1972 XL Ironhead Bobber  

Thanks for the info. I adjusted my 75 sportster the same way and seems a fairly straight forward process. I even tried adjusting as described in the manual but my clutch just wont work. I wound the adjuster screw in until it seated and wound it back 1/4 turn and locked it off. I adjusted the cable with a little slack not tight so the ball bearings are correctly seated. Doesn't matter how many ways I try my clutch just wont disengage like it should when I pull the lever. Any suggestions on what I should be looking for ?

Thanks for taking the time to make this, just got a 74. Learning all I can. If these haters know everything why the hell are they watching how to vids?

Thanks for the videos. There very helpful for someone starting out and I like watching them. And you know your shit...lol

Did mine today without a video. I kinda knew what to expect and after watching this video. Yeah that's about what I did. Thanks for the video

Great clutch and primary assembly video👍

Could you post the link where you got the parts for Barnet clutch

Thank you for posting this, learned a bit for putting my 72 sportster back on the road while doing more myself this time around and not being a mechanic this helps!

How do you remove the hub nut on a 69xlch without a air wrench? I need to replace the kicker assembly

Hi , I have a 1976 bicentennial ironhead, the clutch basket is oval for this reason I have to leave the chain sluggish and it makes noise. Can you tell me if I can solve it by buying a used clutch basket? or are they all oval after a few years? Thank you

i need my 71 iron head worked on ... where are you located?

I know Keenan is busy moving so I'll ask everyone this question. With this style clutch, If the adjustment screw and nut were removed all the way from the primary cover ( while the cover is attached to the engine) is it possible for the bearings to fall out of the ramp assembly ? It they can fall out, is it a certainty that they would fall out ? Is it possible that maybe they wouldn't fall out if the adjustment screw and nut were completely backed out of the primary cover ? Im sure its easy to guess why im asking this question. I did manage to get the adjustment screw and nut reinstalled. Clutch releases and engages by squeezing the clutch hand lever. It just dont feel like it seems it should.

what is the name of the goop tube you used to hold gasket? You talk fast and low and I couldn't catch the name when you said it.

What is the gasket sealant used? I couldn’t make out what he called it.

Thank you for the vid. As I am letting my clutch out when it starts to engage I feel a small buzzing or grinding at the last second if releasing the clutch. Do you know what that my be?

keep up the good work great source of info...any idea on this my 72 xlch1000 jack it up turn rear wheel can select all gears feels smooth no binding,peddle travel seems a bit far between gears but managable.but start the bike select 1st take off an suddenly peddle travels huge between gears they still select but can not get gear without lifting your whole leg as they about 4inches travel between each one.turn it off an peddle travels back to managable,iv adjusted clutch numerous times (no slip or drag) and the gear linkage distance (fitted with forwards) makes no difference..gear box prob or clutch any1 ??

I'm guessing it's safe and or easier to use a impact when changing out a new primary chain

What ever. Happened. To. That. Guy.

What is the sealant used on the primary cover?

👍

Would just like to add ,,that little thing is referred to as ," Ball and Ramp," ,,,I think, I could be wrong.....

What spacers should I use and where can I get a set

Welding on the case without first heating it up in a oven to get rid of the oils and junk the case has isn't the right way to weld on that case. Weld won't last . and cracking a customer's case has to be the worst . and throwing clutch parts on metal and installing parts that have broken studs to go into a clutch . if this was done to my bike I think u would be paying a shop that takes pride in there work instead of this getto type work..
