Default Road Glide
I have an 04 Road Glide that I have been sitting on for about a year now.


I just started wrenching on it.


I removed the back wheel. Sprocket had 2 broken bolts in the hub.
Chain is rusted. Whats a good quality chain and sprocket? Also a quality hub?


I also removed the outer fairing since I knew the recent owner real good and knew who did the sound system. It was a mess. Does anyone have a picture of the fairing wiring so I can see whats what?


Thank you.

What brand wheel is on the bike? Post a pic and I might be able to help you identify it.

Need pics, not sure what kind of conversion was done to the rear. But you may want to source some stock parts to get it back to what it was!?!?

That's the rear hub. He was riding the bike with 2 broken bolts in the sprocket. So im ordering a new sprocket and new hub. Just would like to know which brands are good or bad.

These days I just don't understand why anyone would change from belt to chain.

Looks like your rear cylinder is leaking oil, you got your work cut out for you, electrical in the fairing, drive line broken and oil leaks.

Sure hope you got the bike cheap.

For as much work as you are doing, a service manual would be a huge help, it should have your wiring diagram.
