All you would need is the sprocket for your chain/belt. Set of old style dresser handlebars and a set of buckhorn handlebars. A set of Progressive rear shocks, next to new condition. Have a set of front turn signal and aux lights, that mount to the upper portion of the tripple tree. Gives the bike a nece look, plus nice addioional light at night. Also have a set of rear footpeg extensions. The pipes on the bike when I bought it, were to high for the stock mount, so had to raise them so the spouse had a place to put her feet. hehe All parts are in very good condition and would be an asset to any bike. If anyone is interested, let me know and I will send a pic and price. less

My winter 'Tear-Down' project this year includes replacing the valve cover gaskets. I have gotten all the stuff off of my 1985 FLHTC that needs to come off (gas tank, seat etc) and I have read the HD service manual to familiarize my brain w/the procedure. I am a good wrench and have done a LOT of this type of work, so I'm not afraid of whatever has to be done. Up to and including R&R of the motor.
The thing I want to know, do I have to pull the motor to change the valve cover gaskets? All but two of the 8 screws in the valve covers are accessable. Rear cylinder left side are like mebbe 1/2" from the frame. I already have a gasket kit for the primary/valve covers/exhaust/heads/etc... I was gonna just replace the valve cover & primary inner/outer gaskets (she has a wet clutch/primary chain) cause she's flinging more oil than is acceptable. If so, I might as well pull the heads & inspect the bore/pistons while... less
