I also have a 90 with a 1275 kit and it rips, magnets failed in the rotor, can’t find aftermarket parts. Local Harley don’t work on stuff older then 2000. Where do I get the sealed parts the faster upgraded stuff. If I gotta spend money I wanna go faster at least look cooler. Nothin beats crack in the throttle and all the guys in the big bikes look over with that look of bewilderment.

Great video Dan just like all your other videos too. Would be nice if you could make one on changing the shifting forks too. Since I may need to replace my second gear one, it's starting to slip out once in a while and I think its starting to go. But I may not need it either since I am fairly mechanical. I already put on your 120hp kit and its running very good. I still have some fine tuning to do though since I didn't get it dyno tested yet. Thanks for all your help and advice that you have given me. Have a blessed day.

@thakery57204 жыл бұрын
When I have had a torx screw 'round out' as they sometimes do, I find that a hex socket driver (or Allen driver) can be gently tapped into the screw head and enable it to be removed - it pays to have both imperial and metric sized drivers available. A cheap multi bit set (such as from Harbour Freight or similar) will be very helpful for this as the bits have a hexagon shaft and can be used with a good quality battery drill set up in screw mode. Torx head screws were developed so machines can assemble things and are not made with the thought of disassembly in mind.... the guy who invented cross-head screws should also have been shot at birth !

On that little C-clip you could take a basic wrench, like 3/8, place the two prongs of the open end against the clip's open end and a light tap with a mallet will take it off no problem... many many ways really but that one is something most DIY mechanics should be capable of.
