I have subscribed your Channel, and i really enjoy watching you do “your things” in your Garage. For how many years have you been working with motorcycles? It’s a pleasure to look and see your videoes and get inspired :-) Many Easter Greetings from Denmark and stay safe in these days 👋🏼 BR Andreas
I’ve been kicking the same Shovelhead for 40 years, it’s amazing how they all have their own routine,. 2 drykicks, retard timing, hold your tongue a certain way, quarter throttle,.. Bam, it’s running! 👍
Must be pre cone engine, ie generator. Had points on my '72 cone Shovel. No timing retard for it with an S&S B. And of course an alternator engine. Never had to retard the spark on any bike. Kicked often.
My girlfriend just said the same thing so the first thing I do is check the comments and sure enough I see you comment! Awesome looking bike mike! I’ll be back!
Hey Mike, I've just come across your channel for the first time. I'm in my early 20's and although I'm passionate about motorcycles, I've never been into Harleys much. I think you've started to change that for me, especially for the old ones. I love the pleasant demeanor in your videos, and I've been watching them just to relax. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge, and I hope to see many more!
I had a cool shop teacher, too. He used to tell awful dad jokes, like the one about Chevrolet and Toyota partnering up to make a new car. They called it the Toy-let, it's kind of a shitty design.
I love your enthusiasm. And yes we are facing trying times right now. It's great to see somebody talk about something other than the current headlines, and your yellow knucklehead is badd ass!!!!! It is so obvious that you take exceptionally good care of that bike! That's refreshing to see.
Nice bike old iron heads got hot quickly without cooler. Usually needed rebuild after about 25 thousand nostalgia machine wouldnt trust reliability on a long haul though
Thank you. I'm glad you own that knucklehead, its beautiful and I know there will always be 1 well taken care of beautiful pieces of motorcycle history
Thanks for uploading this! My dad had a 1938 knucklehead back in the late '80's. It was turned into a chopper back in the late '60's. I remember being about 10 years old and sitting on it thinking that it was the coolest thing ever. It really brings back memories and nostalgia for me. I wished it was still here. I dream to one day build a knucklehead chopper of my own but knucklehead's are priced to where a working guy can't afford them these days. I have no idea how anybody can hate on this video. The bike is perfect and I wouldn't change a thing about it.
Loved this video and it has inspired me to to build mine. I have a 1947 frame that my brother in law found in a backyard stripped . Now I have an idea of what it could actually look like. Enjoy all of your videos and I find them very helpful. Hopefully see you out on the road sometime.
Great bike Mike. I always love watching your videos. It encourages me to build my own Harley oldskool Evo chopper which is coming on really well now. Be safe and keep posting videos 😎👍
Man I love your knuckle, color and everything, keep the rubber side down my friend I wish I'd live closer to you so I could have you work on one of my bikes, I love your work sir..
Amen Mike! "Hold your loved ones close". Your smile while standing behind the thumping exhaust pipes was priceless! I appreciate watching your starting procedure. Your video brought a little sun into this rainy morning! Cheers
My job was shut down for a whopping 3 days and suddenly we get a call that we have been deemed " essential" !! LMAO I'm in NY. Billionaires can get anything done ya know??
@@teslaedison6236 essential as in MTA car maintainer get called into work too. 80% of the time we wear masks anyway cause of all of the particles flying around in the shop. Forget summer time dust and heat.
I have just watched this again, when I saw it during the lockdown here in UK your sentiments and care was greatly appreciated. Thank you again Mike and 'Camera Man Mike'. Ride safe and take care.
I know its an older video but I have recently purchased my first Harley Davidson, its a 1981 Shovelhead Lowrider FXS that was in need of some love. Your videos have helped me through some stressful times when it comes to rebuilding the bike. I thank you for your videos. your soft spoken kind nature in how you present your work is great. I hope some day to have the knowledge you have and the time to pass it on as well like you do. Thank you sir.
Thanks Mike: u remind me of the good old days ,when I used to work at a garage shop for Pepsi Pete ,who paid me in Harley parts 👍,those were good times bro,good times .He liked knuckle heads to ....🇺🇸
Very nice Knucklehead. Definitely my favorite H-D engine. I don't know why they remind me of WWII radial engines but they do. Love the videos Mike can't wait for next build. Be safe.
Thank You. It's the same technology. I was sitting in my friend's 1943 Steerman Biplane. It has a larger Pratt and Whitney radial engine than it came with. At idle, it sounds like nine of the finest Knucklehead cylinders I've ever heard. Take care and Thank You.
Just remember, these are very basic carburetors, perfect to learn from. There is no accellerator pump, and the fuel enters into the combustion chamber because of suction from the engine itself. How you control that suction is how you start your engine. Don't forget to retard the timing, just to start.
I have to admit that since first seeing this video, I have come back and watched and listened to this bike several more times - this is probably the most perfect bike I have ever witnessed and I just love that bike so much. That knuckle is so gorgeous - the yellow is fantastic. I would love to see you bring that sweetheart out to Cook's Corner on a Sunny afternoon...you would be the envy of many!!!! Hot Diggity what a bike, Sir!
I like that. "The dark side." It's all about having a good time. I've ridden tons of sport bikes. But, my real love is this old Harley stuff. There's room for all of it.
it will be excellent when you get that wireless mic, so you can let us hear the bikes at speed too. that bronze clamp and riser set is sweet as f__k too.
Oh my gosh!!!! A 1947!! I had an El 1947 I bought in 1977! I loved that bike! A job loss caused me to have to sell her in 2017. Damn near broke my heart, certainly damaged my soul! And I damn well can't afford another like her. The blood, the sweat, the tears I poured into her. Got her back to 85% factory stock, all before the internet made hunting for parts, easier. Of course, the starting sequence was a thing of magic! Just let me sit back and soak in that sweet, sweet sound. Thanks for posting this, my Brother.
Beautiful bike! It's finally supposed to be nice weather here in Pittsburgh on Thursday, time to wake up the Shovel and go for a putt! We can go anywhere we want here in Pennsyltucky. lol
Beautiful sounding mill. I have definitely been enjoying all of your videos. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and the entertainment. I am curious, are you based out of the I.E.?
Hearing that Knucklehead start just moved my hand to the subscribe button.. I can't wait to see how the project will look and heer more motorcycles! :D
Beautiful, just beautiful. I just bought a '56 Model KH custom, been watching your videos so I can understand it a bit better, since I am an Evo forward rider. Thanks Mike, I love your enthusiasm.
It's like a art to start and keep running ..thanks sounded great .old school biker can tell you what's wrong just by hearing it.and thank you for the good words 👌
LOVE IT! I had a yellow Shovelchop--- a mag-fired 93" 82 Shovel in a 51 HD wishbone. Farthest I ever rode in one day was on that bike, 950 miles from Brooklyn NY to my great aunt's in north GA. Yellow chops are my favorite, since I was a kid and saw Lewie Roseberry's yellow knuckle in EZriders in 1977.
Cool. I remember it well. I think Pangwich Utah to San Luis Obispo Ca. in one day was the longest in one day I ever did, something like 750-800 miles. I couldn't believe how tired.
Your yellow Harley was the stuff of dreams for a small town kid who knew he could never have such a great Harley because: 1) had not the expertise to build such a project, nor did anyone within 100 miles 2) had not the funds and no prospects of having same anytime within the next 20 years 3) had not the ability to kick-start (or ride) such a big motorcycle with any confidence 4) did not want people to think he imagined himself to be Peter Fonda or an outlaw biker 5) did not want outlaw bikers to think he was an outlaw biker BUT I STILL LOVE THE GLORIOUS CHOPS! Thanks for a great video.
Somehow we're just not that different. I've outlived all of those things you've mentioned. I'm just me, cleverly disguised as myself. But when I get on that Knuckle, I forget I'm not 18 years old any more.
@@pacificmike9501 I'm doing a photo series on old Harleys and their long time owners. I may be out West in the Spring, would you be interested in participating in that ? I'm a hobby photographer, taking pictures of the people and things I like. I just replaced my you tube picture with a picture of my 78- 93 Stroker. :) maybe that will inspire?
@@signedbybd I want one ! Why would any normal person bitch about Any Color? It's a Knuckle for f*cks sake....Just be lucky to have some bro. Post it , to see one running live , priceless. smh
I think I'm going to get a mic like that for my videos so you can hear my exhaust better. GoPro internal mic isn't cutting it for me. Viewers say it sounds sufficient. Bike is awesome Mike ! Reminds of the bikes Keanu Reeves rides bit smaller but he loves the oldschool custom builts
It's the first time I'm, here, on your channel. Just was browsing some awesome looking and sounding bikes. That's an original, great looking and sounding motorcycle, this Knucklehead of yours. And your smile is just priceless, just like mine when I'm about to take off on my Intruder. It creeps on every biker's face when they put their machine to life and that's why we love motorcycles. Lots of love from Poland and stay safe and healthy!

I think I'm going to get a mic like that for my videos so you can hear my exhaust better. GoPro internal mic isn't cutting it for me. Viewers say it sounds sufficient.
Bike is awesome Mike ! Reminds of the bikes Keanu Reeves rides bit smaller but he loves the oldschool custom builts
Thank you. I thought Mr. Reeves used all late model motors.
@@pacificmike9501 well when he pushes his brand yes. But while doing errands around Cali he has a few older models.
@@pacificmike9501 I meant his bikes are a bit shorter. He doesn't ride choppers.
Beautiful! Just beautiful man.
AND BRONZE!😯
Yah. Thank You.
It's the first time I'm, here, on your channel. Just was browsing some awesome looking and sounding bikes. That's an original, great looking and sounding motorcycle, this Knucklehead of yours. And your smile is just priceless, just like mine when I'm about to take off on my Intruder. It creeps on every biker's face when they put their machine to life and that's why we love motorcycles. Lots of love from Poland and stay safe and healthy!
Thank You. And love to you and yours in Poland.
Hi Pacific Mike from France. I love your bike and for me, this IS real mechanic, the one that you have to know about, to be able to love it. Congrats!
Interesting way of looking at it, but good. Thank You.
