I guess I'll start another thread about another engine rebuild. I've got some questions; most important, the flywheels. This is where I went wrong the first time. I'm planning on sending them off to have them professionally rebuilt and balanced, who does this (would like to use a Badweb sponsor but I PM'd one months ago but no reply) and what's a ballpark figure as I'm on a shoestring budget. Also, has anyone ever used hard oil lines, on their Buell or something else? I'd like to add a little flair with some hard copper lines connected with rubber ends of course. Also, after the latest disassembly I think I'll try and move the rectifier to where the horn was originally located, behind the left side pod so it will still get airflow. Anyone tried or seen this? I have a second bike so it's not a hurry up and get it done like last time, want to take my time and get it right but I am anxious to ride it again. It's been much too long. | ||

For any or all bottom end - flywheels, balancing - you name it, you'll NOT go wrong with Dark Horse Crankworks. They are Paul James' historical "go-to" shop. I've used them twice now. They're not the cheapest but they KNOW these engines. http://www.darkhorsecrankworks.com John Dahmer will do you right. Tell him you heard if from Slaughter on Badweb. I don't get a kickback, discount or anything but he's been super helpful with all MY stupid questions. I would NOT want to put rigid lines on the bike because of the risk of cracking. IF YOU HAD TO, you should use annealed stainless brake lines, NOT copper. It'll be a major project to get it done right unless you have experience in forming the tubing. | ||

Your engine is rubber mounted. You CAN'T use non-flexible tubing. I bet you could get away with it on an older sporster though. | ||

OIL LINE "HOSE" is the correct answer !!! |
