Back in the 90's, I replaced a five stud clutch hub and basket with I believe a "Rivera Pro clutch", using a sealed bearing hub and splined clutch plates and friction discs. It uses a "diaphragm" spring setup which has proven to be in perfect shape, no discernable wear in close to thirty years. I'll never go back.
Love the videos, Ralph, always entertaining. Awesome channel, Build it and they will come. Gus’s bike is looking awesome, he must be getting excited, will be nice to hear it fire up
Man that headlight that was in the background while you were working at the bench on the clutch. Was badass the headlight and the bracket on the springer front end. Would love to see that boy up close. You take care and ride safe.
I will try to remember to get a shot of it for you in some video. I hand made the mount, got the light off Ebay. Its pretty trick. Thanks for noticing! One of my projects that's has been on hold to long. Thanks for commenting.
Great video Ralph!!!! Coming down to the wire now almost done. I can’t wait to seeit driveway!! And I just wanna let you know I haven’t forgotten about you and your channel and giving you your shout outs- but as you know, I’ve been away from my garage on a bunch of my last few videos but now I’m back home again and I’m gonna be making videos outback again, so I’ll be able to talk about you buddy!!! And thanks again for the mention Ralph I really appreciate it. 👍🍺 SLICK
I enjoy watching you and Gus work together. Yall get a lot done. I just got home from a trip to GA with Fbomb and I'm setting down to try and catch up on what's going on lol. I'll be on the road a lot this year so I'm doing my best to keep the videos coming and watching all the channels I support. Great video and 🍻
We always have a good time Hip. It will be a busy summer for ya. Play Safe out there and have fun!! I will live precariously through you ha ha. Thanks for commenting!
Ive been binge watching your channle, i think im caught up now. Hwll i thought you were just some dude that bought a bike in the feild and was going to have a go at it. Didnt realize you are a serious builder.
@@itsmytimeletsgo i havent built a bike in 15 or so years but before that i had about 30 years in to. Im a trader, i have defected, im ridding a roadking now. Not super stoked about it but im on the short list with lung cancer, heart failure and , hey got any spare livers in that shop of yours haha. If you fould me out in a feild and decided to rebuild me ,well it couldnt be done. Thats probably why i like you content so much .i get to live vicariously though it. So thanks brother.
@@davidfellows6250 So sorry to hear of yoru conditon. My thoughts and prayers go out to you. Thank you for your kind words and gald you are enjoying my content. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
Love your channel from the UK..your advice on the S&S carb has fixed my 81 shovel the intermediate jet was too small fitted the correct 029.5 from a 028 no more coughing back thru the carb
So glad that I could be of help. It is my intention to try to pass on what little I know, hoping to help others. Thanks for commenting and letting me know where you are watching from. I always find that very interesting, The world is a smaller place all the time.
I agree T Bone. Were just "Old" school I guess. Times they are a changing, but I'm not going to. And yes she is a very nice little Shovel! Thanks for commenting.
Hey Terry. Most any independant shop, in Canada, will deal with Preston Cycle, or Mid USA. Preston only has 3 stud design, but MID USA has both 3 and 5 stud available. Perhaps Drag Specialties has them as well. Good question. Thanks
Hey sir, I am a little confused as to where I might find the information to keep my rigid frame chopper fully maintained and in top notch running order. I have a Santee straight legged frame and mounted on it is a 1994 Evo 1340 engine. The transmission is a 4 speed kick only ratchet top unit. The primary is a 2 inch open belt and a 5 stud basket with plates and steels. That unit in turn drives a 530 oring chain that drives the rear wheel. This bike is in the process of being put together now. I really need some kind of service manual for this chopper to take a lot of the guess work out of the torque specs, and fluid capacities as well as "how to do general repairs on it". What would you suggest for me to have to answer the thousands of questions that come up everyday keeping this fine old ride chugging along. and keeping break downs at a minimum? Thanks for any help! Greg
I would say a manual for 93 up Evolution and one for early shovelheads (pre 1979 for the trans). In some of my earlier videos there are a links in the description to "Emanualonline.com" for all your needs. Use this code VINTAGEHARLEYS22 for a discount before the end of the month july 31st. Hope that helps. Thanks for commenting.
Nice to be getting her done. Let us know what ya think!

I agree the Rivera clutchs are great. Just a little pricey up her, as are most things. Thanks for commenting.

Another great video. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge. Am I wrong to be wanting to see the big rollers installed with assembly lube?
Thanks. I used the supplied assembly lube to install (18:32) . You might have missed it. Thanks for commenting.
Nice video, Ralph. Is it just me, or was that tire shredded a little on the left side and left middle?
You are right Ed. The fender was rubbing on it as bolts were sticking out to far. Fixed now. Its old. Good eye. Thanks for commenting.
Shame we live in a world where the hand shake and your word was your bond seems to be gone now... Gonna be a nice ride when finished!!!!!

Hey Ralph, could you give a link to the ramjet retainer and bearings you use. Thanks man 🤘

What the hell happened to the FENDER
One slip and stuff happens. I think he plans on a paint upgrade. Still needs some rear fender work adjustments etc. Thanks for commenting.
