got the pm. when will the trans be there? i can stop sunday am.

 

I talked to him a little while ago and he'll be dropping it off tomorrow some time. Most likely after noon.

Thanks!

 

i was going to watch the race in the afternoon. post here when the trans is there. i'll stop after the race if that works for you.

 

That will work great for me.

 

The 87 FLHTC that I got was about along the same lines. The more I dug into it, the more I uncovered that was wrong. I knew the previous two owners of my bike and thought they knew their ****. Twas not the case. And to make matters worse (neither have fessed up) every nut and bolt was RED LOCTITED!!!!! Absurd.

Good to see your buddys bike is in good hands now though....

 

That hurts when you get into something like that where you know the previous owner. It really can put a damper on the relationship.

This bike was just the opposite of the red lock-tite. I took half the bolts out of the primary without using a Allen socket, I guess he was relying on all the black silicone he used to hold it on! The rocker covers were torqued to, I'm guessing, 30 in. lbs.!

Oh well, if it weren't for those "I-can-do-it-by-myselfers" we wouldn't have anything to talk about.

 

The trans is here. I know it's late but I'll be up till about 9ish. Give me a call and we'll set something up.

 

It was GREAT seeing you again Bagga! Thanks for stopping by, it was refreshing hearing what you had to say, coming from somebody with experience with the same year bike!

 

hey, no problem.
