I think the 4th of July is always on the 4th. This is a leap year though....

Sounds like fun. I should be able to make it with a Deuce and a Half.

No need to work with running engines and hot parts. Magnetize the drill and the chips are attracted to the drill for easy removal.

Parkerizing is pretty easy. Do a google search for home recipes. Essentially, you need distilled water, phosphoric acid and manganese dioxide. Manganese dioxide (powder) is cheap and available at pottery shops as it is used as a glaze. Phosphoric acid at 80% can be found reasonably. Use glass or...

I am going to purchase new head gaskets, intake/manifold, rings, studs?, and whatever else I may be forgetting at the moment. I am going to have a valve job done and have the Pistons milled. If you Harley Pistons milled? That one has me curious.

From my years as an auto mechanic, a compression test is one of the first things done when diagnosing less than obvious engine problems. It would have saved much effort in this case. Glad you eventually found the problem.

Sign me up Jeff. This crossed my mind this morning. Your ears must have been ringing.

The brake light switch would be the next item to check. Switch should be normally open and have continuity when brakes applied.

Glad you enjoyed yourself. It's always nice to meet a new face. Although I may not remember your name, there's one thing that sticks in my mind.... You have really big tires!:D

Had a great time as always. The weather was nice. Lots of trail time. Great company and good cookies (thank you Lindsay). By my count, 15 trucks as of Saturday evening. The place was very busy in general but everyone seems to get out of the way of big trucks. June can't come quick enough...

I'm heading out Friday morning from 275 & Colerain. Hope to have another along if all goes well. We take 126 to 252 into Brookville and avoid the freeways. If you don't make it Thursday evening let me know.

There is perfect weather in store all week. See everyone in a few days. Drive safely.

A few from the water side. The line waiting to board the ship was at least 300 yards long. it was a beautiful day on the riverfront.

I propose the artwork should be a likeness of Lindsay with a plate of cookies. She deserves a place on our shirts like many others that have been honored.

The comment was based on my experience as a Deuce owner. I have not split the exhaust. The volume required to overcome the exhaust note would be excessive for me. I hope to get a couple more decades out of my ageing ears. I typically use an Airtronics intercom system when with a passenger so...

The Steel Soldiers Haspin Rally is held in mid June and is typically on the Haspin schedule. This is nothing but a Fall get together for those who don't want to wait until next Spring.

I'm with you there. The only viable stereo in a Deuce would be a split exhaust with an additional stack on the left side.

They say timing is everything. I spent the last week of August in Phelan. I had forgotten how much I missed the Mojave. How I wish I could be there with you all.

The hinge bolts, both the taper head in the door side and the button head in the body side, are 1/4-20 (1/4 NC).

I found an easy alternative to Packard connectors for this conversion. I had an assortment of insulated butt connectors. I stripped the insulation off of some blue ones. The connector was the same diameter as a Packard. Crimp the wire in one end and insert the other in the female connector in...
