Rebuilding and Riding my 1973 Harley Davidson Ironhead sportster for the first time.
I lost a lot of footage for this series due to multiple computer crashes, so put together what I had to make this quick video.
I plan to do a lot of adventures on this bike, so if you'd like to see some of those, or you have some suggestions, let me know down in the comments.

It was a pleasure getting this back on the road for ya mate

@@thomashutchinson693 I like to think it was a team effort, but you’re 100% the star player scoring all the points, and I cut the oranges for the bench…

respect to you mate,getting to know your bike by working on it,not just some harley poesur but a true enthussiast,good on ya ,gruff england.

@@garethlipyeart6520 thanks mate appreciate that! I think if you’re going to own and ride a bike like this you have to know how to work on it, because more then likely you’ll be forced to work on it on the side of the road so that you can make it home haha

Building trust with crusty old bikes takes time. Looking forward to seeing you take it on a bigger trip.

@EasyDoesitmoto Месяц назад

@@RoadsOfOz I’ve had this bike for a couple of years now and there hasn’t been enough trouble free rides for me to want to even consider a trip. But I think/hope she’s at that point now haha

I love the old Ironheads, started on one. The AMF years were notoriously bad for QC and H-D in general. Well done Gentleman. BTW, when starting an Ironhead it’s best to kick 3 times with the ignition off to Prime it then turn the ignition on and they usually start on 1 or 2 kicks. Great choice of music too!

@EasyDoesitmoto Месяц назад

@@cavscout62 thanks for the tips mate! Have since worked out a decent starting sequence to get it going pretty easily, and the prime kicks are key 👌🏼

@whatsstefon 14 дней назад

Nice build. It’s a shovel. Adventures abound. Looking forward to seeing them.

@EasyDoesitmoto 14 дней назад

@@whatsstefon not a shovelhead, it’s an Ironhead, from the same era though

@whatsstefon 14 дней назад

@@EasyDoesitmotoah. The rocker boxes are near identical. I forgot that the bigger Harley’s had alloy heads and the sporty still used cast iron.

@EasyDoesitmoto 14 дней назад

@@whatsstefon yeah the rocker boxes do look quite similar, the way I tell the difference at a glance is the push rods. The Ironheads have 4 cams so the push rods come up at a straight angle, where the shovel heads start tighter at the bottom end and fan out towards the head. Also these are a unit construction where the shovels and all the big twins are pre unit

@whatsstefon 14 дней назад

@@EasyDoesitmoto yeah, the sporty engine has generally always been quad cam. Where as the bigger HD motors have been single or twin cam.

Nice, classic look Ironhead. That rear brake is worthless and should not be considered the single source of stopping power.
