Hi, I have been checking out this site for quite a while and it has helped me from time to time not to mention reading some interesting threads.

I have a couple of Shovels, one Evo and a Triumph.. a full time job keeping them maintained/running.. rarely are all 4 ready to ride.

I am currently having trouble with the Evo, an '86 FLT.. Just did a complete rebuild.. most work done by myself. Engine is making a noise.. Sounds like a rod, but I am not sure.. I do know that the bottom end is right, or it should be.. Hopefully I can get some help here... I will start a new thread in the right section with more details.
