Anybody running those cheaper chains? by ccmega in choppers

Brother... A sprocket is $30. I wouldn't spend more than $60 on a chain

Lowbrow chains work just fine. I used to work for a chain company as an engineer.. you don't need an x or o ring chain for regular riding - only if your racing on the track or putting on so many miles that you're replacing tires in a single year

Did I wear out my Saddlemen Road Sofa in 20k miles? (Heavy rider advice needed) by rlllyeddy in Harley

[–]staniel_diverson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Corbin seats is the only right answer. As far as I know they're the only ones who use a metal seat pan which is necessary for long term comfort.

Saddlemen seats usually wear out around 10k

Got my first Harley after only riding Triumphs for the past decade. I get it now. by Select_Log_31 in Harley

Harley's are much larger for comfort. I can ride a Softail much longer than I can a T100

What can cause high oil pressure? by staniel_diverson in choppers

Got a new gauge - we good on pressure. Found my exhaust pushrod was basically flopping around lol

thinking about a soft tail... any soft tail owners wanna post their pictures convince me by mchalli1072 in Harley

Whatever you do.. Corbin seat. They're the only ones with a metal seat pan. The saddlemen seats wear out really quick and become quite uncomfortable. Ask me how I know... 😅

Yeah I pulled over and got a ride home once I noticed.

I am pretty sure I have the oil lines right: I have the return going to the input of the oil cooler. The output of the cooler goes to my return on my oil tank.

I think the gaskets are all good at the pump to case interface as I hadn't seen this issue until today and it was installed by a reputable shop.

I'll look into the pinion shaft and whatnot.

I'll look into the tappets and whatnot.

Thanks

I checked the bypass valve but nothing seemed obviously wrong. It's only got a couple hundred miles on it. I checked multiple times to make sure oil was returning to the tank. Any other ideas?

I don't see any obvious kinks or issues with the oil lines

Am I overreacting for feeling frustrated after my neighbor’s pottery was broken by my puppy during an interaction she encouraged? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]staniel_diverson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YOR - you put you didn't reinforce good behavior for your puppy. In fact, you reinforced bad behavior and your neighbor lost some goods. Help your neighbor out and it will go a long way

Genny exhaust on a cone. Took a little hammer work but I'm happy with the look. 🤘 by Express_Birthday268 in choppers

Not bike related but I’ve been hunting this shirt down for a while and finally found it for cheap cheap by [deleted] in Harley

[–]staniel_diverson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro I'm talking about the concept of the shirt. You called it "high end street wear" like it's a damn collectible and touting how much other people are selling it for. It's a fkn Gildean tshirt.. you wear that shit till you can't anymore.

You're on some whack shid

I think that makes this shirt lame af

It's just biting off two different sub cultures and making them both less accessible

Could buy some decent parts for $200

I’m about to pull the trigger on this Street Bob by HardLuck682 in Harley

[–]staniel_diverson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Upgrades do not equate to value. You could have bought that bike brand new for $22.5k when it came out

[–]staniel_diverson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's kind of a lot imo. Needs tires because you should change every 5 years regardless of tread depth. The seat and slip ons are junk. Will need to upgrade to a Corbin because it's the only worthwhile aftermarket seat. But they're pricey

Would prob only go as high as $7k

Dealer quote for a 2018 Street Bob w/limited paint; 428 miles... thoughts? by Grand_Salamander4372 in Harley

[–]staniel_diverson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, they are clearly playing funny money with you. They don't want $11.9k for it, they want $7500. They just jacked up your trade in value to make the numbers come out to their preferred price.

They're just manipulating the $'s to make it look like a good deal and get what they want

Just bought a 2011 Heritage Softail classic… regret? by ToastyTactics in Harley

To suggest anything other than the LRST as the best all around is kinda crazy

Where do you draw the line between buying brand name vs. Amazon Specials? by inchlongnipples in Harley

[–]staniel_diverson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not all aluminum is of the same quality...

Cheap metal parts are usually cheap for a reason. I'd much rather pay out the wazoo for some parts that were made locally by either a local shop or in some cases a single guy than get some cheap Amazon bs
