Very funny dave...blaze away about the fa115 i've got a hide like a rhino and even resemble one at parties sometimes.I loath harleys but spend most working days custom painting them.This week i'm stuck with a new fatboy.

ps sr wrote a very good post comparing the fa115 and it's distant cousin the 125,i can't remember what your comments were.

pps scooter good luck with reassembly.I freeze the bearing set over night,heat the case and insert the rear bearing last.This way you can use the crankshaft to guide in and seat the rear bearing square with a gentle tap,they almost fall in by themselves.I bought the best small screwdriver i could find for the rocker arm pins.
