    on my old Shovelheads I just installed the gauge in the rear cylinder exhaust rocker shaft with a fitting like this http://www.4hd.net/images/products/2hn55rc09lei.jpg Don't be alarmed when the engine is hot and at an idle when it shows no pressure. as long as you have good oil pressure when you first fire it up. Another thing to doo is to eliminate the oil crossover line from the front to rear cylinder rocker box and run lines directly to each cylinder, as when you first start the bike the oil goes from the rear cylinder exhaust rocker shaft to the rear intake then the front intake and finally to the front exhaust. here is a link to the complete set up on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/LIQUID-ROCKER-BOX-OIL-PRESSURE-GAUGE-60-LB-PSI-HARLEY-SPORTSTER-BIG-TWIN-71-/221045871045?_trksid=p2047675.m1850&_trkparms=aid%3D222001%26algo%3DSIC.CURRENT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D11%26meid%3D4232785290657694384%26pid%3D100011%26prg%3D1005%26rk%3D1%26sd%3D261119421073%26

    HF trailer

    Hawg posted a topic in Trailer Talk

    Is anyone using this trailer, and if so how is it working for you? http://www.harborfreight.com/600-lb-capacity-78-inch-tag-along-trailer-66771.html http://www.harborfreight.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/i/m/image_11385.jpg

    yeah but you can probably switch it. I had a button missing on my cassette player and just switched the face plate

    Great I appreciate it. The other thing I am looking for is one of these [ATTACH]72924[/ATTACH] if I can find it. I did find one but it is not in that great a shape. Thanks again.
  7. Hawg
    Thanks....I checked out that web and it does look like them and the grilles as well. I haven't seen them on ebay, but now I may be able to..Thanks again

    Does anyone know what company made the lights that go in the light bars that wrap around the trunk and saddlebags? I need to find a replacement for one as the lens is broken. Thanks for any info....[ATTACH]72923[/ATTACH]

    Those of you that are interested in getting a few tips on carrying a passenger may want to take the experienced rider class. Here in Pa a passenger is allowed to ride with the driver on all excercises but the first one. we try to coach both operator and passenger during the course.... Just food for thought

    Well, since I just bought this bike about a month ago the first thing was to get in running and Pa inspected. The carbs were done, all fluids changed, new brakes front and rear, plugs, air filter etc. Now I am going to replace the plug wires, install some accessories I purchased, lighted front fender bumper, trunk lights, front rotor and caliper covers, repair a few plastic pieces, and repair that pesky thermostat cover leak and it will be ready for the spring. Depending on if I decide to keep this bike or not, maybe look into a trailer!

    Everything I have read on the forum indicates that from the heat the thermostat cover warps and leaks I had thought as you that the pipe was the culprit till I removed the lower panel and then started it cold and checked it. I could then see a slight leak at the front of the housing maybe the housing wasn't cleaned well or the cover wasn't seated correctly could even be loose bolt or a hose clamp

    I see it as a two part line for a 1989. Part numbers 26H-26471-02-00 steel line 26H-26472-00-00 from cylinder

    If it is like mine, it doesn't leak while sitting overnight, but it will once it is started for a few minutes and stops. It was not the o-ring for the drain valve pipe but the thermostat cover.

    Big thanks to CECDOO for coming through and giving me the grips he had from his 87......

    Stainless steel line do make a difference in braking. have had them on past model bikes I have owned. Don't get me wrong this bike stops as it is intended to do, but brake systems have come a long way since 1988....
