Hi Dejan. A few comments on your rebuild to hopefully help make things a bit sweeter for you: There are several US makers of the main brgs for the electra X,...
Belated advise, but never the less... ALLWAYS stop the ES bikes with the Decomp/valve lifter. NEVER by the key, NEVER! Most of the damage to the sprag brg...
Just back from ride in Ladakh on my '96 500 Cast Iron. Simply superb despite the bad weather at the beginning of the ride. Tried my hand at filming the ride...
Good one HMR, I have been doing ladakh for the last 9-10 years and it has always a diffrent ride yet more intresting and satisfying every time. Regards Rajnish...

Hi Tim, The machinist, who is a race engine builder, couldn't find it among his usual sources so we looked no further. The big end: the engine was rebuilt a...
Well, it's took me from January, but I finally finished my 612 nut & bolt restoration 91 bullet! All I have left to do now is get the sucker to run! :) heres a...
Magnificent, Malc. What is the story behind the Bull on the plate below the headlight? A really nice touch on an all around lovely bike. David in Fort...
Ab fab, Malcolm! That bike wants to be ridden - now! On second thought, don't ride it - send it over here for me to test out first. I'll get it right,...
... Wow! I love your rides HMR, keep em coming. It does me good to see guys riding regular Bullets to places like this. No big dual-sports with knobbly tires...
Damon is right--the fact that these are 'regular bullets going for a ride" is awesome. And though the word 'breathtaking' is used too much, of too many lesser...
... Malc, Your bike really looks together now - very nice and quite impressive as well. I thought you had painted the tappet cover and it looked good, but I...
... Congrats Malc. I can't wait to see the pics. I'm behind a firewall right now that blocks sites like photobucket, youtube, etc. so I will have to wait until...
... A CAR "race engine builder", perhaps? My experience has been that Hot Rodders have little patience for learning the differences with motorcycle engines....
Hello Pete, Here is a picture of the offending gasket and the piston/cylinder. The mechanic isn't the hot-rodder you imagine. He is an old guy who has...
Thats how we do it in India, My last trip to Ladakh I met many people riding even smaller machines 125CC bikes with all loads of stuff on it. Though the fun of...
Good day to all :-) Hope everyone is well? Just a quicky (maybe!) managed to get all issues with the electra x sorted, only to have something else go wrong!!...
... I admire your riding ability, HMR. Not only is there a dangerous drop off along the road, I can see in the video, but the grade is such that you must have...
I found out what the clack was--the gearbox cover--the outer one--was loose. I tightened it up & thought all would be well but, in the morning I had no...
Do you have a 4 or 5 speed gearbox? The 4 speed has a clutch lever attached the the outer cover, so a loose outer cover could very well cause clutch...
After putting on three or four hundred miles and running it hard a couple of times I took the cylinder head off for inspection to see if there were any...
G'day CJay, Always interesting to hear of your engineering experiments. If you still get problems with a leak in this region, you might like to think about...
... I think it would better be termed "feel of compression," which was lost because of the clutch slipping. Because the linkage was set too tight. With the...
