Today I fulfilled my promise to my bike that I would give her the gift of sounding like the true harley she is - I bought a set of vance and hines dresser duals to go with the vance and hines turndowns that I bought last week - both yet to be installed - can't wait. Next is an oil cooler before the riding season starts to keep her a little cooler and extend her life. She'll thank me for this!

 

pulled the heads to get compression release valves installed, tired of burning up starter drive clutches, 3rd one in less than a year

 

My heads were pulled yesterday, getting the heads ported polished, valves, guides, and drilled for the compression releases. Harley says the releases are on back order, till January 27! won't get my build completed till some time in February.
Oh well it's cold in Indiana, and it gives me more time to spend money for more mods!

 

Gently patted the cover & said (tearfully)...sleep easy my trusty steed - see you in April...

 

Did you consider a heavy duty starter?? Hope it cures mine.

 

I installed the leather covers for my saddle bags and installed a new mirror.

 

done that, still burning out the starter drive clutches, the newer models do have better starter setups

 

Going out to install my "better Lever" Santa got me. Hard choice since its in the 50s here now.

 

I've been running an S&S 107" in my 1990 Evo for almost four years, using the original starter. The 107" has ACRs and my starter clutch has just given out, the second time in 22 years, first with my S&S. I reckon my starter deserves a pension, so have bought a new bigger one. CRs will certainly give the starter and its clutch an easier time.

 

Beautiful day in Austin. Rode around Lake Travis.
