I'm from the Ohio Valley, Riding an 03 Super Glide 1450cc Carbureted . My first Harley but not my first bike. I had my first one at 8 years old, was a Suzuki DS 80. Remember those little orange dirt bikes? Had a lot of fun summers on that thing...Ha!! And here I am 40 years later still riding the wind. But any how that's bout it for me , Just saying Hey yall !!!!
 
My First bike was a 45 pound Doodle-bug...
Came in Parts/Pieces not whole. Took a Used 2.5 HP reel lawnmower motor to get it going... Tough to find a Horizontal shaft motor in my early days....Most motors were Vertical back in them days... Ohhhhhh Am I Old....

Well, WELCOME to the forum...

Nice getting New members...
We are trying to build this HDTimeline forum Back to where it was Years Back...
(ME and many others included)

Hope you can get used to the new look and "how it works"... Tough for an Old Timer like me...:eek: Trying tho...

By the way... No one seems to ASK new members right out: BUT I WILL
What got you to this site in the first place?

Actually I joined up for the advice of people who know more about what I work on than I do. For instance , currently I am replacing the primary sprockets and chain and I've ran into a snag where the sprockets aren't lined up and the face of the compensating sprocket is being chewed off.

You not that old are ya Bubbie? they didn't have the old washing machine motors on em did they?....LOL

Ask that Question so ALL can read and give a Response....

part of my answer would be Alignment .... Spacers needed or not needed... KISS

Yes in fact as I remember One of the motors DID have a peddle arm step down starter... (washing machine for sure) Lol
