I’ve heard of Panheads and Knuckleheads but Noheads?
The owners of the dealership have denied it.
I checked and kind of gulped a little.
It looks like there is one for my parts problematic 1981 750K. It runs fine on the points in it but I don’t like or trust points in anything.
I converted my Willys Jeep over and it made a huge difference.
It looks like I will be swapping a valve cover gasket over the weekend. The kit arrived and some minor electrical.
I changed the oil on it a couple of weeks ago. It been in storage for years before I bought it. Runs OK. Carbs are a little out of whack. You can hear for yourself:

That filter housing hadn’t been off in years. When that bolt finally broke loose, it sounded like a small pistol but intact.
I rolled camera during oil change and here is what came out of it. Seemed consistent enough, no telling how old. Fresh Honda oil did it a world of good.
The BSA was a great handling bike IMO. I used to think, and still do, if they could just make the damn things reliable, Sigh.
LOL.
And get a helmet over a towel....
Little by little the muzzies are taking over our country. God help us.
The racist murder of over 70 whites in California in the early 1970s known as the Zebra Killings was done by members of the Nation of Islam. Compare that to a TOTAL of 41 murder victims of the Klan and its supporters in the Civil Rights Era from 1954 -1968 as documented at the National Civil Rights Memorial:

Yet this moral equivalent of supporting a Klan rally will go unnoticed by the Corrupt Liberal Media.
Always serviced per manual specs, oil volume carefully measured before installation, not overfilled, leaked out of the head gasket and cylinder bases anyway.
Yup, that they do.
You planning on dealing with the carbs yourself? Do you have the needed balance bar?
I know a guy who is a guru of vintage of that era and had a few. From time to time, him and a few friends have maintenance and repair sessions. I hope to get to the next one.
Easy enough to find out when since he has the office across from mine. Learned tons from talking to him. Be my luck that I will draw on call time and get a call in.
Learned up a little on synching and I would welcome adult supervision.
Never rebuilt any, just replaced them in jeep land.
It was falling apart? What did you do, start the engine?
I always figured if I ever got another one I’d tear it down to bolts and nuts and reassemble it using Loc-Tite :)
Parts of Ft. Washington, Md. are killing and body dumping grounds for black criminals.
In the old days, a white guy could drive down Oxon Hill Road to Piscataway Creek to fish or look for fossils and nobody cared. People were nice back then.
Today, I wouldn’t go down there without a machine gun.
I suspect some pressure was put on this Harley dealership owner to support Farrakhan, “or else”.
Most Harley don’t know how to change their oil never mind overfilling the oil. My 1998 Electra Glide Classic just passed 292k miles still with the original engine do all my own oil changes filter changes transmission oil changes purr’s along like a champ just came back from Florida to NY and back to Florida ride to visit some friends.
I bought a Harley new in 1986, put over 300,000 thousand miles on it and gave it to a friend. He’s still riding it.
I also have a 68. a 61, and a 60 harley, all three kick start and worth well over $10,000 apiece. Starting them may take a little effort but then I’m only 71 years old.
They are a real mans bike.
I did own a BSA MX500 single for a time. The forks leaked a bit. Typical Brit bike. Still no trailer, but off-road only bike. Had to push it about 1/2 mile to get to the end of a canyon. Loved that bike, but had no means to cart it around or store it. It went away when I got married in 1978. I had no bikes again until August 2008.
Surprise, surprise...
Yes, I made the mistake of trying to actually use a Harley as a real motorcycle. :P
