hi all.

 If you remember,when I reassembled the engine, I reused the old piston rings and hand lapped the valves, so I have put some miles on the bike. I did a compression test yesterday, and had 175lbs in all four cylinders.

I think that the engine is good enough for me to fix the suspension by replacing the springs front and rear. I'll let you all know how that goes.

:)

Hello,

I have an 85 LTD and I have the mysterious clunk noise that only happens after about ½ tire rotation under a load or starting on a slight incline. As there are a lot of posts and all different models, years and milage, even new with no miles on one bike mentioned I am really sure that this is just inherent to the beast. I have been a Porsche/Audi and Foregone auto Tech. for 30 years and seen a lot of things that are just in there and it is something that just cannot be found and/or repaired. I am really sure if the shaft with the ramp on it were replaced with a complete new one the noise would probably still be there. I am not being a negative person but I do not think that the noise can be removed.

I would like too here from ane one that has been able to find and/or fix the problem and I am not the only one that would be elated too here,

I GOT IT!!! IT IS!!!

Good to see everyone here; :waving::hallo:

Carter

I am new to this forum......
Could you point me in the direction of some info on the external alternator for the 1200?
I had my 84 Wing in for the start of season tune and the shop suggests the Stator is shot.  This is estimated by them to be around $2000.00 + to correct!!!!
Thanks.....

hadams
welcome to the forum
Go to the Reference and FAQ section and search poorboy you will get more info than you know what to do with. The Poorboy kit is $150ish plus an altenator.
Good Luck
Cerfer

I would stick with the OEM setup if it was me. 

You can get an 500 watt stator for 144.00

I definately wouldn't stick to the original stator set up. it's a well documented weak spot. Originality is fine- when it works!....Steve
