Have just spent some time looking trough a bunch of photos on the harddisk when this old photo showing my Hendersons as "before" surfaced. The pic is actually taken the same day as I arrived home with the bike having begged for 17 years to get it, yeah its true. 17 years. My Henderson was stored outside for 25 years under a stairway not far from the sea, oh well that is now all forgotten.
I`ve always heard that there was built special 8 valve Harley`s in Sweden way back where they used Rudge 4 valve heads with home turned cylinders.
Hmmm, 8 valve Harley just the tought is a thrill.
Was fortunate at Ekeberg swap meet getting a Rudge 4 valve head to play with.
Didn`t get home until today, have a guess what was my first "to do".
Its just amazing, the Rudge and the Harley IOE from late 24 (JDCA/JDCB) up to 29 J & JD share the exact same dimensions between cylinder / head bolts centers, oh yeah even the same dimensions of bolts.
A plan is getting borned, watch out :-).

Got this parcel a while back, NOS inlet rockers for my Super X. I will never get to understand e-bay, noone bidding else than me!!!!!!
Where all other Super X owners on holliday?
I owe Jørgen for tipping me of on those :-)
OK, having finally got my Henderson on the road last year I soon realised I had a problem with heat building up in the gearbox area.
God grief!!!
Until last week nothing happened, but hey spring is here, better get started.
Got motor pulled out and into the workshop. After splitting the cases I realised the scenario was worse than expected. One of the bushings for the gearbox output shaft had got severely fu¤#"¤¤ed.
Now all parts are remade and I am getting everything back together.
Cases are splitted.
Removed gearbox internals.
gearbox output shaft with bewel gear and the fu%"¤¤%ed bushing next to the new one.
Will try to post some more pics when reassembling.

When the weather is really bad outside with snow and darkness, it feels god beeing in the workshop dreaming about spring to come.
