    1 quart equals 0.9463529 ltrs. 2 pints or 32 fl oz, or the easiest one 192 tea spoons. :D

    32 fl oz would be 2 American pints (16fl oz, vs. UK 20 fl oz)

    Don't know much about Harleys other than they are heavy!...lol On the new ones (only worked on a couple) you pull the oil pipe of the res tank...that simple...lol

    Would like an old Iron head harley, Canadian war time type bike.. :D

    Nice . Ours is a 69 Iron head . Custom hard tail etc .. Really want springer forks for it but you gotta changed the front wheel and brakes as well so not going to be cheap
