SWEET!!! Hope you'll enjoy it,,,, I think the 86s ran the best off the MrkIIs, but then that's only my opinion.

WOW ZZZZZ WOW WOW WOW ,,, she's a DANDY Sarn!!!:clap2::dancefool::dancefool:GREAT FIND!!

 

Comments/ideas and tips? Yea I got some thoughts for ya,, check the tires and light the fires, ride that puppy till the wheels fall off

 

Shake er down, typical stuff - front fork springs, brake pads and calipers for sticken, battery condition, oils changed, lube the cables and splines and hit the road!!!!

 

CONGRATS Sarna!!

My best suggestion, get on it and ride, then ride some more!!!

Looking good. My 86 is over 70k now and hiding in the garage but I tinkered with her a little today. I think the 86's were awlsome!! Enjoy!! Check the brake shoes they seem to eat them but stop great not like other bikes that don't know how to stop!!!

I do not recall- does someone make an exhaust for this, so I can have some rumble?

[OrlinEngh]

[SARNA66]

Definitely, had a couple 50 degree days but the bike's too torn apart to ride

Lots of owners are putting Harley Road King Mufflers on the 1st gens. If you do a search you can find out a lot of information. One member has a youtube video of his bike and he shows the mods he made including installing the RK muffs.

Avoid those with the catalytic converter in the one pipe. I don't recall which years they did it - maybe 2005 -2010???. One pipe is pretty much straight through with converter restricting the other side. I'm pretty sure the converter is in the right side pipe.
