Trials and Tribulations (and good times) of my 1990 Harley Davidson Sportster Project and Other Motorcycle Tinkering
Started tearing down the 1992 EVO motor this past weekend. Removed the rocker boxes, cylinder heads, pushrods, tappet guides, etc. Nothing too exciting. Just getting it all stripped down to hopefully bring it back to life and use it as the base…
Wanted a small bag for the Sporty. Just something to keep the registration, glasses, etc. Didn’t want anything too big. Looked at a bunch of different options and found this nylon bag from Deadbeat Customs.
I have had the 2014 Street Glide since Biketoberfest 2013. We rode down there on a 2000 Electra Glide and rode home on the 2014 Street Glide. I really like the Street Glide but have not really done anything to it over…
Picked up the Clymer Repair Manual for 1984-1999 Harley Davidson FLS/FXS Evolution. I already have the factory service manual.

Mounted the sissy bar on the Sportster this weekend. The pad is new, but the other parts are swap meet finds. I may paint the support brackets at some point but it doesn’t look too bad as it is.
There is always something… Everything is put back together. Thought we were ready to ride. Before we left for Biketoberfest I noticed a leak up front. Thought it might be fork oil but it was brake fluid. The front brake caliper was…
Headed down to Daytona Beach for the week to enjoy the sun and the Biketoberfest debauchery. Not a trip for the Sportster, at least not yet, so Sandy and I will be riding down on the Street Glide. Looking forward to the…
Installed a cheap tachometer on the 1990 Sportster. I’ll upgrade it to something nicer one day, or not. Really only installed it cause the wiring was already there and it was cheap.
