Hi. My names Glenn, and I have owned sportys and Buells for over 20 years. Got a grey beard so thought I would get an electra glide. Thought I was getting a low mileage 1990 evo. Turned out it was a big bag of shit with holes rusted through the frame (covered up with silicone and paint) a dry primary with rust and a stuffed chain and guide as well as a huge plethora of other issues (belt, brakes carb etc.) Anyway, this forum helped in many ways so I thought I would join. Maybe I could share how I sorted it all out with others who are having the same issues. Here's a pick

Howdy, Glenn. Welcome. All info is always welcomed. Never know when you might need it yourself! See you on an SA ride. Plenty of baggers out there.

Thanks for the replies. At the moment the bikes going fine. I've put 600kms on it since fixing it. And the upside is I know how to change the bearings and seals on an inner primary as well as belts, chains, brakes etc. Hopefully I wont have to find out about the motor for a while:)
