Thanks much. Yes some one has not been nice to this bike. It does run pretty good just sitting there �� I’m going to try and find a new shifter shaft in better shape. Check clutch plates,prob just replace them. Put back together and reevaluate the noises in the primary. Noise only shows up when you get it in gear and release the clutch. In neutral no noise. Maybe clutch plates are sticking if it has sat a while. Might be some of the issues putting it into gear. The shifter shaft was also scrap, the splines were stripped and linkage was slipping on the shaft, prob rotating 1/8 inch before moving the shaft.
Sorry for jumping around in the thread. It all got a little confusing for a bit, but after a good sleep ready to tackle again.
Where do you folks find most of your parts?
StPaul Harley Davidson seems to have some. Have not found a shifter shaft yet , or the c-clip for clutch.
Here is a photo of shifter shaft. Don’t think I can save it ��FDE851D7-72AC-413E-A5D9-4BE253596427.jpg
Actually when I shifted it to neutral with primary cover off and holding shifter shaft by hand. It took very little force to slip it back to neutral, so that’s why I think noise may be in the clutch plates ?
