Shovel Head / Re: 82 flh drive sprockets
Last post by Chippitt68 - September 15, 2024, 07:48:34 AMRemoved both shocks. No discernible movement. I didn't ride this bike much. Rode it 20 miles home and a few shorter rides around home. Hard to imagine that the chain was that far out of alignment. As stated, I have not had the rear wheel off. Neither sprocket is chewed up. I used Rays spacer with the oring when I fixed the trans leak. Trans sprocket is not dished. Not rubbing the trans. Wheel is slightly off center. Moving to line up sprockets would move it further out of center.

Tire is pretty much centered in swingarm. I have never had the rear wheel off. I did have issues fitting an inner primary, but I actually moved the trans out. Sportster sprocket?
It's really unlikely, but since you're right there, check the swing arm to insure there is no side to side play. Those swing arms are attached by a pair of Timken bearings. Usually if anything they get really tight from lack of maintenance. But if a bearing were to fall apart with age (42 years old) you might see some play.

Twin Cam / Re: Compensator oil deflector
Last post by motorplex88 - September 14, 2024, 04:20:19 PMI don't think the deflector clip was ever installed. There is no sign of it anywhere and no sign of it being chewed up. I'm replacing the comp assembly with new . I'm still thinking the missing deflector and the fact that the primary didn't have much oil in it, made the unit starve.

sadly they are using the same pic for the two part numbers
Thanks.... I was just going to say that I don't see a difference between the two oil scoops..
