Awesome 👏🏼 I’m about to do my mount next week. I think your the first person I seen that didn’t jack the motor up to the moon. I was hoping there was a better way of doing it. Thanks for showing a better way.

I love the old Ironhead, but I just bought a 1998 Sporty and I think your bike is equal to mine in looks. I sold the '06 that I had, decided to reduce the projects around here.

acorn nuts

I Watched some US news. Wow, if Kamala Harris becomes your president. You guys are poonched

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Thank you for doing this video for us

Take 6 shop rags red ones fold them lay them on your top of tire should give enough room . If not go with 8 shop rags folded . ThankYou Padre 👍

Look up Custom Destruction for your helmet needs he is a great guy and small business I think he could be what your after. Great videos by the way and thanks for the content

Fantastic video, very well put together. Great ideas you both have. The bike is coming together with a great look !! Very best 🇨🇦

Where do I always call them acorn nuts.. no granted that was told to me by one of my squirrels..lol

Thinking back, those old AMF Sportsters were good motorcycles. They were quiet enough in the valve train, though I do remember some gear sounds. My '03 Sportster is loud in the rocker boxes comparatively. As far as I can tell, Harley never made a bad Sportster, though some years have some advantages over others. I think the Sportster motor might be the best motor Harley ever made.

Wish I still had my dad's old cb750 chopper

I am thoroughly grateful for your video. Using the white plastic T's on the airline means you dont have to worry about the line twisting if I used the metal T's instead. Also I was installing a handlebar switch and the wires on it differ from the usual toggle switch. You showing how to test with multimeter is a life saver. Thank you sir!😊

I would think you would spray a lubricant in the cylinder and let sit a few before you try and turn an old dry cylinder?

One of my pet peeves about Harleys is all the different size safety screws. I had to buy a boat load of all size bits, and American standard wrenches and sockets, Allen's head wrenches. The list goes on and on.

I would love to see how you used the old connectors. Did you cut and splice wire or is there a tool to remove and then push new wire in? Or are those connectors a one time use?🤷‍♂️ love your content by the way

this honda is such a great bike!...it would be my forever bike!

what prevents the Harley split tanks cross over tubes at bottom of the tank? What if it clogs it up? Thanks

Thanks folks for another great live chat in the shop. I hope to do this again soon and maybe even weekly because I love being able to read and respond to your comments in real time. It really feels like we are hanging out!

I like using my ears at idle as well if I'm synching carbs as well, I just find the response is much better. Looks like an old Wessel Frisco tank. You may want to lower the air pressure in the rear tire to somewhere around 18-20 PSI to help that tire last a bit longer and give a bit of softer ride. Old school way. Name for the Ironhead would be "Simply Perfect!"

Great job!

👋👋👋👋

So much great detail and knowledge !! Both bikes have a fantastic style of their own. I'm sure how ever you do the Ironhead up, it will be a nice ride ! Kind words :) very best :)

Prayer said. :)

Hey Kevin - Another great video. Love the idea of mirroring Spears pin stripping design into the leather seat. I am looking forward to watching Spears work, (subscribed) and seeing you do the leather seat work. You two make a great team.

Here in Wales it rains all the time, so we make a plate to cover the top of the filters, or carbs are very unhappy. Park her up for a while outside and it's fun to start, let's say that.

Excellent Video Butler, I Love your patience and calmness. Very Very instrumental. Thankyou for your helpful Knowledge. i wish you were in my state.

Another good video. Hope to see you and your dad riding together again soon.

I just found your channel you video is really awesome Im doing my wiring so it's really helpful, the coils are usually right there with a stock cb750 but I think they mighta tucked the coils over into that electrical box old school choopers they like to tuck the coils and wiring but who knows?! Cool bike man.

If you go enduro type tires, be aware that they are not as good on the street as regular street tires, so be more careful as you ride, especially in the rain.

OK, I'm at 21:48 in, and I'm hearing about a hot wire going to the taillight on some product's drawing and there is no fuse in the line, and I'm hearing about if the wire got chaffed, it would burn up the whole wire system there. So now, I'm wondering if I did my new ignition switch right or not. What I did was connect the red to red, red / black line to red / black line, and the red /gray line to red / gray line wire using butt connectors just as the instructions said, but I also put the wire that feeds my single fire ignition coil into a larger yellow connecter where the red / gray line wire goes the the red/ gray line wire. This is how I power up the ignition now, and doing it this way, which is also the way I did it with the old ignition switch, when I installed the new Ultima ignition which did fix all my old misfire problems, and this apparently bypassed the old way the original coil was powered up, from a wire coming from the wiring harness, and doing it the new way, eliminated the old problem I had of blowing ignition fuses when riding down the road, but it also eliminated by handlebar kill switch. However, because I tapped into the red/gray wire from the ignition switch, where it connected to the old wiring harness red/ gray wire, am I now without fuse protection for my ignition coil hot wire, and if so, if something chafes and I get a short, will I burn up my whole new ignition, or coil, or what?

Because I had an ignition fuse blowing from time to time when the bike was not running, I thought I likely had a bad ignition switch, considering that the ignition fuse (this time) was not blowing when running, the only thing I did that I can imagine was turning the ignition switch to on and off, and this apparently was blowing the ignition fuse from time to time. So, I replaced the switch yesterday and so far, all is well. I suppose time will tell. Because I had not ridden the bike in a while, upon start up, I thought something was wrong because it vibrated so bad, and it sounded a bit like an old wash tub, going tater-tot, tater-tot, tater-tot all the time, but then I recalled that is normal. 38 years on BMW's doesn't go away all at once, apparently. I'm not much at all on electrical, so watching these videos has been very helpful.

Thanks a lot it was interesting and educational

Back in 1983 or 82 I bought a xs400... I remember leaving the dealership and writing about two blocks and it died... I pushed it back to the dealership oh and they forgot to hook up or somebody.. I think had a vacuum ,pet cock ..and that was the problem .. no gas flow

Moving that rod before using the puller, now that was an impressive piece of info. Thanks! Really have enjoyed your vids!

Excellent video. Love your attention to detail,which is lacking in most mechanics now a days!

Just curious, do you prefer manual or automatic chain tensioner in the primary?

Nice video! But me being a little ocd I'd have to clean all that grease of the case. It's making bat shit crazy just watching. Lol

The same guy that says cut the shaft to get it off, is the same guy that puts 12mm nut on the clutch cable. Just saying!

wow a beautiful bike

I can say that if this were my bike and i had you doing this inspection to it I'd not only be right there with you but I'd have bright yellow cheerleader pom poms rooting you on with every parts list find and in seconds we'd be striking the "BUY IT NOW" button! It's very rare to me to have someone like you in life that is close.

Great video

Congratulations!

Have you ever known anyone to be able to drill through the shift shaft lever and shift shaft; and press in a roll pin to stop the shift lever from spinning on the shaft? Not sure if it could be done with the inner primary in place; but if I have to go so far as to replicate all this work you're doing, I think I'd take that precaution just to make sure I never have to worry about those splines wearing down again.

btw, it's easy to reuse zip tie by picking the tongue (plastic pollution concern %)
