Hello everyone,
Michael Tracy from the Santa Cruz mountains of CA. I don't know a lot about anything so please excuse any lack of terminology correctness. I'm old, slow and can't remember crap but I'm tryin' to learn. I have two HD's so far. The first one is a 1984 FLHTC with a rev tech top end and S&S carb. It's my primary rider but I think it needs a head gasket (oil in the exhaust from the rear jug). The second bike is a 1984 FXRP. It's a build project. It must have been crashed cause it has a funky old wide glide front end on it. It is my hope to post a build thred on this bike. I will post pics when I learn how.
Thanks in advance for your help, I will need a lot!
Michael
