There is only one thing I enjoy more than going to Birmingham, and that is coming back from Birmingham.

The tools arrived today so made a start on the 6 speed install on the FXR.
Been a while since I did the RK 6 speed but with the right tools it’s pretty simple. All stripped down in an hour or so, except for the main drive bearing as my circlip pliers are not up to the job!
Tougher set ordered and will be here in a couple of days hopefully
Empty 5 speed....

Got one of those. Sturdy kit.
Keep on Keeping On
Welllll, I charged both batteries this weekend!!! The Evo and the Street Glide, mega technical.
And today, fired up the Street Glide, just a treat to hear it run. Evo is in the other shed, so once this super rain we're supposed to be having stops,
will run that,. Roll on when we can actually go and RIDE the bikes!!! Oh yeh, fitted the Optimate Charging cables to the bikes, also my Son's Hayabusa....
i am reverting to the original rear master cylinder ,,shovel FLH80
i had fitted a modern one off a road king but for some reason it wont pump enough fluid to work , on a four pot HD calliper
fitted new seals etc ,, i know the old standard one will do the job
so just have to make up a new brake pipe and fit and bleed
you live and learn
