Hi all, noobie to the Evo section, as now I own both a new purchase '93 FLHS and a 2012 RGU from new.


Just picked up the Sport from a neighbor down with health issues, paid $5g for it in pretty clean if unridden for two years condition, 54000 miles, any points I need to spend some time on before putting a great deal of time on the shoulder of the road?

 

Nice ride, welcome to evo section. Maybe give the carb a cleaning, sitting that long, if its running rough?

 

Best thing you can do for it is to ride.

 

Good Look'in scoot
Always liked the FLHS

Brings bake memories. Had that same bike back in 92. Traveled all over on it. Loved it. If it really has sat for 2 years I'd go thru the fuel system, change the fluids and ride it. Enjoy it!

 

Check the tires sidewall cracks and go.

 

Hi from the UK and a fellow FLHS owner. As you can see from the photo below it has changed just a bit over the years!

 

Check the tires. Probably needs a little carb cleaning. Look for rust in the tank, not likely a problem. If the tires are good to go and the bike runs well I'd change the fluids and just ride it.

 

Got back down to the farm today considering to get it state inspected for license, carb went to leaking, needle valve is stuck time for the TLC touches, brake light wants to stick on when use front brake and start switch is kind of iffy, may just have to buy a new bar harness for the switches, JP Cycles has them in stock for $165.

 

Correction on the switches, found them at Dennis Kirk, in black for $90. Questions;
What have most here with an oldie but goodie like this done for bars? They are OK for now but feel narrow and short compared to what I have had, who still makes for these? Cables and brake lines?


What cautions or heads up info or trade tricks for kitting the carb? small parts kit is on the way since it began leaking out the dribble tube.
