Hey Everyone, A bit about me, Been riding since I was 15, (26 now) but haven't had the time or money due to school to invest in to a true project of my own, other than the maintenance and repairs on my '15 Yamaha XV950 and my '06 Dyna. I work out of shop in Brooklyn with some fellow bike...

Hi everyone, I thought I'd follow the rules and introduce myself. My names Matt, I'm from Vermont and I've been using the jockey journal for info for a while without being a member. I decided to join mainly cause I have a question about a part that I can't identify and thought that the...

Hi guys - starting another build thread as the other one got a bit off topic. Here is what I started with. An ugly ass 1980 FLT that had been sitting for about 15 years, I had it running within 24 hours of owning it and it runs nice. Will need a repair on the rear head due to the previous owner...

I am getting get bad plug fouling in my 75 Super Glide. Both before and after rebuild. She runs/starts OK more or less despite the fouling, mostly thanks to the Daytona Twin Tech 1005 ignition (which I am very happy with). She always fouled plugs before the rebuild, regardless of my riding...

Hey guys I am looking into doing dome top end work on my '76 and was curious as to what the largest piston I can run in a 74" without boring the cases would be? trying to get the maximum performance while still being able to kick it over.

Hey all, I recently picked up a 79 FXEF80 dressed as an FLH and imported it into Australia. As you are probably aware old Harleys or actually any Harleys for that matter are ridiculously expensive here in Australia. Anyway, I've wanted a shovel for a long time and I've finally got one. I...

Hi all, sorry to start off with such a shocking pun, but it was there, I had to take it. I'm a 38yo Aussie bloke who only discovered the joy of riding about 6 years ago. I started off with a learner bike (Jap), did my time on that, and then jumped onto a Buell XB12R. Great fun bike, a bit hard...

First post on Jockey Journal. I must say that I'm very impressed with what this site has to offer. I've learned numerous amounts of valuable knowledge due to other peoples experiences. KEEP IT COMING!!

Hey all, I'm new here, currently building my 79 FXEF-80. I've been given a 45 springer by my dad, it was being used on a Triumph he picked up recently. He's not keen to use it on his build but I would like to run it on mine. I've heard people say that if you are running the swingarm you would...
