So, upon returning from our trek to born free 4, I noticed some noise coming from the primary on the ironhead. I was reluctant to investigate the cause of this on account of me being a lazy fucker, and pulling the primary being a pain in the ass. Long story short, I pulled the primary, clutch hub, etc., and found my kicker components to be the culprit. No problem. Install a new kit and call it good, right? Wrong, nigga. After a complete kit was slapped on, the kick pedal pushed straight through...the kicker gear and ratchet plate weren't making contact..everything is brand new, how could this be? After a lot of cussing, head scratching, and friend asking, I decided to measure the teeth on the old ratchet plate and discovered that they are about 1/16" taller than those on the brand new plate. (fuck you drag specialties.) Anyhoo...put the old plate back on and the fucker works fine. No more noise either. This fiasco took about a month and FINALLY, I was able to ride again. Here are a few pics from here and there, some shit to lighten the mood. Enjoy.
