No flames, but a question.  What reason did they give for
not giving you a testride, when you were obviously serious
about buying?  This is pretty standard with many other
marques, but (according to the folks here on r.m.h) pretty
much ALL Harley dealers give test rides, serious or not.

And, uh, how can you feel comfortable buying a new motorcycle
without ever having ridden it?  Or have you ridden a Sporty
before?  

BTW, congrats.  Hope you love your new bike.

Date: 12 Oct 92 14:23:48 GMT

Hi.  First let me say that I love Harley's as much as the next Harley lover.
I love my brother's '92 Low Rider to death but I just don't have that kind of
cabbage ($$,$$$.$$).  He's been kind enough to let me put a few hundred miles
on it so I'm familiar with the bike.

So I resolved myself to the fact that all I can afford is a used Sportster.
I have been watching the 'for sale' ads for about a year now until one day
I saw it.  An '87 Sportster in excellent condition, 5000 miles, oil cooler,
lots of nice extras, garage kept, never dropped - I can't say enough good things
about its condition.  And the price was little more than what other people are
asking for '70s and early '80s Sporties.

I drove nearly 3 hours to see it.  I took it for a ride around the block and
couldn't wait to get off of it.  IMHO, it shook like a jack-hammer.  The idle
was totally erratic.  It did have drag pipes on it but my brother used a hole
saw to drill out the baffles on his Low Rider.  So that should be similar.
But his big twin sounds like a heart beating when it idles and when you crack
it open, it sounds great.  This bike sounded like crap.

I WANT TO LOVE THIS BIKE.  Is there anything that I can do?  How about if I
put the stock pipes back on and install some rubber thingies?  Does the Low
Rider already have some rubber things or a different suspension?  It probably
doesn't matter.  It must be gone by now.  I'll have to wait another year for a
deal like this but at least I'll know for next year.  I want a bike that I like
riding enough to ride to work every day (as I do now) - not just one to look at.

Re: Stator connection on '89 Big Twin still leaking.

The manual says...   "Fill to bottom of clutch cover opening
with recommended fluid" Mine is a tad low, and if it *had* been overfilled,
the excess would have promptly run down and lubed my chrome 
primary and garage floor :).   Also, the capacity is listed as 1.5 Qts
and that's how much I put in.

So, I don't think the leaking is caused by an overfilled primary.

Would appreciate any rec.moto.wisdom on this.

Peace!  I was outdone, anyway.  I think Rich Stewart and the Keeper of
the 'Tude set me up.  By Gosh, Rich might have a Knucklhead basket by
the weekend. 

Cautions; check the frame.  Is it really a knuckle frame?   (frames
were not numbered, only engines.)  Engine number - does it match the
title?  TITLE! Some states did not title motorcycles and someone could
buy a title for some old bikes and make it any reasonable year.

And try to check that the left/right cases really match.  Put them
together and check the alignment of the shafts.  If they don't match,
then you need a new _set_ of cases and originality is lost and you
may as well have bought just the heads and used aftermarket repops
for everything (imho.)  <why a set?  I rather doubt you can line hone
two dissimilar cases and the new side just won't look orginal.>

Finally, I don't know what you plan to do with the bike; restore or
custom.  If it's custom, keep in touch.

frame.  Good enough to be a counterfeit.

I'm surprised that I've received virtually no response to this question.  But
I did find the answer in Cycle World, 8/92, p. 35.  So for your disinterest...

"Harley-Davidson engines, such as the 45-degree V-Twin Evolution Sportster
employed in the Buell, are notorious shakers.  When solidly mounted like
they are in the stock Sporty frame, they vibrate enough to shake your fillings
loose-especially at high speeds.

Harley knows this, and for a long time has rubber-mounted most of its 1340cc
Big Twins."

Are there any aftermarket parts that will take the shake out of the Sportster?
(I didn't know that the Sporty riders are the tough guys!)

I was going to limit this posting to Ohio, but since some people
in surrounding states may be in the area I thought I should widen
the post a bit.

I just got back from Ambrosia Gallery in the Short North area of
Columbus.  They are having an exhibit centering around motorcycling.
The exhibit includes about 5 custom H-D's, 2 Norton's and an 
Indian Chief.  The exhibit also includes some sketches, paintings
and photographs all centering around the MC theme.  There is even
a 1 1/2' cube of Kawasaki entitles "Smashed Jap Crap".

Even though having Harley's in an art gallery just proves how 
"trendy" the bikes have gotten, the exhibit is still good and the
bikes are beautiful.

If anybody wants to stop by the exhibit runs until Oct. 25.  And
if you don't know where the Short North area is, it is just
north of downtown on High Street.  I think the address is 757
N. High Street, or at least it is on that same block.

I listened to the conversations of the group, and I
just don't understand why Harley would put a battery
on a new bike that can't handle the power required
to start it, and is guaranteed to die almost exactly
when the one year warranty is up.  Any thoughts?  Any

That's right.  Everyone knows that the _real_ measure of a

Get a clue!  I was insulting people, not bikes.  There is nothing wrong

Most batteries don't die.  They are murdered.  Was the

 I believe the rumors you are reffering to were with the first FXSTS's.
 They had a problem with handling curves with frost heaves if not properly
 aligned. Apparently some were shipped with misaligned front ends. From
 what I understand, there were some changes in the springer design that
 corrected these problems, therefore you should not experience these problems
 on a 92 model.

I wonder if it would hold up on a stroker. As far as your primary is
concerned, my shovelhead primary doesn't leak a drop (chain drive
primary). I use a James lineoseal gasket which I highTack to the 
inner primary before bolting the primary cover on.

Hmmmm...  All of my teeth are still in my mouth.  Could this be yet another

The comparitive difference between an evo sportster and a shovel sportster in

riding on the other...

  Actually knuckle tanks should bolt onto a pan. What your brother probably
has are U model tanks. Harley made 74&80 inch flatheads (engine looks like
a BIG 45) the same time they made the knuckle. Basically everything but the
engine and the gas tanks were the same between the knuckle and the big twin
flatheads (frame, frontend, fenders, trans etc.). You can distinguish between
knuckle and flathead tanks by looking at the bottom of the tanks. OHV tanks
are severely bashed in. The flathead tanks are mostly round with one or two
small dents in. One could convert flathead tanks to fit with a ball pen hammer,
but that sort of behaviour should be frowned upon. ... Perry

And quite a walk it is, too.  When my '56 engine was fresh
(yea, about four years ago) I could rely upon the permanent
full-advance to be a reliable novice-humbler.  If the novice
wasn't intimidated by the first backfire through the carb
and the bellow of blue smoke in his face, then the kick-back
usually did the trick.  But now even Todd (MN's first DoD
plastic-bullet-racer to HD convert?) started it and he had
never kick-started a bike in his life!  I'm going to have
to rebuild that engine.
