Well, we have it all working now. A few little things to do but overall the little guy looks and runs good.

Re: 1974 Harley Davidson DE
Looks good! I restored my 74 DE last year and now I am having an issue of the time delay shorting out. I’ve gone through 2 of them now. $50 a pop gets kinda pricey. I’ve triple checked all my wiring and voltages but can’t figure it out. The original tube was busted when I got it and while restoring I went with the solid state delay replacement. I’m afraid all the money I spent to get it looking cherry has gone to waste. Thinking about saying screw it and start saving up to do a full solid state conversion. It’s more efficient but I love the look of originality.

Re: 1974 Harley Davidson DE
Looks very good. I get the part about the solid state conversion. I guess the idea of originality left when we painted them. Still , listening to the solenoids clicking in makes for a lot of conversation.

Re: 1974 Harley Davidson DE
Thanks Mooncarter
My brother in-law and I have done most of the work on it. We have it at a campground and last week we were there on vacation. Received a lot nice compliments from the folks there. We figured that a week there would shake out any issues it had and it did. There was a noise coming from the brakes, we thought, and couldn't get adjusted right. Turned out I had not tightened the lug nuts on one of the rear wheels. After tightening them, it ran well. It takes a while to get used to the solenoids controlling the speed and having the steering wheel offset . But we really like it , and so do the grandsons. |

Re: 1974 Harley Davidson DE
Don't you have the disc brake near the motor like tadub's above?
My 76 (four wheel) does. |
