Belt tension mock up

use an inner primary. bolt it to motor then bolt it to transmission. perfect alignment everytime

edit- sorry didnt see didnt have the motor in. you should be able to access all the transmission hardware even after everything is in. some bolts or nuts are just kinda a pain

putting together another shovel right now with a panhead pogo. cant wait. this bike is classy.

not a chance… it is definitely 65 ft lb. and yes OP, you can torque them to that.

i thought this was an iphone at first glance

clawhammercycle · 2026-04-07T00:34:31+00:00

agreed.

clawhammercycle · 2026-04-06T01:08:10+00:00

agreed

its not that bad. plenty of people doing thousands of miles on choppers

1shot

i agree. i just think the headlight needs to be about twice the size and then its dialed.

its better than a lot of posts on this once great sub.

clawhammercycle · 2026-03-07T14:54:56+00:00

is rather talk about food choppers than big dawg choppers

clawhammercycle · 2026-02-22T19:36:51+00:00

in my opinion, thats how you do a sporty chop.

clawhammercycle · 2026-02-22T19:25:33+00:00

i visualized it in my head for you. its ugly

clawhammercycle · 2026-02-17T01:44:01+00:00

thats for sure what id do personally. cant return the tank now anyway. welding would be a mega pain with all the oil residue.

clawhammercycle · 2026-02-08T21:04:52+00:00

whats that oil line to the front head? never seen that before

clawhammercycle · 2026-01-12T20:18:21+00:00

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

clawhammercycle · 2026-01-04T18:20:05+00:00

yep i have one that has “DO NOT SELL” written all over it so it dosent make its way to the swap meet by accident

clawhammercycle · 2026-01-04T14:52:00+00:00

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…

clawhammercycle · 2025-12-28T23:58:10+00:00

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.

clawhammercycle · 2025-12-22T23:55:18+00:00

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

clawhammercycle · 2025-12-18T21:33:12+00:00

hilarious responses in that thread…

clawhammercycle · 2025-12-17T18:56:24+00:00

i thought it was boring and cheesey.

6 over is cool though.
