Art, so happy to here you got your bike back, I probably would have blown a gasket and went crazy. Today is the day, Remember Pearl Harbor, a day that changed the world, and who we are today. Brian | ||
| Oconnor |
Cant seem to download the video. Any ideas??? | ||
| Bartimus |
Oconnor, perhaps you need to download the proper drivers? buellish, those 148,000 miles have been some of the best times of my life. I was hoping to make it to 150,000 before i put the Nallin kit in. Looks like it goes in early. Ccryder, the list is extensive: handlebars Fairing mirrors (both) Turnsignals (all) rear disc rear belt seat exhaust pipes (headers ok) Air filter, (the hypercharger was missing) gas tank cover clutch cover left side footpeg/kickstand bracket shift lever and linkage ignition switch BETTER alarm system (pitbull?) Thanks again to everyone for your support, it was like having my heart ripped out. And like Stingaroo says, Thanks to all military past and present. Without you, we would not have the freedoms we enjoy today. Semper Fi ! | ||

Any antique bikers here? I am trying to find a place to get some plug wires for my Dad's WW2 Harley-Davidson WLA. The old 45 flathead fired up fine when we picked her up, but has not ran since we brought it home. Turns out the plug wires are shot. Anybody know of any websites, or contact for a place that deals with old Harley's, I would greatly appreciate it. Once I leave on thursday for home, I will have only limited net access. I come back to school in mid January so let me wish you all a Merry Christmas, and a safe holiday. Brian | ||

Stingaroo,check with Choptop on Sacborg,his GF,Melissa has a WLA.He might have some leads. Art,I bet I have a ton of that stuff sitting in barn,know I have rear disc,shift lever (do you mean off of splines at cover or the shifter mechanism)clutch cover,(do you mean whole primary cover or just the 4 bolt hat)seat,mirrors,airfilter,did you break the sideplate or just bend the kickstand--I have a leftside sideplate I can part with,I will check on other stuff, Hey,Rex,do you really need all the turn signals and fairing?? | ||

Cessna, Swing by my place and check out ,my J&P Cycles catalog. They have just about anything you'd need. If they don't have it, I'd give Robin (the antique Indian guy) a call. He's got quite a few contacts for that stuff as well. Do you still need rocker box gaskets? Prior | ||
| Stingaroo |
FMJim, thanks for the tip, I will check into it tommorrow. His GF??, what a find, the bike is awesome but a little different to ride. Prior, hells ya, need the gaskets. I will get the beer, we can pull out the WC and work in the shop. Maybe I will have the stove crankin in there by then. I have Robin's number some place from Reading I think. Tried getting stuff from the MVPA, but they dont have any. We can tear it up a little on the WLA, if you want to wrench on the old Honda and Montessa, I will see if I can pull them out as well. Give me a yell closer to the time. Later on fellas. Brian | ||

Bart: That looks real fix-able to me. Glad you get her back! r-t | ||
| Rex |
fireman jim getting the signals and fairings,just in case...one of these days, you cannot get them...fall over parts...rex | ||
| Stringbean |
Nice looking bike!! I wonder if that fairing would mount to a 2000 Cyclone??? I've also been wondering what my bike would look like if Buell had painted the frame white (niiiice). I'm very glad you posted those pictures!... Gives me some ideas for mine  -SB (Tim) | ||
| Tripper |
Sure It Will | ||
| Bartimus |
stringbean, if you want the fairing, it's yours. as you can see it is damaged. i'm getting a new one. a little work and it may look good again. | ||
| Stringbean |
Thanks, Bartimus... but I wasn't talking about YOUR fairing in particular, just that sort of fairing.. I appreciate the offer though! (not sure how we'd get it from AZ to CA anyway) If/when I ever have to drop my engine, I'm sure going to look into powder coating my frame white when I do! It looks really nice. -SB edited by Stringbean on December 09, 2003 | ||

Bartimus, If you're looking to give that fairing away I could use one to practice repairs on for my S2. Let me know if you're willing to ship it to Wisconsin and I'll get you the address and postage on the way. MikeJ. | ||
| Bartimus |
MikeJ, you got it, just pay for shipping. email me your address and I'll figure out the shipping. as you can see from the pics, it is cracked on the left side, and the windshield is also cracked. Insurance is buying me a new one, so I'm glad to help out a fellow Bueller. | ||
| Bartimus |
FireManJim, The bike will be going to Santafe HD/BUELL this weekend, If you can expedite the parts I'd appreciate it.  | ||
| Mikej |
Art, You have mail. Mike. | ||

Found a great website... http://www.pashnit.com Check out the curved road photo essay and this.. http://www.pashnit.com/roads/cal/OldHighway40.htm Anyone ever been to this event? Looks like a heck of a weekend. | ||

Anyone ever been to this event? Looks like a heck of a weekend. yes, several times, not to be missed, BattleTrax, World Championship trials, paved hill climb, dirt hill climb (with free ski lifts to top of hill), stunt riders, vendors, great food and ambience and camaraderie, all in the Sierras overlooking Lake Tahoe. it doesn't suck. | ||

Hey AW: In the new issue of "American Iron" they have a Sportster(4 1/8" bore)using Twin Cam Heads. Check it out. Might give you some ideas. | ||
| Bigj |
That's the "January" issue.  |
