    Emergency Belt Joiner

    If belt longevity is the issue, due to the environment or harsh road conditions. Has any considered going to a chain conversion? I know people like the no maintenance approach of the belt. But a chain would last longer and be easier / cheaper to maintain if this is the case. (Abet the initial...

    Harley's sales drop. Imagine that!

    The major issue with all motorcycle industries is demographic related. The new generation does not have 15, 20, 25 thousand dollars to spend on a motorcycle. (At this point they are buying a car.) Heck, my comfort range is 5 or 6 thousand, as I know it is not my primary mode of transportation...

    Why do I do this to myself?

    Nice VStrom Lunatic, had one myself. And lets not forget about other Baggers... since were on the subject... they also can be looked up on Google Images. The infamous D-Bagger (Which often makes simple projects hard or marries your sister. Hopefully not both.) And the T-Bagger (Who often is a...

    Why do I do this to myself?

    So there seem to be some confusion as to the current popular term for Bagger... If you use Google Images and Type the words Harley Davidson Bagger... Almost all the images are of bikes with a Front Fairing and Rear Hard Cases. If you use Google Images and Type the words Harley Davidson Full...

    Why do I do this to myself?

    From Cooter One of the guys I used to work with has a Crouss Country with 86thousand on it, and the only thing he's done is change filter and oil. (Service on these bikes is every five thousand miles.) So I'm hoping this is a good platform to do some touring on.... (Looking forward to lobster...

    Why do I do this to myself?

    Well... I just picked up another bike from another American Motorcycle Company that has closed its doors... And the winner is… Polaris err… Indian err… I mean Victory! :black_eyed: ( A lot of the dealers are having Fire Sales and dumping the bikes. ) Yes a 2016 Victory Cross County Tour that...

    High performance intake manifold flanges for 2008-2010 Buell XB

    TPEHAK I know that a regular o-ring will work fine for both applications. But if you wanted to over engineer this thing... You may consider a square edged o-ring on the head intake side where there is a flush surface. (We use these on hydraulic solenoid plates for greater surface area.) Good...

    Hard bolt removal

    I have, in the past, had the same issues. What type of heat are you using, and how are you applying it to the bolt? I have found that using an oxy-acetylene torch with a small tip directed to the center of the bolt head until you develop a red dot works. Once you have done this allow it to cool...

    Bid to buy Ducati... from Harley?

    Bid to buy Ducati... from Harley?

    This is true, but is also a lie by Harley-Davidson to cover up there losses. They were invested, like a lot of companies of that time , in the junk stock/bonds of the sub-prime loans. (Diversification through owning stock additional to there own, and the companies doing this were making a...

    Bid to buy Ducati... from Harley?

    While this is somewhat true. The shovel head motor was reliable if you did the correct maintenance... much like a women. Back then I took a FXR four times from Illinois to California. ( Willey G styled Boat Tail.) Put over 25 thou on it before selling it to a friend... With those motors, if you...

    Bid to buy Ducati... from Harley?

    Well maybe Harley is reliving it's youth... or more likely my youth. Believe it or not, at one point, it was Harley / Italia. After World War II they purchase 50% of Aermacchi and started bringing low displacement motorcycles Badged with the Harley name into the US. I know this because I owned...

    Bid to buy Ducati... from Harley?

    If you loose market share, as a business, there are only two ways to regain it. ( Simplified. ) 1.) Rework your business model and revamp your product line to be desirable to the consumer. 2.) Leverage your current assets and purchase your competitors. It looks like Harley has taken the...

    Seat question - XB9SX seat for Scg?

    I think these are the part numbers. ( Someone can check me on this. ) M0090.1AJ --- Tallest Seat with a leather like appearance. ( This is what I prefer. So I can move around on the bike more to change position. ) N0025.1AJYW --- Tallest Seat with a grippy texture. ( Does not let you slide...

    Am I out of my mind? Never mind....I am....

    The best advise I can give you for selling this kind of stuff on-line is to inventory and take a picture of every item that is there. ( This is a lot of work and is time consuming if it is a pile of parts. Unlike you purchasing a bike and stripping it yourself.) Make sure that every item has...

    Seat question - XB9SX seat for Scg?

    Get the Standard XB Seat, you will not regret it. I use the SCG Low Seat around town because it looks cooler, in my opinion. Any rides over an hour I switch out to the XB Standard Seat. It does not keep you locked into a single spot on the seat and allows you to slide forward / back to...
