Now I really like those Triumphs, Great looking machines!

There is an add in our last magazine that listed a build up coating for cylinder walls. You may want to give them a call, you cannot miss the add. What is the piston diameter and what seals it to the...

So I take it you shooting the laser parallel with the roto and measuring the laser lines just in front of the bike? My sidecar frame was not quite level for and aft and the bike also leans away from...

Call Jim's Harley-Davidson in Mendon, Ohio and ask for Jim. https://www.jimsharley-davidson.com

Ok, I ran into 2 styles of mid-star hubs that I need information on??? The difference being what Harley references 16" wheels to an A-hub, inside rows of spokes same direction, and a B-hub, inside...

Do you seat the spokes in the hub with a flat punch and hammer and re-tighten the spokes per Harley FL manual?

Happy belated Easter to you!

Hello Chuck,
What a reply! I see the arbor is resting on bearings of your truing stand. My truing stand is an original Harley from long ago, which does not have bearings. I did find out the...

Yes it is an improvement. Have you driven your bike yet? I have talked with some people that changed the dics to drum because it works a little too good. If that were the case, an adjustable...

Hello,
The mounts you have now are worth a grand and the 5 speed sidecar that you have now is worth a lot more than a 4 speed fiberglass sidecar. I traded my 5 speed frame with the entire wheel...

I hope I am not too late with my reply.
I hate to burst your bubble on your project, but beware, the 5 speed sidecar frame will not fit on the 4 speed frame bike. You can change out the S bar with...

Do you mean the British war bike James? I found a James ww2 bike the other day, but it was missing the brake assemblies and backing plates. I would have bought it if I knew where to find the parts....

The rims that are laced to the hubs that came off my bike are pretty old. They do not have the safety bead lock and do not have the pronounced bent in radius edge that goes against the tire. I need...

Tom,
That sounds like a great idea. I think I can do it on my truing stand, but if I cannot, I can sure do it on my bike. I sure hope I can get the swing of it so not to delay my build too...

Hello,
No welding is needed on the frame, there are tabs on the seats that go under the frame behind the gas tanks. However, a small hole needs to be drilled in the rear fender to hold the back of...

He must have had a v or roller bearings on the top of his stand. Did you check truness after the drum was put on? I found they change a lot from changing the drums around or just rotating the drums....

I painted my rear in 1995 and had no issues what so ever and it was a tri-coat with chipping or what not. I sealed the metal with ppg dp 90 epoxy primer(nla), masked the hinge, then hit it with 2...

You are very welcome! How does it run?

Ken, Is your sidecar an export for Britain?

You can bet it is not the great US of A going through that translator. I just looked it up and he is in Espoo, Finland.

Can you still send Harley older blown cases and have them replaced with the blown cases serial number on them, say shovelheads back?

It is pretty simple really, you should have voltage to the + side of the coil, - from coil to through distributor to the points and condenser. If you have all of that, burnish the points with points...

Thank you Chris!

Thanks guys, I will contact them and see what they say.

Welcome Sasha! You have some nice bikes! You will find a wealth of knowledge here from a bunch of great guys!
