Mission Statement

This site is to help builders get their collection of parts on the road. We support replica parts good and bad. If there's a bad repop part out there, we want to either fix it or warn you to stay away from it.

This Builder's Forum is for 61 & 74 cu. in. Knuckle & Panhead motorcycles. 1937-1964 OHV only. We like OEM parts, but our focus is on the readily available aftermarket parts. Stett http://stettsironhorseranch.com is a factory trained Harley-Davidson® Master Technician with 45 yrs. of experience and has owned his own shop, ~ Stett's Iron Horse Ranch ~ in El Cajon, California since 1995.

In respect for the years of training Stett has invested, to learn how to keep our motorcycles running, we prefer to keep this site in a technical-classroom setting, to better serve the "pilgrim" builder. In that setting, arguing is detrimental to the builder, rants will be deleted at our discretion. Builders come first. This is a serious forum for early overhead valve Harley-Davidson® V-Twin® motors and motorcycles.

Note: For any H-D® motorcycle mechanical problems not covered on this forum, you can send Stett a message: stetts@sbcglobal.net
  We are in no way associated with the Harley-Davidson Motor Co. Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Any reference to H-D® is from tribute.
