    Oz, feel your pain, getting ready to do mine, also. Muffinman sent me the part #'s for the gaskets, will need to get #'s for the shaft, gear set and other parts needed. Dan

    Thom, just gleaning info here, for Marlcarl and the rest. Has it overheated recently? I mean really hot? Have not studied these motors up close and personal yet, but I will this winter. Not sure of the water passages thru the heads, etc. Hopefully it's not a cracked head. Dan PS, I'll shut up and just read now!

    Thom, forgot to mention, don't know how, you shouldn't run it with the oil/water mix. It could cause corrosion in the oil paths and it makes the oil really sludgey(?). It will definately reduce oil flow thru motor, depending on how much water (anti-freeze) has gotten in there. Replace the filter, oil change at least twice I would think, to flush out the contaminents(watch a 2nd genner try to understand this!). Sorry to hear you gotta pull it, but a good time to check out the heads, valves, chain tensioner, etc. I would throw new valve cover gaskets on it too, if it's never been apart. You got a good motor, no reason to start over on somebody elses (hidden) problems. Good luck, Dan PS- don't feel bad, I'm doing the second gear fix this winter, so I'm right there with you! But at least I'll know when I get this done, it's Lowell kind-of mileage before I gotta do that again! Hmmm, makes you wonder why Lowell doesn't ride a 2nd gen, huh!!!

    DO a compression check when the motor is cold, should show a blown head gasket. Muffinman or Squeeze will definately be the answer men when it comes to this. And I agree with your position on the second gens. Seems I've been seeing more problems out of them on the site lately than the 1st gens!!!!! Dan

    At least with a 1st gen you have STYLE that is unique and second to Goldwings . Hmmm, looks like somebody forgot the 1/4 mile times that are somewhere on here. Don't remember a Goldwing OR 2nd gen doing 12.05 sec @ 105 mph down the track (if they've even got the nerve!) :rotf: 1st gen MK1 and proud of it! Dan

    Christmas ride

    Dano replied to Dano's topic in Watering Hole

    Happy and glad for all those up north here who decided to ride! I'm wanting to go on Fat Daddy's (in Shelbyville, In) New Years Day ride next week if it's up in the 40's with dry roads. I've got a couple of HD buddies who are going. DOn't have all the fancy cold weather gear, but Carhartt bibs and coat has been working good. Anybody else from Indy want to go, PM me and we'll hook-up. Dan

    So, if I read this right, you guys get Christmas (Eve?) AND Boxing Day off with pay??? We're going to have to sit down and compare paid Holidays off with other countries and see who's got the best deal! A move might be in order! Happy Boxing Day! Dan

    Who took the chance to go out for a ride today (Christmas Day)? Needed to go to Grandmas, of course "over the river (creek) and through the woods (several tree stands). Was about 45f when we left at 2:30 this afternoon, son rode in with me. Beautifull!!!! When we left at 8 tonite, the daughter rode with me. I believe when we got back home it was close to 32f outside. Still glad I haven't started to tear her down yet!!! Gonna have to get going, tho. Still couldn't pass up a chance for a ride!!!!! Dan

    My brother-in-law (wife's sister), was an HD guy, spent all his money and no time riding, went to the sport bike side (used to ride in Germany on the autobahn), and after looking at my bike today (84 Standard), said that he would like to get rid of his Buell Lightning and get something more like mine. When I told him that my 730 pound "sled" would do 12.5 seconds @ 105 mph in the quarter mile, his jaw dropped to the ground!!! He has finally come to his senses and may leave "the Dark Side". Thankfully he hasn't dropped his bike in a long time. I myself wonder "why" these crotch-rockets feel the need to put themselves and others at risk with their riding. Go to a track if you need to feel that! Dan

    In case you haven't heard, Mars will be draped in red tonite, followed an hour later by the full moon. Should rise in the SE sky. THis is the closest Mars will be for another 26 months, and tonite it is exactly in line with the earth and sun, allowing us to see it in red. Supposed to be seen by the necked eye! Mega Cool! Merry Christmas, Dan

    Not fair!!!!! Squeeze got all his new playtoys today!!!! Merry early Christmas to you, Squeeze! And many thanks for all the wisdom and knowledge you have given us, that is more precious than any physical gift we can receive (other than a mint 1st gen mk1!). Dan
