Anybody else got any winter projects planned?
I'm putting a mild set of cams in my '02 Super Glide, as well as replacing/upgrading the inner & outter cam bearing, cam chain tensioner shoes & lifters. Cams are a nice low-end & midrange grind that'll still pull to the rev-limiter. Staying at the stock 88" for now, though they'll work well at 95" should I decide to go that route in the future.
Installing a tach as well, as I managed to track down an NOS/NIB tach, mount, etc. I hate not knowing what my engine's doing. The wiring harness that came with the tach (this one was originally sold as the Road King accessory tach) should make this practically a plug & play install. I'm a nerd about scouring the parts catalogs & cross-referencing part numbers & using OE parts where ever possible, which comes in useful when the factory & aftermarket decide your bike is just old & start discontinuing parts
Also gonna be witching to a different air cleaner to vent the crank case to the atmosphere. Don't want that crap in my air-fuel mixture & really don't want the carbon buildup nastiness on the piston tops & in the combustion chambers.
I'm not into bling, but will be putting a touch more retro stank on 'er, with a couple of subtle parts choices.
First though, I gotta get my lift table put together & get the bike up in the air. It's too effing cold & I'm too old & broken to be crawling around on a cement floor.
