So...here they are. I just shot the 1st coat of the clear coat on them about an hour ago.

Of course...no one in their right mind is going to believe it's stock after hearing it run

  I bet you're right ....  but I'll have fun wit it.   

They look great Ray, I appreciate the time your spending on them.

I needed to get gas tonight, the tank was full when I pulled the bike apart, it always seems to be full wen I need to take it off.....   decision, decisions, I went with the 93. Seems it uses a little more fuel than my 107 did...

WOW!!!... damn cheap gas. Our 87 octane just went from 3.999 to 3.699 over the last 3 days. Premium is still well over 4.00 per gallon.

Converting our Litres and Dollars to US, in Brissie we're paying around US$6.20 for a US Gallon

I see a lot of differences in gas prices, as I travel a lot for work, some states have a higher tax rate on the fuel, and some it just costs more. It's a sad day when we get excited to see "only" $3.699 a gallon isn't it?

dang!!   

[HogBag]

Ohio
Its all good downunder as where paying half the price there paying in europe.   

[rbabos]

5.50 US gal here on average for 91 octane.

about $8 per US gallon over here for premium

I can understand Fuel being different prices in different areas and countries, but I would assume it also has something to do with the median income also. Like I live in IL. The median income for 2011 was around $55,000 a year and looking at around $4.30 per U.S. gallon back then. How does AU, EU, Stanz's or CAN compare??

[FXDBI]

Median family income is 89,000 and reg. gas works out to 4.28 a US gallon here, Edmonton, Alta Canada. Its one of the cheapest places in the country for fuel, but its made right here and out of the ground right here. Still way over priced.  Bob

[Deye76]

Don't know what median income is in East Tn., last time I filled up the car paid $2.969 for reg. Filled the bike at the Marathon Friday, by my house $3.329 for prem.

In Germany and Austria as an example taxes make up to 60% of the pump price. Gas prices are political prices over here.

Well between Federal, state and Municipal taxes, I believe we're right about at 50% also.

OK so back to the brass in the oil motor, what happened to it?

[Ohio HD]

Left side flywheel thrust washer worn down.

[FSG]

 

[rageglide]

Does the thrust washer wear because of lack of clearance?  ie, too tight combo of parts?  On my 103" it feels like a mile of slop if I push/pull the crank with the primary removed.  Is the assembly really that off centered?

[Ohio HD]

This one wore I'm assuming due to the rear left side big end of the rod was elongated. That had to be where the knock was coming from as well. AT least a combination of that and the washer was wearing thinner.

.006 sounds like slop city on these things. I remember feeling it also and checking with an indicator. Golden rule in end play is crank to be half of what the tightest play would be in the rods end play. Too tight or lack of lube takes out the thrust washers.

So what's the plan Brian?

Damn shame these don't last a little longer.... has anybody ever figured out cost/mile?

This was the old 107 motor in my Street Glide. It's already been replaced with a 117 inch I bought from Ray.

[koko3052]

OHHH. sorry, I thot it was the 117

Still.... the same goes... should last longer no matter how they are run.

No worries Bill, I also have the Ultra spewing brass in a new post....   

I may have mentioned once that I ride pretty hard....

That should not have any impact on the thrust washers unless something has shifted. More so the wrist pin bushings, but still, seems too soon. By chance , are you running Kendall oil?
