zzzak Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 So is the Harley a pre unit, even Triumph went to unit construction in 1963, sadly they didn't think to split the cases horizontally so they kept leaving their mark, just like your Harley. However it appears that the new Indian has a unit construction engine/gearbox, maybe you should get one, there's even a trailer hitch available. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s see what your Indian is like after 55,000 miles, not that you will have it that long, in three months time you will be riding a Honda Shadow and getting bummed by midgets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckster Posted July 2, 2023 Author Share Posted July 2, 2023 Everything looks good in the primary but I had to get hold of some suitable steel bar to make a locking bar with which I am working on right now. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get them electric as well we used to have a 3/4 drive one in work that thing would undo any bolt or snap it LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckster Posted July 3, 2023 Author Share Posted July 3, 2023 36 minutes ago, Marcel said: Have you ever seen a Harley do a burn out and smash through the gears ? Believe there alot more force applied to the output shaft than simply removing that bolt. You can jam the primary with a block or rag with the old five speed transmission but not with the six speed, you risk cracking the case by jamming the primary chain against it or putting too much lateral pressure on the output shaft bearing. I appreciate you think you know something but you all know fuck all, I have had the primary and transmission out in the past to replace the output shaft bearing as it was a casualty of driveline shock when the bike was in an accident before I bought it. I know what I am doing and I will do it properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
