1983 FXRT Build: First Foray into American Motorsickles

[Tippyman]

That is weird and the first of that era Victor style regulator I've ever heard or read of doing that. I'd unscrew the cap from the blowoff valve and look it over when you rebuild. I'm trying to imagine how that disc would stick.

Have a manual. The valve that didn't open is the "relief" valve shown on page 2. The hex cap is what to unscrew, not the fitting on the body.

I’ll check it out, thanks! The link doesn’t work for me btw.

http://www.esabna.com/eu/literature/...0regulator.pdf is confirmed good multiple times on Firefox which reads .pdfs without a plugin. The many other features and add-ons are why I prefer it though I use many browsers to keep current.

Chrome and Opera no joy. I'm not on Windows so no Edge or IE tests on my end. If you "save link as" without altering the file name you'll get the .pdf. It's too large for me to attach.

Started turning my shifter into a foot clutch. I cut the pedal pivot off and moved it forward so the angle would be better. Then I made a little bracket that goes around the alternator to hold the front part of the clutch cable. We’ll see how it goes.

Got the seat upholstered and mocked everything up. Looking pretty fucking good in my opinion.

really digging how this is turning out! great build.

Foot pegs, clutch controls, and shifter done(ish).

Front brake pedal seems pretty far from the foot peg? Bike looks great though!

If a classic jiffy stand will clear your belt drive they're much better than the bendy stock POS and you already have the mount installed. I use them on both my FXRs.

Yeah, it kinda is. A few guys I’ve ridden with have similar setups and don’t seem to have an issue though. I left the mounting peg for the forward controls, so it’s like a mini peg right in front if the pedal I can use if needed.
