I understand. They were designed and built at the same time we got our crosscountry roads built. It all worked out then and still great today.

Did Rodger make the one piece Aluminum Intake Manifold for the evolution engines? Which by the way also fits the twin cams. I'm running on on mine and I love it. no more leaky O-rings.

Yes he did. Yes, it's a great part.

I have found that a rear shock absorber collet fits in the pressure plate hole nicely and engages snugly, you just need a decent 5/16 washer to finish the job of taking the pressure off the clutch springs.

Hey Mike. Another awesome Vid. I have a question. Just finished my 88 EVO chopper. I had a little fire where my Regulator plug goes into the stator plug. Voltages are good. I believe it wasn't a good connection. The plugs are not connecting good. can I hard wire the bad boy there is no aftermarket plug from the VR tat I can find. Any of your Awesome knowledge always helps. I was thinking of going through the VR plug that is still good just the one side of the terminals is short. then soldering the to the wires from the stator. Thanks Man. See you out on the road someday. Keep on trucking guys. You too CM MIKE!

@pacificmike9501

Ай бұрын

I get it. In a perfect world, you'd buy a new stator and regulator. Reality, however, is that we need to save this stuff. I don't recommend it. But, since I don't recommend it, I've done it. I've recoated the wires going into the stator from the plug. I've soldered stuff , then checked it out according to the specs in the factory service manual. Yes, you can get away with it. No, it is not recommended. Be sure you seal up for oil where the plug goes through the crankcase.

Gotta finish this 65. But, on the 52, I replaced the pushrod seals and replaced the generator gasket. Everything looks pretty okay. I'll change the oil and make sure it's returning to the tank, which I think it is, and it will be done. Maybe do a couple other things to her. Is your friends bike leaking, or is it wetsumped and coming out of the breather?

Nice video, I need a oil seal and transmission seal for my 57 panhead, exactly what is the seal called on it ,crank seal, sprocket seal ,or main seal? For the motor . I've heard it referenced as all, just wanted to make sure I get correct thing when I order. Thanks very much

A motor seal is the main seal on the left side of the motor where the sprocket shaft comes out. Or, you could call it a crank seal. Buy a service manual. Aftermarket suppliers carry them. The manual is a 48 to 65.
