Helping out a friend is always good and to be honest I’ve enjoyed this mini projects.
He’s a busy guy, I think he’s excited to ride it again with all the fixes. I’ve enjoyed the process as well.
Manny is lucky to have you for a friend, not only can you repair his bike, but you can also do it right.
Guess with the handle bars you will be rewiring? You did good. You're a true friend. Wish more people would learn how a true friend should be. Thank you for sharing. Much love. Stay safe and healthy
Well, there’s wiring to the dash, so shouldn’t be too bad just to hook up some handle bar buttons 🤞🏻
I'm 67 years old with my first bike, a 1998 Sporty with '03 running gear. I bought it in 2019, and since have replaced petcock, and just did a shifter pawl adjustment in my 10 x 12 shed. lol
".. and I'm sure I'm going to be working on this again..." Yeah, probably so. Manny got a good deal simply in you squaring the axle and in getting the chunks out of the brake line. Surprising those had not caused him problems. I don't know if you ever said what year of Sportster this is, but I'm not sure it has aged well. Looks great though.
The first two owners from my understanding rode it a ton, and modified it a lot! No clue how many miles are on it, it’s a 2002. Manny and I have been friends for well over a decade now. Good guy.
Holy crap that caliper is crazy. I can’t believe it even worked 😬
Right!
Great video thank you very well done.
Cleaned up real nice!
Whats funny is out of my 2020 iron 1200 stage 2 sportster, my 01 dyna and 2018 softail i ride my sportster the most. Such fun fun bikes
When you and shade tree were building sportsters I had a chance to pick one up I've had so much fun working on that thing.
That might feel like a whole new bike now lol
Thanks Jordan great video the work looks awesome
The safety wire on the front caliper is usually required by some racing organizations, maybe this bike was flat tracked or possibly used for track days as I’ve seen Sportsters at track days at NJMP
I guess he did race, not this bike, but it explains some of the styling choices.
In Texas you could not get it inspected and registered without signal lights and horn. Have to get it inspected before you can register yearly.
Bike is looking nice I love that you Decided to The powder coat that fender And the sissy bar
I ride a sportster and I’m not that far from you and Jess , I live in maggoffin co. Jess has actually rode threw here when she stayed at red river gorge. Love my sportster
Jordan don't sell yourself short, you did a great job with the wiring.
re the brake fluid, dot 5 is silicone, doesn't absorb water which is good, but it needs rubbers which are designed for it. Sometimes old seals, which swell in dot 3 or 4 , will start leaking if dot 5 is used.
Dot 5.1 is some hybrid which is backward compatible with dot 3 or 4 . . i'm not sure, its composition might depend on the brand. It's usually too dear to bother with!!
The brake caliper is fine stopping while moving forward however moving backwards is a problem.
Band-Aids are much better than the open wounds you encountered! Much cleaner and safer.
Sweet Sissy bar like it alot
He should be looking into a new wiring harness for that bike if it’s that screwed up that looked pretty horrible
Hey man, not too far from you…. Chatted a bit at the rolling thunder event…. Work from home, if ya ever want to lunch ride or anything….
👊🍻
Was this bike used for track days in the past. With all of the removed electronics and the wired nuts leads new to that question
This bike no, but word is the previous owner did race other bikes.
That issue with the rear caliper is insane! Can't believe he had no issues but glad it didn't cause any major incidents
Is the brake bleeder lower than the high spot of the brake caliper> Not good for bleeding the brakes of air.
Factory calipers, never heard or had any problems 🤷
What is the significance of the star?
Motorcycle lifts plz !!!!!!
I’d like to, but I use my garage for a lot! It’s only a 20x20 and I work on cars, carpentry, and sometimes just storage.
@@JordanRay just one then
@JordanRay easy to push aside
@@JordanRay harbor freight easy one to use
Bet this Sportster would be turned into a great wood splitter.
Holy caliper batman 🫨. Dude should play the, PowerBar lol. Nice sissy bar. Good vid
