...when gassing it, i get a blip of a slip. No change in RPM or power really.
What type of oil, and the level is good?If buildin' old school choppers was easy, anyone could do it... ain't nobody said it's gonna be easy...Comment

More I look online in research, the more I agree with what you're on to. Clutch adjustment is good. And it isnt a slip like I've experienced with other older bikes. Has only ever happened when warmed up, and primary oil is at good level. So... thinking not clutch. Thinking trans inspection is next to open it up and see what I got. Who knows, I might then even find out why I'm still getting oil seeping out the primary filler cap. I suspect there is another gremlin behind the trap door.

Welp - the ironhead is no longer with me. Found a new home with a super cool dude. Made a trade that was very worth it to me. Check out the new thread on that build at: http://www.chopcult.com/forum/showthread.php?t=53065

Haha. Yea man. I highly doubt I'll be doing any of that any time soon.
I may however be swinging up by your shop one of these days to chat shovels and see what we'll be in for. Thankfully the trade bike prolly wont need as much love as this ironhead did. We'll see.Comment

Yep yep. Justin is a cool dude. He had plans for the bike that didnt really materialize. He initially listed it for a trade for a TBucket or cool Van project. That's what he was after. No initial bites so hes lookin cash now to be able to snag a 4-wheel deal. It's all good. Hes got some cool projects in the works - including the pan/shovel survivor hes working on... that I engraved the cam cover for... "Hillbilly Deluxe". Cool stuff.Comment
