It's not comfortable, but the trick is not to mind.
Everyone has a purpose in this life, if only to serve as a terrible example.
This channel is intended as a warning to anyone thinking of buying an old motorbike, particularly the Harley Ironhead and BSA B40.
It's too late for me; save yourselves

I would have Yakety Sax playing in the background, but it's probably a copyright minefield.

Needs taller handlebars. I'm storing all the original parts out of harms' way in case I ever need to sell it. It's not 1973 and nobody buys cut-down 350's with big handlebars anymore. Shame. I would put flames on the tank, but it already has racing tape down the middle.

'Competition' is a much bandied-about adjective, but in the case of Springzilla it is totally justified. The big red clutch spring works a treat, but wears friction plates at an alarming rate. There is an aftermarket assembly for the big twins of the period, which kind of share a transmission with Sportsters, so I'm looking into that now.

1) Push rocker arm spindle back into engine, where it belongs. 2) Locate decorative (and functional, as it happens) acorn nut some yards back up the A1077 (just follow the dribble of steaming hot 20W/50). 3) Re-attach nut with plumbing wrench, wipe off the kickstart, and carry on your way.

The reed had bent back and was closing the breather, resulting in an oil mist emanating from the crankcases (rear breather also found to be out of action, for complicated reasons).

The kickstart lever, like the entire front end, is made of purest vibratium and that rubber popsicle requires constant vigilance.

Currently unwilling to rev above 4,500 for some reason. Generally good for 5k at least, so I should put the compression tester on it sometime soon.
Do not ignore ANYTHING on an Ironhead. 1979 AMF Harley-Davidson XLH1000 Sportster

The damn thing pumps oil just fine, so I can ignore a failed oil pressure switch, right? Yes, and no. On the upside, the military paint has worked well. I emptied a 400ml rattle can all over the tank, which had been orbital sanded back to bare steel with 80 grit then 320. Dry. It doesn't match the ammo boxes on the back and when I filled in 'Olive Drab' as the colour, the V5C came back as 'Gree...

Additional: Base nuts don't have washers, but head bolts and rocker box nuts do. Also, remember to turn the engine so the tappets are down on whichever cylinder you're tightening the rocker box on, otherwise you'll be fighting against the valve springs, risking a warped rocker box, bent pushrods and stripped threads. Ask me how I know.
