Ironically my best friend has a 79 lowrider. Hes spent the last 7 years piecing it together to be in the 80s style like when his late father first bought it and rode. I've told him on more than one occasion that if he ever wants or has to get rid of it I've got first crack at it.

 

I think I've got motion sickness...

I want to see him start that bike cold with the kicker!

 

I love those early LRs and would love to have one in the collection. Just wish HD included an oil cooler on the newer LRs.

 

About a month away from being able to get the LR out. Been way to long since I last rode.

 

Same here. I haven't ridden since New Year's Day. We got some rain a few days ago that washed away the salt, but unfortunately more snow is on the way in a couple days. I think this is the longest I've gone without riding since I started in 2015. And I am feeling the ill effects!!

 

Milwaukee eight is an oil cooled engine and runs much cooler to any of the twin cam. Or is about the Twin-Cam 103? Latest Twin Cam 103 runs okay it is the 110 which gets super hot in town or traffic.

 

Sorry fellas...had mine out last week. Rode to a local Harley dealership...bikes were out everywhere...rode almost 100 miles...

 

I was off work this past thursday and it just so happened to be 75 degrees and sunny. I had other stuff I had to get done but I did manage to get about 120 miles in before I had to head back home. Awesome day for riding. Now the current weather just a few days later is cold and rainy. NC weather is crazy.

 

Need to replace the battery on mine, even on the tender it will not hold a charge. So now battery shopping.

 

Im in the same boat... what batteries are you looking at? I am thinking lithium ion.....but I dont know. Im sick of batteries barely lasting 2 years...and the damn vinerr code!
