I bought these quickshifters from RevMo and they’re dog ****. Who makes a legit QS that’s made of non-home lab produced 3D printed nylon?

The bike is a 2009 1125CR. I've not torn into it yet, but I will eventually. The bike has been running the Harley "fix" harness since I've owned it, I figured I'd deal with it one day, but have not...
It finally happened - a balmy 50*F morning ride and the battery indicator lights up and the voltage shows about 12.0V and dropping. Fortunately, was able to turn around and return to my garage to...
Finally received the Motion Pro 08-0669 tool from Direct Cycle Parts out of Texas. No joke, both races went right in without freezing in about 20 minutes combined. Glad I went with the tool because...
In replacing my steering head bearings, I'm not having any luck with my threaded rod, make-shift tool that I've used previously. I've been using the tapered roller bearing setup with the race, not...
I figured it's a might as well. The rear wheel has new bearings, new sprocket and new belt, the front needs a new rotor (thickness is at minimum spec) and the steering head bearings are being...
The dealership parts department (Tucson HD) was extremely helpful and must like Buells or something. They pricematched the eBay price of $300 and will have a new wheel for me in a few days.
...
Villain black, I believe. The local dealer can get them, but the prices aren’t great… seeing if they can do any better, but beggars can’t be choosers either, so I’ll probably walk out of here having...
Looks like there's some new wheels floating around the dealer system still, planning to stop by the dealer and inquire about pricing. I see new ones on eBay for around $300, so a used one at $250...
I did contact the city via their online reporting system and they claim to have repaired the road, but I’ve not been back out that way to check!
I think I can confirm that the wheel is toast. If not immediately discernible by the massive lip damage...

then a closer look reveals:

It's definitely bad, you know!
I'm surprised it wasn't worse. I'll post some pics of the wheel when I get a chance, it's bad. I mean, you know it's bad when the tire deflates instantly! The tire was/is a Michelin Pilot Road...
I'll see if the wheel can be repaired... thanks for the links.
Well, I took my beloved XB12Ss out for a ride after replacing the rear wheel bearings, rear sprocket and installing a new belt. Rounding a corner I came across a large pothole, avoided it, but ended...
I managed to get it on there using the method that Barrett described. I loosened the axle exactly 21 turns out and then pushed the tensioner up against the belt while rotating the mounting bracket...
I’ve only got the rear axle turned out 15 revolutions, so maybe that is part of the issue. The belt is extremely tight, though.
I still don't have everything fully assembled, but it's only because the belt is super tight and I'm struggling with installing the tensioner. I watched a couple of Youtube videos this morning and...
I watched that video from Yamaha and I have to admit, I want one of those R3s.

Speaking of baro sensors, I have a GM 3-bar MAP sensor integrated into my DDFI-3 system and when I climb past 6000' elevation the ECM starts throwing codes for baro sensor out of range, etc. I've...
Glad you got it running well and can enjoy it now.
Y'all ought to let me know if you convene for some kind of riding activity - I'd definitely make a trip to the area and join!
All good points. I did order this directly from Tucson Harley-Davidson, in person, walked into the store and went to the parts counter. They had to order it from their Vintage Parts division,...
LOL yeah, something like that!
I brought the sprocket into our lab today and showed it to a friend of mine who's also a rider and a composite specialist. He agreed that it's looking pretty rough...
That’s an excellent idea, cvc!
