Hey Doc, my wife and I were in Charleston last weekend 3.24.2023 and decided to stop by Low Country. I have been there several times but several years back. I found a t shirt and hat and my wife bought a shirt. At the check out I ask the lady behind the counter was Doc in the house. Boy did she have an attitude. She said, go over on the other side and ask them. We don't keep up with them, we sell clothes. I came very close to making a scene but I held my tongue. She was a nice looking girl about 35 to 40 small statue and dark hair. Probably going to awhile before I get back to Low Country. It is not hard to find people with that kind of attitude these days. If I were the owner or manager and I heard an employee talk to a customer like that, she or he would be looking for another place to work. Keep up the videos Doc. I try to watch them all.
WoW battery tender cord near a gear shifter? That’s one long cord eh! 😜 I can sorta see one near an exhaust system especially on touring models but shifter? Thanks for the video!
great tips as always. Just a note for your video editors, they are starting the ending music while you're still talking towards the end so we're missing your comments.
As always, great tips, Doc! Also, when the Techs have to deal with and work around many of the added accessories, it adds time to the job and the customer may be expected to pay for the extra labor involved.
When going along the outside of a frame I run it through a vacuum line then attach to frame. Works great from points to coil going up the frame for shovelheads. Enjoy your videos. Thanx
Doc, Every bit of content you put out there to us is Amazing. I am learning soo much from watching and Ive been riding for close to 30yrs now. Thanks and keep it up. Hopefully I can make it down there some day to meet you. Im in Crappy NY and hoping to move South in a few years
Its official. I love you Doc. As a fellow tech, I really appreciated your take on the pod light issue. Sometimes you can tell if the installer was the customer or a tech.
A good rule of thumb on when you replace your brakes is when the pad is starting to get thinner than the backing plate it's time to start thinking about replacing.
Called doc harley about maintenance question I live 6 hours away he called me back thanks doc harley 👍 I know what dealership I will trade with from now on subscribe it worth it thanks again
Hey Doc,more great tips! One thing that I do when I get home from a ride and don't know when I'll go Ride again is, I put a small piece of blue painters tape on the side wall aligned with the valve stem. I check my tires before every ride and this helps position the bike so that it's easier to check pressure and not have to roll the bike the to find the value stem. (Hard to see behind the bags)
check my tire pressure before each ride,i've got spoke wheels so I'm extra cautious.2004 Dyna only lights are stock location lights, not stock but in the stock location. Thanks again for great tips
Good question.... I thought mine were getting pretty thin so I bought pads and dug into changing them.... The pads on the bike were close to the thickness of the brand new pads.
I like all your videos So I'm new to Harleys since April 2022. I'm from Quebec. I have a question about the spark plugs, could you provide a video on how to remove them and with what tools to use. I have a 2017 FLHTCU with 89,000km. thank you and even more video Doc... Gilbert from Québec, Canada
Welcome aboard Gilbert. I am sure there are plenty of “how to” videos to help you. My biggest suggestion is to purchase a Factory Service Manual. This will help you service your Harley-Davidson….Doc
Great as always Doc. Not a good idea to not wire accessories directly to the battery. Either have a switch in line or connect to an ignition controlled wire. It avoids a possible parasitic drain on the battery.
Help. 21 Electra glide won’t start. Turn key on. Switch To run. Fuel pump cycles. Dash lights up. Then dash lights goes off Maybe dead battery. Tried to jump with jump pack to to starter. And nothing
Service writer is the owners niece, doesn’t know the difference between a spark plug and a banana split, Service writer listens to maybe half of what you say NEVER actually talks to the mechanic, lies quickly and easily when questioned about why the service went sideways, new owners bought my email address, and want my business, parts department no longer stocks parts, WTF do you mean order an oil filter?
💯 Happy Arizona Bike week Everyone !

Noted….Doc
Wise words of wisdom. Thanks Doc.

Ah, a thinking man in action.. Well done.

2007 dyna spoke wheels here too…
😎👍
Big thumbs up for the channel...
Big thanks….Doc
Great video as usual.
What is a good way to gage or estimate the life of the break pads?
Good question.... I thought mine were getting pretty thin so I bought pads and dug into changing them.... The pads on the bike were close to the thickness of the brand new pads.
New style pads have grooves. When you can’t see the grooves it’s time….Doc
My rule of thumb is when the pads are less than the thickness of the backing plate it's time to think about replacing them.

Agree! And don’t forget a fuse in line….Doc
❤❤❤❤
Maybe you are at that rare dealer where the service writer actually communicates with the techs.
4 lights on my motor ,headlight ,2 spot lights ,rear stop light
No directionals in 64
🤘⚡🤘✨✨✨
I put the lights inside my helmet , that way I can see them as I ride.
What a Bright idea….Doc
Lol yes sir!
Doc, 2017 ultra with 67,000 on it .. when do u change fuel filter . Thanks
HD in the service manual suggest at 100K. Must be a Super Filter…..Doc
@@LowCountryHarleyDavidson thank u have a blessed day👍
Help. 21 Electra glide won’t start. Turn key on. Switch To run. Fuel pump cycles. Dash lights up. Then dash lights goes off Maybe dead battery. Tried to jump with jump pack to to starter. And nothing
Got to have a good battery. Have yours tested or replace. But first check the battery connections….Doc
Thank you doc
Use phone camera with flash on to see pads.
Louder than needed closing music kicking in before you are finished talking, drowning you out
not as easy as it used to be getting up off the floor is it doc
hell were getting old my handy I love
Preaching to the choir😁….Doc
@@LowCountryHarleyDavidson lol😂
😎🇧🇻💯
👍👍🇨🇦✌️🇨🇦✌️🔧🔧
Oh Canada you are so kind….Doc
Yeah, those hard wired speakers and amp are the worst. We charge extra for that shit.
🇩🇪👋🏼
Have a hard time getting back up Doc, looks like you do also.
Every year a little slower on the way up Bill….Doc
Summary, If you must put crap on your bike, don’t be a butcher 🔧

Wow that’s a Rant….carry on….Doc
@@LowCountryHarleyDavidson ya, sorry still feeling the pain of that burn, and every time I drive to another city, for basics,
How about this: DO buy a reliable Japanese bike and DON'T buy a pos Harley.
I have a 2014 sportster 1200 has been out in the weather for 9years what would you do first to get running thanks sir
Take it to someone you trust….Doc
