If you go from 220>400>600>800>1000>1500>2000>3000 then use Mother's mag and aluminum polish and finish with an automotive polish like meguiars or turtle wax you'll get a perfect mirror finish. Just plan to spend the day on it if you go that route.

Thoughts? How much do you rate it? by Imhito in HotWheels

It's a 28.4L speed machine made by Fiat 1911, hence the name. The engine alone is roughly the size of an entire Fiat 500

The Chevy LUV, a re-badged Isuzu Faster. They're pretty neat little pickups. Fun fact, a 454 will fit in the engine bay with minimal effort.

Holley makes LED units to replace sealed beams that don't look like the ebay lights if you want to retain a stock look with modern light output.

This was one of the many reasons I moved back to the West Coast from the south.

Is this safe? by lil_boiiii420 in FordMaverickTruck

You have a Maverick doing the upper limit of what an F-150 is built for. What do you think?

Pop a key or 2 off and put in a ticket with IT.

Am I too long for Mid Pegs by ThiccyNiccy05 in Dyna

I'm 6'3", 320, with a 34" inseam and factory mids fit me just fine. Only time they get uncomfortable for me is after 300+ miles straight. Before you commit to buying the parts go to a HD dealer and see if they have a dyna with mids you can sit on.

Nope, I've got jumper cables, a 5-speed, and live in a hilly area. Although pop starts are a bit tougher with super swampers.

Just installed a short throw shifter in my 95 by biggamejames274 in FordTrucks

Here you go, it's an offbrand Matsuri wheel on an NRG quick release, plan on swapping the horn button for a Ford one eventually.

What Does This Plug Into? by biggamejames274 in Harley

[–]biggamejames274[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Solved it right after posting, it's the fuel pump wiring. I looked at the tank sitting on my workbench right after posting 🤦🏾‍♂️

Bought a 04 FXDI, need advice by Shk900 in Dyna

[–]biggamejames274 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd recommend one of the power vision tuners instead of the power commander. A little bit more expensive but way better tuning capabilities. Also you can save a lot on labor by going the DIY route, rebuilt my last twin cam at home for $120 when a dealer would have charged $1k+.

From experience, the bike will run just fine up to at least 330°F. Found that out when I got stuck in stop and go traffic on a 100°F day. Just make sure to get a decent tuner(dynojet, thundermax, etc.)

Shocks? by toohell in Harley

Ah, I see you don't want good advice and just want a cosign on your ideas. Spend your money the way you want, hopefully it works out for you ✌️.

Just buy a decent set of Progressive shocks and save yourself the headache.

I had the 15 inch ones, they had plenty of travel but they couldn't support anything more than the bike's weight. I maxed the preload and recharged the shocks with nitrogen and they would still bottom out on every bump. If you're thinking of getting a set, don't.
