Great video buddy, being an ex-mechanic myself, you did very good explaining all steps clearly! Little trick, you take a sheet of paper, or a piece of cardbox, and roll it onto itself, and make yourself an emergency funnel! Even a cookware silicone thing can do the trick, and dosent take any space while on a big trip, nice to have in a tool kit! Have a beautiful day my friend!😎👌✌
The paper I had in the garage I used to print the 2 service manual pages 😂 I’ve used that trick before though. Works like a charm. I just grabbed what I had closest. The silicone cookware sheet is an interesting idea! I may throw one in my saddlebags for my ride to Sturgis just as a little addition to the tool kit.
Check the oil, yes. Changing the oil - Indian is easier. Harley is a pain in the butt by comparison because of having to take off that whole derby cover.
@ketchupallen84 thank you! And yes, I can do better than just tell you - I’ve got a whole video on it. It’s the saddlemen explorer LS seat with rider backrest. Linked it below for you👇🏻 The sissy bar on the other hand is from Viking Bags (same company as my saddlebags). My recommendation is have a shop put it on for you unless you have a motorcycle lift. Without a lift it’s difficult to work on anything around the rear fender strut bolts on the sportsters. With a lift it’s about a 10-minute job. Hope that helps!

They are from Viking Saddlebags. The specific model is Raven Lamellar Leather Covered Saddlebags with shock cutout. I actually filmed part of a video doing a full review of them, and how much they can hold, yesterday afternoon! I’m hoping to have that video up this coming Friday or the Friday after, if you’re interested. Thanks for watching ✌🏻If you have any more questions about them feel free to ask me. Happy to help.
Viking hard-shell lamellar leather covered ‘raven’ bags. It’s a mouthful 😂 whole review video on them on my channel. Short version: they’re locking, look good, work GREAT!

I completely disagree with the use of Loctite on the threads, why would you do that? I could understand using a thread sealer, which Loctite also makes or Permatex, but not a thread locker

Good vlog, checking the oil level on your HD looked easier then checking it on my Indian CV.

Nice work on the video. Could you please share with me what brand seat you have there including the back rest for driver and passenger sissy bar

Where did you get that skull cap on the side?
I ordered this from Harley when I was working on building my 883 - 1275 project. I think they should still have them.
Wiring for 1999 883 Harly Davidson
