Im papac and im pleased to be a new member. I have alway rode suzuki's but always wanted a Harley. 2 years ago i finaly purchased a rusting 73 sportster and im just now begining her resteration. i have the cam cover & primary covers off. And i removed the jugs now im stuck untill i receave my clymer manual in the mail. Im like a kid at christmas i cant wait to get the rest of her tore down so i can begin putting her back togather. this is my first Harley tear down. Any pointers would be appriciated.

 

POST PICS!!! That is the exact bike I want to chop someday. 73 being the year I was born.

Welcome to the forum BTW!

Hi papac and welcome to HDF from the UK. You may find the Clymer leaves questions unanswered, as they are very general, so if you do get stuck buy a genuine factory service manual from your local dealer. The factory parts book is also very helpful, as it gives exploded diagrams for every tiny part of your bike, plus part numbers. Both books are still available, although your dealer may have to order them for you, if they don't have them in stock. Call into the Classic Ironhead section, where you will find fellow owners.
