Finding myself in an overall more generally pissed off disposition..., even contemplated gnawing an arm a off few times
Do realize this stuff takes time - still doesn't make it any more palatable

Nothing worth having comes easy. Needed some stuff for my FLD. Had to wait for semi annual profit sharing check to arrive. I can afford the parts now, and will order soon. I've held off riding the "new to me" bike, until it is exactly as I wanted it.
I DO understand. Shoot, I still don't have a permanent plate yet. Hope it all works out RIGHT for you... tp dd50
Bought a HF Jack/Lift. Need to mod it today and give it a try. Got the 2 year warranty no question ask and figured after 2 year i should have plenty of coin saved for a nice one. Also rode the bike into work today little cold at 30 deg but should be 50deg when I leave.
Heard a ringing on the way to work at lower speed but not at idle. Much like a washer slapping around. Get to looking around and the upper air cleaner bracket snapped clean in two where it folds over to mount to the throttle body. Luckily my buddy who owns a shop has one laying around. I see what I get to look forward to doing after work.
A little update on my build. Engine back together, exhaust reinstalled--not much to see here. Replaced the stock clutch spring with the heavier SE spring.
Primary cover off, original spring....
Spring retainer and spring removed. Camera batteries dying....
New spring and retainer installed, torqued down. Clutch adjusted.
Note: This spring is quite noticeably stiffer than the stock spring, to the point I really wouldn't look forward to spending a long day in heavy traffic. I don't think it normally will be an issue, though. If it is, an extra plate clutch pack with the original spring would be a viable option.
Set primary cover back on to keep bugs and debris out for the night. Tomorrow I'll polish the primary cover, put a new gasket on, and torque it down. Plus, I have a nifty new "old" H-D "Wing" derby cover for it I'll install as well.......
Wow, didn't do anything that cool today. Just ordered a new Rifle windshield and JESCustom lower wind deflectors. Guess I'm more into comfort lately than speed. Must be, traded my Concours 14 for the FLD. I'm ok with that, but the C14 sure cruised the highway like riding on a sheet of smooth glass. tp dd50
