Over torqued the Oil Drain Plug
May you benefit by my heavy-handedness. When tightening the oil drain plug, don't torque it beyond 20lbs. I didn't use a torque wrench, and while I still claim innocence, the threads were stripped in the aluminum engine casing. I will have it repaired on Friday. More than $100 mistake.
Nomad down, Classic up - put a new battery in to run the Classic, and the ride is different as day and night (I'd forgotten). Skullatore is fast as hell, but not near as sweet handling as the Bopper. Nor is it close to as comfortable. Harley Road King handlebars, stock seat, and no windshield. Thought I was gonna blow off that sucker this morning. ![]() Be EZ with your wrenches ma brutha's and sista's..... Login or Register to Remove Ads |
