Very nice, great bike, you don't start an Ironhead, you bring them to life. Nicest Ironhead I have seen. The 74 is my favoriter year, last year of the shift on the right and a 74 Ironhead was the first Harley I ever rode back in 1980.
@Kenny H If you are old enough to call them inserts then you are old enough to be fooled by "common sense" or what you believe to be right even with no quantifiable evidence. The problem with extremely low idles is the time spent on the compression stroke causes an excessive amount of crankcase pressure and an excessive amount of bearing loading which leads to excessive wear and oil breakdown. It doesn't matter what type of bearing is used, the problem is one that will kill an engine regardless.
Reluctant Gearhead .. I try to be a grown up these days that is rare , people don't care and that's it. I have been building bikes for over three decades , I have my likes and dislikes some people can't handle that well that is fine , I build bikes not peoples egos. Nice machine however I would have done a couple things a little different not a big deal. Like Mario at CCI would tell me ; ride what you like ! at that time I was a supervisor there I handled more H-D parts than most people will see in a lifetime. Take care. J-D
Why do they put those crotch-rocket tires on Harley's these days ...makes Me feel sorry for the machine. by the way the whole (Ironhead ) thing is so gay ..it's just a normal Sportster . not a pile of crap New one. j-d.
Is Panhead gay? What about shovelhead? How about knucklehead? If you haven't figured it out yet, it's just a way to identify what engine came on it. Don't cry little buddy. It'll be ok.
@@thereluctantgearhead4544 You most likely was still running around with a poopy diaper when I first rode a REAL V-twin or was not even born yet , don't worry little girl no one will know the truth about you. don't you cry little girl mommy has a fresh diaper for you.
