    Take a paper towel or thin rag and try to poke it into the area to soak up the coolant. Not a real good idea to just leave it i n there...

    Bought mine 2 1/2 years ago with 8700 miles on it. Now has around 15K. I gots to ride it more...

    Man, sure is a shame that engine was that misused! 98K is just about broken in for these engines! Sounds like you have a good plan, man!

    I will be the third to agree with this! Another possibility could be that there is a nasty ridge on the cylinder wall and should be honed out. Also, I would assume that when you took it apart, you installed a new rebuild kit. The fact that tapping freed up the brakes suggests that some kind of stickage is preventing the piston from returning to the "Home" position. As mentioned, make sure those 2 little holes, especially the one that has the countersunk area, are clear and free. If you reused your old sealls, hopefully you did not soak them in solvent as that makes the seals swell and increase in size. If that is the case, bake them for about 10 minutes at around 200 deg F...

    I got the shock apart, Scotty! An extreme "DOH" moment! Almost went into the wall on the first yank it came apart soooo easy! Shame I had to miss Pt Dover...

    Yes, I have bought from them with no problems that I can remember... I hate when that hapens! So far I've only had 2 problems in the last 3 years, both finally satisfactorly resolved. We did have to send "Pyro" to one place a couple of years back!

    Dano, from what I've been told, any year except an '83 will work. I do have 1 spare but I'm afraid I might need it for the '85, and won't know for at least a couple of months for sure.
  11. bongobobny
    Ahhh yes, but now BOTH you and I know it's there!!! Brad, I don't drive no vintage Harley...

    It's a Clearview windshield, the wide one. Joopster, whenever they start making a 2nd Gen worthy of being rebuilt, I will start saving their parts...:stirthepot:

    Well, when I asembled all the parts I rebuilt this winter, I used synthetic brake fluid to assemble, but elsewise left dry. Should be no different than the seals setring in the wrapper at the dealers... I completely rebuilt 2 clutch masters, 2 clutch slaves, 3 pair of front MK2 calipers, 2 pair of rear MK2 calipers, 3 rear master cylinders along with the proportioning valves, and 3 MK2 front masters. The only thing left for me to rebuild this year is 2 sets of front shocks, and then tear Goldie apart and update front suspension and complete new hydraulics. The other stuff is for the project '85 whenever it finally gets worked on...

    You have one too!!
  15. bongobobny
    You gots a PM...
  16. bongobobny
    Uhhhhh, I ain't bidding on that one, it's all yours Crash...
  17. bongobobny
    Front brake Master Cylinder for a MK1?? There is no guts in it but was honed. I have 3 rebuilt Mk2 masters for myself and this is taking up room! Yours for the asking...
  18. bongobobny
    Mk2 Right front caliper?? This is surplus to need from all the calipers I accumulated over the last 2 years. Along with all the others, it has been disassembled and cleaned, honed, and pistons polished. I did NOT install new seals on this one but did pick out the best from all the used seals I had. It's yours for the asking as I now have 3 complete sets all rebuilt. *@#&% seal sets are EXPENSIVE!! Help clear out my garage...

    Jusy thought you (and others) would like to see how that clutch slave cylinder that you donated for the project bike came out. Cleaned it up and honed the bore and ran a tap thru the threads. Polished the piston and buffed out the housing a tad. Reassembled and Viola...

    Well, it is a real fish...

    Still up for grabs, and cluttering up my desk...

    My '84 has about 15,000 miles on it and I get around 38 MPG... There have been some members that have gotten around 200,000 miles out of theirs, so you have nothing to worry about for a long time!

    It might be time for a complete flush of the cooling system, something that should be done every 4 - 5 years but many times isn't. There is also a possibility of a blown head gasket. Take a look at the oil and see if there is any evidence of water in there. Yes, if you are low on colant to begin with, it leads to even more coolant being blasted out from overheating. Definately check out the fan circuit and make sure the sensor is working...

    Not for me, but actually I like it... Sort of like a model T, eh?
  25. bongobobny
    Squid beat me to it! There is a set of contacts on the start switch that disconnects the headlight when you press the start button... What you need to do is look for 12 volts from ground at the fuse and work forward to the ign switch, dimmer switch, etc.
