You can reuse cometic gaskets on certain covers a couple times if you’re careful. I only reuse the outer most gaskets (clutch, primary, & Derby cover) because the tourqe/ heat is marginal and won’t deform the gasket. Top cover it one use, always sticks. Camchest, one use, gets warm. Same with oil pan. Live on the edge a little
After I bought my car I was trying to figure out why it got better gas mileage in all other states and countries than it did in California, then I found out it was their extra emissions crap that had no busiess being on the car. Removed it all, better gas mileage. Is it malice or stupidity?
Been pumping these brakes and bleeding for a hot minute now. Still squishy as fuck and haven't had any bubbles in about 5 cycles. I assume I'm at the point of leaving it overnight?
Why would you want to relocate the coil? Just leave it where it's at or replace it with an Accel coil (More gooder juice). Now take the old horn off along with the bracket and chuck it as far as you can into the swamp. Then go find yourself an old Harley Service Car and take that horn and mount it to the frame above the oil filter on the Wide Glide. Can't see it and it sounds great! Good luck and Happy Motoring!
I admire these guys. This is something I would love to do…but…I have a bad back after buying my bike I learned I can barely ride for 1 hour before I have to lay down somewhere the pain is so bad. Anyway I felt…in a way…like I took this trip with them. Thanks for sharing.
I was told I could swap my left lower fork on my 95 fatboy with a newer 2000-05 lower and use the bigger caliper with that and it would be significantly better and cheaper has anyone else done this?
It's a good idea. I can only imagine how bad a single disc with standard pads would be. GG rated pads on twin disc 1450 when I got it. No wonder the last guy sold it.
Thank you for the detailed instructions. I have a 2001 Dyna wide glide and I’m looking to do the same thing. I have bars like yours but not as tall. Do you think it will look the same? Trying to attach a photo…Following up, can’t attach a photo but my bars are like 10” Angeles back at 8”
I bought a fat bob 2008 with dual rotors on front. They will stop you on a dime. I use the back to slow me down and stop with the front and finish with the rear. I consider my back brake my Jake brake because it just holds you back but doesn’t stop you completely unless the front brake is used 😂
I have a 05 CBR 600RR and a 08 Low Rider, the Takiko calipers on the CBR are far superior than the Brembo's on the low rider, in fact my rear caliper seized on the low rider once before a rebuild and about 2 years later after a rebuild. I switched to after market calipers, it's been 8 years with no issues.
I just seen this video, and honestly guys the smile it put on my face whilst thinking about my old friends in the uk, my brother that just past 2 years ago and finding myself as I buy my first bike. man this is life. the music, the clips the friendships. I mean I did a road trip (Car) from New York, Boston, Syracuse, Toronto, Chicago, Orleans, Dallas, Vegas, Cali via the 66 which was cool as f_ _ K. but to do it with your boys on a bike is amazing. as if you found a Prada store in nowhere land lol. I'm about to buy my first bike and i hope that I get the opportunity to to do something similar on a bike. BIG Respect !! glad you all made it safe to the end and hopefully you are all keeping well.
Good video but f@@@ AN. 30% better brakes for $1000 tou better swap whole front for some GSXR with brembosnand real brakes for almost same money, when go second hand
Highway 10 across the southern coast is just a brutal ride. Straight, not much scenery, and long boring hours. It’s a longer drive than people think from NOLA to Daytona. Recognize The Famous Door and Bourbon Cowboy. Great video. Thanks for sharing.
do you zip tie the lever closed with the cap still off the master or do you close that up then zip tie and leave it. I've bled my lines but it is still spongey.
Other places are spectacular in their own right, but this is the greatest country on Earth. You can spend your whole life here and never take it all in.
I am on the eastern side of the country, I have ridden through the Appalachian mountains and done the dragon. It is all beautiful. I went to Vegas a few years back and got tired of the strip after two days. I walked from Treasure Island all the way to the Harley dealer by the airport. Their eagle rider was closed and they informed me that the main one is still open. This was another hour walk or so across the highway and into a warehouse district. By the time I got there I told the lady at the counter that I don't care what kind of bike she had, I wasn't leaving there without one. The bike I left on was a street glide. I road that thing to the Hoover dam, to Zion National park, back through Vegas, up to Pahrump, took the back roads out to California, went down through the valleys and canyons to Laguna Beach and back. There is NOTHING that can describe the beauty of the west and as Beautiful as the Smoky Mountains are they cant touch the painted desert. I long to go back, this time on my bike.
