No problem. I just chose a 520 size to be weird. I think I ran an Avon SM MK II. 5.00-16, and the case is no problem. The same case dimensions (I think) as the 5 speed 91-99 maybe to 03 even.

I got the part number on the Sportster Quad Cam Bastards forum a long time ago. JD was the author who did all the legwork on figuring out this conversion.

Just imagine you are undoing what the...

HD #33334-85 ------------$20
I never measured it before I wrote this. Should have for the guys who want to make their own. But then again how much is your time worth?

Good luck, should go...

Yes please.

Try that. I'm sure you can borrow a speedo from someone. When dmv inspects a bike coming in from out of state, they usually like milage. It is just for the number crunchers for the most part.

On my 96, I kept the belt on, pushed the bikes front wheel against a sturdy object. Now the important part....I used an impact driver. For install I believe I sat on the bike while I had the new...

Yes, it's that easy. I dig the look, and am doing it myself...... +12" springer with no extra rake. Be aware, that your bike will NOT handle like it used to though.

A few months ago I built a pair of lights for a pretty sweet Sportster. Lot's of times I never get to see the finished bikes with installed lights, but today I got an email from Brandon, with pics of...

Bulb number 4411 or 4411-1 for clear fluted (classic looking), 4415-A amber fluted. They also make spotlights (no fluting), but there is no beam spread for peripheral sight.

PAR36 is the size, and...

Gearing choice depends on what you ride the most, highway, stoplight traffic, a mix of both.

Take your front pulley tooth number and divide it into your rear pulley tooth number. Should be in the...

Don't know about 04, but here's a how-to I put together when I did my 96. Has part numbers (for a 96) and also prices........

Use a bar of soap every few strokes so the ridges don't load up with material, especially soft stuff like aluminum and brass. It also keeps them sharper longer.

I love files.

Thanks for the good words everyone. I have been busy these days, working on a few orders, but just finished up this pair for a fellow Chop Cult member.

Headlight takes a standard, easy to find...

I'm late to the party, but...

Switch over to a 1980 sprocket cover, pedal pivot and your m/c should fit on the new cover. That's what I have on my 79. Worked great with paughco upsweeps.

Less common than Anderson's, but bring less money for some reason. Cherry, BT&E, and ?, also made similar ones.

So many peg makers back in the late60's-70's. Most were all from the same molds,...

You can use one of the factory head breather/carb brace bolts as a riser bolt. It's hollow, 1/2-13 I believe. Evo sportster head breathers that is.

Safety disclaimer......hollow bolts will make...

I remember in high school I had a pair of red and a pair of blue. Swapped a lens outta each and into the other. Kinda like the old school 3D glasses. Gave me a gnarly headache though.

Nowadays I...

You guys really made a shitty day into a good night after reading the good comments. I appreciate it.

I'm working on a nice and solid head/tail set right now for a member. After that, I have a...

Mine were off my Honda dirt/street tracker as well....

But, I changed them out for some off an R6.........

I used a bunch of nails in between the coils when I put the hood springs back on my old chevy. Stretched it out just enough, went back on, then took them out. Worked great.

Stoked you like it. Can't wait to see some pics on the Triumph.

Here's a headlight that I just finished for a CC member in Colorado. It is small and chopperific, only sizing up at 4-3/4" round....

It's not just an 84 sportster.

XR1000.

Looks good. Going to need some speed holes on that strap now.

S&S makes a kit for every bike. Pretty much just jet and manifold differences. I'm running 28 and 66 in my 79, I like it, but they are all different.

I have so much of their shit it's embarrassing. As for seats, I have the slimline on my rigid sporty and the banana on my swingarm sporty. Both seats use a super dense foam that most people are not...
