    Any Harley guys here?

    Not just riders, but folks that actually know what they're talking about. I'm off to look at 2 potential midlife criseses tomorrow & I'm trying to decide which would be the better bang for my buck. Both are $5,000, both have 23k on the clock, good tires & recent services, both are Heritage...

    Ugh...... rapid onset oil/gas leak

    I'm thinking my carbs are overflowing, running through the inlet valve & leaking into the sump 😖 I noticed a gassy-oily puddle a couple of weeks ago (she's been stood for a few weeks) and last Saturday decided to go for a ride, see if I could blow off the cobwebs.

    Original tacho parts

    I've tried Mike's with no success & I don't really know where else to start looking.

It took a minute, but I finally figured out...

    Sold / Found / Inactive - 80 or 81 Special seat

    I'm only really looking for the pan & foam. I plan on cutting the foam to suit & having a new cover made, so cover condition is unimportant.

    Frame differences.

    Hi there, new to the site although not to 70s/80s Jap bikes. I'm looking at picking up an '81 Special this weekend & I was wondering if anyone knew; are the Special frames different to standard? I'd much prefer the standard tank & seat to the spesh, but they remain almost unobtainable in my area...
