Thanks for the feedback. I was lucky to find a good used harness on ebay for a carbureted bike. I think they are getting a bit scarce because there were only so many carbureted bikes built and that Harley part is now discontinued. I believe that some of the other folks are getting new harness from a company called Namz?

@ariesmarsexpressАй бұрын
I have a set of these getting delivered tomorrow. I can't wait to get them. I think the reason the buckles are 2 each way is that it is protection against not having some obstruction or accident rip them all open facing the same direction. The "replaceable insert" is removed with heat, peeled away and a new one is glued in place. Actually, the entire heel of the boot can be removed the same way and replaced so long as you don't wear it down into the boot itself. I think to have the whole heel done you have to send it in. Or you can send them to MX Boot repair and they will do it for like $200.
@busabobsgarage9876Ай бұрын
That makes sense on the buckles. I'm getting ready to really test these boots on the NORCAL BDR. I guess the biggest concern will be wearing them all day, multiple days, in the heat. I suppose it would be the same concern with any boot.

Did you increase your tire size after you installed the leveling kit? I'm thinking of doing the same but worried that the tires will look undersized (and they're new-ish)... so thinking of waiting until I need new tires. But your setup looks good... what size tires are they?
@busabobsgarage98762 ай бұрын
The previous owner must have changed the tire size. It now has 275/60R20, which is about equal to 33". According to the interweb, the stock tire for the Bighorn should be 275/65R18, approx 34". If this is correct, it looks like someone may have put on a smaller tire with bigger rim. Not sure if it makes sense, but in my opinion, it doesn't look too bad. If you are going to change rims, be careful with the offset. If you go too far positive, your tires will hit the wheel wheelwells. I don't have exact specs, but learned this the hard way with an expensive set of rims on a chevy avalanche. Best advice is "do your research ".
@kensalinger21862 ай бұрын
@@busabobsgarage9876 Hmm... I wonder if I can get away with the leveling kit now.. I just bought it a little over a week ago (2022 Laramie). As I mentioned, the tires look almost brand new.

Few things I would suggest since I did this job months ago… 1. Get an upgraded balancer and bolt if you haven’t already or you’ll be doing this job again later; when the stock balancer separates 2. I’d do the oil pump/ o ring (it’s a common failure item after about 100,000 miles according to old forums) timing chain, timing sprockets and the cam retainer gasket… you’ll be pretty much there when you remove the water pump 3. High pressure line coming out of the PS pump is a common failure and definitely easiest to do with the rack out

Congrats on your Road King! I believe that the 98 still has the EVO engine, not the TC88. You didn't say if it is carbureted or fuel injected. If it is injected via the Magneti Marelli, that would be the first thing I would think about swapping out for a carburetor. You will get your biggest gains for the buck with intake, exhaust, and a cam. Even with that, it's not going to be a race bike, but you will be able to pass a truck on the highway. You can get some more gains with higher compression pistons and maybe some head work, but it starts to get pricey when you get into the heads and it is diminishing returns. My best advice is "do your research" before you start dumping in a bunch of money. Good luck on the project!
@cowboy7x2 ай бұрын
I believe he mentioned that it was fuel injected in the first video. I have this exact bike (only 96) same color even, and I agree with you that I would have switched to carb and dumped the EFI. Mine was in a little better shape when I got it (17,000 miles) and it runs like a top after a carb rebuild and new coil.

Also, if you watched my other vid all the way through (mm to carb conversion), it shows the differences between the wiring. Theoretically, you should be able to pull your ecm and that entire harness out of there. I would start by checking the stock carbureted wiring diagram against what the ignition diagram is telling you to connect.
