Agreed Scared (and thanks again Scrmn)...I think we've beat this old horse (thread) to death. I know what I need to do. If I find anything revelational, I'll pass it along. Thanks everybody.

Let us know Garry - BTW, My first Harley was an 81 FXRS like your Sturgis but chain final drive instead of the belt drive you have. I had to flip that washer and service the starter a few times over the 10 years I rode her. Worst time was 25 miles from home, snowing, cold and wouldn't crank. I kicked that 4 spd over until my leg was shaking before she fired. Rode to the first light and almost dropped it over because my leg was jello. PITA then, nothing but fond memories now, wish I had her back....
