Re: Ride your bike to work day
john gary simpson
It's scary in every big city, and thanks to the explosion of available?automotive electronic entertainment, it's getting scary everywhere! I can't tell you ho many dash-mounted DVD players I see operating WHILE the driver is driving, often with no passenger!

Re: Tank seam flanges
Get some plastic chrome molding (the kind that goes on door edges).? Finishes off the flange quite nicely.

Re: While we're on the subject of HDs...
john gary simpson
Since many of you collect and appreciate unusual motorcycles, let me advise you that??the 1999-2000 Excelsior Henderson uses a copy of the V-Max cassette tranny, but with differnt top ratios.? Unfortunately?EH put them together REALLY sloppily, so if any of you have, or are contemplating getting a Super X, be advised that you MUST rebush the tranny before riding the X and use circlips in reassembly or you run a GREAT risk of locking up the tranny at speed!

The gears are tough, but I've cracked the case before.

Re: Oil/ Oil Additives
john gary simpson
Back when I was a kid (before electronic ignition, synthetic oil, cable TV etc)one school of thought was that if you broke an engine in HARD it would be faster on the track. But synthetic STILL can prevent ring seating since modern engines are held to about 200 degrees and synthetics break down way higher than that. In (air cooled)? motorcycles though, that is NOT the case! Excelsior Hendersons run quite hot, but I still never saw mine get the oil above 325 degrees.
