Tech: Paint: '47 Knuck
It's been a while, some will remember me, most won't. To the point. I have a paint project comming in, '47 knuck to be painted Skyway Blue (tins) and Brilliant Black (frame and misc. parts). I've located a cross to PPG codes for the Skyway Blue, but can't find any info on the Brilliant Black. So, anybody know ... 17 Apr 2007 19:55

Question about plugs.
Anybody know what year Harley switched from short throw to long throw plugs for shovelheads? I used to know the answer but now that I own a Victory, that kind of thing is leaking out of my brain. -- John "blood flowing from ears" Corliss BS206 ... 11 Apr 2007 00:42

Where Can I Find Boot Socks?
noone wrote: I bought some dedicated biker boots that come well up my calf, but I need some socks that go that high. They also need to accept a 18" calf (lots of sports when I was younger).

Einstein

He stated that he was attracted to Elsa because she was well endowed. He postulated that if you are attracted to women with large... 18 Mar 2007 19:06

Best 1200 Sportster windshield???

She's really getting tired of the wind blast, though, and has been asking around about the best aftermarket windshield to buy. She'd like to stop wearing ... 27 Feb 2007 22:18

'Gathering of Eagles' to protect Vietnam Veterans Wall
>http://www.usvetdsp.com/feb07/eagle.htm The OP was sent for a friend with good intentions so this "don't take this personal" qualification goes double. Butt that site's seeming raison d'etre (pardon my French) is that "anti-war" equals "anti-American". It occurs to me that both sides in that particular argume... 17 Feb 2007 09:10

Damn! This is gonna sound like Spam but here goes! I bought a HB-125 primary chain tensioner of Ebay. I was a nay-sayer about this automatic tensioners but a buddy put the HD one on his ride and likes it so I bought the HB-125. The bike shifts like a damn Honda, nice a smooth with a quiet little click instead of... 14 Aug 2006 14:10

Help! Front fork lock key jammed
Ok, I have a serious problem and need help! My significant other left his Harley in the driveway before going out of town, and tossed me the key, asking me to move it so I could close the garage door. I was able to move it, but when I went to lock the front fork, I guess I turned it a little too far to the right...... 30 Jul 2006 17:58
