Thanks,

I was in a rush to get those changes completed before the barn got snowed in. It started out just doing the neck and swing arm bearings.  I have only ridden it 150 feet to the garage.

  I wanted to get away from the apes, everyone has apes now.  As time passes I am less sure about the beach bar look but free was a good price.  We shall see how it shakes down when I don't have to ride though snow or slush to get to the road.

 It may even get a {gasp} windshield.

Well crap now I'm wondering if i should go back to KN or Amsoil or HD filter, i really don't like idea of hurting my bike, even though my purepower filter is double woven 35 micron so a little better than striate 35 its still bad,

Yeah, I almost believed the hype from a couple of companies pushing the wire mesh reusable filters until I did a little research.  I'm still using the HD filter.  It was designed for the HD engine and I'm perfectly comfortable it's the best for my engine. 

   

Much better picture than what's going on in the nasal spray thread.

I know i just figure since im in that deep and pain to take belt drive off might as well change its only 120 or so for cycle electric one,  but your right, ill just check it and smell it

Once the base gasket is dealt with, I'm thinking morning coffee in hand, tunes on, Nub Tool, double springs, good seals, reassembled, valves adjusted and fired up in maybe 6 hrs? Probably including a sandwich break.  How's that fur painting a picture?   

Yur welcome 

I would definitely try to glue it. Maybe post some pictures, some here might have some ideas on a repair.

having bike painted so striped off everything when I did front fender the chrome tips are just plastic held on by a push clip on a little tap when I popped them off a tap broke on both tips, $120 for them at the dealer, to look at them I thought $40 each for piece of plastic, damn HD don't mind screwing their customers. think i'll try to glue them.

And maybe replace the beehives with double springs.
