Call it like I see it. Will stand by my original reply to your request for information. How about a pic of your S&S line-honed and ported cases.

And your reply to MikeT (Are the Harley manuals the best ones to use and what year) was just more of the same bull$hit

Hoarse, too bad the best part of you was left running down the inside of your mama's leg. But in this case it is understandable since your mama is your older sister.

just read the link he put up, they ported the breather passageway in the case. I was thinking the same thing though.

Hahahaha...it's like reading my kids arguing....

Hoarse: J&P has a good forum for tech. and they have moderators that know the products. My first build was a harley and I knew nothing before I bought it...I used a Clymer manual and built a solid bike. I also purchased the HD manual but didn't use it as frequently...the clymer had better, more detailed instructions and was laid out better for building.

In his defense, he may be refing to the breather gear cavity, being ported. Just sayin.

Thanks for all the info. I'm going to get a 70-78 clymer, sorry I wasn't specific about the cases being ported. I was refering to the breather passage way, guess I thought everyone would know. I'm going to check at J&P's forum too.

Your better off getting an original H-D manual, Clymers aren't that good with details and specs. Pick one up on Fleabay if you can, even if its a little beat up, maybe $20.
