I am doing my inner clutch on a 1986 FXST new bearing and inner clutch assembly, just pressed everything in and just like before the inner clutch is hanging up when you spin it while holding the outer clutch assembly. something is rubbing in between like the bolt heads or something. I am not happy with putting it back together like that. My question is have you ever had this problem. Thanks

Over rated and over priced. I also, have had back surgery and tried many seats. Can't find one any more comfortable than HD Sundowner with rider backrest. Looks like a touring seat but I'll give up looks to stay in the saddle longer.

Choosing a new seat is So difficult! The reviews are from one extreme to the other, pretty much have to take an educated guess. 50% say best seat ever! 50% say worst seat ever!

Never really had an issue with comfort or aesthetics. The Problem with Saddlemen is they are a California company and their ideaology is that everyone is a criminal. If you have an issue with any of thier produsts and if they agree to warranty that item. Your item must be destroyed before they will send another one. CAn I take it to my Goodwill or any motorcycle outlet and donate it. ABSOLUTELY NOT! Compare that to Vortex optics. Anything happens to your 2k dollar scope, send it back, no questions asked, you get another one. Just sick of entitled companies that rely on thier past accomplishments and no longer care about thier customers.

+1 as far as Saddlemen not responding to inquiries. I had the same experience, luckily before I spent a huge amount of money on one of their seats. I figured if they can't be bothered with questions from their customers prior to a sale, I would definitely be ignored after I made the purchase. As a result, I will never own a Saddlemen seat.

The log truck 🤦♂️ and the cop, almost seems like they knew each other and nobody could believe that situation but it is what it is and we still enjoyed the rest of our trip for the most part. We definitely need to plan out the next one 🤘🤠👍..

Overall a very helpful video. However, I encountered a "little" extra step for my 1986 FXRS-SP. In the big Clymer manual, in chapter 5 (page 260) in the bottom left hand corner there is a step 8, part of which states: "On models so equiped...... Then remove the two lower bolts (B, Figure128) from behind the case (not shown)." Figure 128 on page 258 has 2 arrows labeled "B" pointing to where these bolts are located on the back side of the inner primary. Needless to say, this caused me a bit of grief because my inner primary case wouldn't budge when all the other bolts were removed. Once I re-read the manual and found this step it all clicked. Aside from the pain in the ass to remove these two bolts, it was smooth sailing.

I need to check the bearing behind the clutch basket on my 87 fLhtc. Do you think its the same process ? I have already the puller but without the long screws like yours and i m wondering if it will be easy to find. There is s little play on the clutch basket and when i open the throttle there's a strange sound like a birt singing (!!!) and i think its that bearing so i have to check it. I hope i dont have to take all the case out but only the compensator and the clutch. Thank you for the video 👍🏼

@@texasrider4D5 thanks! Got it fixed. And a lesson I learned. Just because you get a stock OEM fuel pump, and pay the big bucks for it, doesn't mean it's put together correct. It was missing an internal O-ring. That caused the whole system to malfunction. I only noticed it once I pulled it apart 2x and double checked everything. The OEM part was even signed off on by the manufacturer.... Crazy, but check their work before you install. 👍🏼😎

Your going to need to either lock the primary up with the chain lock tool, or put the wheel on the ground and secure the bike so it doesn't roll. It may require 2 people if you don't have the right tool.
