Great content, this is the best video on these pipes. I have bought these pipes and looking forward to fitting them. what's your long term view on them?
A few rust spots at the bottom leading edge of the 'bottle' I dint care enough to clean the mud off , still on the bike ,still good ,a bit louder now that it ran abt 30,000kms
I've got an 82 low rider front hub that I was trying to lace to 19" rim. It didn't have a hub when I got it, so, I had no reference. The service manual is really confusing on lacing this wheel. I'll have to re-read it now to see if it makes more sense. This video was a big help.
+ I checked now & it comes in 2 variants of stainless steel and mild steel chrome. I think yours pair are mild steel, so any rusting issues you witnessed over time?
I had a Kawasaki 650 from 1979 once, on this you also had to take of the cams because the shims where under a bucket, but it was easy to do in place, and there was only two camshafts in all, even though there where 4 cylinders. you didn't have to worry about coollant lines, fuel lines, frame dismantling and jacks, special tools... the list goes on.
This is insane!! I thought about one of these bikes, they are not that expensive here in DK, and i think they are cool. Now: I would NEVER touch one of these bikes. Probably couldn't find anyone to do that insane procedure, even if i could afford it.
If you could get the idle low enough on the Revolution engine it would sound very similar. The 60 deg Revolution engine also uses a single crank pin. But I’m going with Evo or shovel.
Harley-Davidson V-Rods are so exciting! The V-rod engine is a works racer machine for the start dash, and a Porsche for high rotation! The V-rod engine is a direct descendant of the works machine VR1000! It's a great motorcycle👍
This video was reminiscent of the 80's sex ed videos many were subjected to, super corny, maybe a little uncomfortable at times to watch, but chock full of information. I am working on a 75 Ironhead bobber project and using 16" rims front and back. I was having a devil of a time relacing the rims, partly because I didn't take reference shots before I tore them down, and it had been months between teardown, paint, and relace. As it turns out I have an A and a B style hub so as I moved onto my front rim I couldn't figure out why the pattern wasn't working (and I got lucky on the rear), now I know. Serious props to this video, if you need to lace your rims, this is the holy bible of instruction.
This has to be done every 10,000 miles? I just bout a used one with 28,000 miles and it's never been done. So I guess I need to make an appointment soon to get this costly job done?
Well i’ve had mine since 2003 it’s an anniversary edition I had it done by the dealer at 12,000 miles I know I have 76,000 miles on it, and it still runs like new. I pull it out every once in a while take it for 100 mile spin, I’ve change the oil every 2500 miles. It’s a bulletproof engine.
I have a 2004 I got new, has almost 100K miles on it, I’ve never done a valve lash adjustment or even checked it…. Belt broke after 18 yrs, Starter Solenoid broke after 20 yrs. Just tires, brake pads, change oil every 1-2k miles and flush radiator every 4, brake and clutch fluid flush every 2yrs. Runs like new every time !
hello people need help, the street and street rod 750 don't have an extra tub for the gearbox, right? and only the engine oil belongs there and should be responsible for the engine and transmission, correct?
Worstest wheel ewer.. I was happiest man on planet when ill throw them into garbage and replaces with aluminium wheels. Always riding ont the edge with that you newer know when they gonna lose and make wobling... 🤑🤑🤑
Right On X GEN! We took great pride with NO ear pieces, NO rear suspend and spokes to log 500 miles per day. All smiles, NO complaints! Service checks every 2 days or 1K mi. Don't forget your Carbon Fibre Full Fairing! NOMAD....since 65 and still burnin rubber.
Nice Video Bro .. very detailed and well explained .. QQ: Now that its been almost 2 years any feedback on rusting issues ?.. Also any issues with cops seeing this new set on the bike?
Not really just some rust at the points that got scratched while I dropped the bike once , no problems with the police but I will need to refill the glass wool as it is louder than the 1st year
