Harley Davidson After Market Radio
June 13, 2008
When you buy an after market radio for a Harley Davidson motorcycle, there are a few things to keep in mind. You will need to know how many ohms your speaker outputs are, which adapter you will need, and how to open your fairing. Read on my good man, for the knowledge you seek lies herein.
Harley Davidson radios usually utilize 2 or 8 ohm speaker outputs. The speakers themselves are usually 5.25”. This is true for the 1998-2008 Harley Davidson motorcycles. Now, as for an adapter. Most after market radios for your Harley Davidson motorcycle have the appropriate adapter available with the radio. Sony has its own. So does Sirius. Actually, so does every other after market out there. They are different from each other, but will fit your Harley. Opening the fairing is wicked easy. There are seven Torx head screws. Three on the windshield and two behind the hand grips. I almost forgot to mention the two in the middle of the forks. You will need a T27 Torx head for the job. Be careful with the headlight. It would probably work best if you unplugged it before you pulled the fairing too hard and ripped the wires out. You can find everything you need on the Internet or at your local Harley shop.
Replacing your radio with an after market radio for Harley Davidson motorcycle is very simple. All you need is some information and the right tools. Both are available from Harley Davidson. Grab a manual and the driver set that came with your bike and you will be in business.

What prompts people to find a 1957 Harley Davidson for sale? Well, the Sportster was introduced that year. It was a much anticipated upgrade in performance and speed over the older K series bikes. Those had been quite disappointing in the speed department. The Sportster was pretty much the same bike as the KH models except for the overhead valves on a 55 cubic-inch V-twin engine, two-tone paint, and a new tank badge. Although the Sportster was not the only model that Harley Davidson was producing at the time, it was the only one that they revamped that year.

You can find older bikes if you prefer the WLAs or Knuckleheads.
Whatever your preference, finding a 1957 Harley Davidson for sale is a simple labor of love. If you need one, you can find a manual and spare parts just as easy. Most of these ads come with some beautiful photos for all of the window shoppers out there.

Harley Davidson Diesel Conversion – 100 mph and over 80 Miles per Gallon!
June 13, 2008
Getting a Harley Davidson to run on diesel fuel has been a goal of many projects over the years. Most developers add a diesel engine and call it quits; however a group of retired engineers came up with a diesel conversion for Harley Davidson motorcycles.
They started with a 1988 FXRS and a standard V-twin engine and , viola, a diesel conversion of a Harley Davidson was born. The goal of the group of developers was to improve engine technology for the American military, but it could become the nation’s first turbocharged, diesel-powered motorcycle available to everyday riders. The bike has the potential to top 100mph and get over 80 mpg. With todays fuel prices, those are hard to resist numbers.
As of February 2008, the project was being looked over by the military and Harley Davidson for possible mass production. Since several of the engineers who developed the bike retired from Harley, maybe they will pick it up. A diesel conversion Harley Davidson is about as much as anyone could hope for.

Harley Davidson Clubs and Harley Davidson events
April 16, 2008
Say Harley Davidson club and a lot of people think of the events where drinking and nudity prevail. While that may be true in some instances, it is not the prevailing wind in the Harley Davidson culture of today. Clubs organize prayer meetings, charitable events, and get together to ride the wind for the sheer enjoyment of riding. There are some very famous Harley clubs and events, but there are thousands of just for fun rides to be had, also.
Harley Davidson forums cover everything from part swaps to dating services. These forums are not put together to pass on stories, but to offer help to fellow bikers. They have gone a little commercial by selling ads. All of the ads are a help of some kind to a biker. They provide links to the NHTSA so you can complain about flimsy and defective helmets, or find where the next rally is in your state or anywhere in the nation. Some link you to hard to find parts. Where else could you find what you need for an old panhead or knucklehead motor? The forums differ greatly, so go online to find the one that best suits your needs.
Who hasn’t heard of a Harley Davidson poker run? These simple, fun events can be held for charity or profit. No one seems to care either way. What does it matter. The point is to ride from destination to destination, have a few laughs, maybe a beer. Sure you draw a card at each stop. Your lady will probably be keeping track of that though, so all you have to do is enjoy the breeze and the open road. Maybe you get the best hand, maybe not. Who cares anyway.
Over the years there have been some well known Harley Davidson clubs, the Black Panthers MC, and the Boozefighters, are two of the oldest clubs in the country. Both were formed in 1946 and still exist today. Sadly, most people think of the Hell’s Angels tearing up towns and killing people while dealing drugs and guns when they think of biker clubs. Today that is the exception to the norm. Most bikers are hard working citizens that pay taxes, obey the laws, and contribute to the welfare of society. However, who can blame them for the occasional party. Sure bikers like to get together to ride and enjoy the countryside. This is not only true in the United States, but all of the other countries where someone has started a Harley Davidson club.
It doesn’t matter who you are, there is a Harley Davidson club or event that will fit your personality. It may not be Sturgis, Daytona, or Wietzel’s, but you can find a group of people who share the love of the road and wind who are willing to band together for the ride.

Harley Davidson Parts
April 16, 2008
Once you have purchased your Harley Davidson, you are going to want to do some research on replacement parts and parts to customize your hog. The best way to find top quality, authorised Harley Davidson parts is to go on-line. Sure the dealer where you bought your bike will have a great supply, but he will not have as complete an array as you will find online. There are two very popular Harley Davidson accessories. One is the windshield and the other is parts to customize the exhaust system.
Harley Davidson windshields come in two types: the touring windshield and the fixed windshield.
The Harley Davidson touring windshield is preferred by many riders who go on extended road trips very rarely. Now, the touring windshield comes with the “Bar and Shield” on the horizontal brace. The windshield mounts to the fork tubes with die-cast lever-release clamps. That way there is no “leave behind” hardware to disrupt the look of your bike. The kit has a turn signal relocation kit included. Once you have done the initial installation and moving of the turn signals the windshield will come off in about two minutes.
The other type of windshield is the fixed. This is the best for the guy who rides overland frequently. These little numbers can fit into your customization scheme easily. There is the detachable fairing model. If adding a fairing is not you cup of tea then you could try the leather wrapped full screen. Some different models are smoked, chopped, deflector, or the ever popular tombstone profile. Nothing says “ ride free or die” like the tombstone.
Exhaust parts are another popular way to customize your hog. Look into the Rinehart crossbacks, add different baffles, or change the profile of your ride with a slip-on exhaust pipe. The slip-ons have a number of options to fit your taste. Try out the dual exhaust bologna cut or the slash backs. Everyone is wanting the new Screamin’ Eagle II’s. These race quality, but street legal, slip-ons have a deep embossed logo for looks and a high flow interior for increased performance.
No matter how you want to customize your Harley Davidson there is an available part out there. Whether you check out your dealer or go online, you will not run out of ideas. No matter if it is windshields or exhaust systems, there is a Harley Davidson accessory to fit your desire. Your wish list will grow with every new purchase.
