I think that is the main reason. Harley has depended on biker wannabes and poseurs for many decades. They found that if they deviated much at all...
Just a bit of a nitpick: the HD plant that is closing is in Kansas City, Missouri, not Kansas. I don't think it's too much of a surprise, they've...
What makes you think you're getting "too much front brake"? Maybe the back brake is just working much better than it had been.
Back in the sixties Honda raced a 5 cylinder 125cc GP bike. And Suzuki raced a three cylinder 50cc bike. Pretty damned impressive.
If you're that close and the rivet is looking good, I'd call it a day. A tenth of a millimeter isn't going to be that critical. Looks like it's...
What does it actually measure? It's easier than trying to figure out what you mean by saying "it's off by ~0.1-0.2mm from lowest range for DID...
The manual calls for a final diameter of 5.55-5.85 mm. So I'm guessing you're around 4.5mm. Yes, you can crack the the head if you go too far....
You don't want to try and get it too bag, that's liable to create cracks. When I mentioned swaging, I was talking about how much material has been...
How much have you swaged out the material of the pin? What is the diameter of the pin now? That's the only way to tell positively. It looks okay...
Tom Petty was reported dead then not dead. Which makes sense because you can stand him up at the gates of hell but he won’t back down.
This guy a racer? Never mind, I thought he was somebody, but googled the name and found out differently.
I think that should read "would have been a grammar Nazi".
Go by the instructions included with the tool kit. Slow and easy, and a dial caliper to measure is easier to read than a vernier for those very...
I have a lot of lead stick-on weights. If you need some give me a yell. I hate the steel ones and bought a bunch of lead ones.
Sorry to hear about it. Sucks to get hurt, but to get hurt when you're not doing something fun sucks even more. Heal quickly and well.
I wouldn't fixate on the Snell certification too much. Unless they've changed their methodology I would buy a DOT approved helmet rather than...
The rear brake on my '99 was pretty horrible until I switched to HH pads. Now it works very well. I sometimes wonder if the linked brakes might...
What year are you referring to?
This is very true, but it's never happened in over 50 years.
Replace the valve stems with the angled ones, makes checking air much easier. I've never changed out valve stems other than to change to an angled...
Separate names with a comma.
