The frame was designed in the 1970's with the XLCR so Harley could justify charging more money for the Sportster!

@@jfrost77hd the rubber stopper for the trans oil fill originally had a steel dipstick inserted into it. If the stopper was fixed by the previous owner by pulling the dipstick out of the rubber stopper you are golden. If the dipstick is still in the stopper it is very bad. The dipstick will vibrate and rub against the primary drive gear. This will grind the dipstick in the middle into steel powder in the trans oil, Eventually the grinding will grind the dipstick in half and drop the bottom half into the trans gears. It happens in less than 1,000 miles from new. Checking the trans oil for steel powder is important, the powder will spoil the ball bearings.

Hey I know this is an older video but, do you know if the resistor has to be out and off the back of the gauge to test it? I have a 71 c10. I unplugged dash harness to prevent any interference with the key off and took the top nuts off that hold the circuit board down. The resistor nuts are still on and it’s reading 40 ohms. I’m afraid to tear the circuit board trying to get it over the posts/pegs. Thank you! or to anyone with any input or help!
