  1. For Sale 05 engine $1500

    That's hurtful

  2. Took A Gas Bath

    Yep, I never use auto feed on the bike, truck yes but never the bike.

  3. Trans work Gen 1 (robertsons) and Work in Denver (looking for price advice / shops)

    That's a pretty good undertaking for an individual or a shop, pretty good amount of down time, tied up space just waiting, not counting removal, disassembly, reassembly and installing back in bike. Better to make it a winter project or a no rush anytime one.

  4. Spark Plug Blown Out?

    Good to balance, but you could probably hold off for a while, although, it doesn't take long to do and should make for better throttle response and smoother idle.

  5. 4000 rpm abnormal vivrations

    Is that gear timed, counter weighted, did this vibration just start or has it been with you awhile? I would think the o-rings would be to control oil flow, either restricting or sealing.

  6. Drag Bike Build

    In the third picture, is that a bad spot in the wheel or just debris. Looking good.

  7. Operation Blackie

    Congratulations on your retirement.

  8. Rebuilding motorcycle after timing chain skip 62K Km

    I haven't seen the Rocket 3 dis-assembled but your picture makes me wonder why you couldn't hold cylinders in place with a couple bolts and washers and remove pistons and rods out the top. Unbolting rods thru openings after removing bottom pan cover. But again, I've never seen this engine up...

  9. Rebuilding motorcycle after timing chain skip 62K Km

    I've got a 05 Rocket III 2300, and I bought a ring compressor that's sized to correct bore and you simply push piston assembly in from top of bore. Simple and effective tool.

  10. 17in rear by Taylor Made

    Lots of machine work, looks great, congratulations.

  11. Transmission questions

    Unless oil drained past the rings and back to pan in between time you removed the head.

  12. Transmission questions

    Glad you didn't get a hydraulic lock, causes bent rods and other problems.

  13. Rebuilding motorcycle after timing chain skip 62K Km

    Sorry didn't see you had the newer model. I'm still living in the past.

  14. Rebuilding motorcycle after timing chain skip 62K Km

    Liners need to be removed, cleaned, resealed and held down with bolt and washer so can't move. Best advice buy/get an engine shop manual.

  15. Spark Plug Blown Out?

    Agree, but you aren't threading a new hole just removing probably carbon deposit and possibly small flakes of aluminum. Heat and compression should take care of that. If not, you have an excuse to get an up close and personal look inside of the beast.
