Im buying my first PROJECT"Bike in boxes"so to speak.How do I find out what goes with what and HOW TO???

Question

Shovel frame, WideGlide forks, 95 ci TwinCam (needs bored and cases) everything else is included, 5 gal split and stretched fuel tank, horseshoe oil tank, wagon wheels, 5 speed tranny still in a box with the title. So if anyone could help me start in the right direction...this old woman would be greatly appreciative!!! ~Laura

Answer 1

Shop manual.

Answer 2

I hope you are dating both a machinist and a welder. Right off the bat, if you have a shovel frame and a true Twin Cam (A or B) your frame and motor don't match. And I have a sneeking suspicion your trans won't fit either. Twin Cam trannys bolt to the motor so don't come with MOS's (title) anymore.

Answer 3

go here http://www.jockeyjournal.com/ and introduce yourself after you get a shop manual as stated allready

Answer 4

I would highly recommend paying someone to put it together for you. There are many things that can go wrong if they bike isn't assembled right. The last thing you want to do while riding it is have a wheel fall off or have the engine lock up. Or try to find someone in your area help assemble the bike and show you how to do it.

Also, are you sure it's a twin cam motor and not an Evo?

Answer 5

A haynes manual is a must for EVERY vehicle you own if you work on them and arent alread familiar with them. I buy one every time i buy a different vehicle. Didnt need em so much on the old ones but theses days it helps just so you can find what you want to work on.
