and I'll make it about music. The new Lamb of God is good, so pick it up and listen to the track called Grace.
As of right now though, and for the past couple of months I have been gravitating towards more Southern stoner metal. Don't get me wrong, I've been listening to it for years, but I started digging a lot deepera few months back. If you want to hear something that can be listened to while you fish, fuck, fight, drink, or smoke dope then pop in some Sixty Watt Shaman or Halfway to Gone.
Click the little box down on the right and you can hear All Things Come To Pass by Sixty Watt Shaman.
I had to press in a new main drive gear obviously, but since I don't have an arbor press here I took it to Frazier's Harley Davidson down the street from my house. I've got a few friends there, so they hook me up. After that, it was time to slide in the gearset...it will most likely need a little persuasion from a rubber mallet to slide over the dowels.
Top 4 bolts...9 ft/lbs.
Time to start putting in the forks.
I took the gearset back out to see if anything could be done about the fork...the shaft could be unscrewed from the trap door...that has to be the answer. If you look at the picture of the gearset bolted in, you can see that the trap door on the Frankentranny is a shitload wider than the standard Softail trap door (it needs to adapt a 4 speed clutch cover to a Softail case). Since that's the case, the shift rod over the countershaft isn't inserted from the front like a Softail...hence the problem with the 4th gear shift fork.
The kicker gear...
It needs to be installed on the shaft with the dowel in line with the keyway on the outside of the shaft.
Pop on the washer with tabs and the bolt...it needs to be torqued to 30 ft/lbs and then the tabs needs to bent up. Don't forget to toss a little blue Loctite on there.
The return spring stay has to be threaded into the outside of the cover. Pretty basic, a little blue Loctite and 110 in/lbs will do the trick
Pull that sumbitch out.
That'll make it possible to take the pawl out completely.
If anyone is actually reading this, sorry that I didn't give more specific information, but between the other posts I've already made and this one, I'm kind of beat with it. I'll get more in-depth when I do the rebuild with all of the Baker goods.
