Have never been a Harley fan - sounds anti-American I know. For me it's always been old school British or German thumpers for around town, and BMWs for the long trips. Most all the long rides for me were overseas, and there was zero support for Harleys, so I fell in love with the BMW airheads. They were everywhere, were reliable as a Swiss watch, and on the rare occasions you broke down it was easy to find parts anywhere. Anyhow, I digress. In 1960 I was the proud owner of a 1957 BMW 750. In June 1961 I departed Fuenterabia, Spain for a little trip around Europe. On 15th July I got back and walked into the orderly room. 1st sgt Perez took one look and his first words were, ". Just where in @*%@blankity blank blank have YOU been. Didn't lose any stripes over it but did cost me 15 days restriction. The Beemer was faultless. Never missed a stroke.

There was a car built in the late forties, early fifties with a manual transmission and fluid clutch. I think it was a Chrysler . Maybe we should think about bring ing it back.

Did you remove the cap and visually check? Some bikes have a selector valve that you have to switch to get the bottom contents of the tank.

Any body her going to make it into town for the Street Rod Nationals this weekend?

Was riding a bike B4 I ever got behind the wheel of a cage. Was a 1948 HD125. Was an Italian bike but was being sold in the states thru Harley dealers as a Harley. Don't do anything stupid and keep a eye out for cars. Like it or not they're bigger than a bike and can do a number on you if you mess with one. The most common phrase heard heard by police officers investigating a bike/cage crash is " I didn't see him." Have fun and enjoy.

The Dukes Of Hazard was a farce and a phoney. They used a cleverly designed aircraft to pull of many of those stunts. :doh:

[Hint: It ain't rocket science. Even I can put an engine together and have it run.] I once picked up a surplus rocket engine from NASA down at Cape Canaveral. Mounted it in a '55 CJ. It fired the minute I hit the start button. Haven't seen the Jeep or the engine since.

Peer pressure.

Get a copy of electrical troubleshooting 8980 010 082 for the 1986 Comanche would be a good start.

^^^^ What he said. X2.

I guess that makes my $2 Zimbabwe bill kind of superficial. :dunno:

The biggy on using the truck frame is where does the axle fit? If it sits to the rear of the center of the bed, great. If it sits directly in the middle it's still OK. If it sits in the front of the bed you will have a tail heavy trailer, a whipper. Idealy you want a 60/40 ratio with 60 percent of the trailer weight resting on the ball.

Pete. Are you looking for something special or just pics in general? I had one one trailer I made out of a MJ bed but sold it a year ago. No pics. Getting ready to build a couple more since I seem to have a couple extra beds lying ,laying? around. It'l be a couple days ,weeks? before I get around to them. Jim

Just got back from doing something I thought I'd never do. Ran 3 MJ's across the scales Guess anythings possible when ya get ticked off enough. One was a stripped body. One was complete but not running and one I drove onto the scales. :fs1: Cetting a couple more ready to go tomorrow.

That's a hair over 1708 cubic inches.

A little duct tape, can of body mud, Earl Schwaab special, Good as new.

I have several MJ that I am selling for $300 each. Some are complete and running. Some are just empty shells. All have busted windshields and extensive hail damage. Distance is the deal killer here.

Steering column? Who needs 'em? :dunno:

I had the volume turned up when it started. Got to get the ladder now and get the wife off the ceiling

WOW!!!

Got six of them out back. Two original and four after market.

In your case, I think I would suggest building one from scratch. Shipping would be a real killer.

Clean pedal. cover with a coat of epoxy. Before the epoxy sets, sprinkle a thin layer of coarse gravel. Don't use until epoxy has set.

I still consider my truck more reliable than any of the boyfriends I've had... :rotf: I know how to figure out what's wrong with my truck! So instead of a boy friend, why don't you try getting a man friend? :brows:

Yes. But only if the engine is running or has been cycled.
