As a 53 year old self-taught mechanic who started working on Harley-Davidson motorcycles shortly after turning 17 y/o, with over 100 Harleys worked on since 1987. I've created this channel to share my successes, failures, and experiences in owning, repairing, buying, selling, disassembling, assembling, restoring motorcycles and parts to support others who are thinking of getting into Harley-Davidson motorcycles. I'm engrossed, obsessed & captivated on fixing vintage Harleys as much as I can get my hands on them. So expect to see a lot of content about Harleys or parts of 'em uploaded to my channel.

Working on the '65 Panhead Wiring
zhlédnutí 744Před 11 měsíci
In this video, I start working on the wiring on this newly acquired 1965 Hi Fi Blue Panhead. She’s 99% bone stock, there’s quite a few telltale signs that says she is. She sat in a garage for a year, needs very little work and there’s not much customizing I wanna do with her as I’d like to keep her as stock as possible. Which is quite a different approach to how I’m used to as I have never acqu...

What was the problem stuck in first gear mine is stuck
My transmission is stuck in gear could the forks be broken
@@josephmcglynn320 Absolutely could be forks, I find with the rotary top usually it’s the rotary top shaft that usually gets problems, but you’re gonna have to pull the top off to see what’s going on either way
So how would I know if I have a stroker motor is there a way
I believe that is a transmission mount bracket
Glad everything worked out for you. Stay humble and thankful.
Where you located man
@@matthewhudson8524 Albuquerque

When I tighten my comp nut to spec I can't get it to roll over.
Great tip on marking with a sharpie when you can’t see the woodruff key. Genius! 👍
Great tips and tricks. “Sometimes it’s better to back off and take a breath. Wisdom! 👍Nice camera work and editing too.
Great explanation as you progressed. 👍👍

Awesome my Friend!!!
Keep an eye on that Invader! I had a 5-spoke set on an Ironhead, some years back. Heading home on the highway, my front tire went flat! That was an interesting ride, trying to get to the right shoulder, while the bike was pulling me left, all the while cars are zooming by! Not 10 minutes later, some guy in a pickup truck, pulled over, loaded me up and got me home. On closer inspection, I discovered one of the spokes at the weld, worked it's way off the rim and was slowly working it's way thru the inner tube! Invaders look good, but to this day, the sight of them makes me cringe....
Glad you’re OK, yeah, the invaders do have their cons
Love your bike and what you’re doing, but the camera constantly jumping around makes it impossible to watch
Then don’t watch !! Simple
Do you have are reverse gear?
The servicar is three forward and a reverse
Is it a good boy beginner bike if you rode dirt bike as a teenager?
Cool serve car
It was a fun machine and I enjoyed it for over a year. I actually traded it for a 59 pan head.
As a laced wheel guy I find those Invaders to be quite pretty, and the Springer looks sturdy (from here) and also quite attractive.
Thank you sir! Appreciate you watching
@@HobsonsChoiceHarleys in your stash of spare parts would you happen to have a funcional oil cooler for our 78 FLH?
@@thomasborger6548 yeah I’ve got a couple of them they’re the old-school Lockhart Shovelhead style
@@HobsonsChoiceHarleys exactly what I'm looking for. I'm on the road the rest of the day, I'll catch up with you tonight or tomorrow!
