the only bastard size thread that I can think of for a Harley
would be 1/4-24 .
it was used for securing lifter blocks to the engine case
and on ( I think ) oil pump studs to the engine case.
also, maybe more apps to the engine .

1/4-24???????????? Sounds like they couldn't decide on a 1/4-20 or a 1/4-24 so they took the average between the two. I've never encountered a 1/4-24.

Woops-- make that 1/4-28

  It is a 9/32 - 32   dam close to .8 pitch --  I did the cardinal sin " assumed " metric after I put the calipers to it. I re-checked it this morning with the mic. and a 32 pitch gauge.     Thanks for the input guys !!!!!!!!  :cheers:javascript:void(0);

Rich, interesting that the Bantam has almost exactly what we imagined! Guess the idea wasn't original after all!

Fron Don this morning: 

Here is the final fit.. Valves adjusted and adjuster locked down using standard 7/16" wrench -- tight fit - But I know Dale should be able to get a good fit at final assembly. So I am off to build the Real parts !

Randy and I met at John K's today, and the spoiler is done and mounted. John and I will meet in the morning, to get the spill plates installed. John has done a great job on the aero mods, and Randy is an animal when it comes to fabbing and installing stuff!

Don, Randy, and John- Great Job!

Spill plates are installed. John now is going to make the pieces that go from the spill plates to the body.

Buddy, it's not that it's black. It's because it has sleeves.  :cheers: Wayno

C'mon guys! Everyone knows the sleeves get cut of at 70deg, the collar at 75deg-I'm not a total barbarian! :-D
