Yep. Be warned though. The pump on my LTD didn't move a bit. Now that bike did sit for a lot of years before I got it. Since it did not move I took the chance. It leaked oil out of the weep hole. So I ended up replacing it anyway. Not a big deal and didn't add real time to it. I still don't have it "done". Just letting you know.

ok, then for my bike I will keep it like this now, since its only rotational movement, doesnt leak and I dont have any water in the oil (or oil in the water)...
Pity that now when the bike is running again its only about 5-6 degrees C here....

Long time, no post...
Anyway, I finally managed to install my german new pipes by BSM that I got for cheap many years ago. Problem was they were meant for a 78-79 wing so my headers didnt fit them. Got decent ones from a 79 off ebay and finally installed now. I think this saved a lot of weight!
