I'm sorry, did you want me to kiss your ass?
Not in this lifetime.

cmon on fellars be nice.....lol, both have valid points, this is my first harley and have lots to learn grasshopper......
for now im going to use the inspection cover to spray chain lube on and see how it goes from there. i turnd the shoe bracket upside down and its worked ok, little noiesy but till i get a new chain it will do. went for a 80mile ride today will check what it looks like tomorrow.....

fxsb is a chain drive primary
(ducks in anticipation of the upcoming barrage)

Hey Seaeagle, just to throw in my .02c,   My bike runs an isolated primary. I have not had any issues with it so far.

Idealy i would run a 3" belt / open primary set up with an even shorter jockey shift, gotta get the fingers nice and close.

 

wow , opened a can of worms there.....
thanks for all the input from all....my head is still spinning.
i tightened the primary chain temporaryaly coz ive got more problems with the bike.... battery! rode home on monday night in the dark... no inducators, horn or starter... glad i fixed the kicker on... got the battery on charge now , lets see what happens....
the old saying wrench and ride is all making sense now....

dave that is farkin awsome.... i want to go out to the shed now....lol
looks like the battery wont charge over 11.8 so im off to where i got it from 2morro.( i did notice it was going flat, so put the kicker on and kept riding....serves my lazy ass right if it cost me more money!!!....lol)

Gotta love the old kicker Chris, I once had a battery blow up on me whilst riding. The regulator went south and was overcharging to buggery. lost a pair of jeans and a whole lot of paint and chrome had to be redone. A mate was working as Service manager for Fraser's at the time and he had a spare that had been thrown out as it wasn't charging up to specs, but was good enough for a kicker only set up. Score!!! Run a sealed one on the Heritage as it's lecky only. Dave's post on electrics is great. Never worried about it but I've gone and checked everything just in case. All OK.

l see an oily inner primary, with a good oily coating in the right places, l can see the chain oiler with a drip of oil coming out, (good).. l see a chain that looks
to long or badly stretched for this bike, id count the links to see it has 82, & if it has ,rotate checking for tight spots out of curiosity
, as it looks like it needs to be replaced either way.... ...Mine went dry & heated up (adjuster pad)meltied it self to the chain and cogs,,
what a hassle l was about 60 miles from home , rode all the way sloooowwwwly,,,, what a mess....
