been casing out ways to lower the guages. looks like a yankee ingenuity setup may be the way to go if the rsd mount sucks.

that with the gauge cups used on cx roadsters and newer 48s HD p/n 69200439 since yankee want $144 per cup and the roadster cups are $17. would just need to drill a hole for the odo button on the speedo cup. the yankee good come in black and i would end up with, i think, the clean look on the 48 and roadster while also moving the indicators into the topclamp

ordered biltwell trackers. will see how they roll.



i'm picking up the black disk gauge covers from the dealer tomorrow, i will see if they have the black bars from an iron back in take offs.

compared the suspects here:

data came from: http://www.sideroadcycles.com/Americ...tock_Bars.html , also in filterable attached spreadsheet.

 

Hey Cvaria,

A while back on your thread here (post #673) you had reported a low compression reading. Any afterthoughts on this? Did you end up rebuilding the top end or something?

 

done to ignorance, that heat nonsense, and post build hypersensitivity, i did overreact and replace the cylinders but, got the same reading after, lol. The compression was off because of the cams. they aren't stock so i couldn't go by the compression specs in the service manual. lesson learned. should have been obvious from the jump but, hypersensitivity, ignorance, and inexperience.

 

 

what does your service manual say vs what you are getting?

 

Hmm.. 'your service manual' ? Haynes, Hines, or ? Harley-Davidson ?
