What bushings are you using for the risers? Type of material?...
On this one cheap...probably something soft. Most times use the polyurethane on customer stuff as lots run apes..... I might just spin off a set tonight in lathe. Still have my durometer from racing so ill go thru some plastic stock find a bit softer plastic/ poly. Might have a set of body lift ones from a silverdo that were softer than normal ill cut up...
LOL
Wayyyy back in time... Both my Brother and I had 1968 ElectraGlides... Guess what we used for "Rounding Up" when the Cattle Got Out.!!!
Later on I learned that the XLCH was superior at "wrangling"... my Brother... slow learner... I bet he uses that same '68 Glide for such duties today!!!
Always had fun with all of the xlch bikes.....but knee not so good after starting those magnito ****** for 25 years...lol. Coulnt beat 600-800 bucks for a 61-64 in 1971...highschool. Lol
Well you gotta be a real cheap fluk to rebuild the speedo drive......lol. But i had a few parts kicking around wouldnt trust on customer bike.... this is bad... lmfao
Nothing wrong with that.. New $25... **** ads up...
Just sometimes a waste of time.... just made those bushing for bar risers. The old beat up ones durmeter at 45...so friggin soft. Made the new ones out of material that durometers 70......so big difference. Now to bang it all back together...friend keeps threatening to steal tins and paint. Lol. It does look pretty crappy......lmao.
