Short ride and stopped at the local H.D. dealer to get a new front master cylinder reservoir cover ... No need to worry about HD's financial status ... $10.00 for a $2.00 part :<(

I think there have been a bunch of threads on the forum about that issue

Any of you have experience with block heaters? We have a 1975 milk truck that the students constantly have issues understanding how the choke works. What im looking at is either the glue on pad heater for the oil pan or the magnetic block that is put on the oil pan. Tim, Moldy, Stan?

Lou,
Here's one and you can easily google Magnetic Block Heater (Or Oil Pan Heater). Not sure this will solve the problem if they don't use choke on start-up though ....... Thanks

Oh my! My delicate sensitivities with scary "barrel shroud" I need my safe space! You can't even have a pistol grip on an AR, so what is this for?

I need one too. Comes with the gasket right? Didn't think they cost that much, then again, spark plugs are $5ea.
