Great vid and nice bike, I have a 74 Kickstart in the UK and I am about to convert to electric start because my Sciatica is playing up! I will also re-shim the transmission this winter as this for me is a concern on these motors, I run a Buell cv carb on it with an adapter which runs well, Love that old-school chop look you have.
Mines a 75. I need to put the kick start back on. Great to have as a back up. My plans are to run a narrow springer front end. More vids around beginning of next year on the year down and rebuild.
@@danielpatterson2254 Sounds good, I am going to collect a 1974 XLH electric start with an S&S stroker motor in it tomorrow and I will swap the motors this week.
No sure. Just bought this bike off my friend. First chopper. I do know that the entire top end was just rebuilt. I plan on making more videos this December on the tear down of everything but the motor. Going to be cleaning up the frame and everything else on it. It’s a good looking bike but it looks tired. Converted to rear disc brake since, no front. Stay tuned more videos to come, but first work. Dammit.
Man I sure wish my 68 ran like that. Gonna try another carb here soon. After changing everything including new top end coil ,points ,plugs, wires , still cant get the thing to not sputter over around 45 -50 mph. Tried all timing variations and jet combos. Its driving me nuts. Running a cv40 gonna try a bendix a neighbor gave me.
No fork stop. Currently it’s the tank. It’s how I got it. Tank is dented where the top tree hits. This December I’ll be taking apart the bike and redoing a lot of it. Keeping it a chopper, just cleaning it all up. Stay tuned I’ll keep my progress updated here.
@@projectcarl2706 pop a 48t sprocket on there if its already got a disc, my old one had a 52t stock and i switched it to 48t and it was much smoother. couldnt catch me to about 80 lol
I don’t know the brand or where it came from. When I picked up the bike it was already on it. It’s not a horse shoe and has a built in oil filter adapter. Have never seen another one like it. I tried image search but still couldn’t find a match.
Yup a 75. Different at first, used it now. It’s my main bike. And when go to another bike to ride it takes a mile or two to get used to left shift again.
That's the way I like it! Just riding, with no talking and with no music, just listening to the exhaust sound and seeing the landscape!
Awesome! I feel like I got a ride in without even leaving the farm.
Beautiful chopper, totally badass.
Love those bars man! Nice scoot. And we all look for just one more gear... Lol.
Facts bro about the gear ⚙️ 🤣
I still bump up in 5th with a 5speed lol
Yeeess no music just the sweet sound of the bike. Nice video !

Really this guy got it right. With the bike and the video. Sounds really good man!
Thanks for the ride bro! Ride on and stay safe! Beautiful bike!
A true neighborhood nightmare 💪 them low slung bend on your springer looks sweet. It matches the paint as weird as that sounds. I'm a weird dude
Sweet ride , love the sound of the engine 👍🙏
Bad ass Sports as I call my 79.
Nothing like getting hit by rain at 70 mph ! Nice ride !
Lol my que to turn around but ol boy is CHOPPIN!! luv it
Nice running/sounding ironhead!!! Seems to be dialed in very well! You running stock teeth sprockets?

Love it. Mine is on blocks waiting for parts. I’ll have to ride through this video for awhile.
Sorry about the rain drops. Will make another one soon white nicer weather. But a rides a ride. Enjoy.
Sweet machine Carl.
I see you want another gear too . I find myself wondering if I'm in 4th or not . I'm thinking I may change my sprockets.
Beautiful bike man!!😻
absolutely perfect, bike sounds good
Love the handlebars
classic ride. ride safe and much respect
I like how grab for another gear coming onto airbase haha
HA HA!!! Didn’t count my gears.
Could've watched that for hours man
This is a whole mood

I've got a 76 running super E ss if that doesn't work out
cool beans! QUESTION: What did you do for fork stops on that dna springer front end?

Nothing like the sound of a old ironhead 1000
nice condition! nice sound!
Lo felicito muy buena máquina 👏👏👏👏💪🏽👍
Thanks.
Oh yeah , nice ride !
That scooter is cool AF! I sub’d ya!
Yep the them old iron heads needed one more gear.
Indeed it dose.

@@Spaceman_Spiff_74 thanks for the info. Wasn’t sure what tooth count I really wanted to go to.
What handle bars are those? Just picked up a 72 ironhead and looking to do something similar.
No idea. They were on the original set up when I bought the bike and have never seen another like them.
What kind of handle bars are those
ironheads forever 🤘🏽 take these over shovels and pans any day
Sounds good.
closest I'll get to riding mine...lol
cool bike
hi, can you tell me exact front end specification? thanks!
I know springer 2over.
@@projectcarl2706 thanks alot! was looking for a video with 2 over, whanna get it for my sporty! cheers and take care!
Been trying to find a narrow 4 over but instead going opposite direction. I picked up a 4 under narrow. Videos on that in the near future.
@@projectcarl2706 subscribed, will be waiting for those! cheers mate
This is the way.
Are those Gabriel shocks?
What kind of bars sre those?
is that a right hand shift?
Soo good, let it ride
What oil tank are you running?
I don’t know the brand or where it came from. When I picked up the bike it was already on it. It’s not a horse shoe and has a built in oil filter adapter. Have never seen another one like it. I tried image search but still couldn’t find a match.
Sweet! Is it a 75? I noticed you were shifting with your right foot
Yup a 75. Different at first, used it now. It’s my main bike. And when go to another bike to ride it takes a mile or two to get used to left shift again.
An Ironhead correct built and maintained is just as reliable as a Evo sportster!
where did you get your handlebars??
They were on the bike when I got it. Haven’t seen ones for sale ever. They are vintage a bars along with the risers.
yep yep
Ironheads just sound better. I had a 74 I regret selling for a Road King.
Ouch. More vids to come on a tear down and redo of this chopper.
The neighbourhood is amused..
LOL!! I know especially when when I’m warming the bike up.
Im selling my car and buying a bike, I'm so excited
🤘😎🤘
👍
No there isn't another gear.
LOL!!! Still gets me tho.
