the paint looks really awesome can't wait to see it with the new fender! i have to ask what is the brand of the oil cooler? it's super cool!

Pre 1984 are all high maintenance, there were several factors but a big one was sand casting to die casting .

Nice Job!!!!!

Nice. Personally not a fan of orange, but that looks really really good.

Really nice.

Im really enjoying your channel, Paul! Seems as if youve committed yourself to it, and you're doin a great job bro, take er easy 🤘

looks awsome mate good work

🤘😎🤘

Nice rattle can paint job.

Yeah, I do like the orange too. good job brother!😎👍

For the investment that’s a great result. Looks really good, love the choice to stick with orange on the bike.

the finish probably reacts with petrol so be carefull when putting fuel in it, after 15 years my clearcoat started getting cracks in it, so yeah rattlecan paint jobs is not that great

Make a template of your strut holes first , and adjust it to your new fender.

Somebody has fresh eggs

Yeah I've read stuff about that 1K and 2K NAPA store here in town sells paint.. that's where I get my pain it's a specialty paint store but it is run by Napa

Yeah that that's a good color I mean it's not Orange.. kind of a goalie Orange

Well that's why I only paint for myself I have trouble being taking my time .. I want to rush stuff unfortunately that's not what you do when you paint... Great looking paint job.... I can make make paint look like it's old.. which is good cuz I know I bugger off a good paint job

Kool 👍👍👍

I love that color. Good job!

It's AWESOME I'm sorry that I ragged you on orange a little at first. I was clearly wrong because that bike looks great !!!

Hey, it looks really good from here. It's a rider anyway, not a show bike. It's got that chopper look because you didn't put anything on the tank and no front fender. I spray bombed my '53 Buick with red oxide primer back in the day, at least it was all one color.😀😃

Looks good. Rattle can paint has come along way. The SprayMax 2 part clear coat is key. That stuff works great, and keeps the gas from eating your paint. I would have done a wet sand then a cut, buff and polish to take it to the next level. I've done a few paint jobs and f you don't go crazy with the wet sand you won't burn though the clear... just knock the shine off of it to get rid of some orange peal then take the buffer to it. Maybe on the next one you can experiment a little.

Awesome 👍

Mighty fine church and romantic occasions shirt. I’d prolly leave it on during seggs too

I started riding on an old 78 Lowrider. Now, 45 years later that bike taught me everything I have learned about working on bikes and now I ride my 2015 Wide Glide and work on all my bikes

HD sells forward controls because customers, some of them, want forward controls. It's really that simple.

Bought my 81 FLHP in 84 as a 17 yo kid. Been thru it front to back top to bottom. Still got it runs like a champ.

I prefer mid controls and forward highway pegs.

Looking at that "rib" in the new fender I don't believe your struts are going to work. I would put it between your struts and see if you are going to have to cut anything off the front of the fender to get it to line up with the struts and the radius of the tire. The holes pretty much come last

💗

Fair points. as much as I love my forwards I also agree that mids are better for control... and rough roads.

Working on the new improved skid mark removal system obviously

It is a beginner bike and very good for that. It is not a heavy fast interstate bike. The one thing i did not like it the way too soft front shocks suck.

Your a sporster guy kewl

Fixing to drink some beers and have a good time

Creating quality content

Great video and find , and its all about what you want for it and what someone is willing to pay for it ,and that is how it has always been as far as saleing and haggleing goes tune them type of comments out of mind out of site. You have a good eye for this type stuff.

I had to look up what Existential means! I had a decal on my bike that said the only time I say no is when someone asked me if I had enough!!!😊

Thank you for the vid, thank you more for showing me a parent who doesn't shun the kid into an ipad, very refreshing. Had the same issue on 98 xlc 883, choke 1/8 out removed the fart and stumble at idle after a carb rebuild, but even with mixture screw at original settings it wasn't right. Hoping i can apply the knowledge you share today and will notify

Bike has straight pipes but yeah it's the $30 Amazon tail light that's going to give them away to the cops :-)

late comment but I often zip tie my front brake lever pulled in overnight after a bleed. I find it helps get that last little bit of air up to the master

Don't take to much notice of what people say about your bike in the comments. They probably don't even own a push bike and even if they do everybody's opinions are subjective and it's really only your opinion that matters when it comes to your affairs and your motorcycle. Enjoy it and rides ride safe 😊

Secure some hosepipe on the tyre. Rest the mudguard in place and mark the holes. The hosepipe will give you an even gap around the mudguard.

Well, i cant not reference the shoes 😅😅😅 but id flatten out a soda carton and trace it

Do exactly what you said the second time don't measure off of anything get the fender where you want it then make your mark. Keep the fender where you want any way you can

I think I have seen guys put spacers equally on the rear tire to figure out a safe distance from the rear tire and the inside of the fender.

Smoking Bruce Banner?

I was thinking the same as @boxfullofbluzeg2235's comment

tricky. 🤔 eye say tracers!

A "mock up" I believe it's called.
