If you are upgrading your alternator with a product from EME, then I would suggest including their Enduralast/Sachse ignition system, which is “crank ...

It’s been umpteen years since I headed that direction from Kentucky, but I recall taking a stretch of US20 through the Finger Lakes region of New York...

I agree with the peening idea. A precise whack on the tip of the pin should do it. JB Weld is great stuff, and is rated as “fuel resistant”, but I’m n...

I was hoping the picture you posted was of the lady. No, it’s just an R90S. Interesting modification of the Browns sidestand.

I gave up on inch size tires for my ‘78 airhead probably 30 years ago at this point. Even at that, the selection of 120/90-18 rear tires has grown mor...

Hello again, Phil. Just to share - many years ago I had installed some less expensive aftermarket floats, along with new needles and those tiny wire ...

Wobbly might have a different answer but, I would believe that dealing with the float hinge pins would be difficult or impossible with the carbs on th...

Hello and welcome, from the bottom of Texas. I’ve been riding my ‘78 airhead for 45 years - almost seems ridiculous. Was just in Washington with it in...

Hope you got an answer to your question somewhere. Surely, lots of owners have dealt with this. My ‘78 has the old tapered roller bearings, so I don’t...

You know, I’m mis-reading your post. You said the driveline lash is back, not the roll on/off bucking. Oops! Sorry about that.

So, stock 1979 was “points-in-a-can” ignition. I’ve never dealt with one of those. I presume the advance is still then mechanical with spinning weight...

I remember your first go around with this issue. I just sent off my final drive (‘78 R100) for rebuild with new output splines. Mine were about 50-60%...

Kevin, if I can get your address, I have an old copy I can send you. I think it’s all stuck in my head now, and I can afford to part with it. Better t...

Hello from Texas. So, you are a new club member I presume. Welcome! Very nice airhead! Is it your first airhead? Yes, this forum is mighty slow. S...

Shut off the bike, shut off the fuel, park it … it becomes a habit. I slip up more with remembering to turn it back on again, and start running out of...
