Step 1: Set all bolts to 1/4 torque settings. Set engine mounting bolts to 1/8 torque. They will fall out periodically. This is normal. You will experience a lot of vibration.
Step 2: Loosen the oil drain bolt and over rev your engine to blow the head gasket. Oil may spray/leak everywhere. Ignore this and fill it up again every 5 miles.
Step 3: Take off the muffler. Loosen the headers, and change your carbeuratuer settings. The bike will sound like it is taking a gigantic fart. This is part of the process.
Step 4: Cosmetics...polish your frame and swingarm. Put flames on your farings. Add a skinnier front tire and a rear tire at least 3x wider. Place fringe (leather, not the cheap plastic stuff) in place of bar ends. Optionally add leather saddlebags. This works well as a foot rest for whoever is riding bitch.
Step 5: For that authentic harley look, add a harley badge, and break some parts off and duct tape them back on. It is ok if they are hanging by a few threads of metal.
Step 6: Tune that engine! Tighten the intake valves. This lets more fuel in. Loosen the exhaust valves. This produces a loud clacking noise, and gives the authentic harley pop by not letting all the exhaust out. Open up that gearbox and remove the gear synchros. Your transmission will clunk wildly, and may miss every other shift. Don't worry...you wanted a harley right?
Step 6B: An alternative to the gearbox mod is to simply stay in first gear. It also makes your engine louder.
Step 7: What harley would be complete without a rider? Arai? What are you thinking? Trade it in for a chrome nazi helmet. Dainese? Who do you think you are? Throw those out and get some chaps and a leather vest. Colors are not an option. ****? No way. Throw on your work boots and gloves. Be sure to drink lots of beer, and don't shave. ever. This may be accompanied by loud belching and farting, and occasionally flies.
How to ride your newly created machine:
1. Ride with the choke on always. This gives it enough gas to stay alive. Never let the tach dip below 3 grand RPM...this decreases the amount of oil spraying from the head gasket, and the engine will not be as loud.
2. Do NOT lean the bike. If you must lean it to turn, you are going too fast. Try bending your forks forward to add more rake/trail.
3. Never go into a tuck. Use your frame sliders as pegs...you don't need to shift, and the rearsets are too far back.
4. Rev at cars as you pass them...this will also douse them with oil!
5. NEVER EVER wave to other bikers. They are all jackasses with import bikes that they think are fast. You ride a harley now!
