 I guess that didn't apply to me. In my younger days, while under the 
influence, I on many occasions
started my old Triumph and attempted to ride home. The kicker and Amals never
stopped me but the chain looped through the back wheel always did. Seems
I always forgot about that. The next day I would pick the bike up with a
truck and extract the chain from the wheel, spokes, swingarm. I
eventually learned to stay straight if I was going to ride. Much better
ride anyway.

I've had my 1991 1200 Sportster up to 80 mph and I don't recall that it ever
shakes excessively. But then, it's the only bike I've ever owned, so to a
Honda rider it might seem like alot of vibration...

All my sportys shake but I kind of enjoy it.  Can you fix it, not without 
a new frame, but then it wouldn't be a sporty, would it.  YMMV

	Ah, but you don't know half the story.  See, my bike *is*
so much better than other people's.  The reason is because I built
the damn thing, I tune it, I fart around with it on miserable
Saturday afternoons, and most of all, because it's mine!  So there!

	So what if the engine cases are Honda?  The rest of it is
mine!  So what if it wasn't ready for the Ride and Feed?  It looks
better in my basement than any Goof2 on the street.  So what if I'm
going through riding withdrawl?

	Look, if it does what *you* want quite well it is most
likely better than other people's.  If you disagree, I'll trade
you any Harley for my rat cafe racer strait across.

It's an 89 Big Twin, and you're right it's the stator plug that is
leaking, not the reg. plug.

if an overfilled primary is a possible cause, I'll have to check.  I 
recently changed the fluid.  ...thought I checked the level like the

Organization: Western Kentucky University, Bowling Green, KY

I saw in a prior msg that someones dealer told him that AMF had owned
HD for 12 years before the 72'.  Chronology is as follows:
1965 -- HD goes public and issues stock
1968 -- a company called Bangor Punta (no I'm not making this up)
makes a run on HD stock.  Mgmt viewed this as bad because BP had a
reputation for buying a company and then selling off all the parts.
1968 -- AMF does a friendly take over.
1972 -- Harley production goes way up cause of all the smaller stuff
theywere contracting out.  Unfortunantly quality goes down about as
fast.
1981, June 16 -- HD management completes leveraged buyout of HD.  No
more AMF.
June 1986 -- HD goes public and makes a stock offering

So was AMF bad for Harley?  Probably not, simply because Bangor Punta
was well known for disassembling companies.  Yes the bikes had some
quality control problems in that time frame, but without a white
knight HD probably wouldn't be around today.

     Actually, it was on a *very* flat dry lake bed. Friends
with XL's and XLH's accuse me of having a stroker. I haven't
had the engine open enough to find out for sure as yet. I
noticed the factory manual for it lists the redline as 6800
instead of 5800 like other members of the XL series. I called
to ask about this and was told it was NOT a misprint. I also
noticed that the (pre-EPA) Bendix carb is huge, even as compared
to the Eagle Iron addon job. Maybe the CH version is just made
hotter than other XL's.
  BTW, the Bendix carb used on Harleys looks like the one that
was used on the early 6 cylinder Corvets, does anyone know if
they are the same?

I know this topic has been beat to death, but one possible cause that I  
have never seen mentioned is spoked wheels.

I have had similar wobble problems in the past, and both times it was  
caused by loose spokes.  If you have spoked wheels, take out your spoke  
tightner and make sure your spokes are all nice and snug.  You should  
*always* check spokes periodically, wobble or not.

About a week ago, I posted something about putting a deposit on a '93
XLH883 Standard at HD of Baltimore.  You might remember that I requested
a test ride on one of the bikes in the showroom, but was told the bikes
weren't ready yet.  Another r.m.h reader (Dave Svoboda) followed-up with
a question to me about buying a bike I'd never ridden...I started feeling
a little nervous...I went back to the HD shop last Saturday to discuss
accessories and financing with the dealer, and several times I mentioned
to him that I REALLY wanted to ride an 883.  He checked with his mechanics
and said I could ride one if I waited about an hour, because somebody was
coming in to pick a new one up they were working on.  We talked a little 
while longer, then he told me I could take a ride on the 883 Hugger on the showroom floor.

I rode the Hugger...I came back a little disappointed.  The shop owner
could tell immediately by the the look on my face...he says, "Uh Oh,
looks like you expected the 883 to run like your brother-in-laws' 1200,
didn't you?  That's 1/2 inch per cylinder difference in those motors, ya'
know."  I just nodded in the affirmative...

I'll be getting the 2-tone Victory Red XLH1200 sometime in January or 
February...

I've built an AMF era bike from the ground up, and there's only one flaw on
it that can be attributed to AMF. On the inner primary, the starter housing
boss roll pins weren't located correctly. When I installed a Prestolite
starter in place of the Hitachi, the starter shaft was out of alignment so
that the starter drive hit the ring gear (shaft too low). I tried several 
different starter housings and the only one that fit was the original.
The cure was simple: relocate the roll pins to move the starter up. 
Problem solved. This was most likely caused by part matching during the
assembly process.

This bike is now the basis of a Ninja burning 98ci street bike. It is holding
up well under these extreme conditions.

It is important enough to get all imput so let me add my x0 bits
worth.  I found that the forkbrace on my ride was not installed
quite right and contributed to wobble.

Keith Bernstein * I know  this topic  has been  beat to  death, but  one
                  possible  cause that  I have  never seen  mentioned is
                  spoked wheels.

   Though my  problem turned out to  be a combination of  windshield and
   alignment.. That is a good point you brought up... I'll check them in
   the AM.

Subject: Renting HD in the USA?

We are some norwegian students planning a vacation in the USA,
and want to ride from the east- to the westcoast (and back again?),
or the other way around, on HDs.

We have some questions concerning this:

- Does anybody know where and how it is possible to rent HD.
  Do you know the prices too?

- If renting is very expensive: How are the possibilities to buy 
  some bikes and sell them after the vacation (will it take to
  long time to buy, sell, problems wth assurance, etc.)?

- Do you have any other information/experience that would be
  helpful for us?
