OK here's what I was able to get done while I am waiting on a clutch hub bearing . . Original stainless steel handelbars installed & front brake line connected & front brake mastercylinder blead Shes looking as original as i can get her back to stock ! The OEM NOS Air Cleaner is complete with OEM original Carb mounting brackets ! as soon as the clutch hub bearing gets here I'll finish her up. Today marks exactly 3 week sense i got her !
Man, let your socket wrenches cool off a bit.
You are a man after my own heart, going OEM configuration. It shows that you truly love the Harley-Davidson motorcycle as they built it.
I am impressed with the condition of the original paint on that bike. And the chrome has not be undermined with rust over the decades.
Troy, I have to admire your dedication. You do more in three weeks than most people do in three months! Keep up the good work, your bikes look great.
Thanks Joe I do my best for the bikes I Rescue, it helps when I have most everything I need before I start ! Right now I am still waiting on clutch hub bearing, hopefully it gets here this week, if all goes as planed I'll have it finished in just about a month !
Finally got the correct bars on her ! Shes looking as stock as i can get her , waiting on some nos oem hardware to finish up the rear wheel belt pully, in the future i will be replacing the chrome engine parts & stripping the black paint on the motor ! I think the correct bars & risers make really big difference !
Howdy yall
finnaly got the primary back on, I could not get the Clutch to operate correctly, after several attempts I decided to pull the kicker cover to look at the throw outbearing, here's what I found ! Heres whats left of the throwout bearing ! After clean up & installing new bearing the Clutch works like it should !
Now that everything is working like it should , I'll post some up dated photos soon ! ( I have to wait till the sun goes down a little, when it's so bright out I can't see the display on the cell phone ! Here's what I did today , replaced the front & rear axel's & rear master cylinder plunger ! Here's the old rear axel & the new rezinked axel , sorry forgot to photograph the comparision for the front axel . . . & here is the new rezinked rear master brake plunger , what a difference, hey !?
Finally got the correct bars on her ! I think the correct bars & risers make really big difference !
Nothing like Buckhorns.. I got mine off of an 87 FXR from a friend of mine, love them.. I think their best bars ever made even though they're on my '98 Fatboy... The spread is 27"...
I love buckhorns so much that I took my stock 10-in mini apes on my 2013 Street Bob and I bent them into Buckhorns but a little narrower at 24-in.. Them powder coated them satin black, love them.. Coolest looking bars and most comfortable, for me... Everybody has their bone...
By the way that rear rezinked master cylinder looks great...👍
