While I was riding through Arizona many years ago on 66, I stopped at a tourist spot in what I think was Valentine. It was a souvenir shop/gas station that was restored with a lot of old signage from back in the day. They had a couple of restored old cars and trucks outside as well. It was a cool place in the middle of nowhere, as I recall.
Yep there are a few places like that and they are in the middle of nowhere. But good places to stop to take a break and see things you don't see anymore. That was the Hackberry General Store we stopped at in Hackberry. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching. Ride safe
@@tinkeringwithharleys - Arizona is a cool State with lots of different geography. Williams, Grand Canyon, Flagstaff, Sedona, Tucson, etc. are all nice areas.
This was a hard winter by Arizona standards. I've never seen this much rain and snow here. From September to June is when I do all my riding, but just couldn't do it this year. So it's been really good getting out on a regular basis again.
My friends back east told me it was a mild winter there. I got you're winter and you guys got mine. The problem here is when it snows they don't have the equipment to remove it so they shut the roads down and when we get as much rain as we did there's no drainage so everything floods.
Yes, so I started following you about a month or so ago and I’m just curious how hard it is to put on a set of 18 inch ape hangers on a 99 electric glide classic
If you wouldn’t mind maybe breaking it down in steps sir because everywhere I’ve called around they want to charge me 1,500 bucks to put my handlebars on
Thanks for the question and thanks for following the channel. Installing apes isn't hard but more involved than people think. The first thing you need to do is remove the gas tank so you can access the wiring harness and throttle cables. If you're new bars are pre wired it's a little bit easier than it's just plug and play, if not you'll have to wire it yourself. The wiring for the bars has 2 harness one on the left side and one on the right side under the tank. They need to be plug in so all the controls on the bars work directionals, high low beam, horn, start switch etc. If you have pre wired like I said it's plug and play under the tank, and if the new bars are wired with new switches again plug and play. If not you'll need to rewire all the switches. Also if you have to rewire the bars the easiest way to pull the wires down through the bars is to tape the end of the wires together and tie a string to the end and start the string down through the top of the bars, than take a vacuum cleaner and suck the string down through the bars at the bottom of the bars, once you have the string pulled down you can gently pull the wires down through the bars. After all the rewiring is done you'll need to put the new throttle cables on and the new clutch cable. For the clutch cable you'll need to drain the trans oil. Remove the clutch actuator cover and remove the old cable from the ramp and install the new cable. Once all the wiring is done and cables are replaced you can put the tank back on and you'll be ready to go. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.
