Hands down......AMSOIL 20/50 MOTORCYCLE oil is THE BEST. It can be run in the engine and the primary/trans. Next best is Mobil 1 and Lucas....MOTORCYCLE OILS. For even better added protection, replace 6 ounces from each bottle of oil with Lucas Oil Stabilizer (SYNTHETIC stabilizer for syn oil...

You must not be looking too hard, those kits are everywhere in every catalog and magazine....see links below. With the mods you are looking to make, you are simply better off buying a new frame designed for the style you want. Converting a stock frame to a wide drive bigger than a 200, require...

In all honsety, a STOCK exhaust, no matter how little it was used is only worth about $150 MAX. Stock take-off parts are HARD to get rid of, there is not much of a demand for them at all, obviously, you didn't want it from the start, same as 99% of everyone else. I have 7 or 8 BRAND NEW sets...

Unfortunately no, you can't download it. You Can go to any HD Dealer and order it though, they are around $20 and WELL worth the expense. If you intend on doing ANY work to the bike yourself, also invest in the FACTORY Service and Electrical Diagnostics Manuals....Clymer and Haynes are JUNK...

If you swapped carbs, and it then ran fine, it sounds like you MAY ave pinched the diaphragm in your carb when you changed it....from the description of symptoms, this sounds exactly like what a ripped/pinched diaphragm does. Pull the carb top off and double check it. EDIT...Also double check...

Been working on HD's for 20 years, I have never heard of a "K" service. I have no idea. Where did you hear or see this? There is a K Model Harley, it is the predecessor to the Sportster, manufactured in '55 & '56

Diagnosing a situation like that on pre-04 HD's is a major pain in the @$$ if you don't have a diagnostic computer. Basically, the check engine light comes on while riding and doesn't flash a code while doing a diagnostic check is a sign of a running only condition, then the code becomes a...
