[QUOTE="olroadbeech, post: 4903885, member: 52145"] I was gonna mention that AMF Harleys were POS but figured you knew. Before I went on my first cross country trip on that 77 , we completely tore down that bike ( every nut and bolt ) and rebuilt it right. I put dresser shocks on it cause I'm short. A larger gear on the tranny end so it could run at a lower RPM at highway speeds. Installed an oil cooler ( probably the best addition ) It has points and a condenser and found out that chevy short block points and condenser will work with this engine. Oh, I forgot one breakdown. In florida a valve stuck on the rear cylinder. Fortunately I was at my parents house for a short layover. It was fairly easy to fix. Removed head, removed valves and put high temp grease on stem and that worked. Finished putting it all together at around 3 a.m. was gonna go up to Daytona in morning so I was drag racing it up and down the street 5-6 times figuring if it was gonna blow up it would do it then. All this with straight pipes. My folks didnt say anything at the time but years later they told me neighbors were coming over the next day asking questions. [/QUOTE]
