Hey, what's up guys? I'm Jason - Welcome to Freebird's Garage, my hobby turned passion.
For as long as I can remember I've been wrenching, whether on my [car] back in high school, dune buggies, my first Sportster, motorcycles through the years, and of course my FXR that really transformed my hobby into this passion.
I love it out in the garage and one day had the crazy idea to start filming the hours spent out there, putting what I love the most out into the world, and helping anyone who wants to wrench and ride.
Glad to have you here for the adventure.
And as always, STAY FREE.

How to change clutch basket friction plates or upgrade
I’ve never seen a fairing with that upper pod housing before
It's the later year's Harley Davidson FXRT 86-92
That's overkill and just added weight. I bought the wheel vice sold by Harbor Freight for $79.
I mention in the video it's over kill, but I love the way it functions
First time in my life I've seen Teflon tape used for a drain plug on a Harley. A new proper O-ring will seal.
I just assembled my HF lift like this a few days ago. I haven't put my 900lb Harley on it yet because I'm working on mods. I bought and installed the upgraded wheel vice for $79. All the reviews I read talked about the factory wheel chock is trash fodder. I applied 12" wide traction tape to the ramp and lift deck. I drilled and installed a 9" x 1/2" carriage bolt pointing down from the front corners of the deck to the floor to prevent the lift from tipping forward when loading a heavy motorcycle. I have added 4 eyelet bolts on the deck in locations better suited for straps to my bike. Probably my last mod I am working on now is adding 10" x 84" HF ramps to the sides of the deck for better footing while loading & unloading my bike. Probably not needed for smaller bikes but my Electra Glide Classic Harley isnt easy to wrestle with pushing or picking it up. Oh, I almost forgot, I added a piece of angle steel to the trap door underside that didn't have any bracing.
ua-cam.com/video/FTRgV7ke6DI/v-deo.html I upgraded mine as well makes it 100 times easier and safer
Windsor Ontario Canada watching 👀 😎 😍 luv your channel.
Appreciate the support from Windsor Ontario!! 💪
EVO LUV THEM
👊👊
Rebuild forks
That's for sure coming up, just settling on which set up I wan to roll with. I appreciate the feedback!
soooooo you're saying you want to The FXR FiXR?
I'll be the flipper Fixer FXR flipper. Attest in my eye's, which is enough for me! lol
Flipping FXR’s would be awesome! Commissioned bike build!!! But any bike you touch is worth watching in my opinion! I’m here for the long haul my friend!
And one of these days we will meet up!
💪💪Yes sir! This one is going to be a good one and it'll take some by surprise what we have planned. Glad you here my friend!
Can you send me info how to order led light bulb I have 1992 fxrs thx
I'm not to sure for the rear, unless you are looking at the entire tail light assembly
Well Happy New I love FXRS but saying that I have more then that in my driveway my first Harley is my 92 Heritage that sits beside my 92 FXR all so 01 CVO Dyna my point yes the old ones are what I like to ride and O yeah work on lol
awesome line up! CVO Dyna, now that is great one to hold too and will go up in the days to come!
Great vid thanks
I picked up a 1998 1200S several years ago with 5100 miles for $2,800 from a guy in L.A. I was going to make a Hooligan short track bike but my friends quit racing so I dropped the project. The bike runs excellent and is fun to ride for about 1/2 an hour before the vibration is no longer enjoyable. They are still out there and the owners who know what they have will want a premium for them. There is not that much difference between a 1200 and a 1200S. In fact, if you just want to enjoy the style and ride of a sportster you can't beat the 883.
Good info, thanks for sharing your 1200S story.
Pull the spark plugs out if you're cranking it just to clear the sumping issues. Put them back in to start it. Your battery will thank you.
That’s a great idea, should have thought of that!
Loving the channel. Stumbled across it looking for info on getting my 93 convertible. Keep up the fxr love man
Thanks for the support! I’m stoked that you’re digging the FXR content!
@ love the contrast wheels on this one. Is it just a black? Matte finish?
you lost me at reading. lol. Wait wait wait, where did Taco Farts and Thunder Starts go?! These need to be in EVERY video!
I’m working on a design limited edition shirts! Every order comes with a holographic card
Healthy sounding evo
Thank you!! 💪
were can I FIND THIS EXACT JACKET WOULD LOVE TO BUY ONE FOR Riding?
amzn.to/4hmXC1r that should be the one, they've sense up graded the one I have.
Great video
Thank you for watching!
you see that brown epoxy dripping down at 8:05? thats not going to get better. one day you will be cruising down the road and it will start backfiring so badly that you sound like youre doing a drive by shooting. i would highly recommend replacing that part while you have it open, you WILL have to do it later.
Came here to say that , time for a dynatek
You are absolutely right, I was thinking of doing it before spring here in Michigan before it leaves me stranded. Dynatek will be the move!
@@freebirdsgarage wasnt trying to redline you, just trying to help. i didnt know what the brown goop was on mine and I had to learn the hard way and didnt want someone else to have to deal with it. hype to see the dynatek install though, i just cheaped out and did a quick swap to another putty plate because i wasnt confident messing with dynatek.
GREAT JOB I also felt as if I had waisted my money with the clear plastic viewing plug . There may be a difference in them or how fresh the oil is. Keep up the good work. I'm liking the T returning to it's proper glory, it takes away some of my personal guilt from taking my 1989 FXRT the other way. Later, Peace COBAR in Nebraska
I had no idea there was one, reading about the timing nobody mentions that plug. But now i know! Glad you are enjoying the restorish on the FXRT!
Dude please buy good microphone 😢
It’s time, enough have spoken. Glad you enjoyed it enough to let me know. Thank you!
They sold a clear timing plugso no oil spits out
Never knew about that, but I see how that would be useful!
During a marriage in the movie "Beyond the Law" (1993) with Charlie Sheen and Michael Madson, their'e use this manual instead "The Holy Book"
ohhh yeah!
To avoid al the messy splishy splashy oily fog, coming out the timing-hole: You can use a clear, round, acrylic Timing Plug Sight Window. Because every time, i timed the timing ( ten years ago 😇 ) my Strobo-light was messed up.😂 Also: You Sir, are a proud owner of the original "Holy FXR-Bible".
Holy bible it is! It's been an absolute savor when ever I have questions on this FXR. Also, I had no idea about the clear sight glass. That would make it easier!
Awesome Jason! I've tried using the plastic timing plug but couldn't see the timing marks. Did you use the throttle thumb screw to lock in the RPM for the procedure? Thanks again for taking the time to share.
I still had the cables off on this one, so I used the throttle screw on the carb until I got that sweet spot 1400 RPMs.
Good job Jay! Man, I haven't done timing on a bike in 20 years. You made it look way easier than I remember it being!
Much appreciation my friend!! This one was more satisfying then I imagine, feels great hearing that evo balanced again!
Check the screws on that throttle plate, make sure they are tightened down with loctite. Had one let go and take out a valve on the rear head on a Shovelhead one time.
Will do, i've herd of horror stories of that happening. I appreciate the advice and for watching!
Did you have to cut the bade plate to make that light work?
90's and up back plate, you do not have to. But you will if you have a late model.
S&S has a great video on basic setup for the carb.
They are really good, it was my error. The return cable for the idle look correct. Once I removed it, she idled perfectly. I appreciate you watching!
Nice there you go, been a long time, congrats
Thanks! It's been a labor of love but she's alive.
Suction to get gravity to pull on that gas? Lmao wtf?
It’s called wet sumped
The gas is gravity fed and I was referring to covering the carb and increasing vacuum.
@@freebirdsgarage I know man ! Lol I just have to give you a hard time over the word salad .
Sand paper would be way quicker than cement ?
Correct, this is just a method an old timer told me about.
BRING THE THUNDER! Well, first bring more Taco bell farts...BUT THEN! BRING THE THUNDER!! Congrats my dude!
💪Thunder and T-Bell farts, next T-shirt design coming soon!😂
@@freebirdsgarage No no, here's the money maker...Taco Farts and thunder Starts! SEND IT!
Did you adjust the idle screw on the carb? Maybe that needs to be turned out
I did and backed it all the way "closed", but wasn't until i removed the throttle cables. They were just so slightly keeping on the idle from the kink in the cable.
Nice work. I always struggle with carburetor adjustments. Sounds good.
I'm always learning on them too. A lot of trial and error on these. Thank you for watching!
Makes my Sunday night
NOW that is awesome to hear, thank you for watching!!👊👊
IT'S ALIVE!!!!!!!! That's awesome Jay! One step closer to seeing it on the road!!!
Yes sir! WE HERE 💪💪
Thanks! Congrats on the startup! Really enjoy your videos, especially since I bought an '87 FXLR this fall. Interesting creatures!!
Thanks, they are a ton of fun to work on. Enjoy the build!
I found my 1991 FXRS-CONV LowRider Convertible with 32k miles for 3.5k(sportster money) on OfferUp. I was searching on motorcycle tradet, marketplace, etc. And was VERY surprised to find my bike on OfferUp and it was local less that 5 miles away from my house.
Morale of the story......CV Carbs. 😂
🤣🤣
That thought passed me many times and I wanted to try something new! lol
Woohoo! Congratulations!
Thanks! I was holding my breath for that moment.
First start ups are always iffy, it sounds good!
Thanks, it sounds better than I expected, it’s just the beginning!
Very cool!
Thank you!!
Hell, yeah!!! I know that feeling and it is a good one!
Yes it is! Makes working on these bikes so satisfying, thank you for watching and commenting!
Awesome to hear it start up. All that work is worth while.
Thank you, it’s been a labor of love, but it’s starting to come together!
Thanks for posting. I hope those lights are working for your purpose. They’re nowhere near 18,000 lumens though. It really pi*ses me off that they can advertise such numbers and get away with lying. I saw them at HF today and thought there must be some reviews if those numbers were right. …definitely no reflection on you. I appreciate you posting the video.
I agree with you, they are pretty bright but not 18k! I've had good luck with them but would've appreciated an honest number.
Good video but he's not holding the torque wrench in the correct place. You will actually have an incorrect torque with the way he's holding it
Thank you!
Just remowe the hose from the airbox and plug that hole, route the breater hose under the bike easier to catch the oil in a drip pan and you woont suck any oil vapour into the motor while running.
Solid advice and i will be trying that. Nobody talks about that when starting these EVO's with the slumping problems from sitting. Thank you!
@ Back in 1992 When I bought my first Big Twin Harley Softail Springer which was a super clean stock -89 model first start after winter storage not knowing much about Harleys, oil was just puring on the nose cone down sll over the ground, I was in shock snd though the motor was done for, since then I am more surprised when they do not pool after sitting. I have a built evo motor with top breather which does not pool after sitting.
