Classic Harley Christmas Maintenance & Brief Ride

I have been ignoring my 1924 Harley-Davidson V-twin motorcycle for a couple of months and wanted to spend some time going over it in the garage now that we have more than 6 inches of snow on the ground.

I wanted to get it up on my bike stand to look it over a bit and to see if I can mount up the side stand I had recently bought on ebay. These was not real vintage Harley parts but exact copies of real ones. When I bought this old Harley almost 20 years ago it came with a side stand, although I don’t believe Harley offered one until a few years after 1924. The stand was bent in such a way that I was never confident that it would hold up the old Harley if it started to roll back or tip over. So I took off the old one and put it away. I happen to like side stands on my motorcycles as long as I also have a rear or center stand too.

I popped the old Harley up on the motorcycle lift and raised it up so I can study it and not have to bend over to do the work. For comparison I pulled out the old side stand that was on the bike when I bought it. They were similar but with different bend and length of the arm.

Vintage Harley parts - old side stand and hardware on BOTTOM, Reproduction on TOP. Similar but different!

I know the new reproduction mounting bracket will fit right on because the old one had been there until about a year ago when I removed it from the arm welded to the frame that the front of the floorboard mount to as shown in the photo below.

Pulling away the front of the floorboard on my classic Harley

I loosened the two nuts that hold the left side floorboard in place and removed the front one. This allowed me to slide the front of the floorboard off the stud on the front giving me access to slide on the side stand mounting hardware.

Installing the new mounting hardware for the side stand

I slid the new mounting hardware into place and then pulled down the side stand to see where it falls and if it lines up properly with the cut-out notch in the old plate already mounted under the floorboards. I don’t know what exact year the old plate is but I am pretty sure it is a genuine vintage Harley part. I then moved slid the hardware in-board and out until I found the best location. Then I rotated it around checking the angles before determining the ideal location. Then I tightened down the 2 set screws, torqued down the nut holding the side stand in place and reattached the floorboard tightening down the two mounting nuts.

I took the bike off the lift and rolled it outside to the driveway to see how the bike looked and leaned on the new side stand. It leans the bike at an angle I am much more confidence in than the old one with the shorter and different angled side stand.

Side stand installed and the Old Harley looking good!

After I finished installing the side stand I started the bike and let it idle a little outside in the near freezing temperatures. I was impressed that I got it running in less than a dozen kicks. And it warmed up easily and settled down into a nice easy idle in little time.

There is plenty of snow on the ground but the roads have been cleared for days. So I took her out for a brief Christmas Day ride around the neighborhood.

And the right side.

After the ride I put the Harley back up on the lift to have another look around and that’s when I spotted what looked like the first traces of battery acid build up on a corner of the battery box. More details to follow on this when I get time.

Harley's amazing downhill ride

NEW YORK (Fortune) -- Today is an anniversary for motorcycle manufacturer Harley-Davidson that it would just as soon not remember.

On February 3rd a year ago, with the stock market hurtling toward its March lows, Harley (HOG, Fortune 500) announced it had sold $600 million in five-year notes at a nosebleed interest rate of 15%. Yes, 15%, because the company needed the money to fund its finance company and had to pay what the market demanded.

The market, in this case, included Warren Buffett, whose Berkshire-Hathaway (BRK.B) had been husbanding cash for years, and who was pleased to give $300 million of that money to Harley at 15%. The other $300 million was put up by Davis Advisors, a mutual fund company whose Chris Davis saw Harley notes as a fine investment for his funds (which, by the way, also own Harley stock).

The annual $90 million of interest those notes carry certainly didn't help out Harley's 2009 results, though a recession that was killing sales of discretionary goods would have led to a financial wreck in any case. For the year, Harley reported shipments that were down 27% from 2008 and ended up with a $55 million loss -- its first red ink since 1993.

Still, 2009 had its redeeming features for Harley, and these certainly began with its stock price. For the year, as investors anticipated the company regaining its zoom, its stock rose by 53%.

Meanwhile, the great 2009 bull-market in junk-bond prices was producing an astounding turn in interest rates. In December, Harley sold still another block of 5-year notes -- $500 million -- at a 5¾% rate.

For swings in what it costs to do business, and for a reminder of just how remarkable the securities markets were in 2009, a 15% rate down to 5¾% is an amazing ride.
