Biketoberfest 2021 - Full Throttle Boardwalk Bike Show Daytona Beach
Just some clips from the Full Throttle Bike Show on the Daytona Beach Boardwalk and a short walk down Main Street during Biketoberfest 2021. The show seemed a little smaller this year. Still some great bikes.

Just some clips from The Chopper Time Old School Chopper Show at Willie's Tropical Tattoo in Ormond Beach during Bikertoberfest 2021. Weather was awesome and so were the bikes. As in years past some great bikes in the show and in the parking lots. Knuckleheads, Flatheads, Panheads, Shovelheads, a few Evos, and some nice Sportsters! There was this red Ironhead Sportster in the parking lot that r...
How to Install the HogWorkz Lower Fairings on a 2014 Harley Davidson Street Glide
Переглядів 2,7 тис.3 роки тому
Installing the HogWorkz Denim Black Lower Fairing Kit on my 2014 Harley Davidson Street Glide. Pretty easy, took about 20 minutes for each side (video is pretty much real time for installing the right side lower fairing), and they look nice. The only think I don't really like is the snaps for the glove box covers, check the video for why (I'll be replacing the plastic snaps in the very near fut...
Relocating the Front Turn Signals on a Harley Davidson Sportster

Relocating the turn signals on Cory's 2001 Harley Davidson Sportster. Moving the front turn signals from where they mount on the bars to the lower clamp on the triple tree using Harley Davidson's relocation kit 68517-94A. We had plenty length on the wiring so we did not need to cut or splice anything. Good afternoon project in the garage. The relocated turn signals look great. Harley Davidson F...

Changing the Engine and Primary/Transmission Oil on Cory's 2001 Harley Davidson 1200 Sportster. Unlike a big twin the Sportster is only a 2 hole change, the primary and transmission share the same oil. Cory also replaced the derby cover on the primary with one he picked up online from Sporty Mob. Ready to ride for another few thousand miles. I know I kept calling the derby cover and gasket the ...
Metal Etching on a Harley Davidson Sportster Ignition Timing Cover
Переглядів 2733 роки тому
A little arts and crafts project on the Sportster. The 1988 Swedish Style Sportster has a Maltese Cross cut in the top motor mount. I made an aluminum side cover and etched a Maltese Cross in it to match the one on the motor mount. In this video I am using the same process to etch a Maltese Cross into the ignition timing cover. A blog post about the side cover etching is here: www.sportsterproj...

The Sportster is getting a set of rabbit ear bars. The current bars on the Swedish Style Sportster are OK, they were just some I had but I don't really like the pull back on them. I got a good deal on this set of rabbit ear bars at the Peanut City Chop and Swap a couple weekends ago so they are going to replace the ones that are on there now. Pretty easy to change them out since I am just swapp...

I picked up this 1999 Harley Davidson Dyna Wide Glide FXDWG a few weeks ago. Great bike, well kept, and low miles but it had been sitting a good while. The bike would not start with out a jump and the battery will not hold a charge. In this video I am installing a new battery and a NOCO X-Connect cable so it can be easily attached to the NOCO tenders I use. Twin Power Maintenance Free AGM Batte...
Removing the Fuel Pump from a Honda Shadow VT750 ACE

Removing the fuel pump to simplify the fuel delivery system on a my wife's 1999 Honda Shadow VT750 ACE. The new TJ Brutal Customs peanut gas tank raises the fuel petcock well above the carburetors which will allow fuel to be gravity fed. Since the fuel pump is no longer needed it is getting DELETED! There is no filter screen in the tank or on the petcock so I added an in-line fuel filter to hel...

The front forks were leaking on the 1990 Sportster, enough that there was a puddle of fork oil on the lift. In this video I walk through removing, disassembling, and rebuilding the 39mm front forks on my Harley Davidson Sportster. To rebuild the forks the fork seals, dust covers, fork seal retaining clips, o-rings, and damper bolts will be replaced. I am rebuilding these forks due to them leaki...

This is a quick one. There is not a lot of room between the cylinders and manifold to get at the bolts on the intake manifold.

A 1/4" hex key and a 1/4" wrench makes installing or removing the intake manifold bolts easy and quick. 1986-2003 Sportster Repair Manual: amzn.t...

Just what I needed to see! Thanks so much!
Great video. What size PVC for seal driver? Thank you
Im a little confused as to what wires you have running to the battery and then where are you connecting them to ?
You said you liked that battery because it did not need a spacer on the terminal... Then, in the next sentence, you talked about installing a spacer on the terminal...! So, what is the deal? Spacer or no spacer??? Plus, the camera did not show what you were actually doing...! What is the explanation???
I have the same bike! What rear fender kit did you use? Please and thanks!
it's my first time doing the seals. how long did it take you?
Obrigado pelo vídeo .
Help! Mature female trying my 1st time. Better shots of the parts and where they go would really be helpful. But thank you very much for this
Does Va have classic tags for bikes ?
This is awesome, thanks dude
Recently purchased a 2002 Honda shadow areo….having problems with not running very good….whats your suggestions on could be problems"……thanks for your time
Thanks!! Just did my '03.
Very clever idea! Thanks for the video!
Could you message me some more information on setting the voes switches so I can be sure I'm doing it correctly
This is what I was thinking about doing. Thanks
Thanks for the vid, but bro can you not say ummm so many times.
your the man
Must be some kind of wiring god 😊
Break the top cap loose and knock the dust cover loose before removing the fork from the triple trees. Good video.
Mines is broken… how’d you get it to work real horrorshow like that?
Should gas come out of the bottom drain tube? Without draining it intentionally, obviously. Or is it an overflow?
I'm with you, I don't want this fucking sh1t on my bike either. WTF is a fuel pump doing on a motorcycle... one more piece to stop working and leave you stranded. My bike isn't starting only 2 weeks after buying it, and I'm like... is it this POS fule pump? I want all these safety kill switches off too... on the clutch, on the kickstand, on the neutral switch, whereever. Anything that will keep my engine from cranking, I want gone. When I found out there was a bloody safety kill switch on the kickstand and on the clutch handle I didn't know about, I almost lost my mind.
What tools did you use to get the pinch bolt out under the light?
Thanks so much for posting this video.
Where the gas line go into carb when its just a single carburetor
Thank you
03 750 spirit owner here I personally bought mine with it already taken off just a different routing on the fuel line runs great! I also agree with these other comments one less thing to fail! Ain’t that the truth!
Bro seriously thank you so much this has to be the BEST video hands down more simple then this it doesn’t get cant wait to fix my leak 👊🏻
Great teaching my friend have a blessed week
Wish i knew this that the petcock has to be above the carburetors before i bought a narrow frisco sportster tank..
Is this something I need to lift my bike for?
🤔vapour lock on highways ?
Do you have to wait until the forks are back on the bike before you add the oil? Or can you add the oil before installing the forks back?
You don't have to cut one just use a long Allen an use the wrench on it
If i could make a quick suggestion, there was no mention of checking the float level and the volume was a little low. Otherwise, that was a very informative video, thank you sir.
Wish mine was going as well...my fork caps are not comming off, even with a 3 ft helper bar.....I think I am to the point of using head...or cutting the bolt head for smaller socket, as the edges of the bolts gave out and my 1 3/8 no longer works....might try a 34mm before cutting...but dang, you all make it look easy.
Spay with pb blaster first and a 35mm socket with braker bar put some tape over fork caps and turn to the left they will come off.
@@andawayigorollinlikeadonut1986 Thanks for the suggestion, finally got them off, looks like the previous owner had put pipe dope on the threads.
Very helpful
thank you. this method also prevents Allen heads bolts from getting rounded out.
Dude don't ask about your aftermarket fuel tank things ugly anyway
Was there ever a problem with the front brakes since the front brake master cylinder is at such a extreme angle when on the bars?
Did you ever get those metal snaps? I can't get mine on
I picked up these Snap Fastener Machine Screw Stud, 1/2" Stainless Steel #8 Screw, 10 Pc. Set amzn.to/3Ism9Dg and they worked out great as a replacement for the plastic ones.
@@SportsterProject thanks brother
SP0RTSTERS RULE!! 🤘😎🤘
Where did you get the extended cables for throttle/brake/clutch. I'm having a hard time finding some for my shadow 750 ace
Jarvis, I don't remember. I think it may have been from the old cruiser customizing (which I don't think is around anymore). JP Cycles carries a pretty good selection of cables for metric bikes, that might be worth a look.
What makes it Swedish
The tall front of the frame
Great info, thanks!
Awesome video man! Super helpful! 🤙🏿
Will this kit work on a 07 HD 1200c?
Not 100% sure, but I think so.
Great vid dude. 🤟 Thanks for the walkthrough. I have a 16’ wide glide I need to pull the battery on to charge it so this is helpful. 😁
Why don't they make that same tank for vt1100? to be able to do the same !!!
Curious on what that hose is coming out of your cam cover? Is that a breather mod running to their?
