Put new voltage regulator and circuit breaker in, cleaned back wheel like new however, still need stator and rotor, plus I think I need a rear brake master cylinder. All minor stuff as the bike has 62k miles on it and all the stuff is original. Hopefully by spring I will be ready to ride again.

Getting out in the garage is one of the things that I enjoy most. I been building one this mustang for a few years. It's a 1991 with afr165 heads, tf stage 1 cam, cobra intake ported to match the heads, s-trim supercharger at 9 pounds boost, astro performance t5 transmission, built suspension and rearend. Im sill not done with it yet.http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/16/01/03/232710f35ef54b129833e047d70eba8b.jpg

Nice! What does she run in the 1/4? Wish i still had my 04 Cobra I was running 12's in the 1/4 with no major mods. I have a lot in my Softail, but for long cruises I am looking at an 2015 Ultra Classic Limited in blue.

Haven't had it at the track yet. It dynoed a little over 500rwhp. If she hooks good it should be in the 10's. I think she'll be in the 120's but needs a good 60ft.

Trying to get tbe compensator nut off to replace stator. It's torqued to like 165 ft⋅lbs and has been on since factory built in 2006. I have tried like hell to remove it. Heat, applying around 500ft⋅lbs torque (breaker bar and I am not a small dude either) and it will not come loose.

You can see on the rotor corrosion and crap from where the stator fried.

Best bet is a impact wrench will loosen it. If you have a air compressor you can pickup one under 100.00 that should get it loosened.

Tried that. Have to be careful or could mess up crankshaft balance

U positive it's not reverse threads? U need a serious impact gun. Probably something that's $400 +. An average gun with a tiny compressor won't cut it......

Also try using a quality penetrating oil applied serval times and let it sit overnight. I've had good luck with PB blaster penetrating oil. Lowes carries it. Zep also makes good stuff.

IG is 100% accurate in the PB Blaster. I call it cat piss! Stuff works very good. Also try the old plink method, get a wrench on it on give it a nice trap with a steel mallet. A lot of time that little plink will break it lose. Don't put too much heat on it though!!

Threadsbarbinternal and hidden from access. Unfortunately cant use impact gun. will mess up engine. positive threads are right handed. this is common problem on Harley compensator.

I think that IG might be right on the reverse threads. I would call a Harley dealer just to make sure.

I have yet to get on a bike. People driving cars are crazy where I live, and the city doesn't take care of the roads.
