I've been a member of the Yankee Chapter for a few years just never got here before, I love old motorcycles especially Harley's as that is what I grew old with. I have a 1953FL, a 1971 FLH and a 1981FXS and enjoy riding with antiques, as our club motto is, 'Ride them, don't hide them'

I 'm really fond of the '81 FXS as I have an '81 FXB. Very similar. Maybe you can make the Deerfield Road Road this year.DrSprocketComment

Howdy chaps,
Nothing like 4.5 inch pull backs and flat bars for the Dennis Hopper Easy Rider slouch, thanks to a member here providing NOS compensator sprocket pucks and front primary belt this FXB will be tooling around Daytona in a couple of weeks.

Ah, Peter that's a beauty! Did you coat your new pucks with poly lube from the little plastic tube as per the instructions? I picked up an NOS tube a few years back at the old Rhinebeck meet. I don't know if it helps. I also found an NOS rear emergency belt kit. Sort of cool. The other day I found a copy of Chopper magazine that talks about Willie G. riding to Sturgis on the prototype before they went into production. He and the bike were undercover so to speak. Just ready peoples reactions to the machine. That's when he named the model. Ah, history!DrSprocketComment

Howdy sir,
I did not and in hindsight, if for no other reason, beyond ease of installation, anything liquid would have been welcome. These things are a very tight fit. For those unfamiliar with this drivetrain it can be viewed at my site below. Unlike the 77 XLCR which was primarily an aesthetic exercise this was (turned out to be) an expensive experiment to reduce drivetrain vibration. It worked(s) beautifully, the best riding solid mount 4 speed FX ever. Only the belt final drive out of the 3 mods survived for later machines.
