| Shredder  Joined: Feb 2011 From: Tacoma, WA I Ride: 2001 RC-51 | Shed Find: Harley So, my parents are moving some of the things they have stored away to a newly built barn on their property and the many small "sheds" that are scattered around the 10 or so acres of property are being torn down. Apparently, my father. Who was a Harley Mechanic for some years picked this 1994 Sportster and had tons of brand new, in box items to put on it but never did. So, I took it and all the boxes of goodies. Saddly, it sat in this pump house the better part of the last decade and the chrome is almost entirely shot. The straight / baffled set of pipes are all but lost their finish and color. Good news.. it fires right up with a bit of fresh gas and a jump. Let the fun begin! There are seriously more boxes of parts and mechanical / cosmetic / extra seats / handle bars etc than I know what to do for this bike.    |

 There, that's one of four. As for knowing it was there, I knew about his Soft Tail and Goldwing but not the Sportster which is odd since it was last tab'd in 07' | |

Bilbo Corgi / Shepard mix... best guess I have  Brandi Catahoula Leapord Up for adoption, so if you need a dog these 4 month olds need a home! |

It is available at Lowes, QFC or Safeways places like that. It takes some elbow though. | |

| Shredder Joined: Feb 2011 From: Tacoma, WA I Ride: 2001 RC-51 |    Pulled off the valve cover and found a slightly scarred bushing on #1 exhaust cam and the price for a pack is not pretty. Was not lined up when the cams came out and not in 5th gear ( Read after the fact that I did it.. ) So, tomorrow she goes to the local shop to get a once over and hopefully cheaply home soon. So far, new grips some electrical replacement and gas / oil. Re painting tank / fenders and polishing up the salvageable chrome. A lot of the chrome was flaking off and looked horrible. Plugs were looking a bit fouled, those are replaced and should be running and tabbed by next week if all goes well. Almost ready to install a new front break kit, reservoir / disc /brake line. Having difficulty with the actual caliper, fear it may be for a different model. Last edited by CBRSkidrow; 06-03-2012 at 09:42 PM.. |
