It’s a buddies bike. It sounds like compression being released or a steam engine when running. Then it will just stop for a while, then start up again. Nobody seems to know the problem. No loss of power, just a weird sound.

I believe the v rod is water cooled, but wondering when they are going to advance this to their other bikes. Love my Harley, but could do without the extreme heat!

My Dad was side swiped in ‘93 by a man driving a Dodge truck & lost part of his left leg. He restored the bike & has been lookin’ into the electric shifters for the last few years. I need some more literature about them & I need to find out if anyone makes one that is compatible to his Harley, like I said it’s a ‘76 Sportster.
Thanks!
