hello to all,
I am new to posting but have been reading here a long time.Alot of good information here as well. I have been building@riding bikes for 30yrs now.
Two 45"solos and three servicars over the years.too many newer harleys to count, I hate to admit this but I have had 4 new harleys in the past 2yrs.springers,baggers ect. Sounds nuts but I just wasn't happy seeing my same bike on every street corner.So I traded a my new springer and my daily ride to a nice man in tennesee who just couldn't enjoy starting and riding his 56 pan flh anymore.We swapped straight up. He was happy to ride again and I was also to have a bike you won't see on every corner.
Along the line 25-30yrs ago someone cut the tank mount and steering damper stabilizer off. I need a nice replacement I can tig back on and make it look as good as new.
Any Ideas where I can buy one? Thank you-Tim

Chris Haynes said, the damper pin was used mostly when tightening the damper knob down for side-car use. My knuckle frame w/ glide forks doesn't have a pin boss on the frame. I removed the yoke plate from the damper assembly and just tightened down the knob. I don't know of anyone that makes the cast anchor pin boss for the frame, but as kits become popular and Knuckle-Glides start being built, someone will start to cast them. They cast aluminum relay bosses for the early STD crankcases (I have one). When there's a demand, parts get made.

56! Put the photo on your desktop with .jpg at the end of the file name. Go to http://www.imageshack.us/.
Hit choose file. Find the photo on your desktop. Click open. Check "resize" and"remove thumbnail resolution" boxes. Open the dropdown menu bar and click 640 x 480 resolution. Hit host it. Wait a minute, then copy the url bar in the middle of the page that says hotlink for forums (1), then paste the pic here on your post. Try it about 5 times till you get it down, then tell other people. This re-sizing part of the photo process is part of boot camp. We're building our own school here.
Yea, i know you know all this, but I'm saying it for the other people that lurk.

If you're not going to daily drive it, I'd go stock 6V. Okay, I didn't want to say it, but...... 6 volt is it's own club.
Low volt headlight traveling through a glen...hark!....the antique rider. Something is very comforting about the dim glow around the speedometer and the headlight on Hi-beam. My vote is 6 volt.
