1974 Harley-Davidson Shovelhead FLH Electra-Glide riding to Alice’s Restaurant in Santa Cruz Mtns

Took the old girl out for a cruise through one of the most magical places to ride in California. Might need to diagnose some leaks tomorrow, but today we rolled 70-75 easy with the revised 48T sprocket and oversized 4.50-18” tires. May have even hit 85-90 in a few spots ... ;)

Update: 7/13/2020, based on the amount of oil in the primary case (perhaps 1-2 tablespoons worth), it looks like I'll have to disassemble everything again to replace the engine output seal (perhaps reverse it since I've gone to belt drive). That might make a fun video, and removing the inner primary will give me a chance to inspect and or replace the transmission output shaft seal. The tricky part is trying to line up all the specialty tools I'll need to make sure I can get in and out of the job without the bike being down for an extended period of time. It's riding season!
