This is just a report on a problem that I have resolved. I don't remember if I ever posted thye problem previously or not.

I've had a pull to the left ever since I built my bike about 4 years ago. I've tried multiple realignments, replaced wheel bearings, tightened fork stem, loosened fork stem, and removed inner primary, loosened engine and trany then reshimmed, aligned and reassembled. finally sarted carrying a heavy weight in the right saddle bag, which helprd some. Finally, this winter I repaced the fork stem races and bearings. It runs straight and true, like it should now. I can only think that I must have damaged the races or bearings on my original build.

If I were to give the needle a notch more room or go to a larger jet, wouldn't that be the same as adding more fuel through the enricher circuit? AND yes for those that recall this is what brought me to BT in the first place LOL. Full circle now huh LOL.

Hi folks,
Well, this is my virgin (1st) post, so I hope it goes well. I'm looking for a parts catalog/manual for my 2000 Road King. I have the service manual, but looking for the parts manual. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance!
