    I heard there was a follow up study on how riding a 1st Gen made you much smarter than riding a 2nd Gen... Man...I'm sorry ..but I just couldn't resist..

    Thanks for the painful reminder....

    Can somebody tell me if it makes a difference whether these rubber cushions that go between the triple head and fork air "things" have to be installed one way or another ? With the flat side up or down ? Thanks

    I'm looking for any pictures of naked 1st Gens that are riders. Have a friend that has an 84 that the tupperware is pretty sun dried etc. Was thinking that instead of parting it out, maybe trying to strip it down and make a back up rider out of it. They look terrible plain naked, so I'm wondering how anybody dressed them up to make em look prettier than a 2nd Gen... dang...did I type that last part out loud ..?

    Smaller in reality is still bigger than in fantasy.. Just a thought.... Kinda like a 2nd Gen thinking they are faster than a 1st Gen...

    Welcome Howard. I have an 89, and if i ever get it back together will enjoy it again one day... You will enjoy it here until you make a mistake and they pounce on you like rabbit in a snare. But they are mainly the slower 2nd Genners who do it out of jealousy, so we over look that, and give a lot of grace and forgiveness. So welcome !

    I hereby give everybody permission, that if I knowingly use/install/brag/or even smile about using a Harley part on ANY of my bikes, you may shoot/electrocute/slice/stab/discombobulate me in any way shape or form. Exclusion: This does not apply should Big Tom ride his snow sled over and install anything in the dead of night.

    I had bookmarked the Watering hole and 1st Gen Tech forum when I first joined. Today I wandered into the read only 1st Gen tech library forum and found a wealth of information.... Guess I need to spend some more time cruisin' through this place....

    Well...wouldn't be the first time I was used as a test monkey.... we will see ! Hope I don't have to post another " you told me and I didn't listen" thread....

    ...and how much money have you found in yours... makes mine worth at least 2-bits more than a 2nd Gen.... or a Goldwing...lol

    So here is the result of the pyramid vs. OEM seals... Looks like the overall height is the same from bottom to lip top, but the top it definitely different as they don't allow for the washer and lock ring.... The forks went together easier with the correct seals...imagine that...
  18. KIC
    Before and after the washer. It all went together well.

    Don't forget the stun gun.... a little writhing on the floor makes for good entertainment.. After you tell him where to go, so will we.... Happy Birthday... Sainthood is next...

    Guess the 64 thousand dollar question is.... what is a thick washer vs. a thin washer...? Everything seemed to tighten snugly. Didn't hear any " cracks" when tightening.. also although the bolts were tight, there didn't seem to be much pressure on the rubber. looked like 6 +/- of the rubbers were lightly seeping/leaking. It's done know.. guess it will be a wait and see.... maybe i should start looking for some new valve covers.... GaryZ.. the BEST investment you can make if you do anything with those bolts is a ratchet box end... best $10.00 bucks I have spent...

    Geez..does that mean we hijack this thread and start a whole discussion on what we would get if they mated a Snaggletooth with a Dingy.....

    So I'm in the process of removing the 16 valve cover bolts and adding washers to stop my couple of small leaks. I'm also replacing the spark plugs as I work in each area... I pop off the spark plug cap to replace the front left plug and I see what looks like a big washer behind it... When I removed it, it was a 1984 quarter. How the heck did a quarter get in that tight area behind the cap...? That just hits me as weird... the plugs looked like they were in for a long time... but it's a 1989...
  24. KIC
    Go ahead and rub it in...... I did get to ride my KLR650 today... rode it to church, Best Buy and AutoZone .. did hit a little milestone on the odometer ...

    Great day on the bike. Finished all 16 valve cover bolts ,4 new plugs AND got the forks put back together with the new OEM fork seals . Feeling good about the bike today .
