No info about mechanical magnetic ignition 😊

Thank you so much for the info. Appreciate you sharing all the good stuff 🤙🏼

Great vid !!

Nice video. I subscribed and will be watching more of your videos!

purple is nice 💋 😸 👍

Don't forget the hub lock washer under the hub nut.

Why is the hub bearing retainer on the 5 finger hub backwards.

I appreciate all your help 👍

Great video, perhaps you could give some tips on how to identify short circuits or bad grounding?

This video is gold. Simplifying the wiring on a Shovel I just got and this is exactly what I was looking for.

Nice video. Thanks for the explanation. I'm wiring a 66 kick start only iron head this weekend

I have an 86 sportster 883 to 1200 with super E carb. Runs like a spotted ass ape. But something went WRONG. Maybe this is it. Keep it up my brother in arms🎉

Hey. Not to be a shit. Maybe try it without the music. Kinda hard to Hear you. Im an OLD man without hearing ads😂

Hi man I’m from tahoe too. I have a 1200 sportster i would like to hardtail at some point and it would be nice to have some help.

Dude, best simplified wiring video I've found yet and I've been searching for weeks! Question: I have a 03XL1200, regarding the charging system, did you add the 30 AMP breaker, or does the bike already have that?

I had two Dynatek ignitons and two Ultima ignitions die on me. The Ultima ignitions got wet and just die. Once when I washed my bike and another time when I rode through a deep puddle (road flooded). I'm over electronic ignitions. I'm running points and it has been totally fine. I could have saved myself $1000 running points in my bikes over the years.

The only thing is I wish you would have done is said what you recommended what gauge wire for each one would be recommended, so I don't heat some wire and burn it down 😊🔥

Viewed more of your content. Got to say: Thanks for the opportunity to be part of your helpful, passionate, knowledgeable, biker to the core channel… your the man Cody! Huge fan!

New to the internet and smartphones. Been riding Rigids 30 years. Biker/Builder/Fabricator 4th generation. Only been online 2 months. Watching couple hours a day of videos. Your video had a commenter (Davidson2004fatboy) first negative comment I have seen? that aside. This is what biking is about helping each other out (brotherhood) awesome community! I’ll support anyone passionate for the brand or choppers. You seem genuinely in love with Harley’s and the culture. I dig that. Don’t let any hater get in your way! Stay passionate, humble and loyal to Choppers and those around you. -thanks

Great video

HEAT...is the downfall of sealed unit electronic ignitions. The ignition is Baking in the cone behind the ignition/points cover. All the diodes etc. were never meant to operate or survive in that super heated environment...brought to you by Blue Streak points & condensers.

JB Weld makes the best shims. Set it and forget it. 😂 Awesome video. Looking forward to more.

Thanks for helping me fix my choppa today 😘

I just bought a kz1000 custom hardtail frame with a lot of the main parts like engen and Wheels and Stuff, but no wiring im decent good with wiring race cars sbc but this is a 4 cylinder vike so thanks for the video

Good knowledge Cody. Are you from Socal?

My bestest buddy had a swingarm sportster chopper back in the 70s.. he let me ride it all over the place. Now.. I want to relive the past and build one

10/10 my only question. What about a 6v sistem?

For anybody with a big twin Evo. Here’s my experience. my Dynatek ignition had some burnt wires from the exhaust. I watched this video and switched to a point system off my buddies shovel head build. I chose points because I thought if I was ever riding, I could always get spare parts from a friend from a garage and I like the old school simplicity of it. But my bike started running shitty I was always working on the carb, adjusting the push rods trying to figure things out and it was always the points. The gap, the timing, the plate shifting, the springs on the advance weights, it getting wet parts, coming lose. I got tired of it after six months. Too many variables to go wrong. I just ordered a ultima full ignition system for 200 bucks on Amazon with wires, coil, plug wires and it came in two days. I installed it in one hour. I started my bike and it runs perfectly. What I thought was a carburetor issue was instantly solved . It hasn’t run this good months. Keep in mind this is for 100 cubic inch big twin Evo with the Mikuni HSR carb. Points may be better on some bikes but for me and my direct experience this ultima system is simple. Worst case scenario it’s two days out on Amazon and a lot of shops have some old dynatek units kicking around for 100 bucks. Now I keep my old point system with an extra coil in my bag, just in case my electronic ignition shorts out or burns a wire . Just a little insight from my own recent journey . Oh yeah, in the shop charged me $900 to install the points system parts included . Later, I found out you can order a whole system for 50 bucks on Amazon and an of hour labor. So basically I paid $950 an hour for that job. Olive Street Customs Ventura. 👏

I have a2003 H D 100th year an.wich one do i need my electronic ignit.module is bad i think want togo around that it about 400 hundred dollars i dont have i dont know what to get can u help go cheap.

Appreciate your wise words. I will be starting on a jap bike and will learn how to build a chopper out of it. Choppertown: the sinners got me hooked, than this movie the bikeriders comes out and i have no choice but to spend all my waking hours on two wheels. 😂 seriously i appreciate your channel.

Every time i go to try and sort out wiring. I have a issue, original wireing and bullet connectors are a larger guage than wires etc that come with new hand controls . Shud id change small connectors to fit original loom .will i blow fuses or melt wires . ????? . Cheers , thanks.

Great video, full of sound info. Just fitting same setup on my 75 shovelhead. Excellent work, keep em coming. Cheers

You guys need to do more like this. So frikkin sick.

Yoo my dude he'll yea🤘

First video watched, halfway through. Subscribed!!! Nuff sed

Thank u, thank u, thank u!!! Man!!!! I appreciate you.

Guess how you figured this stuff out if you're my age. Pre- internet. You Used to have to earn your stripes, Like a mountain man surviving the winter or a cowboy on the trail.

The clamp system from AMF is far superior to the "floating flange" system on my 93 Sportster. Harley-Davidson demonstrated how to fix something until it is broke. I've tried to stop this intake leak for over 10 years now, IT'S A F***ED UP DESIGN!! 3 new manifolds, countless gaskets, new engine, NO AVAIL! Makes me ashamed to own one. and I'm on piece of junk Harley #3

Great instruction helped me out a lot on my 73 shovel .

What size wire do you use G? Also what if you have an electric start

Appreciate the info.

This is a VERY, VERY good tutorial. One question - with a kick start, is the battery really required ?? What is the advantage of having the battery for kick start ??

Appreciate this. Building my 63 and needed assistance.

The best way I found to check for intake leaks was to remove the carb, which if you are considering re-jetting to solve a problem, you will likely need to do anyway and there is no need to go to re-jetting if you have intake leaks. After removing the carb, I made a piece out of PVC plumbing pipe and a brass air fitting, so I could introduce a few pounds of air into the manifold with a compressor. Electrical tape worked well to make up for a difference in diameter. An automotive hose clamp held it on well. With a few pounds of air going in and spraying soapy water on the manifold, the leaks, if any, will become readily apparent. I'm going to try to take some narrow strips of Grace Ice and Water shield (a roofing product) to use as a tape to go around the flanges and joints in the manifold. I believe it's worth a try. Along the edge of the roll was a thin, narrow strip of the rubber like adhesive and it really sticks. I believe I should give that a try and work it in with the back side of some curved picks I have, where the flanges meet the heads. Today I tried using that red "Hi-Tack" and it worked for about an afternoon, but then it began popping again. I had been riding with no pops not even on deceleration. Jetting was perfect with a #48 and 185, and the '88 Sportster needle a lot of people like. It was perfect, and I got the best gas mileage ever, 50 +. What a happy motor it was. So it's fixing air leaks for me, tomorrow. I will find a way, without removing and depending on their rubber seals only. I know there is something better for me, so I'm looking for it. I put a vacuum hose into the manifold after I applied the Hi-Tack, to pull it into whatever spaces and cracks there may have been, but I don't think the Hi-Tack was actually durable enough, though it can set up quite thick in time, so it's on to something else.

Its not kick and electric.. f that

great video. now my clutch will run mint

"Bad Boys" trailered their rides? It seems that the definition of "bad Boy" has been feminized.

The Dyna S is just a "pick up"style of non points and no moving parts other then a magnet that is screwed into cam alo g with the advance weight. Don't know of an easier, simple set up!

😁

All the pro bike mechanics I know ride...evo sportsters, hah. I'm 6'5" and I fit fine with forward controls.
