1st don't tell them you're gonna use it on a metric bike.
tell'm your dad is stuck somewhere and you need to take him a replacement.
somewhere=anywhere there's not a HD dealership for a 100 miles.

Hmmm.... Maybe that's why I could never get the dealerships to sell me a takeoff muffler. I tended to tell them what it was for. I think they would claim that they didn't have any.

They should be easier to find on EBay anyway.

Harleys lawyers told them to do that. That way when someone installs one a bike that had previously not leaked oil and suddenly starts hemorrhaging oil when it is installed then they can't sue.

Finally found a take - off Dyna on Craigs list! Would try to install it this afternoon but it's about 105 degrees in my garage so it will have to wait til' morning when it cools down to 85.

Turn the petcock off, remove front seat, unbolt, and lift away. You may need to disconnect the speedometer cable (easy just don't get dirt in there), the fuel line, and some electrical stuff. Whatever you do, be careful not to strip the carb screws. They can be tough.

After I did it a half dozen times, I just said to hell with it and did it in place.

If you got a ratchet strap, hook one end on the right upper shock stud, take the strap around the front of the bat box, and hook it to the axle adjuster. tighten till the bat box clears the bottom of the carb.

then it'll be easy to drop the bowl.
