| Looks good, keep the pics of your fat-tire harley project coming.
I'd also like to know about that lift. My motorcycle jack blew its seals so its time for a decent lift. I'm preparing for a big bore build and cam upgrade so a good lift will come in handy. | |

| You got it Chuck....Harbour freight, $299.00. I think it works fine, goes up and down, has a bar that locks thru some holes to prevent accidental descent, (sorry only term I could come up with at 6am) and has a panel that comes out for rear tire removal, however I never used it. It's also on steel wheels and rolls pretty easily. Also some screw down "bolts" in front to prevent rolling around. It's also sturdy, I've stood on the lift and picked the back of the bike up to get the wooden blocks under it, while it was up and while it was down. A little scary with it up in the air and me on it, but nevertheless it worked. What can I say, I'm not the smartest cat in the litterbox, ya know?!  | |

| I've been lookin' at them harbor freight lifts, too. Rather have a pneumatic, but heck, for the price, looks good.
Yeah, keep us up to date on the project with that new camera. How the heck did I ever get by without a digital camera? Oh, yeah, I didn't have a computer.... | |

| Yeah, the pneumatic would have been nice, but for the price and how many times you really go up and down. And, as long as my legs still work......
I'm dropping all my stuff off for powder coat on Tuesday, should have it back in a week or so. As far as the digital camera goes, I never had one before and it's really cool, works like a charm! I'm used to the old film canister style. | |

| Some updated pics of the project, and my front wheel. (obviously not put on yet) I finally got the primary back on and re-adjusted again. Would you believe my chain tension was off and the dealer had adjusted it when they did the trans work for the wide tire kit? I towed the bike home so it's not like it had any mileage on it to stretch the chain either. The book says 5/8"-7/8" and they had it at almost 1-1/8"....what A-holes. And they're supposed to be A mechanics, go figure. (See Fire, they mess with guys too! If I hadn't checked it, I never would have known) Anyway, I'm sure I'll get varying responses on this, but who recommends what for primary lube? (besides what the service manual says) Thanks in advance. More pics to come as I progress. Have a great New Year all! | |

| Be a good time to put a M6 or hydrualic chain tensioner on.! Won't have to mess with that adjustment again! | |

| I'd second that recommendation for a Hayden M6 or similar tensioner. You'll love how it improves shifting as well.
In regards to oil for your primary, I use amsoil 10W-40 MCF in mine, but any 10w40 motorcycle oil will do. With a Harley primary the goal is cooling more than lubrication, but you want to avoid motor oils that contain a friction modifier which can mess with your wet clutch. | |

| Last year I switched to running Type F automatic transmission fluid in the primary. There was a long discussion on its merits on HTT; and it just made sense to me. If there is any kind of 'worry' at all about using a fluid that may make the clutch plates slip, why not use a fluid that is specifically designed for use with clutch plates? The only other purpose for the oil in that cavity is to provide a light lubing for the chain. ATF handles both perfectly. Another benefit I like about running it, is its color. If I had a red drop of oil on the ground, I know where to look for the leak. | |

| Damn, you guys had to wait until I finished putting it all back together before telling me about that other tensioner, huh?!  Now y'all got me thinkin about rippin it apart again. What's my advantages of the other tensioner? Besides the fact that the one in there looks like a cheap plasticy/nylon thing....Thanks for the advice (seriously) | |

The spring or hydraulic auto tensioners like the Hayden M-6 and the hb125 can continually adjust for the slop in the chain, taking out the chain whip. Its better for the chain, and makes for slightly better shifting.
If these post correctly, you can see just how well these work. The tensioner used in this display was the HB125 hydraulic unit.
The first one shows the chain whip with the stock chain tensioner and the second shows the auto-tensioner on the primary chain. | |

| WOW!! That's quite a difference! I never realized. And with my right hand twisting problem, (hehehe), it looks like it would be a huge improvement. I guess I'm tearing her apart again! Thanks for the pic. | |
