John's 2007 Twin-Cam Special Construction, Kick Start Only, Harley-Davidson

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ส.ค. 2018
  • Laidlaw's Harley-Davidson Technician John Terradot explains his Harley-Davidson Special Construction Build. This 2007 Twin-Cam was pieced together by John in a very raw way. Using "odds-and-ends parts" he created a true one-of-a-kind bobber style hard-tail. Complete with a Kick-start-only, this bike is one that only an "Old School" enthusiast can ride and operate.

    Tremendous…..Matt I like that you feature your employees at times. They are the heart and soul of any business and it is nice to see that appreciated. The subtle thing about a master mechanic is the patience and the ethical wrench on customers bikes….not only are they precious, it is critical that they are well maintained with care. This bike is sweet and I am impressed.

    Awesome but so many questions! I'll stick to 3:
    What did you do to take care of the electric kickstart timing advance?
    It's that overdrive or just the 5 speed?
    With the older f.ywheel, is it heavy enough to potatoe or still stuck at 1000? That's the one thing I don't like about my TC!

    I have been struggling with the decision making process, I have a 10 FXDB and have been trying to decide if I want to trade for another Shovel or do something similar to this. I never realized S&S made evolution style TC cases. And it's kick only,that is a major selling point for me. So as much as I would love another shovel, this is where its at, time to make a parts list and start ordering. Did this young man do any kind of build series that could be found to aid in getting the dream to become a reality!
    If in fact there is no other info on the WWW. I would appreciate any info that would assist in getting my TC the way it should be.
    Do's, Don'ts,tips ,advise and/or a swift kick in the arse.
    Gracias for the inspiration !

    I like the old style. But, I like the new style better. I used to watch a guy try for a half hour to get his old Shovelhead started. One time he went so long trying to start it that his battery went dead so he had to ask the RCMP for a boost in the Timmy's parking lot by Wal-Mart in Cold Lake, Alberta. That'd be embarrassing. So was the condition he kept his bike in. It had been his father's bike originally.
