That is the visual I needed!  CRYSTAL clear now!

Hey, just thought of another more illustrative example to aid in the understanding of runout.  This should help .

Consider the following.  You're on Bourbon Street in New Orleans' French Quarter.  Standing at the entry to a bar is a buxom young lass sporting tassles on her nipples.  As you're engaging her in conversation on David Hume's treatise on religion and the existence of divinity she sways to the background music coming from the bar and her tassles rotates with her nipples as the center point of that rotation.

The tassle itself is exactly six inches long.  If she had perfectly firm breasts allowing no eccentric rotation of the nipple the outside diameter of the circle made by the swinging tassle would be exactly six inches.

If, on the other hand, she had some runout and the nipple wobbled a bit in the middle the outside diameter of the circle created by the swinging tassle would vary by whatever amount up and down and side to side the nipple (or center point of the crankshaft) wobbled.  The amount her nipple moved up and down would be the amount of her runout.

I love science....  

I think you have a promising new career as a technical writer for physics publications.  Of course your writings would have to be peer-reviewed.....

Some are coming right from the factory that way.  Its sad they got rid of the forged cranks and timkens just to save money. ... good for S&S though.   

The 96" motors have just as many problems its not unique to just the 110's.   

When did Harley stop using forged cranks ??

a better lesson from Sparky and The Hippo   I like Charlie's explanation how to avoid the crank from slipping..

cvobiker,

Do not mean to hijack this thread, I thought since you mentioned the video Charlie and Frank (HIPPO) had made. I want to pass on to with regret that HIPPO passed away approx. 2 weeks ago in Phoenix. On Saturday their was a Memorial Service for HIPPO at Charlies (Short Block Charlie) shop in Tempe, their was a great turmout. HIPPO will be greatly missed for his phenominal knowledge and humour. For more information visit the HTT website.

RIP HIPPO

I diffantely saw the humor in the video and also read into the Humor of Hippo on other forums and even his web site. And this thread was even getting humorous, so I thought the video would fit in... Ever had one of those days where you go from feeling really good to feeling like crud?. I just had one of those today.....it was sad to hear the bad news  of his passing......this way
