Cool, thanks!!

When is it and where?

Hi dave, I've gone over to vintage sledder a few times, spend most of my time over on Vintage sleds....I've kinda been taking a break from sleds to build my bike and a Mustang....my garge time on sleds had dropped off the last couple of years ...LOL I'm VIN+AGE on both of those boards... :)

The Grose jet is a great part.....One of my other hobbies is vintage sleds..I've restored, showed and raced vintage sleds since the late '80s early '90s...the Grose jet is a huge problem solver in Tillotson and Walbro butterfly style carbs.... This little part will solve many needle/seat...

Mine was too long too...I just looped it around in back of the headlight and came back across to the right side....I may re-route it.....if it was about 8" shorter (at least on my bike) it would be about perfect, but I suppose they need to length for all the different bar heights out there.. Tom

All I can say is, I've enjoyed the hell out of my Harley. Bought my Road King in '04 and to date (knock on wood) it has never been into a dealership (even with the mods I've made to it) in the 40,000+ miles I've put on her....been ridden in the sun, lots of rain, some snow storms and...

I'm kinda liking them "hoop" mounts for the fwd controls...looks like a nice start...I'd ride it awhile and see what I'd want to change at the end of summer... Tom

A great gun is an Astro Pneumatic Low volumn low pressure gun...you can use this with a smaller compressor than what you will need with a standard HVLP, which can drain a small compressor pretty quick. I shot single stage and base/clear coat with this gun and it shoots everything well.....I use...

Not stuck in the parade, but we went out a couple of nites on Yonge St. and saw alot of "rainbow" types....still had fun tho....traffic really did blow however... :) Tom

I was in Toronto last week and wonder how you guys can even consider speeding...all I was able to do was sit in traffic all week, virtually stopped......damn those roads were clogged... LOL

I have the same switch...I wired ignition and brake lights only to one side and ignition lights and brakes to the other.... I was hoping to find a switch that was off-on-on but did not have much luck...seems they are mostly on-off-on like this one... Tom

HD switched from 3/4" to 1" on their bigger bikes around 2000 or 2001... Tom

I'm 48 here ...been on bikes most allf my life...cars are an equal love of mine, and in the winter it's sleds......I built my bobber this last winter and have been having a blast on it, even though it is not even painted (still raw steel) yet.....my other bike is an '04 HD RoadKing with many...

Your '81 is similar to my '82 in carbs and electrics....I have mine running pretty close to spot on right now. I have Uni pods, and open Gordon Scott drag pipes.... Initally I went up (2) sizes on the main (heard how lean these carbs were), added the canadian needles (2nd notch from top)and...

I own two bikes at the moment....I have a 2004 HD Road King, I've done alot of work to and love the way the bike rides and sounds...39,000 miles since I have owned her and i still love her.....she is like a great wife, hot, and still can turn heads, and can handle long rides... My other bike...

Thanks grzld and hotdog, that will help. Tom

Question, how hard do the new bushings go in? I have an '82 that I plan to go to a PAMCO on....I was able to pull the advance setup out of an old head (one with the labirinth bushings) and tried to pull the bushings out just to see if I could...kinda tried half hearted, but it seemed to install...

Scott, Your customer service is top notch...and BTW I grin every time I fire my bike with those curved drags...I've gotten alot of compliments on the epic sound it makes....coming from HD guys no less... :) Tom

I use Hylomar on most of the gaskets...my engine cases (2 stroke sled engines) get Yamabond or Three-Bond.....Seal 'er up.... Tom

This is really a cool built...keep the pics coming Gary... Tom
