That was impressive, how much she was charging at idle! Like you pointed out, it looks like the old stator had a couple of windings that looked suspiciously dark. I'm 100% with you on changing out the regulator at the same time. It's like front end parts on a car. If you just change out one worn out part, you can take it to the bank that the "good" tie rod or ball joint that you leave on the other side will fail quick, fast, and in a hurry. Parts that work together should get replaced together, even if only one actually failed. Everything from your lights to your ignition will be a lot happier with that good, strong, consistent voltage. Scotty has shown how much beefier the Cycle Lectric stators are compared to the cheap knockoffs, and now you just showed us how beefy they are compared to the HD part. Good videos like this make it easy to make up my mind to spend the money on the good parts. Thanks for takin us along for the ride, Tramp
4,007 miles for my 1st solo ride ever. Ya, I'm 64 years old. Didn't ride 35 years. 3 boys. Was tuff but now it's awesome. Was cool to meet you guys. We don't have much in common. Forgotten Angels camp out was a great time. And important cause for all of us.
Older bikes don’t always mean “work”. I’m an Evo rider too. Maintain that sumbich, love it and give it a bathe every so often and she’ll give you more love than your ole lady. My pops told me years ago that when it comes to Evo’s, don’t mess with’er. Let it stay stock, maybe a cam but keep it real. She will last you till forever. He wasn’t wrong. Still riding mine. 🤘🏼
Nice work brother. I’ve done many electrical and charging system repairs in my time, and when I was on the tools full time, I use to enjoy diagnosing and repairing wires and stuff. I too hate interstate roads. Here in Australia, I’ll stay as far off the highway as possible. Better roads, better scenery and sure it takes longer, but more time on the bike is never a bad thing.
Hi mate, love your videos, keep ‘‘em coming.. I have 5 old scoots and man they keep me busy maintenance wise, especially after tearing over these roads in Tasmania. Anyhow, a Harley evo is one of my bikes. Appreciate your stuff, cheers.
Always nice to get back on the open road. I think I need to replace my stater this year and two new tires. Great content keep that shade tree in line lol.Big howdy to Ray Gregory Rides I met him last summer an Virginia at VAMM
Man that’s a beautiful bike. I was so happy to see you Guys, I enjoyed hanging out with you both. I really miss my adopted family. Can’t wait to get back together again!
Barron, didn’t see you anywhere Sunday morning before we left!? Hate that I missed not getting one more hug before everyone hit the road. Hoping we’ll see you again soon!
"I'm sure glad I know how to edit!!" This is the best line I have heard on UA-cam - ever!! Channel just keeps getting better and better!! I think you made a great call on the stator btw. Also don't doubt how you minister to people. Just cos you don't see all of it doesn't mean it isn't there!! 😉
Corey, I find myself missing the "open road". Somehow, this video helps console my soul some and points me in a direction that will put me out there again. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Thanks for Sharing!
Well brother, i encountered your videos starting with the cam swap video. I traded my Victory (most reliable bike ive owned) for a 86 FLT in great shape and i absolutely love it! Keep the ckntent coming!
Awesome video!! I love watching your videos especially when you start to explain motorcycle parts & how they work & he issues each parts tend to have. It's very knowledgeable & helpful for future bike maintenance. Thanks for the awesome content!!
Went that route on my 97 Heritage. Getting those two small screws that secure the connector feeding out of the primary was a huge pain. It was good to see you and the Mrs at the campout.
Scooter Tramp Scotty put a new cycle electric stator or regulator on his and he said it didn't last long which isn't normally the case for cycle electric so I'm curious to see what experience you have.. I see a bare frame in the background, what you planning on build next?? A long and low chopper would be killer or attractive the Dick Allen, South Bay, sugar bear style is my favorite
@SaddleTrampTV I agree.. I'm hoping you have a better experience so that when me or a buddy needs to replace ours we know that Scotty just got a bad one and cycle electronics is still making great products
Awesome video! Makes me want to pack up and go! Love love love it! First time I haven't been triggered hearing bikes lol since my wheels are not touching the pavement yet!
5:52 @@SaddleTrampTV hey so what's the brand of the gasket sealer or maker you mentioned in one of your videos? Finally got enough parts to start putting my girl back together!
I have a question for Mrs. Saddletramp. You don't let Saddletramp video you but you let @dirtymortorcyclevagabond record you for his video. We don't get to see enough of you.
Great trip and a lovely bike! I have never had HD but i fall in love with Evo engine (dont know why :D ). How is that even possible to ride interstate speeds with open-face helmet without ear plugs? :)
@@SaddleTrampTV Unbelievable :) there are tons of topic on the internet where riders fight with wind buffeting and noise with different accessory screens (specially on adv bikes) even wearing full face helmets :) Im one of them :D cant ride with interstate speeds (adv bike with screen) without ear plugs :D
When you installed your new stator, how did you go about getting the rubber plug to go through the hole in the case? It was a mighty pain when I did mine, until I tied a length of twine around the plug and pulled from through the whole outside the case....popped right in, clipped the twine, mission accomplished. But until the twine idea, that plug WAS NOT going into that hole far enough.
l did 1800 miles on my 94 FLSTN 2 months back.. never missed a beat there a great bike.. l always fill my left tank then the right... do you do that ?? cheers mate
I fill my right first so that my left won't try to spill over as it feeds more fuel from the crossover tube. It can be real messy on my shovel if I don't do it that way being it's kick only.
For those of you who have never pushed a Softail, it weighs around 750 pounds on a flat surface, 750 tons uphill. My coil went south on me right after I went a half mile downhill. Three hours later I managed to get to the top of the hill again and laid the bike down. First time ever on its side and me gasping for air on my back. No fun...
I have a friend who road cross country every year on his Heritage , late 90’s model. Then one time the carb body cracked and left him with a bad day. Now it sits next to his pan and shovel collecting dust. They look mint though.

It’s a good thing you changed all that because you had a precious passenger on the back.

Doing preventive maintenance on tired parts you don't trust is wise maintenance. I met you and wife at born free. God Bless safe ridin rubber down

It's awesome seeing you take the heritage on a road trip again!
Thanks, man! Felt good to do so too!
Thanks for sharing.surprised you didn’t take the van.
Would've been nice, but those fuel prices at 9 mpg.
Compensator spring pack: if it makes noise when shaken...it is bad.
Certainly suspect.
Great video and good to see you again! Great job with the music on this one, keep em coming!
Thats what Im needing.. a damm good weekend of Beer/Bikes/Barbecue and other shiz 😁.. great vlog as usual.. Charging systems are go... 👊
Maybe come on over for the next one?
🤔. Theres a plan 🍺🇬🇧
Great job man. I'm bummed we didn't connect on this one. Next time my friend.
Next time, Lord willing.
Good to see you again my friend
Keep Yammering your Hammer! Stators and regulators seem to go at the same time or close enough that it’s best to just fix it once.
Looks like a good time!
awesome video, Saddle Tramp!
Thank you, my friend
I've mentioned before that bike is my favorite of those you own.
One of favorites too. That and the shovel.
Great to see you again…….!

Just a bunch of left over learnings from hard knox. It was a nice ride down.

Best upgrade to do on a Softail before going on a long trip is to trade it for a Road King or an Electra Glide. Happy Trails. 😅
I have a 1989 (owned since new) and a 1991. I trust them more than the new ones.
In the same boat with you, man.
93 FXR and I agree.
Another good one 👍👍

Awesome video Sir. I need a helmet exactly like yours, cover my cold ears. Which one is that if you don't mind me asking?
The helmet came from a company out of Pensacola, FL that went out of business due to a hurricane back in 2004. I made the ear covers for it.

You shouldn't need any more than a 32 amp. If the compensator springs rattle when you shake them, it's time to replace.
