The statior plug looks just like the regulator plug, except it's a straight
plug, not a right angle, and the connectors are opposite in gender.
Basically it's an oval shaped plug with two rings molded into it that do
the sealing.

Just as an FYI, When AMF took over, they were still pushing new motors around  
the manufacturing facility on carts. There was no decent assembly line. AMF  
brought Harley a more modern production environment. Thank AMF for keeping  
Harley alive with lost of cash and more modern ideas (yeah but not much  
quality). Without them, there most likely would be no H-D now.

I caught the early part of the show where Chris killed her dog, and saw when
the parakeet keeled over, but then was pulled away from the show and only
got back to it as they were launching the bike. What was the intervening
plot development that led to destroying the bike? It was sad....it was a
good looking Harley, what model was it? Also, at the end of the show on his
radio program Chris said he was looking for a "blockhead" to replace it
with. What's a "blockhead"? (except of course the obvious....Chris)

     If anyone gives you a bad time, just tell them this:
   The 883 and 1200 barrels are the exact same casting. This
is why the 1200 is some 2 1/2 lb lighter. This means, if you
ride it long and hard, and give it a .010" "cleanup" bore every
80,000 miles or so, in 60 some years you will have as many
rebuilds left as a 1200 did new. This means that the only reason
for you to, ever in your lifetime, need a new bike is because it
was totally crashed or you just wanted something so different
the 883 couldn't be made into it.

Excellent points, all of them. I would add to the 'check list':

1) Tanks - knuckle tanks are only for the knuck. Pan tanks are
    different, although they can be modified to fit. My brother has a
    clean set of knuck tanks if you need them (you can guess why)

2) Springer - make sure it's the right one for the frame. If an inline
    springer was thrown into the basket pile, it won't fit on the 
    knuck frame, even though it looks like the right part.

Have fun,

Yes, a big bad bummer.  I will exhaust all  other possibilities,
however remote, before resigning myself to pulling the primary.

I did notice that on cool < 60 days, it hardly leaks at all.  Does
that give anyone a clue?  What does the stator plug seal look like?
(Never had it apart.) Is this leak just a symptom of something else
leaking?  Maybe someone who has seen the insides has some ideas.

Thanks,

I stopped by a Harley customizer near Winston-Salem, NC a couple of weeks
ago (I can't remember the name of the place) and spent some time talking
the the guy behind the counter.  When I commented on the lack of quality
in AMF era bikes he suggested that it was all Easy Rider hype and
that there is not any reason to suggest that AMF bikes were any worse
than pre-AMF bikes.  He also said that while 70's (I'm not sure of
the exact years) were stamped with AMF, the company had owned HD from
the 60's and "nobody complains about those bikes".

Anybody want to clear up the record on AMF bikes.

       Maybe you should have bought a Vellocette instead. I got
mine 3 months old with 80 miles on it for $150 because the
original owner was only able to start it twice. My timing had to
be precise within about 100 msec in letting go of the tickler
button on the carb and within 5 degrees of crank rotation when
letting go of the compression release lever. It also had such a
nice tingly vibration in the rear portion of the seat that I was
forced into celebacy untill I traded it for a Triumph 2 years
later.
    My old ULH  96" (was 80") flathead had a nasty habit of not
retarding the manual advance at parties. I wonder if anyone
beleived me when I said "I did that on purpose so I'd be wide
awake", as I walked back to the bike?

Pretty much accurate except that the steerer tube is in front of the fork
tubes, not the other way around. This was for Big Twin models from 
'46-'48. I don't know if it applies just to knucks or all models in that era.
All '45's had inline springers but the rockers were different than the 
big twins which had them mounted on the outside of the tubes.

The Stafford swap was great. Lots of project bikes for sale at record
high prices. A clean rolling knuck frame with a lot of repop on it went 
for $5,000! But if you own a knuck chop, it's probably worth it in the
long run. A WWII 45, all there, complete with mortar went for $3,000.

The show was excellent, with many $25K and up customs. Lucinda
(my 79 FX) took Best Swingarm.
