#!$%&* Softail rocker boxes

[JW113]

I have never seen color coordinated gaskets all gaskets from 84-99 will work fine if you do proper torque

 

Somebody grab the net, I hooked a big one!

Technical content: Just to clarify, you can't use ANY gasket from 84-99 on ANY model from 84-99. Head breathers use a different gasket set than the case breathers. Maybe you meant that?

OEM rocker boxes are no longer available.
Two years ago I was going to replace the boxes on one cylinder on my `89 Softail, when the parts guy got on the computer he said they were still available but had the notation "Pending Obsolete".

I bought 2 sets instead of one, cost about 800 bucks.

The original rockerboxes on my `89 were junk when they were new, they got so soft that the center spacer would bulge so much you could see inside.

My '89 also had problems with the center section getting out of shape. They were made from zinc or some similar crappy material.

I haven't experienced the same out of shape center section with the Sportster rocker box. Maybe they still are available OEM?

I think they look great on a big twin.
