Coming back from New Braunfels I was wondering where the hell all this oil was coming from. Well, my damn vent pipe broke where it was brazed.

Oil reference
Heres what Harley panhead manuals say about recommended oil. 105 for summer and 75 for winter. Notice that you can't find that heavy of shit anywhere? Read the last 3 lines, that's why......

What inspired me
These to bikes are a large part of what inspired me to push for a big flatty. One that I watched Kevin Baas post periodic pics of that was never finished. The other, which was sitting beside my '50 pan when I was making my mind up on which one I wanted. Luckily my brother got it and I slobber over it daily. Hard choice if you no you cant have both, just gotta pick. But I guess it all works out. Most people I know would care less over a big flatty, but me, they have deep history. They were side by side the knuckle during the war. Probably saw more police production action to. Hell, they can hang with a fuckin evo!!! And look good doing it.

Parkerizing 101
Nothing to it if your able to remove all the chrome. That's hard as hell, but parkerizing is simple. Turned out nice.

Time for a change
My frame had hacked up floorboard tabs, along with other stuff I fixed earlier, so I'm going to mount new ones. The existing tabs were also missed placed. Now I have collected OEM boards, a way better rocker clutch and a reparkerized jiffy stand. Plus a lot of the stuff I took off I'm going to blast and parkerize as well. Next couple of weeks are going to be interesting .
