No new rides, not much actual work accomplished either.
I visited the Crotona Midnight Run. They had cold clear weather and had 69 bikes show up. Only 50 actually attempted the ride. I had a great time hanging out at the start line and again at the Carmel Diner. Even as a social event, this is a great ride. Now to get my bike assembled for the ride to Jacksonville.
The transmission is out for a new input shaft. The new clutch hub and fiber clutch plates have arrived.
I haven't found a radiator yet, but the primary reason for that is failing to look for one.
The swingarm is apart to remove the transmission. 3/16" steel will fit to replace the rubber doughnuts that Harley Davidson installed. The cleve blocks inside the swingarm will be left in place and will provide the bearing surface.
The Harley oil tank will be put back in service as an air separator for the fuel. I plan to allow gravity feed from the fuel tank to the oil tank and use the fuel pump to pull the fuel from the oil tank up to the engine. The fuel return from the injectors will also be run into the oil tank. This should keep the bike fed with fuel until the main tank is really empty.
