Hope everyone here had a safe season. Too short as always. I haven't been on line much since June. You'll love this, I somehow managed to take power out of my bike with that Mikuni 45. Lost ponies and foot pounds, go figure. I'll post on that later to see what you think. First a friend asked if I would replace the front motor mount on his 2006 Road King before he stores it. Apparently there was a service bulletin on it. Looks simple enough. Remove the voltage regulator. Level the bike, support the engine. Take off the old mount and install the new one. Am I missing anything that could get us in trouble. I don't like to work on anyone else's bike. But, when a friend asks for help, you help.

Back on line and back in the garage..

Changed oil and filter at 500mi, 1500, 2800, 4200mi. Using Syn3+ and 5 micron filter for all. Last oil change this week for winter set up revealed several aluminum flakes in my drain pan, like if you were looking at gold in a gold pan. I would estimate there was enough to fill up 2 little glass viles used to hold gold flakes. Pretty concerned at the moment. Called the servicing dealer, recommended flushing the pan out with some diesel and cut open filter to see if any more flakes. Flushed diesel thru it and some more aluminum flakes came out. Cut open filter and inspected element but didn't find any aluminum flakes at all, weird. Refilled and ran. No real change in performance or engine noise. Dealer said not much they can do other than wait. Question I have is is there anything obvious the aluminum could be coming from? Concerned about doing 65 and having engine seize. Any suggestions? Thanks :(.... ]]> Harley Engine dreamalaska http://www.aimag.com/forums/harley-engine/7201-aluminum-flakes-oil-pan.html
