Thanks, brother. Clear and right to the point, with each step explained in just the right amount of detail.....and no annoying music .
thank you vincent...glad the video helped!
Thanks man! I have the HD service manual, but learn better by seeing vs. reading. This was exactly what I needed! Also, I like your no bull$hit style of video. Other youtubers would have turned your straight to the point, 14 minute video into a 35 minute production. Well done! I am now a new subscriber to your channel.
im the same way Jamie! Id rather watch it and do it then read it but its great for those torque specs and in a crunch to have it. Thank you for the sub nd also checking out the videos..much appreciated!!
I've NEVERRRR subscribed to a channel before watching this video!!! Steve's no nonsense, COMPLETE approach to this repair issue was amazing! Helpfull tips, along w/ Steve's practical experience pointers, totally gave me the confidence to tackle this repair. I wanna have a couple of beers with this guy!! You're the man Steve, look forward to watching more of your vid's!!
TH-cam mechanics yelling at you for using vise grips 🤣 I look forward to all your videos bagger related or otherwise. Thanks Steve
LOL...yeah man...I knew as soon as I put vice grips on there it would have been "yUoURe RuInINg ThAT HosE" ...so I literally spent the extra 8 bucks for clamps just to save the headache.
Love the way you explain things! I have a hard time with manuals and paper instructions?! I learn by example and feel privileged to be able to look to guys like yourself for assistance with things! I am older but new to the internet world. I am finding out the information is endless. More of a stripped down softail / chopper guy but, definitely subscribed to your channel! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!!!
Really glad to help Billy! Thank you for watching!
I love all your videos. So informative! So sarcastic to the haters! And probably most important they let me imagine to work in what I imagine is a nice air conditioned shop while I sit in 100* heat with a dirty box fan blowing on me trying to find out why I can’t do what I’m trying to do!
I worked on bikes many years with no ac, a crappy barrel fan and a diesel salamander heater in the winter ...i understand, completely!
I just watched your video about 4 hours ago, then drove into town to the shop where I'm getting started on my 2003 Heritage, and had no issues removing my tank, thanks to you. I will add, a small shortcut I used from your method was to use just one hose clamp on the crossover hose, then after draining the side I removed the hose from first, I pulled the hose with the clamp on it back out the other side and stuck it in the long neck of my gas can, then simply undid the clamp to let that side drain. My gas can was a Plastic 2 1/2 Gallon can with the long flexible plastic pour spout, and that 5/16" hose fit in it perfectly, including length wise, due to the height of the jug and the length of the pour spout. I will say if your tank is over half full you will either need a bigger gas can or you'll have to empty it before completely emptying your gas tank. Thanks again for the great how to video, I look forward to watching your others...
Thanks for chekcing it out and glad the video helped you! I hear you on the bigger can..Ive been there done that lol
Thanks for the video.
I’ve got a 99 Fat Boy that has a 2 piece tank. Same basic process for removal, just a few additional steps because of the 2 tanks.
Ah yes..I wish I had time to add some of the other tanks in one video.
Thanks for your instructional video. I just got thru rebuilding my fuel check valve. It was NOT fun since I did not totally remove the tank, just unbolted it, propped it up and used a mirror to see inside the coupling/quick disconnect where the check valve goes. After watching many videos using the process of elimination for the cheesy/risky steps to damage further components/parts. Without the $50.00 fuel tools kit, I bought the rebuild kit consisting of the spring, valve and 2 O’ rings supplied in the package. I used dental picks and a 9/32 deep well socket, small mirror and flashlight for the job. I spent a careful amount of time since I’m limited where to work on this bike and careful not to lose any parts on the ground(mainly the new spring). As much as I didn’t want to lose the “old”spring even though I probably wasn’t going to reuse it, it fell and landed somewhere I can’t find it. So with that being said, little parts and big fumbly fingers, I took extra care and time to make sure my new spring didn’t get lost. Anyway once I got the spring, check valve and 1st O ring in place. I made sure I seated it in the groove best I could see with the socket😅 or end of a blunt nail head/Allen wrench to avoid damaging the o ring during seating. The second O ring that sits below the valve took a bit of working with but going with what I see in the mirror up into the coupling, it is properly seated in its groove just below the check valve. Once done I reinstalled everything(tank, wiring, fuel line etc. filled the tank with just enough gas to crank it without refilling too much until confirmation of the job was a success. I turned on the ignition to check for leaks however still seeing a steady drip out of the coupler. I am stumped since I double checked the coupler to make sure the rings are seated correctly but my big question and frustration now after ALL that time and effort is…WHY is it “still” leaking? Is there someone I’m missing or another issue lying in the fuel line male fitting that goes up into the coupler, could that be faulty or worn out? Could it be the O rings not the proper size and not sealing correctly? I’m ready to ride but with gas leaking, it’s not good and sure not taking the chance to even starting the bike. Any suggestions?
One of the best tutorials I’ve ever seen lol. Why can’t they all be this simple! Thx man, I wish I watched this before I lifted my gas tank and broke my gas line. As simple as pushing up on a quick release could’ve saved me a tank of gas from spilling all over my bike 🤦🏼♂️
aahh man..that sounds like you had a mess going on..just this little bit of gas I lost making this video stunk up mu garage for a week lol thanks for checking it out and hopefully it helped for future reference for sure...be safe!
Omg 😮
I invested in a transfer pump that works off of 12V. I installed a 12V cigarette plug on my adventure bike incase I need to reuse someone that ran out of gas. I use it also to drain all my unleaded gas from my 97 Yamaha Royal Star 1300 in prep for winter storage. I fill the tank with treated leaded gasoline and then run the carbs out with petcock in closed position with engine running until it cuts out. Bike always starts without a problem in the Spring. I have the same clamps and they work well. Another very good video.
Thank you Manuel! Yes sir thats what its all about...I have a manual pump but figued I would show everyone how to do it with no pump....I need to invest in a 12V operated one for sure.
That was great. Thanks. You may have mentioned it, but does anyone put a quick disconnect on the crossover line? Then next time you just pop the QD and Bob's your uncle.
I made a right mess of this on my 2010 Fat Bob a few years back. Fuel everywhere 🤣 Great to watch how it should be done.
Hey Dave...super easy to do...like the time I grabbed a 1/4 inch line and tried to shove it on a 5/8 and it wouldnt go and I had gas shooting everywhere..lol good times.
Great video, doing my brake pads soon after watching your video on that. Saving $$ by doing it myself.i was going to take it to the Harley dealer but after watching id figure id try it myself
thats what its all about...saving money...there is a lot of things we can do on our own that will save tons of money in the long run...simple things like filters, oil cages, brakes, flushes etc..all stuff we can from home with a few simple tools ..thanks for checking it out!
So much easier to watch you than fish through a greasy manual. Very informative. Ideal +++
sorry for the late reply simon..but thank you...always grateful to be a help!
I’ll add. I’ve never taken the tank off because of that damn crossover line AND the fuel line coupling. Mine was always stuck. Didn’t want to force it so never went the distance. Made changing my wires a pain in the ass (I have a RK and the coil sits under the tank). For those with a FI older bike- shoot some WD40 on the coupling. 30 min later a wiggle with a flat head and it came out.
Thanks for giving me a technique this coming weekend. Need to run speaker wire to my new bag lids.
Yes they can be tedious to take off and even sometimes put back on, especially if you have large hands...hard to get in there. Thanks for checking it out. be safe and good luck getting your audio all hooked up!
thanks, this was very helpful, i feel more confident removing my tank after watching this video.
Youre very welcome..glad to help!
I always add a 1/4" goodridge quick disconnect on those when I do them so next time it is WAY easier and they are no spill disconnects also.
yes ..thats a great idea!
Thanks Steve. A pretty straight forward process.
Youre very welcome my friend!
@@sikbaggers just a quick question. i have a california 2021 CVO limited and i installed a 2 into 1 pipe on it. test rode it for about 1.5 hours (no freeway) amd it seemed fine. no backfires, good solid power, didnt think the motor ran hot. can i do away without a tuner or getting it dyno tuned?
@@henrytran3642 If you idnt change your air cleaner to an open air cleaner then I wouldn't worry about it. You didn't change the fuel to air mix...just changing the slip on will not effect anything. If you change the air cleaner to open style (more air in) and the header (cats removed, more air out) then you need to tune. The slip on will only change the sound and give you slightly better air flow but not enough to need a tune as its still restricted by the air cleaner and stock headers.
23,000 hours later... sure feels like it takes that long. Thanks for the great video!
lol indeed! Thanks for checking it out!
I am putting o. 16 inch ape hangers on my 07 heritage classic, will be doing myself for first time thanks for video so helpful 🍻
Grateful to have helped Chris!!
Hello Steve, my Nephew is having troubles with the headlight on his Soft Tail. I sent him your video and he said it was very helpful. I believe his Soft Tail is a 2016, and the cross over line has a quick disconnect in it which is great! His complaint is when he turns the handlebars the light goes out. I helped him out with texts and phone conversations. He got the tank off and pulled the headlight. So I mentioned to him to get the wiring together enough to light the headlight and move the harness around until the light goes out. He didn’t want to start dissecting the harness which is understandable. If you have any other advice please let me know. Thank you for sharing, and I did subscribe. Thanks again.
Very informative and entertaining as usual. Gonna be getting my Heritage painted and figured I may as well save a little money on disassembly and reassembly
very glad the video helped...taking the tins off the softail is pretty easy and for sure will save you some dough!
helped me, thank you
Youre very welcome !
Thanks for the video! Going to be doing this to my 99 classic today as she has been sitting awhile.
Glad to help
@@sikbaggers worked perfectly! Feels good to be working on my own ride! Appreciate the videos!
New to the channel. Watched a couple videos so far. Very informative for someone like me that is lacking in the mechanics skills. 👍
Thanks for checking them out Jerry! Glad I could help..have any questions just let me know.
Thanks for putting up this video ive been trying to figure out a way to pull off the cross over tube on my road king so i can get my new cables and rocker lockers in
Yeah its such a pain that I thought it deserved it own video..unlike the bagger tanks that come off in about 2 minutes. Im glad it helped you!
@@sikbaggers my road king is a bagger but it is a 04 so still has the dumb cross over line. Quick question about oil what is your opinion on redline or maxima oil
You sure made my job easier. Thanks so much for this video. God bless.
Youre very welcome...glad to help!
Thank you so much for your great video. It works very simple once you know how to do it. My 2007 EG has the same connection.
I have a old electric fuel pump with a long leads with alligator clips that I've had for years !!
I have used it for my Harley a couple of times , work great ! you can stick the end in the Tank all the way to the
Bottom end & drain it that way !!! But I like your clamps, I might getting some of those
Thanks Rex...yes I need to invest in a pump..I have an old manual one and man it takes forever pumping it out...this way is faster but messier for sure.
Great Video! Thank you. BUT I missed the link on where to by the replacement fuel hose. Can you please help?
oh I just got it from harley..they have roles of it in the back for their techs...and its cheap...I think i paid like 3 bucks for a foot of it and cut it to length
Thanks For the how to video., You always have great videos on how to do some of this stuff yourself have a great week and Stay Safe out there
Thank you Cathy!! And you as well.
Just do wheelies in your front yard till you run out of gas, problem solved and it was much more fun.
LOL...agreed!
23000 hours later.. LOL!!!!! Dude you make this look so easy. Thanks Steve.
Hey J...yeah the bagger tanks come off in about 2 minutes and these softail tanks ..whew half a dang day just to remove a tank lol
What size is the hose if you’ve got an Amazon link I’d appreciate it
Tell em why you wanna discconect that fuel line before you lift up on the tank....I learned the hard way.
lol..yeah man...been there!
i just want to thank you for the great tutorial. now iam going to do the sane job on 02 night train and i know what to do as i have only removed my 91 softail twin tanks i and the singlr tank was new to me like i said it was nice to watch first you could not do that in 91 when i last removed my tanks lolo.
thanks and stay in the wind bro.
felty out.
Hey robert thanks for checking it out. Glad the video helped..its not too bad of a job...just stinky from the fuel lol
@@sikbaggers yeah it was pretty easy after all no pb just installed lights under tank thanks again bud.
Very helpful and to the point 😊
thank you for checking it out!
Can I add fuel on the left side of the tank my has a fuel gauge when open the fuel cap I see wires so I never add fuel in that side
Very helpful video, thanks so much !
thank you for watching and glad to help!
Thanks for explaining the cross over. Appreciate. 👍🏽
Youre very welcome Michael! Thanks for checking it out!
Great video, showed it perfectly 👏
thank you...glad to help!
Thanks for the video, planning on removing tank off my Fat boy soon and this is just what I needed!
Thanks for checking it out Patriot! Im sure glad it helped...its a bit messy but not too bad..just get the right size hose for draining or replacing..some are 1/4 and some are 5/8
@@sikbaggers Did you see my recent question? Seems 1/4" or 5/16" is standard stock? 2004 Heritage FLSHCI
If you had the bottom part of the quick connect with a hose attached to it, could you drain the tank from there? Or am I missing something?
techically you could
Excellent video man...! Just what I've been looking for because I'm gonna have to replace my intake seals soon on an 07 Softail.! Do you have a video of the installation procedure on how to install the intake seals.?
I sure dont but I will very soon. My bassanis just shipped and ill be installing them soon.
I’m just gonna say that this video would’ve been great to watch before I attempted to remove mine. Likely set a cuss word record during my…fiasco.
Hey Brad I feel your pain ....they suck either way..im pretty sure the fuel tank was an after thought from HD...not a good design
Hi thanks for your info. I watched your video so now i can remove the tank needed the know how to remove wiring i emptied my fuel tank by getting a piece of garden hose and got air into the tank using a rag to seal where the air gun went into the tank putting a container at the other end of hose once the hose has fuel in it it will drain with out the air and the hose will suck up any rust or rubbish in tank
I hope this helps any one cheers Tony
Thanks for checking it out...and yes lots of ways to drain the tank...just wanted to show how the service manual says to do it...but yes...for sure a lot BETTER ways than this lol
Got a video on removing the handle bars? Great video
coming soon!
Forget tho crossover. I want that shirt! Lol
lol thanks man..limited run from Dixxon flannels
Awesome vid man, I enjoyed it. Got my tank off, but how do you get all the old gas out. I let it drain and shook out what I could, but there's still some in there. It's an 06' Wide Glide that sat for a few years and yep the gas smells like varnish. Any suggestions? Cheers!
sorry for the late reply...some of these slipped by me...the best way to get it all out is to waste a little gas ...since you have the tank off...just water down the old fuel with some new fuel, swish it around and keep dumping it out...just small bits at a time...even if there is a little left after you fill the tank it will dilute it so much it wont matter..youll be good.
Dude thank you! Super helpful and clear! New sub for sure
I appreciate you! Glad to help!!
Thanks Steve. Always enjoy your videos
Thank you Pat!
Is there anything specific that you have to do with purging the fuel system. Once you install the tank back.
turn the biek on and off a few times and itll refill...only takes a second
Do you have a video showing how to replace head and rocker box gaskets on 2005 softail deluxe
Thank You! Well done mate!
thank you sir!
Thank you mate, explained and demonstrated perfectly, 👍🏼
thank you for checking it out and grateful to help! Also...pretty cool bikes your making over there. Keep it up!
@@sikbaggers thank you, 👍🏼
Hey bro great video, they sell pliers to get that clamp off their A-frame pliers.
Damn that's a project, eh!!!
yes../.yes it is lol
Did it in style with the Dixxon Flannel and hat awesome video
aahh yeah love the dixxons! Thanks for checking it out!
On the feul injection bikes there's a tool called the Feul Tool that can connect to the injection output and use the bike fuel pump to mostly empty the tank.
Yes sir and thank you for checking it out...just showing how to do it for free here...but yes that tool is amazing!
Great videos Steve,gives me the confidence to work on my softail deluxe, best wishes mike 🇬🇧 Uk
Thank you Mike! Glad the videos have helped. Be safe!!
Stay safe Steve,roll on spring time,ride free,
Enjoy Daytona,Steve,
What size gas line do you use for your drain hose?
not sure if you ever did a m8 external oil breather video or not, but I would love to hear your opinion on m8 breather situation and your fix/ideas! thank you.
I havent addressed that yet but im sure I will this spring...we have a buddies bike that needs addressed and im trying to get it in here for the service. Weather permitting
Very good at explaining the steps
Thank you Howard! And thanks for checking it out!
Really enjoy your videos man they help me! I’m working on removing the tank on my old 98 road king with the M&M FI. What size was that spare fuel line you used 5/16? Thanks again man.
Sorry i missed this Trent ...swore i replied but its showing i didnt...and yes i used 5/16 but your bike may be different
I just changed out my rocker boxes and covers on my 2014 Fatboy Lo. Once completed, the bike won’t start. I must’ve turned the starter over 10 times now but nothing. All my connectors are hooked up properly. Plugs n wires are all in place, fuse is installed…… and nothing. I’m freaking out a little thinking maybe I didn’t get the correct top-dead-center when I reinstalled the rockers. Oh and I made sure there was 2 gallons of gas in the tank.
plug wires in the correct position? I know that sounds dumb but trust me, it happens. Its easy to flip those wires around in the wrong spot and it wont start and if it does it runs like shit...worth a double check, been there done that
Awesome video as always!
Always enjoy your videos
Thank you Jim!
Great video Steve! Very infomative, quick question, what size is the lower fuel cross over hose 1/4" or 5/16" ??...
I'm using vise grips {grin} replacing old hose anyway.
Thank you Scott..mine was a 1/2 inch
@@sikbaggers really? Is that ID or OD?
or just HiFlo? 2004 Heritage Softail
what is the crossover line for if you dont mind me asking i just got a softail and the guy i got it from said one of the tanks is not connected so i only get fuel to one side of the tank and want it to know if i do the crossover line would help me get gas to both sides of the tank
what softail did you get? That will help me better answer your questions
Very helpful. Thanks.
youre very welcome.
I made a big ass mess taking my tank off of my 2010 deluxe lol. But it had to be done for me to do the wiring and stuff to put 18” ape hangers on my bike 🤓🇺🇸😁
aaah getting ready to do that next on this bike...one of the reasons for pulling the tank...get it out of the way!
@@sikbaggers I have heard of people doing it without pulling the tank off but thats gotta be a pain in the ass lol
Thanks bro you made it look easy enough
Thank you Frank...its pretty simple once you get in there...not too bad at all.. although I wont lie..I was dreading it...just because of the gas fumes you smell for a few hours after releasing that line. whew!
Get a old Injector fuel line and just plug in turn ignition on just to start a flow turn off ignition and let the fuel drain. It's slow but gets most of the fuel out. You way is faster and just as easy.
Hey Bill....yes sir another great way to do it and it gets the job done...but yeah grab a drink..its gonna be awhile lol Been there.
@@sikbaggers couple of beers works.
Do we even need the crossover line on these Harley’s??
harley thought they did
Question,I've got a 98 flhtcui that doesn't have the fuel outlet quick disconnect, do you have a video showing the removal of ,and there are 2,of this connection as well as replacing the fuel filter in these ancient Evos ,filters encased in an aluminum container unlike the new paper one. Thanks
I sure dont Bruce..but I do have a service manual for the 98 online if you want to check that out. You cna download it from my link here drive.google.com/file/d/1qM4iP_Z3Cu-hmt48Vkc5Ex8h_ODwAGIJ/view?usp=sharing It has a diagram of the fuel system and maybe that can get you started or going in the right direction.
@@sikbaggers very nice,I'll check it out,you've been very helpful to this old dude! Greetings again from Tampa Florida 😎
Thanks Steve for the explanation! I have a 2006 Softail Deluxe and I would like to know if is possible that crossover to be obstructed, because I can’t ride for more then 100 miles without refill my bike. If could you help me thank you!!
I guess that it probably could be but you can replace that hose very easily from any tractor supply store or anyone that carries fuel line..just buy 1 foot of line and cut it down to size ...it should cost a couple of bucks..there is not special about the fuel line..it is just standard and you will need the size of your hose. You could take it off and take it with you to the store and compare it. Then you will know for sure if it is clogged and very easily change it while you have it off.
@@sikbaggers thanks!!👍🏽
hey Steve i just seen that new horn you have on that softail i didn't see a video on that.. you mind me asking, what horn is that..it looks GREAT
Ah yes...I snuck that in because it was just one nut and 2 wires lol...didnt figure anyone would care how to do it lol But it is the Arlen Ness 10 gauge horn
Thanks man.
Youre very welcome
Would be Awesome to see you do a video on Ciro 3D Tac-10 light cannons.
that is in the works!
You Da Dam Man!!!!!! So simple!! Thanks
Thank you Joey!
How you get that back tank bolt off? Mine just spins.
Thank you for checking it out! And yes me too....takes a few seconds and could stop a potential leak from debris.
Enjoyed the video , good tips.
Thank you James!
Thank you, good video
youre very welcome and thank you for checking it out
Thanks for your videos
Thank you Wesley! Much appreciated!
@4:40 now that I have disconnected that and the fuel won't stop pissing out of the self closing valve, how do I fix this? I tried plugging the hose back in and disconnected it a ton of times and it just won't quit, and yes the male connector appears to be seated correctly each time. Then I started to remove that valve from the tank to see if there was debris or something inside there, but now I can feel that it's attached to a hose or something inside the tank...and I'm reluctant to remove it completely in case I screw it up further than it's screwed up.
2011 Fat Boy. Anyone know the answer?
if your check valve is leaking you have damaged o rings.
@@sikbaggers Thank you brother! Yes, I've been hitting the old google and it's like climbing down a ladder you don't know where the bottom is. I have a new check valve and pipe on order. I thought about replacing the O rings...but don't have the time right now. You should have seen the mess of gas all over my workshop floor. Thanks for the great video, and thanks for your response, very much appreciated for both!
Just a thought if you cut the cross over line in the center after pinching off both sides put in a T fitting with with a valve attached connect the long drain hose and drain the tank you could leave one side connected then remove the tank. Reinstall the tank hook up one hose and plug the valve just to be safe. Now your all set up for the next time you want to remove or drain the tank. OOPS guess I should have finished watching the whole video DUH
hahah I was about to say I did mention that in the video...lots of ways of getting it done for sure.
iSN'T THERE A WAY TO DRAIN THE TANK FROM THE feed line.? Once it is disconnected, isn't there a tool that will connect to the feed line connection at the rear of the tank and drain it from there?
not really sure...you can pump it out through the fill hole with a cheap pump from harbor freight ...i think that wo9uld be best if you wanted to just drain it..heck I may try that next time
The feul tool check on eBay.
On point brotha
Thank you for checking it out Brian! Be safe!
I have a question. Why does no one ever just take another fuel line quick coupler put a long hose on it unplug your fuel line plug the other one in and drain the fuel out in a can?
its not worth the price to pay for the coupler unless you are doing this all the time..which most people are not. You dont loose but a spits worth of gas doing it like this and cost a few bucks.
@@sikbaggers thank you for the answer I am not surprised I have an Electra Glide with a crossover line I have had the tank off of it it is not the end of the world the other way just seemed like it would be easier plus you could keep it in your saddlebag and if someone was a small tank ran out of fuel you could help them out.
Thank you
yes sir!
Thanks brother!!
Any time! Thanks for checking it out !
Great video
Great job!
thank you!
If the tank is almost empty will fuel still run out of the cross over tubes ?
as long as there is fuel around those holes it will come out
@@sikbaggers question for you i have an 03 softail with a 88ci . I believe it has the 95 ci kit on it heads are screaming eagle with compression release screaming eagle intake screaming eagle air cleaner kit and has way more power than a stock 88... has 13 thousand miles but it has a tick to it . Not as quiet as a stock 88.. is this normal.. ? Bought the bike this way I can only assume it is cammed also I put a screw driver on the rocker cover bolt and I can hear it clearly in the handle. Makes me believe its valve train noise . Any input?
Also I will not the tick is the same hot or cold
What size was that hose?
Will the vacuum petcock drain without vacuum? Or running?
it shouldnt...thats the purpose of having a vacuum style...it nees to have vacuum to to flow
I really enjoyed your video, very informative and you made me laugh, 😅
lol thanks for checking it out Mark! Glad to help sir!
I hot a question, I had mine bored to a 95 abt 20000 mi ago and it sounds like something came loose in my rocker box, I had them install rocker lockers. Do you think that it could be that?
Also is my 06 heritage the same as the one you just took off?
Great video !
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for the video ! will come in handy this weekend !
