Well I bought new tires, and finally decided to tryout the synthetic oil for my older bike. Been putting this off but its time...
Its too hot to work in the garage so I did it on the patio.
I replaced all three - Engine Oil, Transmission & Primary, using Mobil 1 20-50w V-twin.
While I had it up I replaced the tires.
I brushed up on the manual to make sure I had the torque specs handy and read something about the tire valve always on the right side of the bike. I noticed that my front wheel for all these years has been wrong.
So while I was at the tire shop I had them mount the tire the "right way". In my mind the spacers were the same size and the wheel should be centered in the fork- therefore "NO PROBLEM" making this correct.
Well, get it home install the wheel and torque... scraping sounds- seems the wheel isn't centered but just a little off. Long story short- I ordered some different spacers to solve the problem-they get here in a couple days.
Here's my photos to show what and how things are going.

Some more pics of progress.

Mounted - Balanced - Cleaned - Polished

Back together but something wasn't quite right, the front wheel wasn't spinning freely, seems the brake was rubbing...
Took it back off to make sure my "Correct sided valve flip" wasn't the problem... but - it was.
With the wheel off I made some measurements and deductions and realized that I needed some different spacers.
Call the local HD shop but since the "fix" wasn't in a book he could look up he was useless.

Went online found what I needed in 10 minutes and ordered them up.

Since the bike is going to be down or should I say up for a few days I sprung for a new battery, the old one was starting to give me a concern. So now I have the seat off and the battery out while I'm waiting.

Thought I'd show you guys what I'm talking about so here's some pics...
Can you tell I had some extra time today???LOL
If you notice how the spacer on the left is worn differently than the one on the right.
The fix is one shorter and one longer.
I took the before and after photos to show how the wheel position changed.

I guess I'll just clean off all my tools and take my wagon down the local hill for some fun till the parts come in. Hope you all are out having some fun.

Roadking, that's a nice clean bike you got there. How long have you had it? While you are waiting, put a motor on that wagon!!!

Thanks!!
I got it new end of September 1994, she's pampered -most of the time.
The weekend I got it home I coated it in wax on every surface and under and you name it...
Keeping it clean is another story.
As for the wagon, I saw a little something on youtube that was pretty cool - go kart with a superbike engine on it...

UP-date:
I put a new battery in it. AGM type, 23 AH 350 CCA. Aftermarket - less than half of the price the dealer wants. Seems strange that the Harley website does not give any output specs on their batteries...

Axle spacers worked - BUT - just as I was getting ready to test drive it - it started to drip gas out of the bottom of the carb... always something - right!?! Seems the carb was feeling lonely and neglected so it got new lower end gaskets and diaphram replacements. While I was fixing the carb I (decided) to break my choke cable so I had to fix that for kicks... Should be back on the road later today, I hope. I'll keep ya all posted.

Bike is back together, test driven, and is quietly resting in the garage.

Carb is holding fuel, the diaphragm was warn out and ripped/leaking.
Instead of taking the carb off, mostly cause it wouldn't budge - I just took off the bottom half - 4 screws and a c clip.
Replaced all the rubber parts (boot, diaphragm, small o-ring & housing gasket)and pump spring.

New tires are really nice, great roll to them.
Haven't done any cornering yet - I was warned to let them scrub off for at least 100 miles.
Smooth grippy feel though, did some slow speed slalom type turns.

New battery has a good kick to it, bike fires right up - it's new - it should.

Seems the bike likes the new oils - so far - finger crossed - at least its not hemorrhaging oil out of every seal.

NOW, I'm going to go out and ride the wheels off it... again!!

This is what I'm talking about.
1000cc 150Hp go kart.

this year i actually took my bike to the shop. it is a 2003 and this is it's first visit. I decided that it had been sitting for about 2 years with little to no riding. I had to have my knee replaced and was a little weak to trust the knee. when i pulled it out it has 43,000 miles on it and i decided to test the waters at the shop. it cost 2 grand to have the 40,000 mile service done, replace the battery, and new cam shoes. it does ride nice and it tuned better than i remember it running. The cost chocked me, but when you think about how long i have had it and never taken it in it came out to about 300 bucks a year....
