Thank You

Thank You

Just speaking for myself, that would be a perfect world.

Thank You. Me too.

Dude that sucks

Sorry 'bout that.

Glad you enjoyed it

👍🙂

Thank you and the best to you and yours.

Our pleasure!

Thank You. Yes, I see trains as something kind of magical and a big part of our history. And they just keep going. I've gone to sleep to the sound of them in the distance or even close most of my life.

👍🙂

All of the videos are available on our channel. Just go to the homepage and click on "videos." Thank You and enjoy those projects.

@@pacificmike9501 thanks mike. I will 👍👍❄️

Thank You

Thank You. Me too.

Thank You

You and me both! Thank You.

Thank you too

Me and Johnny Cash.

👍🙂

I'll bet. Back in the day, everyone made footpegs from "rail spikes."

Glad you like it

You and me both!

Thank You

Thank You

Yep. I just keep playing with what I love most.

Thanks for watching!

👍🙂

Yes it is. The hardware store calls it a "coupling nut." Probably labeled by the brand.

@@pacificmike9501 three eights rod couplings make for a clean rear fender mount on a hard tail frame. Just cut to fit and weld, after getting measurements for fender/tire clearance.

Good idea.

Me too. Thank You

Thanks, will do!

Thank you too

Yah. We'll have a ball. Yes, it is broken antler.

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank You

Get everything caught up, then, back on the Flathead.

Thanks again!

👍🙂

Wow! Thank You.

Me too.

Well, throw another log on the fire. I wish you a warm, sunny day.

Sounds like I'd enjoy your family.

Thank You

The starter clutch on a Shovelhead is a sealed unit. I'm replacing it with a heavy duty unit. The last one I put in has been there over 20 years.

And I'll look forward to it.

👍🙂

I love all the rigids. They're really graceful.

Thank You. And the best to you.

Hope so!

Glad you like them!

I appreciate that!

👍🙂

You're welcome

Thank You. Glad to help on your adventure.

I had a girlfriend with a 66 Shovel. Her coil cover tried to hit me in the head.

@@pacificmike9501 😁 Yeah ; watch em wheel weights too - 👍👌

Thank You. But, that's a whole story in itself. I'll probably go over it quickly on the next video.

I'll be looking forward to it.

👍🙂

Ignition switch right on top the tank. Just shut it off. Thank You

If you get hit and survive, rip the plug wires off. Done it a few times!

Thank You

A lot of them are riveted together. Hook it up to the proper voltage and turn the little adjustment screw 'til it makes noise. Then dial it in and use it. The more you use it, the better it works. I honk mine when I'm in the middle of nowhere, just to keep it functioning.

@@pacificmike9501 Thanks. I had hooked to a battery and it gives a tiny noise but the adjuster is stuck. Will it be okay to put it in a sonic cleaner to loosen up?

I honestly don't know. I think getting it to dry out would be the issue.

I think you're speaking of my Shovelhead. It was a very "inexpensive" windshield I had still in the box. I thought I would experiment with it. It was a reproduction of a 70's FL unit. I put it on and started measuring. Who cares if I destroy it? It was not a big deal. So I cut 4" from the bottom of the top piece. That made it also too narrow. So I went to a shop that made "plastic stuff." I had made a template of the bottom piece and had it cut out to be the proper width. That's what completed the shape of the "curved sides." I had this made out of black, opaque plastic. I took the sliding piece from the bottom and painted it black on the back side. I got clear vinyl tubing from the hardware store, slit it and glued it on. I hacked and wacked on the brackets until they fit the whole unit and gave me quite a bit of adjustment. I brought out a big fan, lit a cigar and effectively created my own "wind tunnel." Then I adjusted it to give me the desired effect. It's part of what gives me the best ride I've ever had. There are more little details to this, but that's basically what it took.

I believe there is one shown for the Flathead when I installed the foot controls. 36-57 Big Twins are all pretty much the same.

The starter clutch normally lasts a long time on a Shovelhead. Some things just "wear out." The last one lasted over 20 years. No complaint. Just replace it. High compression hot rod motors are a little harder on them. Not really a big deal. The newer stuff takes them out oftener.

Just a piece of cardboard and a pencil. Amazing what we can do with a hacksaw, drill and my trusty belt sander.

I don't let her out of my sight. I use friends that also use me. We watch the bikes. If I have to leave my bike, with no one to watch it, It's probably time to go home. In a motel, bottom floor, probably take my bike i when I go to sleep. I buy a newspaper for the floor.

Makes sense to me.

Thank You.

Not at all. Funds and time. Needed to catch up on everything else. The Flathead is just waiting for me to catch up.

Thank You

Thank You. Need to get it done and back to my buddy.

Love it.

Thank You

Thank You.

@@pacificmike9501 -- You're welcome, Mike. Motorcycles, cars and music certainly go very well together.

Just add pretty girls and you've got it all.

@@pacificmike9501 - You said it!

Dickies, but they aren't making them anymore.

Thank You

Some like one, some the other.

Thank You.

You got me. There are many lifts on the market. Easiest way, look at them on the internet. Just Google "motorcycle lifts." They come in many different prices. I've been working on bikes, on a lift, while I sit in an adjustable height office chair for many years now. I get up when I need to, then I sit down again.

No, it is not.

I hope it is not too painful and wish you a speedy recovery.

Wow. Sorry to hear about that. I wish you a speedy recovery.

🤗🙏💪👍🙂

It really depends on your hardware store. Most oldtime hardware stores, and even some modern ones, buy and carry what their customers want. A good hardware store located in a biker neighborhood, or custom car neighborhood usually has all kinds of goodies. Just remember to use the right hardware for the job. Stainless isn't always the answer. But, there are different grades of stainless just like other hardware. Harley service manuals actually tell you what grades they use in the back of the service manual.

Yes. There are companies that make kits. I'm sure you can find them on the Internet.

@@pacificmike9501 Thank You, I'll check.

Amen.

Going over all of it. Everything tight. Tires good and inflated right. Just like anything else. Congrats. Nice motorcycle.

No, I don't do Facebook. Our RU-vid Homepage has all of our videos.

You're welcome
