Great job on your build! I'm sure you're enjoying it.

The positive cable runs under the starter motor on my 90 FLHS.

 

Thank you, sir! Went ahead and moved it. Looks better that way.

 

My OCD is getting a workout with the stock ignition module mounting studs. I think I'm going to get in there with a mini cutoff wheel, then hit it with a drop of black paint.

 

Something of a milestone: The motor is all buttoned up.




Got the ignition installed and timed and all the wiring tidied up. Watching that LED is hypnotic.

It is isn't .
So I bet you didn't see that oil drip Huh _________ Just kidding

Look'in good Sir

 

 

You mean you missed the oil dripping while he was spinning the motor. Pay attention son

That's not oil, it's seafoam!

Here's a question: The factory rocker bolt setup was a fiber washer under a steel washer. Had the devil's own time getting the old fibers off, too. Anyway, the Cometic kit came with fiber washers AND copper washers, and no instructions. Lacking a better idea, I sandwiched it all together: fiber then copper then steel. Any experience with these? Any reason the sandwich is a bad idea?

 

You assembled them exactly the way they were meant to go...

 

The copper works like a slip washer so you don't do any damage to the fiber gasket..
