Today was first time I had ridden Ol' Maudie since her transfusion.  Trashed all the SYN-3, and and gave her 20W-50 in the Motor, RedLine Shockproof in the 6-speed, and HD Gear-Oil in the Primary.  I was amazed to find the Tranny to be.......uhm.........ah, hell, it just felt better.  Didn't quiet that noise in 4th, though.  Guess the damage was already done.  Bearing goin' down, likely.  However, I did notice more heat coming from the right side of the Motor.  I believe the SYN-3 did keep the Engine temperature cooler.  We ran long and hard today, but the weather temperature was below normal, for this time of year.  Ahh...........the sound of that Motor @ 5800 in 5th gear is.........let's see..........Euphoric!  Be a while before I get to Ride again.  I miss it, too.  Enjoyed it, Chip, Nancy, and the Big "O."  Later--HUBBARD

5800 in 5th gear on a 6 speed - - - - - - aint no flies on ole Maudie I'll bet, that's steppin along right smart there Hub    [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]  Keep us up on the how you feel about the trans fluid, I like the one size fits all of the Amsoil, but everything I've read agrees with your comments on how your tranny felt with the Redline.

Adios

Gotta agree. Red Line Heavy Shock Proof. Been running it for awhile now. It does quite down your gear noise.

Hubbard what kind of 20w50 engine oil did you put in her??

Glad you got a chance to air the ole girl out. Wish I could have made the trip. Actually we had planed the weekend up there for the race but I knew I couldn't take the drive. Actually wanted to try the new toy hauler out. Guess it will have to wait for Delmarva Bike Week.

Moderators [smiley=nervous.gif] That's a question for GRC!
What you say Jerry? How fast was Hub running in 5th @5800 with that 6speed tranny?

Nancy and I were on the stock 03 Silver-n-Black dresser and the GPS was reading 106 and Hub and Otis were
aahhhhhhhhh well,, "becoming rapidly vanishing black dots".
I kept it on a 100 for a while and after they slowed down we finally caught up to them.

kng103,
  I can't answer that one.  My speedometer has a peg the needle rests on at 120 MPH.  The needle won't go past that speed.  The tach keeps climbing, that's all I know.  When I moved my foot off the hi-way peg, to shift into 6th, it almost blew my leg off!!   Later--HUBBARD

Ask and you shall receive. It will require you doing the math, but here is the formula...

Six speed, HD or Baker?

  If I loved a bullchitter, I'd hug your neck!  And OTIS's, too!  Anybody with any Harley savy at all, would know them two Motorsickles ain't stock!  [smiley=duhk.gif] I think ya'll have told that lie so many times, ya'll believe it yourselves!  Stock my A$$!  You ain't supposed to knowingly post any bad information on this Site.  [smiley=deal.gif] Where's the Love?  Don't make me put your A$$ in "Time-Out!"  Now, tell it straight.   Later--HUBBARD

I did not believe that West Virginia had a road straight enough to go even 100 mph. Had to give it a shot myself to see how fast they were really going. Had ole Bessie up to 5200 in 5th gear and going well over 120, where the speedo quit. Still increasing speed when I had to slow down for I was comming to the end of the bridge. The only straight road to try this is the bridge form the island to the mainland "4.5 miles" where I live. I am really not sure if the feeling I had was that of exilleration or of fear. Any way you guys were rolling.

hogasm,
  There ain't many in WV, that's for sure!  We were in VA, when we committed that particular dastardly deed, on I-81 South, slammin' to Bristol.  Man, it felt good!  My speedo won't go past 120.  Has a stop, or peg sticking up there, and the needle can't go past it.  Some have said, "No, it doesn't."  Believe me.  Mine does.  I was just thinking about that Ride.  Prior to yesterday, when we have ridden at excessive speeds, for miles and miles, I would have thoughts of tires blowin', or Deer jumpin' out in front of me, or the Tranny lockin' up, [smiley=oops.gif] and how bad it was gonna' hurt, before it was Curtains, for Ol' Hub.   I never used to think about those things in my younger days.  Mind you, they were fleeting thoughts, not constant.  Wouldn't want you guys to think I'm crazy, or anything!  But yesterday, I had those thoughts not once!  Was only worried about the "Man", and what a cluster#### that would be at 140 MPH!  It was just one terrific day for Ridin', and one of the most enjoyable Rides I've ever had!  [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif] Must be doin' somethin' right!  Later--HUBBARD
