Buckster

Comes in lower and climbs a lot quicker, I suspect it holds longer as well but I am not ready to open it right up yet.

Good rat bike.

It definitely has more pick-up now, probably running low 8’s but I can’t be bothered to race people. Off for mot tomorrow so looks like I will be riding in the rain, will have to watch out for the massive torque.

Did you get your shots?

Not really but with the new internal parts I will give it a service after 500 miles.

It's all back together and the new air filter system is on.

It's natural habitat.

Filled the transmission oil and fitted the exhaust headers before going to work, the paint looks pretty good, it will do until such times as I do a full refurb.

Pushrods and lifters are all in, clutch cable is attached to the gearbox. I decided to do some painting on a few bits before I refit the exhaust as it will be a pain to do afterwards so got that done and put the bike away to let the paint dry properly. Will finish up during the week.

Sorry to hear this @boboneleg, real life has it's moments.

The work is of such a high standard it would still be a bargain.

It’s Canada, he will probably have to wear a dress.

What are his preferred pronouns?

I'm going to soak the lifters overnight and put them in tomorrow. I need to replace the clutch cable and then fit the exhaust and the new air filter and load a base tune into the ECU for the cams.

As long as he is a better mechanic than you, not that it would be possible to be worse.

On the sauce again.

I think you will find that is aids and sailors.

Front suspension is a decent set up for that kind of rake. It will be for sale for about $2k soon.

That's in Canada.

Probably, like anything made in an Indian factory.

It looks like a derivative of the bike made by Hero in India for the Indian only market that is badged Harley. Like anything Indian it’s going to be substandard.
