Favorite Place to order Harley Parts....?
« on: July 21, 2007, 07:21:02 AM »
What might be your favorite supplier to order your Harley parts from?  Looks like I'm in need of a chain, shift foot lever, pegs, and bunch of other stuff on my old Sportster 1200.  Thanx all.

Got some pretty good deals on a kuryaken inner primary cover and other misc. chrome pieces on ebay. They sell all kinds of parts there. Shifter and footpeg? Sounds like you laid it down, hope you're okay.

Try an "O" Ring chain if you haven't done so already. This chain has the rubber "o" rings on every link with the rollers being packed with grease.
You will find an incredible difference in the amount of times that you won't have to tighten the chain as well as the total life of it as compared to a standard chain.
This chain will still need to be lubed like you regularly do and some of those aerosols like (Chain Wax) work great while being formulated to condition and protect those "o" rings.

If your chain is currently catching or popping, or if you can pull the chain more than 1/2 the tooth lenght at the 3 O'clock position on the rear sprocket while facing the sprocket,
You will need to  replace both front & rear sprockets as they will quickly ruin the new chain if you don't.

TM7, if you guys will stop taking those Harleys out of the back of those pickups they will stop breaking down. Maybe! :o ::) ;D ;D ;D

Sorry, I just couldn't resist, poking a little at the motorcycle mechanic's training aid. ;D

glad to hear it. I don't know what kind of budget you have for this project but maybe a belt drive conversion would work better than a chain for you. I have a '90 flhs and a '98 ultra classic both with belts and after having to adjust the chain on my '79 sporty all the time as well as the tighter throttle response I won't go back to a chain drive.
