08 Fat Boy.
From just north of Saigon it's a long way to the HD parts department. After hooking the fuel line back up to the check valve, fuel was leaking by the o-ring. Destroyed it during removal and found one localy that I had to sand down to fit. Thought it fit well, but when starting the bike the pressure was blowing fuel by the o-ring.
Maybe the rubber was harder than original and scratches from the emery cloth didn't allow a good seat. Will try again and work down to very fine sandpaper finish.
The auxillary lights don't take the punishment of these road. Have replaced many at $50+ a pop. Front end has been lowered and I don't think the preload on the springs allow for any more. I have 5W oil in now, do you think a heavier oil will dampen the shock? Is special fork oil a must, or are there alternatives??
Appreciate any info and comments.
Thanks
