    Finally got up the courage to cut my 5th gear dogs today. Set it up in my drill press with an adjustable angle vise. I thought this might help keep it straight and I should be able to do the back cut also by angling the vise. Need to get a new stone first, will try that tomorrow night. I just rotated the gear and vice lightly around the stone (as it was turning, of course!) following the curve of the dog. Two dogs started at .0476, the other one was .0484 dimension across the widest part of the curved faces. Cut all three down to .0466 +/- .0001. Looked pretty good, and I believe all the rounded top is gone. Did not grind the other side (deceleration side) as I could not see any rounding on them. Will also try to backcut the slots with the vise as I can duplicate the exact angle I used on the dogs. Thought it might be easier than doing "freestyle" with the Dremel tool. Here are some measurements on the old and new thrust washer and clips and the clip groove in the driven axle: Plate washer: Old 1.98mm thick 25.23mm ID 4.38mm wide (ID to OD) New 2.02mm thick 25.28mm ID 4.38mm wide Thrust clips Old 3.06mm thick 6.67mm width groove cut in by wear .85mm New 3mm thick 6.5mm width Groove on shaft where split clips go-- 3.22mm So, I guess, there is meant to be about .15-.2mm play in the groove where the split clips go? I hope it's ok, 'cause I really don't want to spend $225.00 on a new axle. Any thoughts? I can't figure out why they would make the "new" split clips thinner than the old. Couldn't see much rounding on the pressure side (outboard) of the groove in the axle. Here are some pics Hey, I work in this garage, ain't got time to keep the bench lickety split clean!!!!!

    Not sure, but easy to check cause you goota remove the pump housing anyway to split the case. Too bad you ain't got it apart yet 'cause I'd get those gears off of ya right now!! Also check your thrust washer and the split clip that holds it on the driven axle for wear. They are right at the end of the pinion (middle) gear. Dan

    If you're opening up the bottom end, I would change all the oil gallery orings, shift shaft oil seal (cannot be changed without splitting the case), Clutch push rod guide, oil seal and o ring. Also check your clutch slave cylinder to see if the seals need replaced. Order new case cover gaskets (5 of them). I just ordered and received all my orings, seals, etc. for mine, can email the list to you if you want to see it. I'm also doing the water pump upgrade at the same time, check yours to see if its plastic or steel. If plastic, I would go ahead and replace it. You can see all the fiche pics for the parts at Flatoutmotorcycles.com. Best prices for factory parts out there. Ordered last Saturday, everything including 1 part from Japan was ready for pick-up tonite! If you order from them, mention that you're with Venturerider.org. We're trying to show them how many of us get stuff through them. Thanks and good luck, Dan

    I sent this to my 15 year old son to watch. I did some of this back in the day when I was in the Sons of American Legion. Queen Anns and some other moves too far removed to remember...... Had a lot of fun doing it and watching peoples faces when 12-15 year olds were doing it. Thanks for the post! Dan

    Just spent time over in Marysville at the County offices, only actual jobs lost will be retirees, they knew this was coming for 2 years, factory getting old, too costly to update, no hard feelings from Marysville. Dan

    I got off the credit card train in 01, too much to pay off. Did the chapter 13 thing, cleared up my debts, now if I don't have the cash I don't get it. If I need the cash, I go do another side job. That's how I finance my playtoys, the kids' sports ( u know how much that can cost!) and the other fun stuff. Good plain, hard work, just like my Dad taughtme, and it only took another 30 years to sink in!!!!! Dan

    Recharge battery if needed, find a slight slope downhill, grab hold of the bars on the left side of bike; start running and pushing bike, jump on, hit 2nd gear and release clutch (with key on!) start the thing and go for a ride. After this rest and relaxation, THEN pull starter and clean it out!!!! Dan

    Sounds like the old diversion trick. Dummy cop sittin in a car, block away the real one. Kid fell for it hook, line and sinker. Maybe he'll live longer now. Well, at least as long as his jail time! The paper didn't lie, though. It was picture radar, just not on the street! Dan PS---Randy, you got that extra gear out yet?!?!?!? I still haven't found the 1/8" radius gauge, and I'm thinkin about using my drill press and adjustable angle drill press vice to try this. WIll duplicate angle almost exactly. Whadya think? Internal parts comin this weekend, gettin itchy to start puttin her back together. DOn't know if I wanna take the time to cut the gears, maybe try to make you feel bad and just swap me out!!!!

    Try taking the 4" round circle cover off the left side cover of the motor (not the middle gear cover). Find the right size socket (32mm for big nut, 19mm for smaller one) and try to turn the motor over by hand, without the plugs in, of course. If it turns over somewhat easy, but not really hard, then main bearings are probably OK. This will then eliminate all but the starter and its circuit. Question for others--is it possible that something in the starter clutch setup could be dragging? Just thinkin'. Dan

    Live to be 80

    Dano posted a topic in Watering Hole

    Thought you all would find this interesting! Dan Will I live to be 80? Sometimes you just have to ask yourself ' Will I live to be 80?' I recently chose a new primary care physician. After two visits and exhaustive lab tests, he said I was doing 'fairly well' for my age. A little concerned about that comment, I couldn't resist asking him, 'Do you think I'll live to be 80?' He asked, 'Do you smoke tobacco or drink alcoholic beverages?' 'No,' I replied. 'I don't do drugs, either' Then he asked, 'Do you eat rib-eye steaks and barbecued ribs?' I said, 'No, my other doctor said that all red meat is unhealthy!' 'Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf, boating, fishing or relaxing on the beach?' 'No, I don't,' I said. He asked, 'Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or have a lot of sex?' 'No,' I said. 'I don't do any of those things.' Then he looked at me and asked, 'Then why do you give a s**t?'

    RandyA, I'm glad you could help Brad out with his secret desire to be a 1st gen rider again. I'm sure it was difficult for him, and a pleasure for you. Sometimes you have to give up what you thought you wanted, in order to come back to your hearts true desire!!! Brad , we're glad to have you back in the fold, you are forgiven. Try not to deviate from your true course again!!!!!! LOL Dan

    95 Harley pics

    Dano replied to Orrin's topic in Watering Hole

    Almost thought I would have to look at 95 pictures of Hardleys on here!! Nice bike, would want a Heritage Softail of the same vintage if I ever bought an HD. Can't figure out what part of the bike the last pic is, though!!!
