Sportsterpedia Progress

[Hippysmack]

Thought maybe I'd do an update.
It's only been about 2 1/2 months but seems like a year since the last update.

I created a page in the Ironhead oil pump section for 77-85 Oil Pump Inspections.
(things to look for and check out when it's off the motor)
http://www.sportsterpedia.com/doku.p...talk:ih:oil03p

Made a chart on the Ironhead Cases and Crankcase page with crankcase part numbers and added casting numbers and part numbers for case halves.
No case half part numbers past 1975 in the parts books though.

Created a page for Ironhead Engine Case Numbers.
(belly numbers for 57-85 and tried to date some with service bulletins)
Everything I have found so far is on that page.

Added specs for 57-85 models in the History (Sportsters Specifications by Specific Year) section.
Click on a year to view more information.

Added XR-750 Parts Catalog numbers on the Parts Catalog Page.

Ken, we thank you and appreciate your effort. It’s what makes this forum the best.

I'm sure Hippysmack and I might look identical - That could be disturbing ... but don't confuse that labor-intensive beast of an editor with this hapless organizer of confusion... He's grinding out Sportsterpedia pages and tables like a mad miller...

Besides, although we are rumored to look alike, I'm sure Hippysmack is better looking than me and can probably carry a tune, as well...

Nope, I looked in the mirror the other day and to my shock and dismay....
I got old.
Maybe it's the mirror, yeh that's it.

Yeh
Same thing happened to me...

now I look like a goddamn Greek"

Thanks for all your labor, Hippy!

[Hippysmack]

Thanks guys.
It wouldn't be possible without all of us.

[sportsterpaul]

Well, it’s a group effort with a couple of tuff and strong leaders!

[Hippysmack]

Been a while so I thought I'd check in with an update.

I've been tinkering with engine case ID pages for;

Ironheads:
http://www.sportsterpedia.com/doku.p...:ih:engmech01c
Rigid Evos:
http://www.sportsterpedia.com/doku.p...evo:engmech01c

There should be enough information there already that one could ID an engine case.
As always, more will be added in time.

Updated the FSM page
http://www.sportsterpedia.com/doku.p...cres:miscres10

Updated 1991-2003 individual year pages in the history section.
http://www.sportsterpedia.com/doku.p...ory:99xx-01#s4
Still got some to do there also.

Great work! The Sportster must already be the best documented motorcycle series on the Internet.
