[Steel Toed Tank]

Yes Yasser, lots of ideas, just not enough time or money!!

Today I woke up early and got bored so I started tearing into the rat bike.

There's always been a little oily spot from weeping valve cover gasket but when she started hammering away it really started coming out, it's rock hard too like it's been baked on.

I found I had to remove the breather cover and the oil filter cover to wiggle it out, but I'm real happy I didn't snap off any exhaust bolts!

It really wasn't as hard as some members have made it seem, but it wasn't as easy as other members made it seem either!

I figure as long as I'm in this deep, I'm going to swap the dyna coils and wires from the skunk over to this bike, and give the TZ carbs a freshen up.

Threw the rat bike carbs into the TD as I don't have the tools with me to open up the carbs properly, and I wanted to make sure there wasn't anything wrong with the TD motor.

I also changed out the oil and filter in the TD as the cases were full of gassy oil.

Turns out this one is the smoothest running and riding bike I own!

It has a very different torque curve than my other 2 T's, comes on VERY hard at 6,000 and peters out HARD at 9,000, but in that 3,000 rpm range it pulls WAY harder than the other two.

So now I'm torn as to what to do, keep riding this or drop this motor in my rat bike?

Think for the next few weeks I'm going to ride this one and give it some time before I make a decision.

My opinion... Keep that one the way she is, original. Build the **** out of the rat bike. Make her a monster, have some fun.
