This is now my secod set of AEs on this bike. I was running 36-40 front and rear on first set and they started cupping. Local Indie said he advises running at least 38 front and 42 rear. Thats what I run this set at and wear is perfect. Has not negatively affected my ride or handling at all.

Handrifle thanks for sharing your experience looks like I’ll be doing the same.
Looks good. Unlike you, I have ZERO interest in mounting my own tires when the guys at Cycle Gear will do it for free if I bring my wheels in when I pick up the tires.
Worst case is they mount them after hours and I get them the next day.
I respect your commitment though!
I don’t know what it is. I just don’t like other people doing maintenance on my stuff. Plus it gives me time in my garage away from my wife.
Stage 2 done. woo freakin hoo. ton o fun to ride now.
Fueling 472 reaper
S&S tappet blocks
SE lifters
SE pushrods
new headpipe
Dyno tuned using my SE street tuner (prolly left a couple HP on the table, but preserved my warranty)
Whaaaat, you put an ebay product on your Harley? Lol. Nice contrast. Lookin good. Can't believe you had the guts to rattle can that fender. Paid off big time.
I use Ebay stuff every once in a while... My fender was painted by The Factory Match. I believe OscarN spray can painted his Road Glide front fender...
Started the process of replacing broken drive belt on the Road King. I might go to a narrow belt/rear sprocket to allow a 150 rear tire in the future. Any opinions/advice on going from 1 1/2" to 1 1/8 or even 1" belt?
Pretty clean inside for a 22 year old bike. Looks like shifter shaft seal seeping and maybe the stator wire grommet. All bearings/bushings look good so far.
Boy what a difference between the parts incased in oil, and those exposed to the elements. Seems life would have been a lot simpler if HD had just put the drive system on the right side.
I puhtzed around with the mirror head that’s a bit sloppy.
I figure I can’t hurt what doesn’t work, so I used a spring-loaded center punch and dimpled the hell out of the ball to increase the friction inside the mirror head.
This was actually Round 2 w/ the dimples… I wasn’t as easy on it this time. That ball end now looks more like the moon.
To top it off, I added a thin bead of clear E6000 in that joint.
Im hoping it works… or I’ll be on the hunt for a new pair sooner than expected.

Getting prepped and ready to do the same job, only on my Dyna!
