Spend, spend, spend,

Your wife know about this bike yet?

 

Yep.
PM me your number and after I get home tonight I'll send you a picture.

 

Oh yeah. A drunken friend spilled the beans, but when she showed up all she said was "Pretty bike". Oh yeah
If you need any extra trash cans, I'll have some available.

 

Done
Thanks

 

As Schex unkindly points out it hasn't run for a while, however it hasn't given me any problems to date, other than mentioned above. Mrs B and I have done several trans-European trips of around 2.500-3000 miles with it and thoroughly enjoyed it. With my lowered gearing (from UK to US specs) and many more miles covered it is running just fine, also wonderfully smooth now! 2-up with full touring luggage I reckon we're close to the max weight for our 1990 FLHS, but we managed to almost reach the 'ton' on a German autobahn on one trip, just wafting along. I have a slight oil weep on the front of the crankcase at present, which needs cleaning up and hopefully no more than a fresh O-ring, however it is going to be a while before it is fully roadworthy once more. Members who have bought the later 111" engine all seem very happy with their purchases.

It's disappointing to hear of your rocker box leaks, have you contacted S&S or their local agent? If the gasket faces aren't quite flat that can be easily rectified - just a thought. Older Harleys can suffer similar problems, so your engine isn't alone.

 

Haven't read much about the S&S rocker box covers warping, but I can attest to the 3 piece Harley units warping. The aftermarket versions are highly suspect. If replacing stock units, go OEM.

 

Have you got any plans on putting that poor girl back together????

 

Not being unkind there GB, just trying to push a little to get that project up and running!

 

There are more than a few of us pulling for you. We just take a shot now and then because you are such a good sport (as well as a valued and respected member here)
