@@joncoteo2530 as for the number on the transmission, if you’re referring to the stamped number in the case, it may just be a serial number to that (those) case(s). If you search your bike’s VIN on the Harley site, you’ll get a part number breakdown of every piece.

@@hellasmoke69 …hope it helped 👍🏼

@@brocky78 well, I have very little Honda experience (1976 CB350 & 2005 VLX600). My knowledge is mostly Harley-Davidson. Sorry that I’m unable to help you out.

@@BMFRich65 …no. I just discovered it when I was doing my first oil change on the bike. There was a small roller bearing on the magnetic drain plug. It came out of the thrust bearing which had completely failed.

@@whiskeymechanic wow!

@@Fernando-z1i1r …glad to help!

Glad to hear that it’s such a good reference for you!

Do we need any grease when putting this coupler back on and how about on the primary side in grease on the I think it’s called pinion gear?

@@ditchcati …a very light coat is all

Always glad to help!

Bummer… hope you get ‘er fixed and back on the road soon!

To me, with 30+ years of mechanical experience in aviation and other applications, I can’t figure why it’s done this way… specifically the way Harley describes it!

Glad it helped

The parts information is directly off the website… www.harley-davidson.com/us/en/index.html

@@whiskeymechanic thanks sir but x440 is not showing catalogue please help I am from india

I’m afraid that’s as much as I can help you with. The Harley-Davidson site should have settings for other countries to view their information & data. I’m not an “I.T.” person, so that’s really all I can say. Send any future questions or requests directly to Harley-Davidson. Good luck!

@@whiskeymechanic ok sir thank for cooperate

Glad it helped 👍🏼

Glad it helped 👍🏼

True… I put Cobra true duals on my FLHT… super happy with them!

It lasted until we sold the bike… couple years at that point.

Absolutely correct 👍🏼

Well, I should have known that some folks may like the wedge, and I apologize… everyone has their opinions, and that’s great. Are you a complete Stage I bike? … your results?

😬 Good luck… definitely sounds internal

That was an early suspicion.

Are you saying, the coupler won’t go on the shaft?

I wasn’t aware of that detail with the tuner… 🤔 interesting & annoying at the same time 😄

@@whiskeymechanic I understand you can tweak the HD bluetooth tuner a tad bit... but still within EPA limits. all it does is allow your engine to run a stage 1 setup without destroying your engine. you will still have the same M8 factory level tune, which is too lean. however, with that said, it is my understanding the M8 factory tune is more rich than the twin cam engines. so much so that you can either run slipons OR a high performance air cleaner without having to retune. of course, retuning to a richer setup is always better. I have read that Powervision(?) has modified their tuners for EPA reasons. don't quote me on that. EPA is clamping down. a Yamaha/Kawasaki/Suzuki dealership here locally was threatened by the CARB for selling offroad tuners. they had to pull them from their shelves or pay a HEFTY fine. and the EPA is getting stricter. all in the name of electrical vehicles.

Thanks for the recommendations 👍🏼

@@whiskeymechanic I misspoke... you will still get hot air into the intake manifold. you bet : - )

Agree 👍🏼 …AND let me add this little note! 👉🏼 the range of deflection is smaller, tighter when done with the wheel on the ground. For my year & model, the “range of deflection” (R.O.D.) was a total of 3/16” on the ground, and (the R.O.D.) was about 1/4” (technically 0.24” or 6.2mm) in the air. 😵‍💫🤯

My 2022 service manual for my Street Glide says to do it with the wheel off the ground... however, as a longtime HD owner, belt deflection was always measured with rear wheel on the ground. A trick I learned years ago is to twist the belt with the rear tire on the ground, no passenger and no luggage. If the belt is properly adjusted, you can turn it by hand 45*. More than that and your belt is too loose. Less than that and your belt is too tight. My manual also has the silly oddball measurements with no number rounded.

Glad you liked them! 👍🏼✌🏼

Watching this again just brought up all the bizarre frustrations I had with this bike. This was easy, once I gave a closer look at all of the parts involved.

I love that sidecar setup... I once looked into it so I could take my dog for rides. The problem on the new HDs is the drop sensor. When turning these bikes like a trike, the ECM gets confused and tells the bike to shut off. I asked HD about this and got a stupid look. I stopped looking after that. Enjoy :-)

Bummer… that really sucks when you’re rolling down the road!

I agree that these are a bad design, being straight roller bearings spinning in a circle 🤷🏻‍♂️ I believe S&S make a heavy duty bearing, but still the same design

@@davidson2004fatboy …I agree with you because if conical bearings were used in this application, you’ll need tapered races instead of flat washers.

Great video have a Honda st1100 brought me to side of road it 1999 year won't go into gear when I push down for first it just starts rattling loud would this be the problem do you think have cleaned replaced seals in slave cylinder all back together seems ok have pressure but same problem trying to put into gear, also is that cock always just behind the actual gear selector pedal? itself am Ameture bike Mechanic have a go you never know type 😃

👍🏼That is another consideration… I have seen “coring a cat” done too, but I have 1 concern about it. I want to find out if the core of the cat is helping minimize reversion, sonic pulses, and thermal pulses… all which can rob power from your engine. Not to mention, I know the cat produces a ton of heat due to the mass of material inside it. Right now, as the bike is configured, I still have the cat’s core in place, and much like the old popular power cones that sat in the base of the header pipes, there is actually a power cone (of sorts) at the inlet of the mufflers. So, being this close to my trip to Sturgis, I’m going to leave it as is and research this more. Stay tuned! Be safe!✌🏼

👍🏼 Thanks for tuning in, but Duane… Why pay probably $600 or more for what I just achieved with the stock mufflers? …I got the sound, and I like how they look too! I’m sure I’ll get questioned about them at Sturgis in a couple weeks. Be safe.✌🏼

Got a link or info on where you purchased?

@@whiskeymechanic Search DK customs torque inserts video on TH-cam. They explain how they work.I would call the DK custom and ask them which size would be the best for your exhaust.

@@ncautolink …power cones or torque cones were quite common back when EVOs were the latest engine. Many guys, including myself, would simply run 1 3/4” straight pipes, and the cones were about the only option (and an easy step) to prevent reversion. Thanks for sharing the info, brother. ✌🏼

Yeah, everyone has their ways, views, and ideas. 31 years ago, I accessorized the hell out of my first, a ‘92 FXSTS. Lately, I prefer a plain black bike, and now I’m down to 2 👉🏼 a ‘05 (carb) FLHT, and this ‘21 RG. Any accessories now are for specific functions or purposes. I honestly felt a little guilty getting the new bike with all the bells & whistles… it’s nice, but my best memories are with 0LJ0E, my ‘05 EG… just like sitting in your favorite chair at home.

You’re absolutely correct. I’ve read the manual too. Both ends have some bevel, taper, etc… one more than the other, but it can still get confusing. I’m simply offering more info to that orientation. 👍🏼

That’s very unfortunate for your brother-in-law! It’s a startling moment when you go to shift and nothing is there. You’re correct about the transmission shaft could become a pricey repair. As for the heel/toe shifter shaft… as long as the pinch bolt stays even loosely inside the inner shifter arm, that shaft shouldn’t fall out. The bolt prevents the arm from sliding off because it can only be installed in the recessed groove…But like he experienced, if that pinch bolt falls out, or the inner arm was never properly installed (only half way) on the shaft, big troubles are coming. 👍🏼 Thanks for watching, and stay safe. ✌🏼

I thought so. You only get a basic instruction sheet in the package. Then you have to look up & print the full instructions from their website. It’s around 10 pages, but a lot of it is pictures and/or the same information but for the different models. First thing that will likely happen is you’ll need to download some updated software/firmware… that’s just the way it is with wireless devices. The fact that you can do a tune at any time with you smartphone is worth every penny… in my opinion.

I’d compare the sound of my modified mufflers to Tabs… very deep growl!

@@whiskeymechanic awesome thank you for the info

@@SharkLifeSean …I hope it all works out for you.

Yep… Hammock seat and mini boards for the wife. Taller clear windshield for the long trips, extra tail lighting, and so on… $$$ Always trying to find a way to save a little money.

👍🏼 Me too!!

Reemplacé los cojinetes de desecho "aceite slinger"

👍🏼 Thanks for tuning in here crockett11000. I have seen DK Customs’ video (and many others) on modifying the head breathers. I run a catch can on my truck, and have absolutely seen the benefits of it. So, I totally agree with you on the topic, and once I decide on which design to go with, I may make a video as well. Here, I’m just trying to throw out my option to y’all on a simple & more affordable “budget” Stage I for a 107” M8. I couldn’t stand the sight of that air cleaner, or the “sewing machine” sound of the engine. The days of straight pipes and jet kits are quickly fading away.✌🏼

I’ll admit that I wish I had an ST! 👍🏼

@@whiskeymechanic there were so many before lol
