88 CI to 98 CI UPGRADE

Never understood what the big thrill was of the "Start Up" was... :roflmao:

I used to watch how they kickstarted the panheads, ironheads and shovels. I think a lot of 'em showed off by kick starting their bikes AFTER they had been warmed up LOL.

Did all that back in the 60's and 70's and all
I rode a 64 on for a while. Back then it was a great bike

theres videos on you tube on how to kick start your bike?? boy sh*ts sure changed since i started riding

Sure has. There's one of a 12 year old girl kickstarting a shovelhead - just barely - and no doubt the motor was already cleaned out, choked and warmed up. But some of the other ones are morons, or as we say around here: mow-rons.

Today I will be focusing on getting the small items prepared to go back together. I have to take a two hour road trip down to Faribault HD to pick up an S&S outer gear drive Key. Long story....:rant: One of my connections came up big for me but was close to disaster. I will be setting up an 8 ft. table that I will be able to place my parts and tools on so I have everything out of my way/ I will even clean the leaves out of the garage too... :witsend: Next Thursday, I will be home from work for the following two days for a total of 4 to get this bike back up and running. I am sure that I will have the bike up an running by Friday, providing that there are no unforeseen issues like piston to valve issues or deck height issues. I am really excited now.

Photos!!!!!
:worthless:

Yes, when I actually get going on it I will be posting pictures, but not until she is up and running!!!! There may be a big surprise for you all as well..

I agree I want to see!!!!!

That is like poetry..... But not really....:roflmao::roflmao:

I want to see too. I also want to see it stop snowing which it is doing again today. . If you get the bike up and running next week JB, maybe the snow will be done by then.

I completely know what you mean dude. I am so tired of this winter already that it has spawned conversation with my wife about moving out of Minnesota and to a more tropical type environment. It is sleeting out at the moment!!!!!

Hey JB....Mother Nature is just waiting to hear your 1st heat cycle,then the snow will stop,you'll get 2 days of rain to wash the roads off,then the sun comes out and you can do your break in

But you gotta post some pics for that to happen!!:roflmao:

Man I hope that is how it happens..

I will soon know what that feeling is like. I am pretty stoked.

Today I got out to the garage, cleaned the leaves out of it, organized tools, staged them and also staged parts in preparation for the reassembly on Thursday. Get ready for a lot of pictures on the way. for Part II is about to begin.

Stare at your avatar for a couple minutes.

:roflmao::roflmao:

Tomorrow is the Day!!! Be ready for a bunch of pictures here in the next few days as the Road Glide is going back together. I jsut got back back from the machine shop to let him know that the bike is about to go back together and that I may need him to do some work. We are set. I do think that I will be back and running by mid to late morning Friday.
