Wow Mike look at all your views man. Been watching for years love you man. Ride free, Panheads heck yeah

And then can you sand the edge of the fins to get that silver tipped look?

Hello Mike! I’m once again seeking for your mechanical wisdom 😂 I have done a full top end job on my 98 Electra. All stock motor, no performance upgrades. I have only ridden about 50 miles since. She seems to struggle at low RPM, not idling very smooth. And when I go to take off, she just feels empty? If that makes sense. What jet size would you recommend? I purchased a kit with multiple sizes. And I live down in Florida.

You are brilliant! Thanks from Norway:)

I have this bike, in an 03. Nice to see all the familiar parts to mine. I needed this video. Well done. You sir, know your shit. Wish you were in pennsylvania.

What is your thoughts on solid lifters for a Shovelhead

Hard to find anybody knowledgeable on a Shovelhead my Rocker Box are making a tremendous noise they are on S&S heads suggestions

Hi Mike , while checking over my 1973 fl chopper I noticed the springclip on the rear chain whas missing I put on a used one I found , it snapped on tight , but there is free play as if its to thin ? Is this oke ? Thanks so far for all the thinks you learned me ...Fred (Netherlands)

Hi, Mike. Please help me. I have a brand new outer and inner rings, they correspond to the dimensions specified in the manual. do I need to do lapping? I just want to install a bearing of the right diameter without lapping. can I do this without lapping?

What kind of compensator is that

👍

Perfect video. Thank u man

Great videos . can't wait to see it fire up .love the heel rest your gonna make. Truly custom. Killer looking pan. PANHEADS FOREVER.

Hi I have a silly question 😁could you tell me shovel head pan head and the evo engine all those engine's cylinder head angle degrees are same or each engine type got unique angle degree?

Great Videos… you show everything needed for a normal Joe to learn something. Thank you. Heres a question, I have both of my Forks off after installing the seals and they’re ready to reinstall, I noticed you tightened the fork back down without the wheel back on, how do you know its aligned correctly, and how do you align it easily after having them both off? I see some videos about this online, however nobody explains things as thorough in my opinion as you do. I appreciate your time and excellent step by step instruction. Keep them coming 👍🏼

Great video as usual Mike, I’ve just fitted an SU to our Shovelhead, one of the best change’s I’ve made. The Super E was ok but it’s not in the same stable as the SU. I love it. Do you happen to know what needle and spring you’re using in yours? Many thanks for ALL your videos Mike.

Not saying I aint stoned or anything but looking at ua-cam.com/video/PWcT_Q33QP0/v-deo.html I swear your spark plugs are on the wrong side of the motor. This is usually when the bartender cuts me off for saying AMF were the good years.

The so called flu shot was probably one of the new mrna poisons similar to the covid shot. I'm sorry to say, but your so called doctor has probably irretrievably poisoned you.

When prepping the lifter blocks I inspect the counterbores to assure that there are no flares or flash from the bottom of the counterbore seat into the hole caused by the head of SHCS (bolts) that might intefere with the alignmen tools (tapered shank). Simply match drilling from the back side witl a drill of the exact same size will correct this if needed. I have seen these holes with obstructions in both the steel and alum lifter blocks. Cheers to all.

A hears a pick of the 91 soft tale custom that is on top tune

For those of us who haven't done a thousand of those, torque specs would've been useful.... Also, are those bolts getting loctite or some equivalent?

A mike the 91 soft tale custom is on dead nut top tune and crome polished to a luster

Mike is it a dum idea to rid my bike from Oklahoma to long Beach cal wear I was born to tack cear of a little infraction jail so I can go to work driving a big truck yours senserley Kenneth William cole 🎉

Big help just going to do mine this morning.

Any recommended oil for the air filter? 80 weight? WD40? Thanks again.

This has helped me a lot. I have never worked on a harley up until now, i am working on getting my dads 1975 sportster back on the road for him to ride it, this video has helped me tremendously. thank you mike

Nice to meet you. I always appreciate your advice. What is the appropriate clearance between the manifold and the head?

Did you know that if you set playback speed to 1.25 Mike doesn't sound so sleepy😅

How do I get in touch with you to do some work for me

Excellent video but.... I am new to this, and thought I knew which sprocket you were talking about until you mentioned 2 others - then I got confused. Maybe a quick diagram next time for those of us with 0 years experience. Great info, just over my head....

As you said, you made it seem easy! Great information. Thanks for the video!

Any oil recommendations for 1940's 45 WL? The manual specs 20 to 50 single weighs based on temperature. I would think that 20W-50 synthetic would do the job. Maybe add a zinc additive? I was told that some old timer ran straight 60 weight in the engine and gear box............Thanks again.

Nice!🤙

Gas range? 20 miles...?

Thanks for the videos, getting my '79 FXS80 back together. Have referenced your videos frequently.

your disposition rubbed off on me, relax and enjoy it.... I think that's my new MO, thanks.

I chopper wired my 95 sportster put points in it sparkplug has fire but won't start do u use the mark or the advance timing mark to set static timing and which lobe small one ore big one it's electric

On another topic, any recommended tire pressures for a 1940's WL? The old manual gave 12--14psi, but those were very different tires with tubes. The modern tires on modern bikes run in the 30's psi. So, old bike + modern tires = ?? (5.5 and 6" Dunlop MT90B16 74H's) Thanks.

Just rebuilt my M88 mod M 1 1/4". Thanks for the great video's! It has a high speed needle. Which video show a high speed adjustment? Thanks Again. Jon, 1940's WL.

I really enjoyed this series, Mike. As I mentioned in a comment some time ago, I wanted to install a mousetrap on my '72 FLH because, these old hands have been around the block a few times, and the idea of one-finger clutch is something I thought would be denied me because my bike was too new. Thanks to the suppliers you recommended, I've been slowly collecting the parts and now, I've seen a bike with the electric-start primary and newer style oil tank & battery box sitting on your stand with a mousetrap installed, so I know I can make it happen on mine. I was also having trouble finding a rear exhaust header that would fit around my kick starter, but those fellas with the mousetrap parts, they had that too. I picked-up a copy of the service manual you''re using as well. It's a shame all the manuals couldn't be as well put together as that one is. Thanks again for producing these videos. They're quite helpful, especially the little extras you do to make things better.

Hi Mike, Thanks for all the content. Love your videos, really helpful. Can I ask you a questions please. I ride a 1981 FXWG completely stock and very clean bike. But have been offered a trade on a similarly immaculate 1956 Panhead. I wonder if there would be a world of difference in the amount of care and maintenance the Pan would require over my Shovel?

Such a nice setup. I love the sound of that release plate slamming into the clutch plates to lock it up.

Torque rocker arm shaft locknut to 12 - 18 ft-lbs per the 1978 1/2 to 1984 service manual. The 70 - 77 manual (page 1-2B) specifies 15 ft-lbs for 'rocker arm housing nut' and contains a table for other hardware based on diameter and grade designation. I torque to 12 - 18 ft-lbs and use a SMALL amount of plumber's putty around the nut, which has been pretty effective for preventing weeping when driving across S. Dakota on I-90.

Why would anyone change it over from a compensating sprocket to a solid sprocket? I know what compensating sprockets are, and kind of how they work, but to me they're "Harley Magic". My father said that it's for the differential force between the force the motor is supplying and the force that can be taken by the transmission/rear tire. He ACTUALLY said that 'it's for when you've got it tached way up doing a burnout, and the rear tire finally catches that it grabs at the compensator instead of on the body of the transmission or your bottom end/cases."

Love your channel Mike thank you

i love those oil tanks, so easy to change the oil. when i first got my '71 over 30 years ago, the tank hadn't been cleaned out in a while so i douched it with gasoline to get it sparkling on the inside

Merci 👌👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

That Roger Ramjet retainer was the best upgrade for that dry clutch IMO. I do want to clarify some comments I made earlier about the booster clutch. I had one on my 58, never had a problem with it. Haven't worked on the old iron for a while so when you said mousetrap I heard foot clutch, hand shift. Went cross country with 3 other buddies running jap bikes in the late 60's to Idaho. I can remember adjusting my primary in the gravel and goatheads with a flashlight in my teeth while they sat around drinking beer and complaining what a tough day it was. I do take comfort in the knowledge that my bike was the last to break down. Needing a set of brushes in Red Lodge MT. 2 of the 3 had Harleys by the end of the year, not old ones like mine but new cone motors. Later.

Thanks Mike I have Mouse trap on my 48 FL with your videos.
