Since its xmas, bought a present for the bike... some debate about how useful it'll be on an old Harley, which run with very low oil pressure when hot. But its reassuring to know oil is getting to the top end, and it'll be getting an oil pressure light too..
Not the most obvious location, but really only need to see it on start up..
Should have the last few machining jobs done by early Jan, then the bike will be dismantled, followed by a little welding on the fame, then powder coat, then the final build can begin. There are still problems to sort out.. will the hydraulic clutch conversion work? and how to align the chain sprockets, as they are about 8mm out. The easy way would be to move the rear wheel over to the left by 8mm, but that's a last resort.
Or the front sprocket could be moved out 8mm, that would be best, except there isn't enough 'spare' thread on the output shaft, to put a spacer behind the sprocket. The usual solution is to fit an offset front sprocket, which was my first thought. But it seems they aren't available for Ironheads (at least none I can find), as they are for later Evo Harleys. One more option.. weld two sprockets together, with the inner having its teeth machined off, and the outer having its centre removed.
