I have noticed that the steering in my '92 HDJ80 is different than it was in my 1995 gas. The '95 was a smoother, nicer steering than my '92 and it even had bigger tires. The pump in my '92 is leaking so I wanted to know if that is a characteristic of the older model (The two are different and not interchangeable). The reasoning is that if that is just what the pump feels like, then I would be willing to get a rebuild kit and reseal it rather than get a new pump which is costly enough to make me put it off for a little while.
