from the Triad, and I'm planning to...

That was good. You can tell he really likes bikes, all Hollywood bs aside. Really cool they still have the Ducati from the movie too.
