The ongoing saga of my motorcycle builds....
Handsome Rob replied to Handsome Rob's topic in General Chat
Ahhhhh....... the old "one-last-minor-adjustment-before-the-long-journey-what-could-possibly-go-wrong?" scenario. So, now I have to rebuild the transmission. More of an inconvenience than anything, but I made a further rod for my own back by making one of those 'while you're in there, why not?' decisions. I'm upgrading the shifter drum & pawl, plus the centering pin & selector forks to the much improved versions from a 2005 Twin Cam. The original 5 speed is bulletproof, but it is known for having a couple of issues: the pawl can go out of adjustment very easily making neutral a pain to find, you also get false neutrals, especially between 2nd & 3rd & 1st & 5th also have bad overshift. The Twinkie parts literally cure all of that & make shifting much, much slicker & more positive with less pedal travel & no chance of going out of adjustment. I picked up everything I need for just over $200 on ebay. Now I must need everything to get here & I can buckle it all back up again. -

Send me your address. I've got a brand new take off you can have, if you don't mind covering shipping. If you don't want to cover shipping, I've got an older one I'll send you, but I'm gonna poo under the buttplate before I send it -

Well damn. I just made an agreement on a little Heritage Roscoe. Thanks though! -

The Heritage Roscoe 2" would be another great candidate. -

I wish I had Smith money! I'll bear it in mind, but it's really a .38 I'd like. I've got enough loaded .38spl ammo to wear out several revolvers & maybe 20 .380s left for my LCP! -

I've never seen a 605 before! I like it enough that I'm going to edit the title! Thanks! -
Don't think me silly, but I have a craving for a little 5-shot .38 I had one years ago & moved it on, but now I really wish I hadn't. It was a lovely little thing & I'd really like to get my hands on another. I'm not really interested in one of the 856s or similar, just a tiny 5-banger.

Here's a long shot..... Anyone have a set of 6x45 (6mm/223) kicking around that they're not using?

14 or 15 total, I think. I'm going to cheat a bit & trailer the bike to a mate's place in Gunnison CO though. That should give me a full 10 days to tour around out there. I'm planning on averaging 300 miles a day & I've got a laundry list of sites I'd like to visit. -

Well for god's sake don't go to a dealer####! They'll rob you inside out, then bend you over to stuff it back in! You can see the kinda bikes I prefer. My opinion of the mobile recliners is.....unflattering. Non-complimentary, you could say. -

100 times so, yes. It'd literally be like riding your couch down the road. But.... there's always 'as well as' as opposed to 'instead of' -

wanted PSA Dagger Compact or Micro
Handsome Rob replied to Handsome Rob's topic in Firearms Classifieds
I would, but it'd have to be priced like a Dagger, unfortunately.
