Street Glide Upgrades…
OnI 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…
EVO Repair Manual…
OnPicked up the Clymer Repair Manual for 1984-1999 Harley Davidson FLS/FXS Evolution. I already have the factory service manual.
Street Glide Fuelpak Install…
OnI installed the Vance and Hines Fuelpak 3 (FP3) on my 2014 Harley Davidson Street Glide. I am planning to do some upgrades on the Street Glide and I need to be able to tune the bike’s fuel injection system after changing…
EVO Motor Project…
OnYeah, I know this is not a Sportster but this is my next project. This 1992 Harley Davidson 80″ Evolution motor was replaced with a 96″ S&S motor in my 1992 Heritage Softail many years ago. It has been sitting on the…
Sissy bar…

Front Brake Caliper Rebuild…

Biketoberfest 2018…
OnHeaded 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…
RPM…
OnInstalled 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.
Antique Plates…
OnThe Sportster is a 1990, the same year I graduated from High School, which makes it well over 25 years old. In Virginia, since the bike is over 25 years old, it qualifies for antique license plates.
Oil Pump Problems…
OnHad some issues with a lifter not lifting (another post on that later) and discovered the Cam gears were not timed correctly. Got everything fixed and put back together. She fired right up and was running great… then the oil light came…
