  • In this video, get a glimpse of a 1981 FX that needs transmission work. I’ll be diagnosing the bike to see what else might need work and we’ll capture footage for the next videos.
    Main video is phase 2 of the 1949 Harley Davidson Servi-Car restoration. I’ll be disassembling the shaft, coil shocks, subframe, & the blown shock absorbers. Enjoy, please Subscribe, Turn ON post Notifications & Kickstart that Like button. Also let me know what you think by commenting below!

    Hay just a heads up. Your going to have to locate a macanical brake wheel puller . Or you'll never get those wheels broke free of the long keyed taper on the axles . I sprayed and heated mine for 2 years before I learned that heard fact . The hubs have a fine thread that the puller screws on too .without that tool it's impossible to get them off . You don't want to bend those hub flanges because servi car hubs are not reproduced, and are rarer then hens teeth These days. Good luck .

      @patrickmuraszewski3606 Před rokem

      @Hobson's Choice Harleys I think that might be a tall order. Mine is home made based on a factory tool they haven't used since 57 . Only thing I can think of is Throttle Masters in Chicago or 45 restoration
      Otherwise will have to work out some way for you to borrow mine .

    Don't think that bracket on the front crossbar does anything, have the same one on my '46 Servi.
    As far as the tapered rear wheels...they can be one. Bought the puller recommended (junk) return. Made one...no go. One of my dads old riding buddies stopped by, get me a large mallet he says. He wacks the tire and the wheel falls right off. Guess some day I'll be that old guy.
    Great channel.

      @Frank Further I've never heard of that Willis/Harley thing .if that is true it would have to be later hydraulic brakes 57 to 73 . I believe Machanical brakes have not been used on cars since the model T in the 20s . Servi cars have a 14 inch drum that barely stops it much less a jeep or a car .
