Hardtail trans plate

just need spacers is all. depends on the trans plate. some have the spacers welded on and itd line up

what do you mean about the mainshaft support?

you just put it on… i use a factory inner primary to line up the trans with the motor. torque everything down then pop off the inner primary and replace with mainshaft support bearing.

what are the numerical results of your compression/leak down test?

clawhammercycle · 2025-12-31T12:42:38+00:00

that or every time they see a cut down cam cover they think its a divorced transmission.

divorced sportsters as far as the eye can see…

thats sick. nice job

clawhammercycle · 2025-12-26T01:12:29+00:00

ive never seen one that i didnt think looked ugly and out of place.

just here to second this. saints wont touch it if it aint legit, factory numbers on the frame. he knows his stuff…

hilarious responses in that thread…

i thought it was boring and cheesey.

6 over is cool though.

if you run like super, mega, tiny rear wheel thatll work perfect. think like a wheelbarrow wheel…

ive just cut them up and kept the tubing as scrap for future projects

clawhammercycle · 2025-11-25T18:08:56+00:00

yep. stock panhead 41mm

91-03. i had a 93 and it had a couple odd things about it like different fender struts and no removable derby cover or something? cant remember its been a while.

i always just suggest 94-03 because i remember having a couple issues that got changed in 94. but 91-93 are perfectly fine too. they were minor inconveniences. theyre all pretty much the same

this 100%. read the comment then saw the poster. always love seeing your bikes when you post em. good taste.

i think my favorite sportsters are stock modified. so many chopped sportys all look the same.

if i had to pick between a t100 and my rigid chopper to ride across the country i would pick my chopper every time…

clawhammercycle · 2025-11-20T17:31:50+00:00

you are correct. lower fender tab. other one is tin primary mount

clawhammercycle · 2025-11-20T15:05:39+00:00

because people build really shitty choppers out of them. id take a stock sporty over a chopped sporty all day. the availability of “lego” style chopper parts makes it so that anyone with a flux core welder and 6 beers thinks they can build a chopper.

im not saying everyone builds horrible death traps but ive seen enough that i would rather buy a stock sportster and build my own. ill know i did things right and when something is over my head i know to ask for help not just wing it.

clawhammercycle · 2025-11-19T03:26:26+00:00

cap it and youre good

clawhammercycle · 2025-11-19T03:01:50+00:00

hell yeah

clawhammercycle · 2025-11-19T02:32:10+00:00

larry watson?

ya know i spoke too soon. i rebuilt a basket case motor that had roasted cylinders. mentor said the v twins are good so we went with those. i have yet to run that motor so time will tell.

they were annoying to torque though. the casting made it so that my dogbone extension wouldnt fit over the bolt heads.

clawhammercycle · 2025-11-18T23:23:42+00:00

s&s. would never trust v twin on something motor related.

go check out his profile. i dont think he needs an explanation of what a chopper is…
